Frustrated
I really had planned to discuss with my husband my position regarding giving BM more than what is ordered in the CO when he arrived home from work. Nothing ever goes according to plan lol. A "friend" stopped by about an hour before DH came home from work with the intention of "swimming with her kid for just a little while". I did tell her that I had a serious personal matter to take care of when DH came home so... Next thing I know, she's leaving and her kid (who is HORRIBLE) is staying the night so she can go spend the night with her boyfriend! WTF! She never asked, she just assumed even though I told her I had plans. My DH can not STAND this child and really doesn't want her around when he is home. Great! that's going to make it so much easier to plead my case. (This 'friend' has been told she's no longer welcome here, sigh... that was the last of my "support group"). When he pulled into the garage, I walked out there to meet him (Take his bag and lunch box, kiss on the check, "how was your dad dear" sorta thing) I could already tell he was in a foul mood. Then I informed him that devils spawn was here, that made it worse. I decided to just wait until another day when he would be a little more receptive of the discussion. WELLLLLL.... this morning I get a text from BM saying that the girls have lice AGAIN!! it seems like every few months they end up with it and no one knows why. SHe drops them off like normal and tells me that she's going to come home early from work to treat their hair and clean the house. ummm so they have live lice and you want to drop them off HERE?? thanks for that. SO I spend all morning tearing my house apart to deep clean again. Check my 15 yr old daughter's hair, its clean. Then husband texts me to tell me someone may be by to look at the boat we have for sale, could I go clean the windows and vacuum the carpets and such in the boat to make it look better? oh sure I'll get right on that after I clean everything in my house with bleach, grrrr. SO while I'm standing in the hot sun cleaning the boat, I get another text for DH, BM wants him to pay for half of the stuff to treat for lice, PLUS could we please do this complicated treatment for her on friday night ( it's our weekend)? She would do it today but it's very time consuming and she wont have time in the morning to comb it all out before she goes to work. WOW. Did I miss a meeting where I've become the house bitch? So I sorta snapped back a hatefully toned text to DH, " We are not the BANK OF B*****. The lice is not coming from here. And I'm busy Friday night and Saturday morning with MY OWN KIDS!" Ok so that wasn't exactly the best course of action. He snaps back that it's HIS MONEY and HE WILL SPEND IT ON WHATEVER HE WANTS! wow. This is getting totally out of hand. So a while later he send me a text saying that he's staying over at work and won't be home until 11pm. I am just so frustrated!!!! I have no family and have pretty much had to cut ties with all of my real friends. I am so lost and alone on this and this WOMAN is going to push me out of my husband's life with her ignorance and greed!!

LOL I am pretty sure that if
LOL I am pretty sure that if I shaved their heads not only would it end in my divorce but certainly jail time for battery... but I would REALLY like to shave BM's head!! with a dull blade!
haha I just might do that! I
haha I just might do that! I usually have summers off (I teach) but DH recently asked my to put my career on hold to stay home with SD2 while BM is at work. We are planning on being pregant by the end of the year so I agreed. I think I might add "specialized child care full time" to that list lol
nope that wouldn't work at
nope that wouldn't work at all! lol my Skids LOVE me and SD2 would pick me over BM in a heartbeat. SD5 tells BM all the time she wishes she could just live here all the time. but you're right about the yucky headed kids... im thinking swim caps lol
Oh I love being a stay at
Oh I love being a stay at home mom. I stayed home with all three of my kids until they went to school. Of course my first husband NEVER would have said anything remotely like "its my money". Normally we work very well as a family. My real issue is the BM thinking we have to pay CS plus half of all costs she deems "out of the ordinary". If I could just get us past THAT issue I think we could really be the as close to perfectly happy as a family like ours can be.
SD5 would look sooo cute with a pixie cut too! SD2 has short curly locks though and she's just super cute!
and that's where my
and that's where my frustration comes into play. I'm fine with staying home and doing normal wife and mother things but to asume I will take care of an issue that stems from some reaccuring infestation started at BM's house is a little unfair. I've had to reshedule visitation with my sons for the weekend because I don't want them exposed. They did NOT take that news well. They were looking forward to spending time with me and the Skids (they adore them) and now I've had to change the visitation to a weekend when the skids will not be here. I really wish BM would trip on a rock and fall ugly face first into a pile of used hyperdermic needles on a busy highway and get run over by a bus full of zombies. hmm that may have been a little graphic lol
oh that child will no longer
oh that child will no longer be a problem. I told her and her mother not to come here again. lol still think shaving BM's head would be a much more satisfing plan. I told my husband I am NOT doing it. Since he's not coming home tonight I won't actually have a conversation with him about it until the kids are already here, grrrr
I would just make your dh do
I would just make your dh do it. Why would YOU do it-his kids, right? I think it is bizarre that you are even considering doing it. Even SAHM's deserve a day off, or have certain jobs they dont do, correct? Some dont do windows, you don't do lice. The child support is to pay for things like lice treatments-unless your court order specifies you pay for lice treatment then you are not supposed to pay for it. Also it appears the lice treatment she is purchasing is not working so it is nothing more than a money pit. Is your dh willing to contribute to it every few months until the are 18? Seems ridiculous to me.
that's exactly the issue with
that's exactly the issue with the money... she keeps thinking that every time she incures some new cost, we are to pay half of it, and he DOES IT!!! he agreed that he shouldn't and she only does it because he says yes but he agreed to pay for HALF the friggin lice treatment and for "us" to do it. sooooo frustrating.
He doesn't seem to have a
He doesn't seem to have a problem with spending money and LICE is certainly not your problem - so call around and find a salon in your area that will take care of the issue for you while you sit and get your nails done. Screw him!
Their hair needs to be really
Their hair needs to be really short for awhile until this is resolved. You tell DH that you are taking them. If he doesn't like that option, he can come home and do the whole thing. You are leaving. You are sounding like a stay at home maid. I would be back and work immediately. Also, I would seriously reconsider having a child with this guy.
I would offer to pay for half
I would offer to pay for half of the treatment and INSIST that the kids stay in one home until it is resolved. There is no reason to infest two homes with head lice.
