so....this past weekend, a very close friend of the family was thrown a going away party. I attended with my ss7 and my dh was working. my dh didnt get out of work until 8:00 p.m. and showed up to the party shortly there after. The party was held at a local joint which is both a bar and restaurant. The party was in the restaurant section of the place. well, bm's ex bf was there ( we live in a very small town) and he decided to text bm and tell her that ss was there at a bar at 8:00 w/me and not my dh. Started trouble.(a@#hole) so she decides to text my hubby nonstop bitching about how ss isnt home and at a bar at 8:00 at night and she doesnt want him in my care anymore....blah, blah, blah. my husband explained that we were at a going away party and to relax and even threw in that shes never home. nothing helped so he just stopped texting her and ignored her. A few things irritate me with this. 1. she is NEVER home, she NEVER cooks for her son, NEVER puts him to bed at a decent hour. 2. she herself has been to this exact bar/restaurant with ss and we have not said a aword. 3. i was not drinking or anything just attending the party for a while. 4. it was family friendly. there were other kids there that my ss plays with on a regular basis and they were having a blast together. and lastly, i kept an eye on how busy both the bar and restaurant got and was going to head out with ss when it got too busy or late. In fact, on a saturday my ss was in bed and asleep before 9pm. She could probably never say the same, even on a weekday. My hubby worked a 13 hour day that day and was just looking to unwind, say goodbye to a dear friend and see his son for a bit. But the bitch had to interfere as usual... its like she has nothing better to do ever, but bitch about me and stir up trouble....ahh, always feels good to vent.
