Top Ten Ways to annoy a BM...

princessmofo's picture

1. DH exists.

2. We (stepmoms) exist.

3. The legal system does not revolve around her.

4. The world does not revolve around her.

5. "Her" child has fun, any kind of fun without her.

6. Do not engage her, or communicate with her on "her" terms.

7. Stick to the CO.

8. Take a vacation with your wife and family...ever.

9. Buy something, anything with your wife(house, furniture, car, pet), without BM's consent or consultation.

10. Procreate with "her" husband (obviously her ex-husband but some CAN'T seem to let go).

I'm sure you all have your own lists or contributions to make to this, so let's hear them.

12. Wear a bra and matching clothes. BM considers these things fancy. I guess looking good for your DH is annoying to the ex.

Oh, or be thinner, younger, prettier basically giving a crap at all about your appearance.

You not refraining from using sentences that include the word "my" when speaking of SK, no matter how casual. Even if it is something as simple as "my SS".

You not backing down from pursing a custody/CO change

SM having anything to do with anything that has to do with SK

Each year the SM is "still around"

When you don't believe the lies they tell you to turn you against your spouse.

When you call them out.

When you still maintain your class even though she tries to bring out the dark side of you Wink

There are many more, but I don't wanna take up more answers

When DH is a better man and husband to you then he ever was to her- just eats her up I'm treated like a princess and she was too busy hating him and having a side relationship to care back then Wink

Teaching BM's children proper grammar
Expecting an excuse me after passing gas, or burping
Wearing skirts, clean clothes and not exposing my bra's under tank tops or at least making sure they match and are not weird dingy gray
Encouraging SO to get his GED, supporting his decision to go to college after that.
Getting my college degree (apparently this one makes me a "hoity toity snobby see you next Tuesday")
Having a house
Not living with my parents

competence.

it annoys the ever loving shit outta dumbass }:) from both myself and DH. yup, have house, have job, have decent vehicle (that we budget for repair expenses, so they're well maintained).

she even asked DH one time while staying with Mister Potato Head during one of her brief splits with New Dick "it is SO hard i just dont think i can do this. how would you (dh) manage without Tuff?" he said "the same way i did before."

that woman is killing what little brain cells she has, one at a time, so her life is slowly spiraling out of control. it totally annoys her that DH and I have our act together }:)

Oh, when I taught SS to hold a pencil properly. HAHA, that annoyed the shit out of her because "he is fiiinnnneee, that's how I hold MY pencil". Dh's response **enter extreme sarcasm** "oh, yeah and you are so successful in life, I really want my son to be JUST LIKE YOU, right?".

* DH got married to me but refused to marry her...even after two OOPS babies }:)

* DH bought a house with me and refused to with her.

*I'm sure it pisses her off that CS (aka Gravy Train) is OVER now and her household is getting a big pay CUT while OURS is getting a raise!! Dirol
