What is wrong with this woman???

dbsojo's picture

So I should have known something was wrong when ss actually called us. Turns out, it wasn't even ss, it was good old Ms. Perfect herself calling last night. She was calling to inform us that we would have to take ss to have his baseball pics taken, and take him to his first game on Saturday. Now she has had this information since he was chosen for the team, possibly earlier.

Not a Step issue...a Baby issue!

Okay so PLEASE be honest with me and tell me if I am wrong…this could get pretty long but I will do my best to keep it short…my husband and I just go into it and honestly I don’t even know where this came from…so here is the back ground…his sister is not a bad mother per say but she definitely leaves a lot to be desired. She has really bad choice in men and pretty low standards when it comes to what she wants in life in general.

Just need to vent

Nymh's picture

Today is BF and my 3 year anniversary. I am so lucky to be loved by someone as wonderful and perfect for me as he is. So why do I need to vent? Because on this wonderful day, a day in which I have received lots of good news of career moves and promotions at work; this day on which we celebrate the beginning of our fourth year together, BM is still as relentlessly vindictive and unnecessarily troublesome as ever. So much good has come of this day, and I know I shouldn't let her get me down...but she still does.

Should we be worried?

Mic went through the usual trying to talk to ss yesterday. She had finally turned the phone off just a little before his bedtime ( I can only assume she got tired of hearing it ring). I told Mic that he should think about calling again about 8:15 (when ss should be in bed reading-lights out at 8:30- we don't like to interrupt then, be it wasn't like he hadn't tried earlier). So he calls again at 8:25, and of course, the phone was back on. SS finally picks up. When Mic asked about his day, etc. he said that he and his mom were out for a walk, after dark. Hmmm...

Opinions Please?

I read earlier today someone's comment regarding 'we do not e-mail anyone of the opposite sex'. Along those lines I have a male e-mail friend I work with. I also work with my BF of 3 years. My BF definitely puts his kids ahead of me and he makes no committments to me regarding anything changing in our relationship, very clear (we are monogamous and love each other). I have e-mailed my friend for about 2 years now. He just recently broke up from a 10 relationship/engagement. We discuss all kinds of things..I have given him advice on his relationship and vice versa.

urgh here we go again

I don't even know how to begin I am so mad at the ex I could spit nails. Yesterday I had to be at work at 5am so that left h2b to get my boys off to school (which is not always easy the youngest is not at all a morning person) anyway I get a call at 7:15 saying he can't take it anymore we have to figure out something with the little one.

What is appropriate in this situation? What is your experience? Them or us.

Them = BM & BF seeing the psychologist every other week to discuss SS's(15 yrs old)progress and behaviors regarding his grades, his attitude, his lying, his activity in drugs, and just the ever so present- disciplining difference that occurs between the two households.

OR

Us = BF & me(stepmom) seeing the psychologist everyother week (or even all of us together BM,step-dad- Bf,step-mom) to discuss all of circumstances concerning SS's behaviors.

Would you be pissed if update...

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this board and who gave me their two cents worth! We moved here to Germany about 6 months ago and all my friends and family are back in the states..So I have NO ONE here to talk to about things. All of you are appreciated more then you know!!

So...I confronted hubby about the incident today. At first he tried to say that she "sent it to everyone". No she didn't because it was only his email address in the "To:" section of the email...And I told him that...(In other words he tried to lye to me.)

GRRRRRR..... venting

Yesterday was the first day that the weather was nice enough that we could have our first Little League practice. I coach my BS8 team, first practice, first impression of me for the parents of the kids on my team.

Anyway, my wife was meeting me at the field because I don't get off work on time for us to drive to the field together. I pull in behind her and find her, my BS8 and SS19 sitting in the vehicle waiting. I was kind of perturbed that SS19 was there.
