This was the start to the conversation SD7 had about me last night in front of DH and BIL. I really was astonished that after all that I have done for her and continue to do for her this is how I am treated.

SD6 has her ups and downs but for the most part she has been on a really good swing right now (but that is besides the point) - My mother is cleaning out her attic for her garage sale and since I have moved out of her home (3+ years ago), I went over and went through all of the stuff I had stored there.

SD6 has a little sister from BM who is almost a year. She is having a really hard time adjusting with it. Christmas was very hard (having to share the spotlight at BM's with a new sibling). And she has been acting out at school.

BM signed her up to meet with the school psychologist. SD feels that BM pays 'attention to the baby' and she isn't 'happy about it'. SD meets with this women whenever she wants.

DH and I planned to have a birthday party for SD this year - well low and behold the day we book it, BM asked DH 'aren't you going to be uncomfortable with her friends parents there?' - (meaning that its her father and step mother NOT bio-mom... ) - DH told her not at all.. and she has asked 4x since. We assume she was looking for an 'invite' to attend. You know apparently once you push a child out of your uterus, you should have the right to host every birthday party, whether you pay for it or not for that child... grrr...
