BM told SD5 she could open her presents at our house last night - of course without asking us!
SD5 is going to her bio dad's for Christmas. This is her first time going with him for the holiday, and will be the first time she hasn't spent Christmas (which is a huge celebration) with my fiance's family about 3 hours away.
SD is really sad that she won't be spending Christmas with us and with her brother. But...this was sort of expected as her bio dad has become more involved in her life and it is truly how things should have always been.
Last night we had the skids and the first thing SD says is, "YAY! I get to open up ALL of my presents tonight!"
I said, "Why would you think that? It's not Christmas yet!"
SD said, "Because Mommy said that I could open up presents at your house tonight."
--- Uhhh, thanks BM for volunteering? What if we don't even have all our presents bought/wrapped yet?
I told SD that Mommy never asked us about this and that is something that me and DF need to decide. She started panicking because "Mommy said" and she then said, "MOMMY ALWAYS LIES! WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS LIE TO ME?"
Poor kid.
So I talked to DF to confirm that he didn't tell BM that, and nope -- he didn't. He was pretty PO'd also about this. Where does she get off deciding what goes on at our house? We would probably have let the skids open ONE present, but this made us both mad and I know it might sound petty, but we told her she'll have to wait until after Christmas.

WOW just wow. Poor kid! If
WOW just wow. Poor kid! If she keeps that up all she is going to get is for her kid to think of her as less then mom and not respect her. If you think about it what she is doing is just hurting herself with her dd.
at least she sees that it is
at least she sees that it is BM that lies, some never realize this.
What nerve of your BM
What nerve of your BM especially knowing that there are other kids in your household! How dare she tell SD something like that without checking with you guys first!
It's sad for your SD to have to realize that her mom is full of it, but at least she knows that it's not you guys being jerks.
Our BM actually told SD that she would be getting presents on my DD's birthday so, of course, SD was upset when she didn't get any presents. Who does that?
Some women should not reproduce. I know that's mean, but it's true.
So true...some people in
So true...some people in general should not produce! BM always plays the victim that she got pregnant so young (18) but really, she could just suck it up, figure out how to parent effectively instead of using that as a crutch and hurting her kids in the process.
