I suppose this is minor but it just really gets me....
Awhile back BM (or as I refer to her, the Sloth) emailed me through facebook about the kids (SS5 and SS8). What started out as a somewhat civil exchange about clothes. etc. quickly devolved into ridiculousness and her saying that she didn't want me emailing her anymore. Fine, I never wanted anything to do with her anyway. Problem is, she keeps popping up in facebook as a "people you might know." Well, for chuckles I decided to click and see how much information she had public. Don't know why, but I'm a nosy sort and I figure her presence intrudes on my life enough as it is. Well, some people have "meaningful quotes" on their pages and on hers, apparently that's all that's public to non-friends. Well, there was pretty much what I would expect - "what goes around comes around" (I can only hope she gets to experience the hell she's putting her kids through) "no, you're not always right and everyone else isn't always wrong" (clearly directed at FDH) and "I know the devil and now he has a cheerleader." Ha! I'm a cheerleader! Awesome, I never made the cut in high school.
Why does it bother me that she's psycho bitch who can't even respect the fact that I'm parenting her children more than she ever has? I know I need to have a thicker skin, but dammit. I do everything for those kids and put up with the constant intrusions of her psychotic behavior in the life I'm trying to create with my future husband. She's a lazy, useless, entitled bitch who hated her husband but has no problems continuing to live off of him. Yep, between maintenance and child support she makes more than I do to sit on her crazy ass. I really, really hate her. The five year old hates to leave mom, not because he doesn't like it with us but because he knows she has nothing else outside of him and his brother and he wants to take care of her. Seriously, stop f-ing up your kids because you don't have a life of your own. The eight year old always goes to play with his friends because mom never does anything with them anyway. She's always "resting" while they sit and play video games all day. Here, they take swimming lessons and piano, play soccer, have structure and routine and two "parents" who interact with them. The kids are wonderful, smart, funny little boys who deserve so much better than what they're getting from her.
As much as I hate her, I didn't at first, and regardless, I have always been nothing but polite and civil. But, she hates her ex-husband so much that she can't get past it and do what's best for her kids. I really hope someone gets me a voodoo doll for Christmas.

Dont
Dont EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR let her know you saw those things and dont EVERRRRRRRRRR let her know they pissed you off. It was her goal in writing those things to make you angry and mission accomplished! My recommendation, disengage. Your anger for bm will at least be bearable. However, it seems you actually enjoy these kids so, I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not planning on saying
I'm not planning on saying anything and I discouraged FDH from saying anything as well. My original thought is, no wonder she can't get a job. Doesn't the dumb bitch know employers troll facebook to see what prospective employees have public? This obviously makes her sound like someone who's got some serious issues.
I thought it might be kind of fun to mess with her a bit - say next time we're in a parent/teacher conference. If the teacher asks me a question, just say "that's the bio parents department, I'm really more of a cheerleader, just here for support" and look at her and smile.
I am still going to take the boys to get a Christmas present for the useless piece of trash because she is their mother, they love her and they should be able to give her a Christmas present. Plus it will really piss her off because she'll have to love it since it's from her children, but I'm sure they'll tell her very excitedly, "A took us to get it for you and helped us pick it out." I'm sure I'll be able to hear the growl all the way over at our house (which is only a quarter mile away, but that's a different issue....).
Disengaging, while appealing, isn't really an option overall because of the boys. Their mother is at best a babysitter. But, I have let FDH know that I am going to participate less in the crap that involves her. He married her, he can deal with her craziness.
