Vent (you have been warned!) Bloody BM!
Why is it that BM onyl ever does the minimum for SS10? As far as I can tell all she spends money on is food (though often phones begging for more money as there's none in the house apparently). SS comes over to us and is full of tales about not being allowed to watch TV, play with his Wii because she's on the sofa with the TV on all day - we know she all but ignores him when he's there because SS has told us & OH saw it when he lived there.
Today, she texts OH to say we need to get SS10 a halloween costume as she's not got the money or the time. WTF??? She lives in a 4 bed house where OH pays the mortgage & the electric, gets a couple of hundred pounds a week from the state as a single mum, plus gets a student loan. Nothing comes out of her money for SS10 - new clothes, school trips, after school clubs (so she can go to uni) are all paid for by OH.
No, instead she'll be out a couple of times a week drinking, will book tickets to expensive concerts for herself & then moan about not having any money!
As well as the latest demand for a costume, in the last week or so she's also told OH to pay for school photos, the new trainers he bought SS10 have now gone to school for gym class, so he's back in the old worn out ones & she booked a birthday party for SS10 then expected OH to pay for it!
This woman is just unbelievable - OH doesn't want SS10 to go without stuff, but I really think he needs to put his foot down and say "no".
What really winds me up though is the way she talks to him - there are no pleases, no thank yous, no do you mind, I'd be really grateful etc. She tells him 'you have to do this' - OH doesn't like confrontation or arguments, but he's going to have to stand up to her someday - he took 8 years of her walking all over him, and I'm struggling to respect a man who still allows himself to be.

wow, sounds like she's got a LOT of growing up to do. She lies around the house like a teenager, parties like she's a teenager, won't take responsibility, just like a teenager! She's getting plenty, she just needs to budget better - LIKE AN ADULT.
