So, everything I had predicted has happened.

BM and her (now seperated)Husband are divorcing. She moved all 4 of her kids (only 2 are my skids) out of his house and into her Mother's home. The older two kids (not mine) are used to this, as they have lived with 3 different men in the 2 years that DH and I have been together, and BM's mother raised them (without BM present) until they were almost 3. Did I say she moved all 4 kids to her Mother's? Once again, prediction correct. SS4 and SD4 are now with us full time, and she is "supposedly" going to get them every weekend.

Knowing BM, this is likely not going to happen. DH and I are keeping record. Saving all text messages when she says that she can't get them for whatever reason. Saving all daycare payment receipts. Saving all receipts from grocery purchases & skids clothing purchases. Keeping a daily record. Taking pictures when the skids come home in disgusting clothing that is too small & are nasty because they haven't had a bath in 3 days. This way, when we take the good for nothing bitch to court, we will have proof of how we are stable and able to care for these children and she is not. She lives at her mothers, just got a new car but has no job ot income, can go out & drink at the club but for some bullshit reasons can't get her sons glasses fixed. (They have broken twice while they were in her care, never in ours.) SS4 and I are going to the eye doctor this Tuesday to see about the surgery to correct the lazy eye. I already know that he is going to have to have it. Stupid, good for nothing BM obviously didn't see a high level of importance in SS4 wearing the glasses to correct the eye.

And what's even more sad is that I have to take the skids to daycare Friday in clothes that are too small & SS4 can't wear his glasses, because BM is picking them up at daycare Friday afternoon for the weekend (if she makes it 3 days with her own children). We can't let them wear the good clothes to go see her because we don't get them back & her other kids end up wearing them, even though they are way too small for them. & I have told the skids that they live at Daddy's house now and they will be visiting Momma at Granny's house on the weekends. & I don't give a rat's ass if she says something about it or gets angry. She can be mad all she wants, because it's the truth & she created this situation. It is what it is, & I am not going to lie to the skids like she will. Stupid floozy.. has the kids asking why they can't go to (BM's ex-husband)'s house anymore. Why can't we go back to the new house? Why does momma live in lots of houses now? I don't bad mouth her in front of the skids, but it's sad and ridiculous. Meanwhile, I am just happy that they are now living with DH and I, where I know they are bathed every day, eating right, going to daycare & learning things, actually getting dicipline when they are misbehaved, wearing clothes that are decent & that fit, and being watched by someone other than their 7 year old brother and sister all day. Don't get me wrong, it's HARD working a full time job & taking care of twins full time. But we're doing it. I am very grateful that they are now in a good environment, & that (although they may not realize it now being so young) they have a good example of a healthy family structure.

I'll tell you what though, I keep an industrial size bottle of Ibprofren in the medicine cabinet for the headaches that come with children!
