Once Again....

Once again SO and I are fighting about his children. I really don't think him and I have a future especially if we are not on the same page. Once again one of BDs (the eldest who doesn't come over because she had a temper tantrum because she had to share a room with her sister) called and asked if my SO could take her to practice tonight. No biggie....but this is the second time (once being just this past Friday) that she has asked for a ride and then at he last minute his other daughters tag along. The BM didn't bother to call and ask if he would take the other girls with him they just walk out. What is he suppose to say NO? I blame the BM. I know he is their father but this is a constant thing. BM just does whatever the hell she wants. It's waaaaaaaay to cold for the other girls to be sitting at a field while their sister is at practice. They just got over a stomach virus yesterday and shouldn't have been out period.

The oldest has been seeing an Orthodontist for the past year preparing her for braces. Now, the eldest has written my SO off but o course she comes around when she needs a ride like today. She doesn't even text him (and we all live a hal mile from each other.) Nothing...She begged and cried that her mom take her to get her braces right then and now instead of waiting an extra month. The BM did this all behind my SO's back and then has the nerve to give him the payment book for the braces. Now granted he is obligated for every other month (she set it up NOT him and TOLD HIM that is how it's going to be.) All she had to do is wait one month and we could have paid our half in full. Right now we are not budgeted for these braces that were just put on without knowing. Right now it's tight for us financially.

BM and daughter say jump and SO doesn't even ask how high....he just does it.

I can understand your frustration about SD calling only when she needs a ride or something.But why do you worry yourself over the other girls riding along?Who cares if they want to ride along if he's already going out there anyway?It's their own stupid fault if they freeze and get sick again.Not your problem.
The braces should have been treated as a family decision.definitely.bm should have stuck to the original agreement with that and waited the extra month.But since she didn't your SO really has no course of action to take other than going along with it.What do you want him to do? Pound his chest and roar at her?what's done is done and he can't control what BM does anymore than you can control it.I can tell you that the one thing he can control is when he sends that payment for the braces.He should wait to pay it until you are good and ready to pay it which sounds like next month from what I read.When the orthodontist office calls bm and asks where the rest of this months money is,she can explain it to them or pay it or they can wait for you guys to pay your half in full next month.At that point,you and SO have the control and all BM can do is throw a hissy fit for a month.
