BM has just commandeered the first two weeks of my summer break. Her mother has been ill for a while with a completely optimistic prognosis. Yesterday out of the blue she emailed DH saying that her mother is not well and she needs to go to be with her in her mother's country and it will be for two weeks and can he take the twins. He, being a good person, said yes, of course. I got thinking later that this is just on her say-so; she could be making up that her mother has taken an unexpected turn. If she were doing that badly, wouldn't Nut Job want her sons to see her mother too? 

This is the woman who has told her children sooooooooooo many times not to tell their father x, y, and z........don't tell him most recently that she has quit her job. That will be fun too because with her at home and out of work yet still a fabulous VIP, I fully expect she'll expect the free childcare she has always enjoyed during the summers. Last summer they aged out of the half-day camp so they are here all day every day. My fault for setting that precedent. The irony is not lost on me that when this all first started, I was happy to watch them!

I wish no illness on anyone, and I feel for anyone going through watching their parent be ill and contemplating the future without their parent, but this woman is such a lying nrcissistic sack of filth that I would put NO LIE past her. 

Dirty.
