Please tell me why we are paying over $35 a month for each kid's "free" cell phone?!
Every once in awhile, I open our Sprint bill to check out what extra "fees" and whatnot they are charging for, and pretend to monitor the data usage. (It's "unlimited", so that's why I say pretend.)
Apparently sticker sheets are more important than prescription meds??
Background story is, SD12 has had some sort of rash on her chest for a few months and it hasn't went away. BM insists that it's somehow our fault.
Ahh, a much needed (partial) break from being SD's taxi cab...
It's really the little things in life that keep me alive and off my rooftop with a shotgun.
For this past school year, minus when SD was participating in volleyball, I have had to get up, take SD11 to school, come back and pick up my DD, take her to school/daycare/therapy, go to work, sometimes come back home, than go pick up SD11 from school again.
SD's nastiness, random bs, and the great underwear saga continued
So, as most parents probably do, we randomly check the girl's media devices. We have also installed a Net Nanny program on their tablets/computer. Sadly, we learned over the weekend that it does not work on the YouTube app, and SD11 has been repeatedly watching what I would classify as porno with the privates bleeped out with black squares. She is only 11, and I am pretty devastated, as it also came out that BD9 was watching with her.
So, is ANYONE actually looking out for SD11's needs around here??!
This is an atypical post for me. Usually, I regard SD11 as a spoiled, entitled brat, which she still is a lot of the time, but I have noticed several things lately:
NOBODY puts money in her lunch account at school. It seems as though SO puts some in, then when it runs out,its like a standoff between him and BM to see which one will cave first. (Like, "I put some in her account, now it's your turn" type of thing) She has seriously been negative for about a month- I know because the school calls and emails twice a day.
This is gonna be a loooong school year
It's been less than one month, and SD11 earned her first detention of the year yesterday. The story that the school and SD11 has corroborated on is that SD11 was taunting and chasing another boy in the hallway, and that boy ran into another boy and both boys ended up getting hurt, so SD got detention. Pretty straightforward,right?

Entitled little brat BM
Sooo, BM has been claiming SD11 on her tax returns, even though A.) She has less than 50% custody and is not the CP, and B.) She works maybe one month out of the year on a good year.

I wish MIL would just butt out once in awhile
I know there is realistically nothing that I can do about this. I have tried to do what I can to keep her at an arm's length or more away from me at all times, but it seems she weasels her way into something every few days lately.
It wasn't bad enough that she was the head of the giant festering pimple of a conflict that went on for over 6 months regarding what school SD would go to and whose residence she would live in after starting middle school. (She and BM told SD she needed to "choose", although SO is already the CP and they have no say in that)

I would really like a punching bag right about now
I am trying to take deep breaths and calm down, but I have been on edge for days.
First of all, SO crashed an ATV this weekend. An ATV that did not belong to us, doing a stupid stunt, 4 hours away from home, hurt himself bad enough to need a hospital, and he has no health insurance. Not to mention that he is now not working because he has a badly sprained ankle and his job is in construction.

I am seriously considering running away from my own house
I don't want to be here. Apparently SO and I are SUCH rotten parents that both BM and MIL have taken it upon themselves to trash us, and involve SD in it whenever possible. They are trying to convince her to move out of our house and in with BM, and apparently will not let up.
I don't know what to do. Obviously we can't trash talk them, and we can't keep SD away from Toxic Grammy, and we can't forbid them to talk to one another. What are my options? Harrassment order? Mediator?
