Sometimes BM just hacks me off!

Most days I just roll with the punches of all the crazy shit BM does and says, and the stupid shit she puts SS5 through. We are going through a Motion to Modify Custody to clarify things that normal people should not have too. If it's not specifically word for word spelled out for her she refuses to follow it, and in some cases even if it is she wont follow, by twisting things around to make them fit her current mood. She changes personalities more times a day than freaking Paris Hilton changes clothes!

BM was "layed off" last November, conveniently after we received a large judgment against her for Attorney fees and such from some of the numerous court proceedings we have gone through. Funny thing is she also got wrote up 4 times in one week right before she was layed off. I think she just didn't want to work, because she thinks if she doesn't work then she wont get her check garnished for the judgment we have against her, and the other judgments she has against her.

You see BM got prego with her boyfriends baby. She only dated this guy for a month before getting pregnant, and he only stayed around for maybe a month after she got pregnant. BM had the baby last week, and I am fairly certain that she has no intentions of ever getting a job again. BM refused everything in the Motion to Modify, but counterclaimed for more child support stating that there had been significant changes in the parties income. IE. shes lazy and doesn't want to work so she is going to collect from her baby daddy's. We figured it up, and between what my SO already pays fro child support, what it could be raised to, and what her new baby daddy will likely have to pay for support, and all of her (poor me/handout/govt assistance), she will make just as much money, if not more, than she did when she was actually working!

I am all for Fathers supporting their children, but it just seems wrong to me when lazy BM's who think the world owes them, because they couldn't keep their legs closed, and they pop out a baby,work the system like BM does! UGH! It hacks me off! She is nothing more than a drain on society!

Since BM doesn't work she picks up SS5 from school until SO and I get off of work, then we have to hunt her a** down to find him and takes so much time out of the evening, that by the time we get home, and get dinner cooked, its usually bath time and we don't really get to spend a lot of time with SS5. She also has a habit of changing SS5 out of the nice (mostly name brand) clothes we put him in to go to school, and putting him in mismatched crap that I would never send him to school in. We lose all of our nice clothes because I am not going to send him to school wearing mismatched clothes that are out of season, or way to small, or way to big, or stained. Last night we get done with his soccer practice and instead of putting him back in the nice clothes that I sent him to school in, she put him in a long sleeve thermal shirt and silky red shorts (in 80 degree weather). SO asked her why she didn't put him back in the clothes we sent him in and her response was they are mine, I sent him in them. WTF?! Really? She had called him earlier in the day to remind him to bring back, this pair of brown shorts that she sent SS5 in (which barely covered his but cheeks) that were size 12mos, so her newborn could wear them this summer. We can't afford to keep buying him all these nice clothes for him to wear and her to keep. What are we supposed to do when we run out of decent clothes to put him in? SO plans on bringing this issue up when they go to mediation, but that is not until July. Ugh! She just irritates me so much sometimes!!

I am so irritated with all of her stupid crap! Why can't she just be normal? Is that really to much to ask for?

OH I almost forgot!!! BM just had her baby, right. Well, she never changed her last name back to her maiden name from my SO's last name. So when she had the baby you would think she would either give it her maiden name for its last name, or like in normal cases, it would have the baby daddy's last name. NO! She gave the baby my SO's last name! WTH??? Doe's the baby daddy not have any say in what his child is named? Cause I know he is not very happy about it. I know it is tradition that children take on their father's last name,but aren't there rights for the father as well?

I know this is long and probably jumbled but I just don't understand the things she does, and I get frustrated sometimes, and I need to vent. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated!

Unfortunately no, the baby's father doesn't have a leg to stand on. They were never married, therefore BM has sole physical and legal custody of that child and can do pretty much whatever she wants and name it whatever she wants. It's so messed up that immediately the mother's get all the rights and the father's have to prove to the courts that they're worthy to be a parent, bullsh*t! Some mothers don't know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to kids, but people think well they're the mother and mothers know best :sick:

Wow!! I've been looking at this site, cause I'm in the same boat as sooo many of you! It pisses me off that these lazy BM think they have their ex's by the balls cause they had a baby together! Grow up! Get a job!! I can't believe this "woman" would name her baby, from another man, after your man! Seriously?! And I have to give you props for not getting yourself arrested by beating this woman! For all she has put you thru, you should have been able to get a hit in! Geez!

I have to say that IF me and my husband were to get divorced, I would not change my name back to my maiden name. My "married" name is easier to say and spell, plus its just way "cooler". IF we divorced and I shacked up with someone else and ended up preggers, the kid would have the same last name as me. If Hubby and I had kid(s) together I would want all my children to have the same last name and the same last name as me. Does that make sense? I'm just saying, maybe it's not entirely about your husband, even if it seems that way.

I don't think BM will ever go to work again. Unless she stopped receiving child support for some reason. Then she would have to. Her Mom (really her moms longtime boyfriend, they were never married) bought her house and lets her live in it, bought her car, and pays for her cell phone. BM's sister says that she has nearly sucked them dry. Interesting fact, that is off topic ... BM's sister said that if SO is ever in the position to take her to court for full custody, she will do whatever she can to help.

It is sad really, like you said summerflowers. I wish for nothing but the best for my SS5, and I believe that's whats best for my SS5 is a happy mother, and a normal healthy relationship between both parents. All of the games she plays are unhealthy for him, he doesn't understand everything, but even as young as he is, he sees stuff. I would love to have a normal healthy relationship with SM, both SO and I would. I would love for her to be happy and have the things she wants, and be a productive person. But I don't know if that is ever going to happen. As much as I dislike her sometimes, I know that ss5 needs her, but I feel that he needs her to be there in a positive way and not necessarily in the way that she is now.

The reason that we have to track her down is because she always picks him up from school or daycare. You would think she would have to bring him back to us, or at least to daycare. But no she takes him wherever she wants and does whatever she wants until SO gets off and has to find her. One time, after he got out of Guard (hes in the military), BM took SS5 (3 at the time) 30 mins away to another town, and told SO that she was busy and he would have to drive there and come get him. Once we got a few minutes away he called BM for better directions, and she refused to answer her phone for 15 mins or so, then finally answered and said she was already back in our town, and had to stop at QT to get a pepsi, and she was going home ... to her house ... 20 mins in the opposite direction. So we drive to her house to get SS5 ... surprise she is not there! We sit in her driveway for 45mins waiting. SO trys to call BM, she doesn't answer at all. So 45 mins later she finally calls back and says shes home. LMAO. SO says really, well that's interesting because I'm sitting in your driveway and I don't see you. She gets pissed off and hangs up and ends up showing up about another 15mins later. Its ridiculous. EVERYTHING is a game to her!

lastchance ... it doesn't bother me that BM gave her new baby my SO's last name. I could really care less. I do understand why she would want herself and her kids to have the same last name. But that is just not the reality of the way things are. What happens when she gets married again ... if she does. Is she going to tell her son that hes named after he ex husband, who is not his father? Or is she going to get married and keep my SO's last name, and forgo her new husbands name? I don't think that would fly with her new man. She sure as hell will never change SS5's last name.

That baby, is her business, as well as his name. I was simply making a point that I didn't think it was fair to the baby, or the baby's father. And I think it goes to show her personality.

That is just my opinion.
