So, we had our monthly two hour supervised vistit (at the court house) with the younger two's BM right before school started. Well, she had insisted the visit before that she wnated to buy the kids shoes for school. Mind you, she claimed the last time we were in court 3 years ago can only work 5 hours a week b/c of the stress we've put her through and only pays $110/month for TWO KIDS!! (The other BM pays nothing.) Anyway, that's here nor there. So, two visits ago she keeps asking the kids what size shoes they were, they are kids they don't have a clue, so after about 10 minutes of her asking them, I FINALLY told her. I guess she thought I was trying to make her look stupid by telling her the wrong size because...
at the last visit she brings the shoes. She gives the 8 yr old boy velcro shoes. He has gym everyday at school and those shoes won't stay on his feet, which she'd know if she was half the mom she's supposed to be. So we were gonna have to return those. THEN, omg this is so funny, she brings out TWO pair of shoes for the 13 year old girl. BOTH are two small (UM, I told you the right size and even suggested getting a 1/2 size or full size bigger so they would last). WAIT FOR IT......one of the new shoes has PINK KITTENS on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg, I'm laughing right now just thinking about them. I almost lost it in the waiting room.
THEN she had the balls to tell DH that she wants us to replace BOTH pairs of shoes she gave the daughter with the EXACT same shoes and she's even called around to find out who had them, we would have had to go to like 3 different stores. THEN tells us the right size cost FORTY dollars more b/c they are a woman's size instead of a kids size. DH tells her that he'll let daughter get whatever she wants, but BM says it to us about 4 times that we need to replace them with the exact same shoes, we didn't. I'm not exactly looking forward to going to the visit this Friday b/c I know she'll ask the kids why they don't have on her shoes, whatever, grow up, kids never want anything they don't pick out themselves, but she wouldn't know that b/c she hasn't seen the kids in anymore than these supervised visits for 3 years now, so she has NO clue what kids like or don't like.
Anyway, I just thought that was a funny story that I didn't tell anyone yet and thought a few of you might get a kick out of it!!
Have fun with that one!
