SS13 Came Downstairs asking what "Vain" means. . . Can't make this stuff up

step off already's picture

SS has "vain" as a vocabulary word this week. He comes downstairs asking what it is. And I said, "you know how we had to move the mirror our of our room and put it in your room because you kept coming in to stare at yourself in the mirror? Well, that describes someone who's vain."

SS says he doesn't get it. DS10 and DS9 are laughing as they have extensive vocabularies and they know what it means.

DH says, "you are vain. when you keep staring at yourself, that means you're vain."

Irks me! It shouldn't. But it does.

Dd12 is going to a concert tonight with her friend and the mom. I arrive at school to pick up all the kids and inform dd that she's going to her friend's house and give her an overnight bag. When we get in the car, ss13 is extrely concerned about dd - "do we have to go get her? ... What? she's not coming home? What's she doing?"

I let him and my two boys know that dd was doing girl stuff with her BFF.

Ss then asks if HE can invite his friend over for a special night. Dh says no. I say "if you get invited somewhere, we can certainly talk about it".

So BM Also has a Lexus

This is the woman who told the judge she ou works 5 hours a week so she can not possibly pay child support and she should actually get spousal support instead. Judge didn't buy it and ordered no support to no one.
Here we are one year later.

First bm picks up SS13 in her new Chevy Malibu (with the $2000 Bugatti rims that she made sure to brag to him about) and tonight at the exchange she is in a Lexus. Ss13 says she's had that car for a while and that a friend gave it to her when they left the state.
My questions:

Do all Men Want their New Wives to be Mommy?

BAckground:

My youngest DS9 has been a bit pissy lately. Sometimes he says he's jealous of the baby, sometimes he says it not fair that XYZ. The truth is that he has always been my strongest willed child and is quite the manipulator. He'd been so good for so long that I nearly forgot the HOURS And HOURS that I had to spend disciplining that boy when he was between 3- 5.

What's Your Advice on a Trust for SS13?

step off already's picture

SS13's Maternal GP died a long time ago as did the Great Maternal GP. The estate(s) is/are now just getting finalized due to the drug addicted people in the picture aka BM's family.

The family would like to leave money in a trust for SS13 for when he turns 25. They are not giving anything to BM. They are talking about $15K but it sounds like there may be more - everyone is being very dramatic and sly since the initial family member that was the executor was stealing from the estate - or something.

But I'll Ruin My Perfect Attendance Award

SS13 is sick today. DH is having him stay home. The only thing SS has to say is that it'll ruin his perfect attendance award.

I wrote a blog about this last year where BM was encouraging him to get the perfect attendance award because she got that when she was in school.

DH responded, "how about you focus on getting better grades, not just showing up. There's more to life than showing up, it's what you do when you get there that matters. Now get up in your room and go to sleep or read a book!"

Score for DH.

$30 Beanies, $20 Socks, $1K Rims....but no job and can't help with school

BM claims she has no job. She also buys SS crap all the time and likes to make sure he knows how much things cost, however she won't pitch in for his schooling or even fill out financial aid forms for him to attend private HS.

So, since she's not willing to help him get into the private HS he'd like to attend, she's been encouraging him to join the service instead. Now, i'm all for people joining the service. My exh became a Marine after HS and it truly straightened him up, he got to see the world, have many adventures and serve his country.

Filed another police report agains bm

This time SHEs the one who couldn't help herself. It was time for her court ordered call with SS. She never actually calls but will text dh instead.

Tonight, she sent about 5 texts:

Where's ss?
Where's ss?
What's the matter yo at Boy Scouts?
Where's our son?
Have as call me.

I just submitted another online police report for her breaking the restraining order noting dh would like to press charges. We just got notified that the one we submitted mon night was approved.

I know I shouldn't, but sometimes I can't help myself

Bum texted dh tonight (disregarding her RO) saying "SS13 has a test - Boy Scout". It was meant to be a dig since we were all at the school for my two boys' scout meeting. SS and dd we're studying in the lobby since the local library was closed for the holiday. As had his court ordered call during the time so he must have told her what was going on.

Interesting how SS13 Gives up in school right after BM tells him she doesn't care about private school

We had a long talk with SS13 last night. We explained to him that his actions over the last few weeks in choosing not to do his school work pretty much guarantee that we aren't going to be going out of our way to get him into a private high school.
