You don't have to remind us that you're a whore, BM!

Today I went in for my 39 week check up and the doctor was surprised at how dilated I am and how much I've progressed in a week. She said she'd be surprised if I last through the weekend!! Hooray our little boy is coming!

So FDH texts BM to remind her to be on extra-alert for the next two nights as the dr said it could be soon (which duh, I'm 39 weeks...but you know, he just wanted to make sure she's not going out getting trashed the next two nights while we have the skids).

BM's response:
"Ok well as long as I don't get a call during my date tonight lol"

REAL frustrated with how slow CS takes and how no one communicates .

FDH owed backpay to BM (because during their lawyer proceedings, his told him not to pay anything at all until it was settled). We knew this would come out of his tax return this year. Big bummer, but oh well. So FDH did his taxes as early as possible and found out we were only getting about $200 back total after the $4000ish came out for the backpay.

Fast forward 5 weeks later. He gets a letter from his place of work that states that he owes $4k in backpay so they have been advised to send his work bonus directly to the state child support enforcement agency. FRICK.

Little annoyances regarding BM's treatment of my pregnancy

Just love these comments from BM and her family:

-- About a week ago, BM's mom came to pick up the skids at our house. One of the first things she does when she enters is to yell, "When's that KID coming?" When FDH said, "Any day now..." she goes, "Ohhh you should have IT on March 7th because that's my birthday!" SURE, we really want our child to have the same birthday as you...? I just love her treatment...like she purposely used the word "kid" and "it" so there's like no identity.

BM gets mad that we know what's going on at SD's school and she doesn't know what's up or down.

Last Thursday morning it was 7:20. I'm sitting in the car with SD5 and SS3, and we're waiting for the bus for SD5 to come. I get a phone call from FDH and he goes, "BM doesn't think that SD has school today." I said, "Yes she does." He says, "Are you sure?" I say, "Yes. It's next week that she doesn't have school Thursday and Friday. Plus, there are other kids waiting for the bus."

How to nip attention-seeking behaviors in young children in the bud?

I've been explaining to FDH how I believe most of his son's behavior issues are attention-seeking behaviors...basically ever since I met him. I'm a teacher (or was before I relocated, I'm job hunting), but I typically see the behavior in high school students that I teach/coach, and I'm not sure what to do with a 3.5 year old who does things for attention. FDH hasn't really known what to do besides just kind of in general being hard on him.

Can't get my blood to stop boiling over BM's lack of consideration this weekend.

(I posted this on Saturday but I am adding updates)
I blogged last week about how BM wanted us to take the skids for a few hours Saturday. Since FDH worked at both of his jobs with a break between 2 and 7 he told her we'd take them just until her mom gets off of work in the afternoon. She said she'd drop them off at 1 at our house.

Raging pissed at BM's complete lack of consideration for others.

I blogged earlier this week about how BM wanted us to take the skids for a few hours (originally asked for overnight) today. Since FDH works at both of his jobs today with a break between 2 and 7 he told her we'd take them just until her mom gets off of work this afternoon. She said she'd drop them off here at 1.

Us + Daycare VS. BM

The last year has been a constant battle trying to get SS3 to do things for himself. We always have to start over with him the first day we have him because BM is "a slave for him" (her words). BM puts his shoes on for him, takes his coat off for him, hangs it up on the hook for him, brushes his teeth for him (don't get me wrong, we help him out with that since he's still young but we're teaching him how to do it well on his own), etc, etc, etc.
