The BM is ‘in my house’ every night!

SD9 has been visiting for 2½ months and talks to BM every night on Skype. DH brings his laptop in from the office every night and sets it up in ‘the sun room’, with an open view of the lounge and kitchen (entire living area). I got so sick of listening to BM’s voice every night and basically having her in my house, (she even commented on DH’s weight once: saying to SD to tell him to do some exercise) that I’ve started taking my DD2 and going to the bedroom when ‘The Skyping’ starts.

Hi, this is my 1st post (and it’s quite long – sorry). Some background: I live in South Africa, have been married for 1 year, 4 months & had a honeymoon baby (7months). DH also has a daughter from a previous relationship. SD7 does not live with us, but with BM about 1700km (1060 miles) away from us. She visits 3 to 4 times a year for about 2 weeks at a time. (You’d think that that would be little enough time not to get all fed-up).
