Last night we had some really bad storms in our area. Tornado warnings for our county and surrounding counties, etc, and I DO NOT do storms, so we decided when it first started raining we would go to my sisters house because she has a basement, if we needed to "hide" we could. I won't lie, I was in full freaking out mode, as were SD8 and SD6.

So we get to my sisters house, she lives literally two minutes from me. We took SD8's homework with us so she could work on it while we were there. So I go over to check on her work and pick up her school planner and she looks up at me and says "My momma said to tell you she doesn't want you signing my planner anymore." Well before I could stop myself I said "Well I really dont give a good god dang (I did say dang) what your momma wants and you can tell her I said so!" Now I try to not say anything bad about BM in front of them, but I was so mad and it just kinda rolled out before I could stop myself. SD8 didnt care, she just went back to her work. lol

So then I tell DH about it. He just shakes his head. I asked him if BM had said anything to him about it. He says no. I told him he probably wouldnt tell me if she did, he says well, why would I want to piss you off. I said because you are supposed to be getting more open/honest w/me about things w/her and setting boundaries and this is part of it. He agreed.

I then went and signed SD8 and SD6 planners in black sharpie big as day. I told him that if she didnt want me signing it then her live in BF didnt need to be signing it either. I'm their stepmother and if I help w/the HW and listen to her read, then I'm signing the planner. End of story.

The whole sharpie thing may have been sorta childish on my end, but I refuse to let this woman tell me what I can and cant do in MY HOUSE.
