SS7 says Step-Dad took him to accident scene in a fire truck!
What would you do? DH wants to be nice and just call BM and ask her about her. I want to call the Fire Chief and inform him of what happened, and let him investigate.
Step-dad is a volunteer fire fighter and has been for some time. Tonight SS7 told DH in great detail how Step-Dad A.K.A 'Chubby' took him in the fire truck to the scene of an accident then left him unattended inside the fire truck while they took care of it. SS7 said there were no injuries and he was more upset that Chubby wouldn't let him go play the bowling game at the pub nearby.
Now SS7 has told stories from time to time but this one doesn't sound made up.
I know if DH calls BM and she thinks she might be in trouble then she may lie about it and say that it didn't happen or she will 'boost' about her hubby 'super-dad' and the exciting adventure they went on today. ::gag::
I think if the story is true or not DH should e-mail the chief and tell him that his son said this and let him investigate/handle it on his end.
What do you guys think?

I think it was pretty cool of the step-dad to take him on a call. What any boy wouldn't give to be in a fire truck on a scene. Why not just let it go? Sounds like step dad was trying to be nice?
I should have also said that
I should have also said that SS7 is currently being seen my a therapist for an anxiety issue. He is very concerned about dying and the causes of death. He doesn't seem to understand what happened today but in the past he has asked how old you have to be to have a heart attack or die.
Yeah, this is kind of my
Yeah, this is kind of my reaction as well. I think my son would find it totally awesome, and if my hubby did something like that I would not have an issue with it.
Wow,how cool was that! Let it

Let it be. Your SS got to do something all little boys would love to do.

I would have to side with the ladies here. It is a pretty cool thing for the SF to do here. I doubt the boy would have been able to drive the truck or do anything harmful to the inside of it.
HOWEVER, if he has an anxiety issue regarding death/accidents/etc. the SF should have been aware of that and *probably* should have refrained from exposing the boy to anything that would worsen his anxiety.
BUT --- how do you know the SF wasn't trying to help the boy's anxiety by bringing him? - I mean exposing him to something (not dangerous just a mild experience) in order to lesson his anxiety about things. It may have been helpful.
I DESPISE my DH's ex-whore, who I will never like or respect. But, I do think my step kids' SF is kind-of alright. He's been pretty *okay* (could have been better) to them & has been *okay* (could have been nicer) to me. I could actually get along with the SF, if the BM-ugly-whore wouldn't do things *constantly* to screw any hopes of an amicable relationship between anybody in this weird step life we all live in.
Sometimes SF's aren't bad. They're guys and aren't as catty (or psycho) as biomothers - but of course there's always exceptions!~ just my 2 cents
hope you can figure it out and your SS isn't affected adversely
The safety factor bothers me
The safety factor bothers me here. I am also not sure I like the fact your SS was left unattended! My ex husband was a volunteer fireman and there were strict rules about who could be on scene. There is NO way he would have allowed a child anywhere near there.
It is one thing for a kid to watch from the sidelines, behind a barricade or something, but NOT that close.
I do not think the stepdad meant any harm. I don't think you should call the chief. Can your DH talk to the stepdad?
Wow, lucky kid!! What a
Wow, lucky kid!!
What a little boy fantasy, no?
Don't make an issue of it... I can't believe you want to call the Fire Marshal and stir up problems.
My SO use to work for a fire
My SO use to work for a fire department and occasionally took the Skids to certain scenes of course knowing ahead what type of call was always a factor. They stayed out of the action and didn't see any kind of gory mess but they did get to race around in the fire trucks with the lights and sirens going. All the guys on the department did this and everyone knew which scenes the kids could tag along to.
I would personally love to be cramped up with a bunch of firemen.
I personally would be more
I personally would be more concerned that your SS knows about what games are inside a PUB? Why is he hanging out in a PUB?
In the state Wisconsin that
In the state Wisconsin that we live in Kids are allow inside Pubs that serve food. I guess bar and Grille would have been a better word. We took SS to that place for dinner a few times.
When we went to Indiana for the wedding I explained to my DH and his family that kids are not allowed in bars, restaurants with bars do not allow kids in the bar area, unlike in Wisconsin where kids kind of go where ever.
