If you've read some of my other blogs, you know about my meddling MIL and what a terrible drama fest Christmas is every year thanks to BM's insistence that she get the children EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE...even though she and her lawyer recently agreed to and signed an agreement stating that they alternate Christmas every year (giving each parent from 9am on December 23rd through 6pm on December 27th every other year). Since signing the agreement, BM has ignored most of the things they agreed to and vowed not to follow the Christmas provision. 

In the last two weeks alone, BM has sent DH messages telling him he’s the most immature and selfish person she ever met, telling him that she has to communicate with him through the children because he doesn’t want to hear from her, then telling him how he makes the children upset with his responses. She also continues to text and call SSs constantly when they are with us, asking if they are okay. Commiserating on how terrible we are (in particular, how terrible it was that DH yelled at one SS after he hit the other SS in the face in front of DH).

My MIL (and the rest of DH’s family) manage to turn me into a Scrooge every year for Christmas.

Up until this year, DH had to split Christmas with BM, meaning he didn’t have his kids until 10am on Christmas Day.

As you may know if you've read my past blogs we are in the midst of the continuing saga of BM desperately trying to convince DH to go to counseling with her because, according to her, SS is so sad that she and DH can't be friends.
