So Tuesday night my former stepsons and I along with my BS7 went and had their pictures taken together for x mas gifts. I had the two boys done seperately as well for their mom ( I am close friends with their BM) and I plan on giving crazy ex a picture as well from the kids. I actually had their photo done alone with me as well. BS 7 and I did our own family photo and I did one of me alone as well for my parents... and I guess my BF wants one.

Afterwards the kids and I went out for pizza. They talked with BS about being nice to me and that it was okay if I dated ( they threw that one in on their own). It was funny because SS 14 confessed that when he was 5 and his dad & I started dating he didn't like me...or more appropraitely the idea of me. And then he told me of one other time he was mad at me. It was a time when I rode their asses to clean their room and made them do it a second time.

I actually apologized and said that in hindsight I wish that I would have handled some things differently. They still love me, and it was cute because since I am their ex step mom that they think now we can be good friends. The one was so funny because now he thinks he can tell me things that he wouldn't have before.

Ex is on the crazy train, he sent BM1 and I both irrational texts that he is not taking the kids for visitation anymore.
