but ran out of money!

I am sorry but I think this is so funny. BM got this great new job last year. Shortly after that she started buying the sKids things like there was no tomorrow, basically whatever they wanted, whatever made them happy. It got so bad that SS7 asked me months ago if he was good the last time we had them, I told him yes, then he asked what I was going to buy him for being good. I laughed and told him 'nothing' but warned him that if he wasn't good he would be punished. They started showing up in name brand clothes and had new coats, shoes, ect off and on during the school year. Any time one got something so did the other.

But recently I notice that it had stopped. There clothes appear used, SS7 brought and VHS tape to our house that had a good will sticker on it. BM hasn't gotten school supplies yet, were as last year she went out the day the store put it out and bought EVERYTHING. Then told FDH not to worry about it (we went out and bought half any way and gave it to her just for show). We dropped SS7 off a few weeks ago and he went in the house and then came back out and asked her in front of FDH where his present was, she told him she didn't get him anything this time.

Well yesterday SS7 was asking me questions about my cats. They recently got a cat at BM's house and it has been 'sick' according to SS7. Well one of my cats had a hair ball and he freaked out that they were sick too. I explained that hair balls were normal and they had medicine for it. I went and got it and showed him how to give it to them, then he asked if he could have the bottle to take him his mom's. I told him that this was for our cats here and they sell it at the store, he said that BM didn't have any money. I left it at that but kind of felt bad for the new Cat. It angers me that she got one just because we have one and sKids really like them, but she doesn't take care of it by the sounds of it.

After FDH got home SS7 was telling him that they need to go buy meds for his cat at Bm's. FDH went in to pull lecture mode and more or less told him that it wasn't our responsibility to take care of BM's cat. He also wanted tot take toys over there but FDH told him no, those are our cats toys and they do play with them. When SS7 told FDH the same thing he told me, that BM didn't have any money he actually have the nerve to ask why SS7 thought that.

He asked if BM had told him that, SS7 explained that BM didn't tell him but she used to make deals with him at the beginning of the week to get him stuff but she doesn't any more. She doesn't buy him much any more. We don't know if SS7 knows it yet or not but BM has put Chubby Hubby's camper up for sale. Point is he has notice all by himself that something has changed.

Meanwhile we just got a brand new truck But we live within our means, FDH has said when he was married to BM they never had any money and he never knew why. I added it up for him once. The eat out a lot that is expensive, she buys the kids a ton of toys, last year I cleared out a ton of useless junk BM left behind, that I am sure he paid for. To prove my point they had an old computer when I moved in and we moved it to the basement (because my was better) BM had to him that a friend of hers built it and GAVE it to them for the kids to use. It was a DELL and at xmas my brother produced one JUST like it and we pieced the two together to make one better machine for the kids to beat up on. I told FDH yeah I am willing to bet you bought that too.
