Odd..or is it just me?

Does anyone else find it odd for an ex wife to babysit her ex husband's girlfriend's children? I was out with a few friend's tonight a discussion arose about a friend of friend who couldn't come out because she was babysitting her ex's gf's kids, and first thought that came to head (but did not emerge out as hatred of my step kids is taboo) 'Way to make the rest of the ex wives and step moms club look bad". Must be nice to have such a harmonious extended blended family (please note overflowing sarcasm). I cannot fathom a future where I would ever babysit my ex husband's step daughter.

Ungrateful

I am beginning to feel less guilty that I am not going to purchase anything for my skids this year. My DH has decided he isn't giving them any gifts this year and we will be setting them up a savings account that we will be contributing to on birthdays and Christmas and any other occasion. It will be marginally less than what we contribute to my son's savings account for obvious reasons. He feels he pays enough to BM for CS and her car loan (over $1000/month in total).

Christmas Gifts

Seeing that we now know where my DH children live I was discussing Christmas with him last night. We budget for everything since my DH still pays for BM car payment and Loan payment. (Long story) In the past we would buy the step kids clothes and books. My DH wants the gifts to be personable and refuses to send gift cards. This past birthday and Christmas when we were not able to see them we mailed them the gifts. The birthday clothes we sent were returned to the store as I noticed a refund on my visa.

My morning run just got stranger

I have lived in my home for 7 years this past summer. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning I go for a outdoor run through my neighborhood. My husband moved in 1 year ago, approximately 2 months before we married. He and his ex wife have two children together and I have a son from a previous relationship. Since we married his ex wife has cut communication off between the children and him. O My son and I are well known in our little community and our neighborhood; the locals have all seen my son grow/ I use the same route as I have for the past 5 years for my morning run.
