NSMR...but am I the @sshole here..its my mother
Ok...my parents live about an hour away from me out in the middle of BFE...I'm mean they live out in an area where they are surrounded by corn fields. They moved to this midwest state from the great city of Wind on the lake. When they moved there they wanted land...glorious land. I tried to tell them..yea living out in the boonies is fun for about 5 minutes...until you have to have your gas trucked in and drive 30+ minutes to get ANYTHING. I had BTDT while living in another corn filled midwestern state.

MOnEEEy....money money MonEEEY.....oh Beaver must need money
Ah nothing says hello weekend like a message from the Beaver. **insert eyeroll**
DH
I didn't get to claim GWR last because he aged out at 17. Therefore, I am claiming SD this year. You got the first year that GWR wasn't claimed and I get the second year, so this is my year.
Beaver
MMkkk...there Beaver.
DH's response
Please provide proof that you didn't claim GWR last since he was 17 and you were/are still receiving child support for him as a dependant.

A Beaver Chronicle...Christmas Edition..bonus starring The Village Idiot (my ex)
As part of my holiday Beaver update....Beaver asked the kids what they wanted for Christmas but didn't buy them any of that. Ok..I get sometimes money is tight..but why ask if your not going to get anything for them.
DH however was not suprised....Beaver is apparently nortorious for her crappy gift giving. I had to laugh as my ex..the Village Idiot is also the worst at gift giving.
Lets start with the Village Idiot...my gifts from him included..
Just funny and I think I bit my tongue in half
Beaver works in a hospital. Beaver I'm guessing will have to get the COVID vaccine. I asked SD if Beaver had gotten the vaccine yet. Nope....and Beaver doesn't want to get it because it makes people special needs.
Folks..it took all I had not to respond..
No worries there SD, your mother is already special needs. It won't harm her in the least.
Alas...my tongue has bite marks....
GWR also doesn't want to get the vaccine either....Darwin can kick in here at anytime for either or both of them.

Merry Christmas Eve..Happy Holidays.....
Hope everyone is having a good (or as good as can be) holiday season.
Congrats to justmakingthebest on her SS acutally getting on the plane. I would have bet my paycheck that kid didn't get on the plane. Christmas miracle I suppose.
Cheers to everyone else on surviving the next two days of stepdome. I'm sure most will deal with exchanges and psychotic BM's and their bbaaaaaabbbbbyyyyss.

Cause and effect..is it really that hard to understand...for my skids apparently
Ugh....my skids do not get the concept of cause and effect. Its not that hard..you do a...that causes b to happen.
This is especially true for grades and their Dad's attitude toward them.
DH is very big on getting decent grades..not all A's but A's and B's. He believes that is doable and if you need help we will help you or get you help.
I don't think this is an unreasonable request.
My skids cannot get that
Cause: do not do and/or turn in work
Effect: you receive failing grads for those assignments.
Cause: do not study for a test
Thanksgiving Dinner with a side of COVID
why yes..please....UGH NO...........
So we scheduled our Turkey day dinner for the friday after Thanksgiving.
1. SD wouldn't be at our house till 2 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Gotta love that split the holiday crap.
2. My kids would be at their dads that day. Their Dad is alone and they wanted to make dinner for him there. Ok..np...
3. Friday is my moms birthday. We would celebrate Turkey Day and her birthday.
Ah what is the saying..the Road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Yep...we are on the road to hell...

No can do there DH..no can do...ha
DH isn't perfect and honestly he really doesn't like dealing with the less than fun aspects of parenting. I mean who does....its not fun but a necessary evil. Dh would LOOOOVVEEE it if I would take over the crappy parts of parenting SD. Yea..no can do there DH...no can do. I raised my two..they are now almost fully functioning adults (DS still needs a JOB). They handle their own affairs, I'm just here to bank roll the college education and provide help if asked.

I like recycle/upcycle things...cause you know environment...that include Beaver's stuff
I'm a recycler/upcycler. I figure we don't need more stuff so I will typically use things until they fall apart or I buy stuff that can be used for mutiple things. This applies to holiday decorations.
This year for Halloween I bought all but one item from the local goodwill shop. I will keep them and use them again in another year's display. Its the same for Christmas decorations. This year I redecorated my summer wreath with fall stuff I had in the basement to make a fall wreath. I will then take that wreath and use it my dinning room for more decor.
