It was popular during the 80s and featured two straight single mothers who decided to live together for financial purposes. Anyways, that's what my marriage feels like. We are two single parents living together. My husband is like a roommate. At this point, I'm not even sad or disappointed about it.

A few weeks ago, oldest SD mentioned that she wanted to have a pool party for her birthday at the end of June (we have a pool). She said at the time that her mom would want to come b/c her mom is a lifeguard and she would want to ensure that all the kids were safe. DH pointed out that both he and I also used to be lifeguards and that everyone swimming would be just fine. Later he said no way in hell did he want BM there. I said it was a tough call, because I am also a BM and I would want to be at my kids' parties.

Yep. Another example if how sd is singlehandedly ruining my life... Last night we put the younger kids down and dh let oldest sd stay up until 11. At 11 he tells her lights out. Her room is next to ours. Dh and I pass right out - it was a long day in the hot sun.... 11:30 we are bolted awake by the sound of her door and then she puts her light on. Dh goes back to sleep but I go in there and ask her to please turn her light out. She looks at me like I have three heads... But says she will. She was drawing by the way.

I've been with my husband for 4 years now so I really need to stop being blown away by BM's laziness at this point, but I am also a bio-mom so I know what "normal" moms do and I just can't get over this bitch.

Last night's example: it is HER night with HER kids. DH picks up my SS and brings him to soccer practice. After dropping him off with BM, he then takes oldest SD to Staples to buy supplies for a school project. Ummmmmmmmmmmm..... BM couldn't take her while DH and SS were gone for 2 hours?!?!!?
