I was right and sad about it...
I blogged the other day about how I thought dh would take our extra cell phone and give it to the boys as bm's mom had their shut off.
I was right as dh brought it up last night. I looked at him with this look like 'really'?? I didn't say too much but I was not happy and he knew that. I did say though that if we do that I know that yuckopotamus will take the phone and use it and rack up OUR bill!
it's not that I don't want the boys to have a phone or even pay for it but I REFUSE to let yuckopotamus have that kind of access to MY phone bill and rack it up on OUR FAMILY PLAN.
BM has proved time and again that she will do this to us and I don't want to take that risk.
However when dh and I were talking he did say that yuckopotamus would pull that crap and talked himself out of it so it appeared anyway. I'm just wait til we have the phone in our hand and see what he says and does. We don't need this phone but it will save us about 50 bucks on our plan only reason we will be getting it.
OI think we should use it as a house a phone meaning that when we are not home and the boys are they can use that phone but only at OUR house. That way I will know that it won't be racked up and have a huge bill to pay.
Anyone else have this problem with their dh's wanting to give a phone to their kids and bm racks up the bill???

Nope. Idiot BM wanted my DH
Nope. Idiot BM wanted my DH to pay for a cell phone for her then 9yr old daughter...because "all kids have cell phones". Thankfully, my DH told her to buy it herself. I guess she thought he was an idiot or something. Of course, she did take him to CS to get more money for this, among other things, but I'll be damned if anything with our name or even his name will be at that house...
DH got SS a phone at 9 bc BM
DH got SS a phone at 9 bc BM would leave him home alone all night with no phone. It's never been ran up but she has all kinds of games and uses the internet on it all the time bc SS has a way better phone than she does. It is very irritating to think she is using something we pay for. Grossed me out. I have never told DH bc he would just stand up for her and say I'm being pety. Idk maybe I am who knows... I wish I never said we should get him a cell but then again he is a very immature 9yr old at the time. He can't do anything for himself and the thought of him being home alone for hrs everynight is like thinking a 6yr old was home every night alone. I like the home phone idea. Run it by him. I think he may just go for it and appreciate you thinking up something so clever that he can get it, not worry about yuckapotamous and be the good guy to his kids.
Surprisingly, no BUT SS12 has
Surprisingly, no BUT SS12 has unlimited everything (except minutes which no one ever uses) so its not an issue. I'm sure she has used it for internet since they don't have a computer or internet in their home.
SS15 doesn't have a phone with us. We took hers away for lying and bad grades and her mom put her on her own plan. She'll never go back on a plan under my name. I'm working to get SS off once the contract expires. Dad needs to just take this on now.
The thing I hated about the cell phone was that when we were paying for it, BM used it at the ONLY punishment for SD. She'd take it away and SO couldn't get a hold of SD. Finally, he said something and that was straightened out. It just sucked paying for BM's leash for her daughter. Now it doesn't matter. She pays the phone for SD. Apparently, we can't take a cell phone away for punishment, but she can.
We bought my ss a pay as you
We bought my ss a pay as you go phone when he was about 10-we thought this was safer than putting him on our plan. What ended up happening is that bm used all the minutes every month. SS lost the phone after about 9 months-actually he lost it after 4 months-it was missing for a month or so and then he found it again-but he lost it for good at 9 months and we never replaced it. BM asked us to buy ss a phone about a year ago and dh brought up that he wasnt comfortable paying for a phone at her home because he felt she would use it. Her solution? For us just to make sure it had unlimited everything and then that way it wouldnt matter who was using it. Yeah, right.
Well this will not happen as
Well this will not happen as the cell phones are all in MY name only! I will say hell no if he brings it up again!
I don;t mind the boys having one or even paying for it as they are good about keeping up with them and stuff but i will NOt ever let that woman have anything in MY name! It will not happen. I am very upset with dh right now anyway.
He wants another effing dog and we already have 4! I am trying to get rid of one as we speak. We have 2 cats and 2 birds and a LOT of fish! We do NOT need anymore animals, we need to get rid of some of the ones we have. I don;t want to take care of anymore!
ok sorry for the rant but I was not happy.
Hell will freeze over when I let yuckopotamus have one of my phones and pay her damn bill.
My dh done the same thing, he
My dh done the same thing, he went out (without telling me ) and got my sd the newest blackberry on contract ! the first bill werec'd was ridiculous and when he asked her what the hell she had been doing she told him bm was using the phone (even tho she has her own) he merely told her not to let bm use the phone and has carried on paying the bills every month ! i wouldnt mind bu he is ok payinjg for bm's phone calls but i darent ask him to pay my phone bill every month for me ! really annoys me !!! oh and now the ss who is eight yrs old wants the same as my sd who is 11 ! where does it end ? when we're bankrupt perhaps ???
