SD9 came home with a photo booth strip from an outing she went on with her BM. SD is clearly wearing makeup in the photos. This was just a normal trip to a local mall according to SD, it wasnt a special occasion where they got dressed up or something. And the lipstick was bright red. SD says that her mom lets her wear it out so she thinks it's ok. DH is pissed. I think its highly innapropriate for her age, especially the colors and going out in public. Dress up makeup at home is fine.

DH and BM barely knew eachother when she got pregnant and split when SD9 was 6mo. I met DH when SD was 1. DH are married and have a BS1. We have week on/off with a dinner visit on off weeks.

BM constantly tells SD how she misses her sooooo much when she's with DH to the point where SD thinks something bad is going to happen when she's not with BM and that BM is too sad when shes here.SD is in tears about this. BM also told DH that she wants to call SD everyday here because SD supposedly told BM that the misses her soooo much and needs to talk every night.

BM recently volunteered to be one of the people in charge of one of SD9 extracurricular activities that takes place once a week. DH has week/week custody of SD. So far things have gone downhill as we predicted. BM just can't let SD have anything on her own, we wanted SD in this activity to be around other kids her age, and develop peer relationships. SD now just climbs all over BM, holds her hand, sits on her lap, and all kinds of other toddler behavior.

Does anyone else's skid seem mad that you are a stay at home mom for an ours baby? We have SD 50/50 eow and DH and BM put SD9 in a mutual summer camp program. I stay home with BS8mo. SD has said the following "Why does BS get to stay home with Strp.life, why can't I stay home too?" And "BM said if she was Step.life she would let me stay home in the summer" and also "Why can't I stay home with Step.life, does she have to go shopping or something during the day" in a snarky tone.
