So as expected BM took SS21 out Friday to drink with him for his 21st. She didn't pick him up though had him drive... naturally. He met her at her dive social club she is a part of... called that... then to another bar... He was home at 9:45.
He comes in, comes right up to our room to show SO the glass mug BM got him... it's like he's 5... It's a $25 Amazon mug that you can have to customized... nothing special...
The summer has been going well so far. No more good in the room (I suspect DH finally found the right sensitive spot by taking away gym visits with BM). SS13 is here pretty much all day, but is in his room, so we rarely see him. Still, I'm keeping track of how long until school starts. Only two more weeks with us.
SS12 has been home with BM for almost 3 weeks now. BM has emailed DH several times, all with stupid, unnecessary emails to clearly remain relevant. DH either hasn't responded or responded "Thanks for the update."
I buried my frustration in my last post.
Greetings lovely Steptalkers. The summer over here has been quite nice, one day drifting gently into another. The mornings are cloudy and cool, the afternoons sunny and warm. Our little enclave has become a bit more famous for things such as a Monaco Billionaire and a super stud actor, but really nothing much changes. The tourist crowds and those seeking shelter from the interior US heat have decended.
....and unlimited cash grabbing spawns
Am I the only one who is perturbed by how delusional these Disneyland dads are ....
ESPECIALLY the ones who:
However, I don't want to disengage from the grandkids, just from Starry. Any ideas for how to navigate through this was would be much appreciated.
A few things I am going to do immediately...
1. Stop taking her phone calls.
2. Stop reading and responding to her texts.
3. Never be around her without my husband or her husband present.
4. Find a new hairdresser. She is sooooo fired.
5. Find a new nail tech (because the one I go to now is at Starry's salon). I will have to get my pedicures elsewhere.
Myself and dh have separate finances. He has always pleaded poverty above and beyond the bills. So I was under the impression he had very little left every month, and whatever was left of mine Is ours.
Subsequently I sort out our daughter's birthday and Christmas every year with no input from him. But he does manage ss and mine.
The other day he said that ss had asked for his birthday money early (November) and 300! This week.
Yesterday we received the final order terminating cs for good. MA will get back about 1500 from csea...and the old Beaver will get a final payment of $526.
WOOHOOO...FINALLY
SS13's lack of relationship with my family continues to bother DH. SS didn't want to go to the last family birthday dinner and pretty much told DH he doesn't want to go to stuff going forward.
I don't see this as a huge deal. He's 13. The other kids are all girls (except my 19-year-old nephew). He doesn't know anyone all that well. Kids that age don't necessarily love spending time with aunts, uncles and cousins they are close to, let alone the bio family of the stepmother they only tolerate.
