Hear that sucking sound? It's Loca Grande...
... trying to suck me back in. Three text messages from her today, after Loghead told her not to contact me. Two I can ignore, but the third is bugging the crap out of me.
She left me a message back in December, after Loghead had told her not to call, telling me she needed us to make decisions about Christmas 2010 because she wants to take the kids on a vacation holiday. I listened to it, was pissed by it, but ignored it.
She called about a week later, again at this point Loghead had told her to leave me out of stuff, and left another message. She needed an answer by March 1st so they could make their reservations. That messages said she was really just asking about the boys, but since Princess would be in college by then, Princess could make her own decisions. Again, I listened to it, was pissed by it, but ignored it.
She sent a text today. She needs to know if Lazy Boye can go so she can get paper work in order- She says they are going to out of the country. She says she already has a passport for Princess. I'm guessing since she washed her hands of PITA last month that she isn't planning to take him?
So I haven't even told Loghead about any of this. I've disengaged, she's not supposed to call me; she's supposed to contact him with any visitation stuff. But this one does affect me. If she takes them, it messes up our holiday because she would need them during our time at Christmas. It's kinda hard to schedule anything as of yet, because we don't even know their school schedule for next year, Princess will be in college and wouldn't that suck if she patched things up with PITA but hadn't made arrangements for him- not that he could really go because he plays Varsity Basketball...
I don't even want this woman driving across the state with the kids, let alone leaving the country with them. She can barely pay for gas to come visit the kids, so how the heck does she plan to have money for her, her husband, and 2 of the 3 skids to go out of the country. And not even a safe country! Like, she is wanting to take them to the same country my uncle went to 2 years ago and was mugged.
I so don't want to be drawn in by this, but when my holiday is messed up, that messes up things for my son. So she and her hubby want to go, why the heck do the have to take the skids? Over Christmas?

Tired Stepmom, IGNORE her
Tired Stepmom, IGNORE her text messages - AGAIN. I know it's hard, but she's trying to put you SMACK in the middle of yet another self-created drama/controversy and it's totally unnecessary. She is trying to manipulate you. Don't let her.
BTW - we're talking about Christmas 2010, as in 10 MONTHS FROM NOW, right?? Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous and she is just being selfish - because all she cares about right now is HER plans for HER Christmas, not yours.
You are under absolutely NO OBLIGATION to make her life easier by helping her "plan" her next Christmas vacation! Let her figure it out. Not your problem.
I say all of the above ASSUMING that your BM has been uncooperative with you & DH in the past...and could really give two shits whether or not you fall off the face of the planet tomorrow, just so long as HER life isn't interrupted.
If, however, you have the rare good relationship with your BM that is an HONEST two-way street, you can try to help her out. Either way, NOT your problem, though. Let DH handle her.
BTW - why is she texting you to begin with? I've been with BF for 6 years now and the only communication we allow with our BM is email to BF, or the occasional call to BF's cell phone only - NOT MINE...EVER!! Our BM is a drama queen, nutjob that has taken advantage of us in the past, so we had no choice but to set up boundaries like this - FYI. It keeps her "in check" because she'll NEVER put in WRITING the venom that she freely used to spew at BF over the phone in the past that it wasn't possible to save (except for the occasional psycho voicemails, which OF COURSE, we saved).
