Bullshi*!! Tell her her son can ride his bike alongside whatever car ya'll are driving if it's that important the he bring it.

We battle this on a different level.. BM keeps sending a lunch box with SD4. Are you kidding me? If she were younger or had allergies or whatnot then yeah fine, but we dont eat junk like that at our house, and an old taco that you bought yesterday or a lunchable thats been in that cooler for 2 days is not edible!

We are pretty much forced to drive my raggidy car to go get SD, we have a 4runner that is much nicer but FDH cant afford the gas to go get her most of the time and I dont think thats a bill I should have to pay!

Id tell BM to shove it if SD had a bike she wanted to bring! She can ride it at her BMs house!

Not a bicycle issue but ...... SpermGrandMa actually had the balls to call my wife and demand SS's old car seat (that she gave to my wife when SS was little), winter coats, etc... when the SpermIdiot spawn #2, 3 and 4 started showing up. With the exception of the car seat all of the stuff she wanted we had purchased for SS and it was long gone to either our friends or to GoodWill along with that ancient car seat.

WTF! :jawdrop:

We told her no, that it was cheaper for her to buy new stuff than for us to ship the old stuff to her. Then she had the balls to ask us to send the money for her to replace the stuff. :jawdrop: :jawdrop:

Some people just do not have the good sense and common decency to realize that they are idiots and insist on burdening the rest of us with their crap.

On one winter visitaiton we sent SS with a nice new winter coat. It got lost in SpermLand and he came back with SpermGrandMa's 1972 vintage pink and baby blue ski jacket. She actually had the balls to call us and ask for that jacket back. We sent her a copy of the receipt for SS's lost jacket and told her we expected a check.

By the time she called for her jacket it had already been picked up by the Salvation Army. We never got her to pay for SS's coat but we did get the tax write off for her coat. }:) It went in with a pile of other cloathing we had cleaned out of all of the closets in our house.

It is not only the SpermClan we struggle against with this issue. My wife's family has a tendency to call and ask us to sell them a car (8yr note $200/mo), for us to ship our older furniture to them, etc, etc, etc......

I think it is the water in SpermLand. It makes people incapable of being embarrassed by their stupid behavior.

Sigh!!!!!

We basically have 50/50 so anything SS needs, we have here...we have more here than she does at her house. BUT she has an older daughter, who we like very much (sometimes I wish she was my SD instead of SS).she is in tons of activities on the nights/days we have to drop off SS so she will tell us where to drop off SS. For a few months, DH had to drive to her daughters practice, now she told us every other week we have to drop him off at another activity. Sometimes the places are closer to home, so it's not as bad but sometimes its 30+ minutes from our house! She doesn't ask if we would mind, she gives minimal notice and DH says "I'm doing it for SS not her"...really like SS wants to go sit in the cold at night bc his sister is at an activity? I told him SHE should have to come pick him up if she wants him there. If not, we keep custody until she returns home, then we will drop him off. Of course DH just does whatever BM TELLS him to do

Oh yeah BM pulled this crap all the time. Her demands were always in the name of what is best for SD. BF used to cater to her demands but once he stopped he stopped LOL. Bm's world is in a tailspin because she lost the control. Of course it is all my fault }:)

Oh I know exactly what you mean, it's not even really about the bike it's about the lack of planning and pushing buttons and assuming u will cater to every need! My skids BM sends them down with a list of things that we need to buy every weekend/ holiday, will not let them bring and clouthes down, said we need to buy them if we want them.... Really? U took all the stuff we bought u can't send them down with anything? She actually sold his fourwheeler and kept the money last time we sent it down

Sometimes I think these exes have it all worked out in their heads how the scenario will go and they forget they are actually divorced and we exist.
Sorry sweetie! I am a more important part of his life than you ever were. And he DOES talk to me and discuss things with me.
Hence this is why BM threw a fit one T/Giving when we had dinner waiting and she decided to go shopping with her mother 2 hrs away in her home town and DH insisted she bring the boys back NOW.Her plan was to stay the night with her parents and the boys without calling DH at all. Eventually the boys turned up at 7pm instead of 2pm. DH was livid. When they arrived DH sent them inside and read her the riot act. If she EVER pulls this crap again on his holiday time he would drag her arse into court. He knew she will only get a slap on the hand but it will humiliate her to the nth degree and waste as much of her time as it did his. She never did it again. Embarrassing her in public KILLS her she is so locked up and private.
