We've noticed that SS2 and SD5 never seem to learn anything of value from BM. For example, we work on letters and sounds with SD5, and counting and the ABC's with SS2. When asking SD5 if she ever works on her letters or sounds with anyone else, she claims they never do and that we only do them at my house. However, SD5 knows all the words to songs like "Gives You Hell" and anything Lady Gaga ("let's have some fun this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick...").

DF still gets the bank statements for SS and SD's bank accounts. They set up an account for each of them when they were born, and DF's parents and grandparents put money in the accounts on their birthdays. Otherwise, the money just sits there. DF isn't sure how much total there was as SD just had a birthday...he remembers there being at least $500 in each account.

because he asked her why she didn't tell day care that SS2 was vomiting. I saw the text and it specifically said:

DF to BM: You should have let day care know that SS2 was sick. Poor kid felt bad because he threw up all over a bunch of toys.

BM to DF: Why the hell would he feel bad? And you can go f off!

We didn't have the skids all weekend, but had them last night - the first time since Mother's Day. We always ask the skids how their weekend was and they tell us all the things they did. Of course, SD5 tells us all about Mother's Day, which I expected to hear all about. I heard all about how Grandma (BM's mom) took them to the flower store and they bought all kinds of flowers for BM, etc, etc. We listened quietly and gave our polite "uh-huh's".
