Gah! DH and I got on the topic of teeth and braces because he wants BD10 to have them and I'm not sure she needs them. SD HAD to have braces because she had two teeth out of alignment far back in her mouth where they couldn't even be seen. I am being facetious about the HAD, she wanted them and DH wanted her to have them.

DH and BM each agreed to pay half, although BM tried to back out of that later. So I bring up how much those damn braces cost and how that money could have been better spent in other ways, and DH starts talking about how SD's braces didn't cost us as much as I was saying (more than $2000 for our half). What?

DH says BM's husband's insurance "paid for most of it." If it did, those were DAMN expensive braces! I remember distinctly that DH took SD to the orthodontist once a month and at every visit he had to pay his "half," which was more than $100. This lasted for two years, so by my calculations that is 2500.

I hate it when he pulls this crap. You know the truth, don't try to change history.

Here is a braces funny for you: BM works for a dentist. Said dentist has offered to put FREE BRACES on both skids. (we now have primary custody). Because DH and skids don't want to deal with BM, they are refusing the free ortho.

I am so pissed! Oh so where is the money tree DH?? We have an extra $8000 grand sitting around for skids braces?

I could just CHOKE him.

My DH is a stubborn SOB at times. I can't do anything about it. They are his kids, not mine. Poor widdle skids don't wanna see BM anymore than they have to, so Daddy won't make them.

DH is justifying this foolishness with "BM's boss is NOT an orthodontist, he is JUST a DENTIST and I care about my kids teeth." Well great DH. I am sure the guy didn't just read a book on how stick brackets on teeth and decide he knew how to do braces. He is certified to to ortho as much as the next guy or he would lose all of his licenses. DH won't even go for a consult to see if said Dentist says the same things that the Orthodontist did.

I just wish DH and Skids could see past their hatred of BM and make the proper monetary decision. But who am I kidding. According to them, we we live in Disneyland and money DOES grow on trees. :sick:

There was an incident that happened with skids a few years ago. I remember it clearly, I was on maternity leave with BS4 (he was about 2 or 3 months old) During this incident I was sitting on the living room floor with BS watching Baby Einstein and playing with BS and his toys. This incident was the beginning of the end of my relationship with skids.

DH was bitching a while back about how I'm a jerk for not forgiving and forgetting this incident, because he thinks this is the one and ONLY reason I don't like skids, even though I have told him differently approximately 1,345,679 times. Then all of the sudden, he starts telling me why skids did what they did and how they were "justified" and just being kids and his story is so far out in left field!!! I was tired, had to get up early for work, came downstairs grumpy etc WTF? Where did he come up with this crap?? Again! I was on maternity leave, NOT tired, NOT going to work, NOT grumpy. WTF?

I swear my DH will do/say anything to absolve the skids of ANY inkling of wrongdoing. And IF he DOES admit they have done something horrendous, then of course it is ALL BMs fault or MY fault Sad
