Driving me crazy

Kerrid04's picture

SD 5 was over at our house this weekend and she lives with MIL(Long story)well MIL implanted in SD head that she is her mom.She has SD call BM by her first name. Well it just gets under my skin when she says i want my mom which is really Grandma/nana. SD told my nephew that is 8, Kerri is not my mom but Insert my BD name is my sister. I didn't get mad because it is true but i have to admit it did hurt a little.

SS's bday

Ugh, I survived the bday party. I no longer have to go to parties where BM & her family are present, but I still had to sit there & watch SS refuse to eat anything but candy & demand everyone give him presents. Thank god DH lost the notion of getting him a Nintendo DS, I can't think of a better way to waste that much money on a kid who can't keep his glases in one piece for more than a week. One more night to go, I have work in the morning & I'm thinking i'll try out my new running shoes nice & early.

Is it Normal That I Really Really Hate my Step Son?

First i would like to state a little bit of my history i was married with my ex for 15 years and we raised 2 wonderful children, we separated after 15 years but remained friends after that then about 5 years later i met another women whom i fell in love with she had at the time a 8 year old problem child with a previous ex and a 19 year old daughter from another ex (I should have seen the problems then but was in love so as they say.....)

Hehe oh BM dear...

So I asked BM why we are still paying her when we get SD half of the time and she doesnt have to pay rent or anything. Her response? "Well I'll let you ask them when we go back in 2 years to do it. They automatically do it every 3 years so you don't thing that it's me making them." And of course I let her know that in this town there are so many single fathers that I know perfectly well that a parent has to request in NC for the child support to be re evaluated. Funny thing is, I'd be thrilled if she took me today because the child support would just be lowered.

why

Why does he feel the need to call the BM daily and discuss general happenings with her? Is it really any of her business that I made spaghetti for dinner and SS only had one sheet of homework. The homework was finished and signed, and the dinner was eaten. Why would he call her to tell her about it?

my "done-ness" is catching on!

well first i want to update about SS9. he got to go home the other night. BM called FMIL and asked her why FH had not called to check on SS. MIL told her well if you were him and he treated you the way you treat him would you call? she said that she said that he couldnt come up, but i didnt say he couldnt call! WTH?!?!?! well she said that he could call when they got home and left a time frame he could call in. he called and left a message on the machine.... no call back! so he told me last night that he was done trying to please them.

Should I even do anything?

Bm and the 3 kids live with her mother in a 2 bedroom house. They've lived there since 2006. The 3 kids (2boys 1 girl) share a room the grandma has a room and bm sleeps on the couch. About a month ago bm's sister and brother inlaw and their 4 kids moved in also, the parents sleep on a air mattress in the breezeway and the 4 kids (2girls 2boys) Share an air mattress. I can't imagine anyway I've thought about calling child protective services although I'm pretty sure it will just be the sister who gets in trouble not bm.
