Driveway chronicles.

It doesn't happen often and even when I'm not home it annoys me. 

BM took SD to get her nails done today for school starting. We are up to 6 hours for the year she's spent with BM! Nails and home ..per her norm. Didn't ask to get her anything for school! Yahoo!! Haha.

Anways....

Since BM plans zero things with her kids she uses our driveway as a chit chat zone. I looked on the cameras and she was in the driveway from 4:09-4:19. Talking to SS17. I literally missed her by less then a minute of me coming home. SO isn't home either. I feel like this happnens only when we are not home and she just boundary stomps. Specifically me.. she would do it with SO being home I'm pretty sure.

This just really irks me  Every. Single. Time. I can't help it.

SS17 starts his school on the 12th so my guess that was what their convo was about. 

She has a habit too of pulling too far in our driveway so it's out of camera view. Pretty sure she does this on purpose because she knows we have cameras after the strolling into our house incident. 

I wish I was home when she pulled it.. naturally would have walked outside and started watering the plants our something lol. 

Ugh. Small vent. Little things still annoy me.

I'm going to say this in the nicest way possible... Stop caring about what she does and looking at the videos. It's obsessive and it's not doing you any good. A quick review is fine but don't try to surmise what they say or read their lips. Who cares about the deadbeat, you'll find out everything you need to know from SD.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't have cameras you absolutely should but reviewing the tapes and then getting yourself all worked up because BM was talking to SD for 10 minutes is not the best use of your time.

I get it though, she could be doing anything at all and you'd be thinking "this B..."

I don't sit and watch the cameras for the entire length of time. I just see how long she's out our house for when we are not home..

BM literally came in to our house when we weren't home and I don't trust the b to do honest. I don't care what they talk about. 

 Also... there is no reason for BM to be talking to her adult, and basically adult kids in my driveway. They both have vehicles they can meet her wherever if she wants to know her kids.

Our homes should be a sanctuary from step drama and reminders of Said drama.  I get it OP.  BM should only be in the driveway just enough to not get hit and only for drop off/pick ups.  That's it.  Your's got them memo and chucked it in the garbage.   After I called the cops on my BM she knew better.   Glad those days are over.

Exactly. SD will be driving in little over a year so we are close to her becoming even more non existent in our lives. SD is the youngest of the 3. 

It's not like she is at our house often but I don't want to see BM hanging in my driveway.. especially if there is potential for me to be pulling in at the same time.

I understand why you are worried about her being around your house, because she once tried to walk in without being invited. My skids BM is like that. She will crane her neck around to try to read our mail when she is at the door. She tried to walk in our house once and I blocked her way and stared at her. She hasn't tried to do that again. 

If she were blocking my driveway and I had to look at her ugly mug when I came home, I would park behind her, I would block her in and pretend she didn't exist. Then when she came to the door to ask me to move my car, I'd say "Oh! Are you STILL here? Sure, ok."   Just to annoy her and keep her little "dominance play" as impotent as possible. Give em an inch, they take a mile, right?  ha ha.

She didn't try to walk in... she went in. Our dog was dying (SOs before he met me but never with BM)  and she came to the house to pick SD up and literally went in..closed the door. SO and I were both at work.

SO called her out on it. She started crying... used our dying as an excuse "I just wanted to see the dying doooggggg." Yeah... nice try.

Some people have incredibly poor boundaries.  Hanging out in a driveway of a house she doesn't own, wtf.  She should be ashamed of herself for walking in.

Satan craned her neck around to see as much of our house as possible through the door, and finally had a meltdown on our porch, screaming her head off and sticking her foot in the door when we tried to close it.  So we sent her a trespass warning letter by certified mail, and sent a copy to our local PD.

Ours gave BM permission to be on our driveway only for the sole purpose of exchanging Killjoy, on scheduled custody days, and she was forbidden from getting out of her car.

You don't even really need a reason.  It's your property.
