This weekend was our weekend with SSs. Next week is their spring break. At their last mediation, BM insisted that DH give up every spring break, so SSs could go to her parents’ winter condo in Palm Springs. DH agreed, but BM - without fail - schedules the flight so that it eats into DH’s weekend either when they are leaving or coming back. Last year, they came back on Saturday of his weekend and she didn’t tell him until the Wednesday before. 

I can't deal with BM's stupidity!

This week, DH's bad cold developed into pneumonia. I also have the same cold, but do not have pneumonia. I suspect we picked up this cold the last time SSs came, because BM texted before sending him to say he was sick with a cold and sore throat, but he'd be fine. 

Last night, SS apparently went home and threw up. BM texts DH to say "SS is throwing up and it's all your fault because you insisted on having the kids even though you had pneumonia! Now I have to take a day off from work to stay home with him!"

Um, a few things:

I get home from the grocery store and DH rushes over to tell me something. He says, "SS just told me that BM got a promotion to managing and now she makes 10% more." I think he was upset or expected me to be upset. I said, "I don't care, because in my world she doesn't exist, so she can make whatever she wants."

BM just sent SSs' Christmas lists (that they've "worked on") out to DH, his family, and her family.

Each list has 5-7 items on it, with only one or two that are below $50 and some of the items below seem like things BM has added. For example, one has a $15 pair of basic sweatpants on there and the other has a $20 school backpack.

Am I the only one whose mother insisted I put items on my list that were both affordable and easy for people to find?
