Playing house & can't find a daddy for her kids?

Upset because the dog didn't cock his leg just the way she thought he should've when he peed?

Suffering because the macaroni & cheese is too stupid to fix itself & then get a fork & place itself in front of her mouth when she gets hungry.

Wow...I'd never really realized how stressful her days must be. Thanks for the insight Francesca!!!

My "BM" was rudely awakened by my DH yesterday. He called to remind her to take BS to therapy for his arm (she said: I knew there was something I was forgetting, can you just take him?) He said no. He was busy watching TV. So she got there late & took him. He has 2 appt. a wk for 4 months (worse case scenario) due to nerve damage from a broken arm.

My question is why isn't Thursday her "day" to get skids, if she's sleeping at 4pm on Thurs then BM you do have the time...

The one I deal with is:

1. Sleeping in while the kids get themselves ready and walk to school

2. Turn cartoons on for the baby

3. Watching TV

4. Taking a nap (because the doctor says she should sleep when the baby sleeps....the 'baby' is now 2 years old!)

5. Waiting for the older kids to get home so they can watch the baby while she goes to the store...for an hour or two...and buy groceries with her government supplied food stamps.

BM is plotting her next trip to puerto rico or Bahamas or cancun with FH CS money and or her BF money.

Figuring out why FH doesn't return her phone calls and will only communitcate in writing.

Thinking of how she can break us up so she can "get her life back the way it was before zen"! Meaning, using FH for money while giving him sex every month. Isn't that prostitution?!

Francesca - your post cracked me up!!

Don't even get me STARTED on this topic. Our BM works as some kind of nurse (LPN) at a nursing home 2-3 days/week MAX. My BF pays her $1,600/mo. in CS$$, which includes her measly $700/mo. rent (plus my BF provides FULL medical/dental insurance for skids, bought BM a brand new car when they divorced because "she needed it to drive skids around", paid her car ins. for years, etc... - you get the picture). We share 50/50 true joint legal & physical custody with BM and I often wonder what the hell she does with all of her free time?!?!

What makes it worse, is that she lives very close to us and we have to drive by her house in a normal course of a day - her car is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS in the driveway!!! Meanwhile, my BF & I are ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS working!!!!

The whole CS $$$ system is so ridiculously archaic & flawed & needs a MAJOR OVERHAUL!!!

Shouldn't a BM that is HEALTHY enough to work be LEGALLY REQUIRED to work FULL-TIME and be OBLIGATED TO SUPPORT HER KIDS (at least 50%)?!?!?

Nope! Our BM loves to sit on the couch, eat, and troll different websites (including dating sites) ALL.DAY.LONG. When we have skids 4 days/week living with us, why isn't she WORKING??????

Lol you girls are funny. I like the hubby being too busy watching tv! My BM does the foodstamp and facebook thing too... Right now though... She's probably freaking out about having to see me at the school today, while someone else watches her kids of course!
