When dealing with BM, everything seems to ALWAYS be SOOOOOOOOO complicated...AGH!!
On Thursday (last week) BM sent an EOB that we've been waiting for in order to finish compiling the medical expense report for SS who lives with us so that we can compare what was spent on SS and SD (who live with BM) and see who owes what to whom. Anyway, we did not respond to the receipt of this email so BM resent it on Sunday because she "was not sure your received it". Okay....because we've been through this before, we usually send "EMAIL RECEIVED" in response to anything we get from BM that either does not need a response or when BM is trying to pick a fight and we don't feel like responding to her ridiculous attempt at baiting us.
So, DH had me respond with "we haven't gotten to the paperwork yet but when we do, we will let you know". Simple, right??? WRONG!!!!!
In less than 10 minutes we get an email from BM on a different subject....she'd been looking through old paperwork from 2 years ago and is questioning a "substantial increase" in DH's pay in order to change child support. BM wants 3 MONTHS worth of paystubs, because 2 years ago we offered to supply recent paystubs if there was a question of "substantial increase" in DH's pay, but 3 MONTHS WORTH???? We know that she only wants this many paystubs so she can see if DH has been working any overtime. Support was adjusted last year after SS moved in with us but she believes that it's still not up to date.
Within 5 minutes of receiving the email about support, we got a nasty email from BM reaming us for not responding to her Thursday email sooner.....YES, MOMMY DEAREST
So, we respond and ask her why she is trying to pick a fight with us and let her know that "we haven't received anything from her for awhile and it's been nice not to have her trying to pick a fight with us....let's keep it that way"
Plus we let her know we will send ONE and only ONE paystub to prove what DH is making....PERIOD!! Also let her know that the amount of insurance premium that DH pays for SK's has gone up AGAIN this year and that if she's thinking of having the support modified that it might actually go down so she may want to reconsider.
We got a response back from BM...more lecturing, blah, blah, blah :sick: plus she still expects us to send her 3 months worth of paystubs...Think again, BITCH!!

On Monday, we sent an updated Medical Expense Report for SS that lives with us and let her know the balance left and who owes it...us of course, but then again we don't suffer from Munchausen's.....we got no response from her. That's fine, but it just shows how petty she is....trying to make a point by not responding to us because we had failed to respond to her....poor baby
On Thursday, SS had to go to ENT DR for checkup so we sent another email that evening to BM to update her on SS's Doctor visit. Again....no response.
On this same evening we also sent the ONE PAYSTUB with the formula and breakdown of child support.....not that she'll take our word for it but it's there if she wants it.....AGAIN...NO RESPONSE!!!
I'm beginning to like this pattern
Here's where the shoe comes in (see title of blog)...
SS wrote BM another letter telling her exactly how he feels about her behavior and attitude toward him after he received a nasty email from BM a little over a week before that. In his return letter, he even told BM that she was being childish in her email. BM always wants him to speak his mind but doesn't like it when he tells the truth!!!
This particular letter from SS to BM was mailed on Monday and she should have received it by Tuesday or Wednesday.....and SS (nor us) has not heard a word from BM!!!!! Makes me wonder why????
We have other SS and SD here for the weekend and we will pick them up tonight. In fact it's been a month since we saw them because two weeks ago, DH was sick with the flu so we didn't get them.
I'm afraid we'll be in for a ROUGH weekend with SK's because these two side with BM at every turn and see nothing wrong with her behavior...in fact, they usually pick on their brother (SS who lives with us) because he did something to make BM upset.....SK's are afraid of BM but likes that she "bribes" them and they are TOTALLY BRAINWASHED!!!
GOD HELP US ALL THIS WEEKEND!!!!
We're having family in for BS's B-day party this weekend.
I hope I'm wrong, but experience tells me I may not be too far off and we're gonna have a weekend of BS to deal with
