I figures that for my first blog some background information would be good so here goes....
My husband and I have his 3 kids every weekend. They are for the most part well-behaved, smart, loving kids. Our problem isn't as much the kids as the crazy BM and her mother (BMM). These women are hypochondrias who are trying to pass this down to the skids. They have SS4 convinced that he is a type 1 diabetic eventhough she has had him to atleast 4 specialists who have found nothing wrong (the last one made it no secret that they thought she was trying to make him sick to get attention). They take his sugar as many as 10-15 times a day and if anyone knows someone with diabetes this can be painful especially for a 6 year-old and expecially that many times a day. This is just one of the many things that I would consider child abuse/neglect that the BM and BMM do. During one of our attemts to "get along for the kids sake". BM told me that she locks the boys in their room at night and that sometimes they have to crawl out the window and knock on the front door to be let back in to go to the bathroom <-she thought this was hilarious. DH and I have kept track of where the children spend the night for over a year now and have documented only 10 nights that all the children have stayed with their mother in that time. BM also told me that she just can't get the kids to come home from her moms. That they throw fits when she tries to make them and they will call and tell her mother if she is not doing what they want her to. Right now BM is committing welfare fraud by not claiming all her live-in boyfriends income, tax fraud by filing with her husband who she has not lived with in over 2 years, her parents pay for her house and her vehicle, and yet she loves to tell anyone who will listen how hard she has it and how she can't work because it is just too hard on her. Being as we are both stay at home moms I could maybe be simpathetic to her situation but SHE NEVER HAS HER KIDS!! I am just so fed up with BM and her constantly changing rules. One minute it is OK for me to be active in the childrens lives and the next it is not OK for me to be doing something that I have always done for them. I'm sure that there are a million things I wanted to put in here but right now I have to go to SD's football game that she cheers at because DH and I are the ones that have to take the kids to all of the sporting events that BM schedules on his time.
