BF's mother, brother, and two nephews came over today to hang out with us and the baby. MIL called BM's mother's house to talk to SS and see if he wanted to come with them because he hasn't seen his cousins literally in years. BM always says no when they try to get the kids together. SS ran down to his house to ask his Mom if he could go. Then, BM's mother called MIL back and said:

"I agree with BM, that SS should not go. She said that she will not give up her time with SS and that if you want to get SS it will have to be on BF's time. And by the way, BF has cost her over $2000 now." MIL responded, "What's going on between BF and BM is their business, not mine, and I just thought that SS would have a good time today. Thanks," and hung up.

Ugh whatever. You know it's really sad when someone is so caught up in her own drama and personal problems that she takes it out on her son. MIL brought up a good point too - if BM is so concerned with losing HER day with her son, then why is SS up at his grandparents' house? It's not going to kill the kid to hang out with his uncle and cousins for a few hours but of course that's unacceptable to BM.
