August 26th was my SD's 3rd birthday party (I know it was a few months ago but i'm new to Steptalk and need to vent this one lol). My husband and I had been planning this party for months. A bout a month before the party BM asks us if her and her family could come to OUR party because she couldn't afford to throw one, at first we said no because she is always such a bitch but she made us feel sorry for her and we thought it might be fair for my SD to have everyone at her party...so we change our minds and tell her she can come. She asks if she can bring her new BF and we say no because she has a new boyfriend every other week and this new guy shouldn't be there. She gets pissed off and says she will throw her own party. We say GO AHEAD! Then the very next week she calls my husband and whines to him about how broke she is and she just wants to come to the party without the BF so he says that's fine. The night before my SD's party BM calls and says she can't make it to the party because she has a flat tire...she says the only way she could make it is if her BF brings her, and asks if thats ok. We told her he could come if he was her ONLY ride (we live an hour away from BM). The next morning she calls and says she cant come because her BF's dosen't have current tags on his vehicle and doesn't want to get caught. This upsets my SD very much because she thought BM was coming to her party...BM calls ten minutes later and says her dad can drive her to the party since he was invited anyways. Then she shows up WITH the BF we told her could come ONLY if he was her ride, so we had to bite our tounges on that one....

Time for opening presents comes and BM didn't get her anything...so she asked us to write her namme on some of the presents we got for my SD. We said no...it's not our fault she spent her money on beer and cigarettes instead of her daughter. Then she asks if she can help my SD cut the birthday cake that WE got her...I guess I just didn't want to look like a bitch so I agreed. Later we suprised my SD with the power wheels we got her and her BM CRIES!!!!! because she wasn't included in the suprise...I was so PISSED. Why would we let BM suprise our daughter with a big gift that we worked hard to buy for her!?!? BM was crying and making a scene at my SD's birthday party....uggghhh and then when she left she didn't even thank us for inviting her!! What a bitch....never doing anything nice for her again!!
