BM's attention-seeking and lack of self-awareness
BM recently posted on multiple public community Facebook sites to complain about how parents insist on getting involved in their children's disputes with others. She crowed on about how she is working to teach her children coping and communication skills so they could resolve their own conflicts.
I had to laugh at this, because BM is constantly inserting herself into whatever "conflict" SSs have with DH. She has also rushed in to resolve any conflicts they have at school (both children have switched teachers mid-way through the year several times) and on the sports field.
By all means, lady, think that you are "teaching" your kids how to resolve conflict, while meanwhile modeling to them that the only way to get your way is to scream, cry, and trying to manipulate others into "taking your side." Great example, she is setting on the conflict management front.
She also talks about how important it is to not "blindly defend" your children who are not always right 100% of the time. Another eye roll for that one, since whenever either SS gets in trouble at school, she always blames the teacher, accuses them of lying, or claims that it was just a misunderstanding.
My assumption is the overly dramatic SS got into a fight with some neighborhood kid and that kid's parent called BM to complain, but maybe she just wanted people on FB to tell her what a wonderful mother she is...because she is a wonderful mother after all. LOL!

It's all about LOOKING like a good parent, not actually being one.

The irony is that by doing that, BM is openly telling the world that she knows what she'd need to do to be a good parent, she just can't be bothered to actually do it.
BM here used to tell the
BM here used to tell the school that she closely monitored SS's internet, while in reality, he stayed up all night gaming.
They don't think about anything other than that initial impression. And they assume no one knows what's really going on.
Love that hypo-critical-ness
Nice how your BM "manufactures" the truth about herself and her mothering. Its all a nice big show for the social media masses.
Toxic Troll does something similar - she loves posting memes about honesty and integrity. About being a nice person..blah blah blah. She is the most selfish self centered nasty mean person.
Blog
When DH and BM were married, BM wrote a blog about what a perfect family they were. Meanwhile, behind the scenes she was constantly berating DH and telling him she wished she had never married him, while also saying "I can't handle it" about being a mother and turning to gambling and illegal prescription drugs from her friend (who procured them from her stepfather who was a doctor) to cope with her life.
Wow, BM can write?
Toxic Troll barely graduated high school and her writing consists of nasty texting.
But she can share memes like nobodys business.
BM told us we were horrible
BM told us we were horrible parents b/c we took SD camping when she was sick. BM let her have us that weekend and it wasn't even our weekend. BM told us she had a spider bite. Turns out the "spider bite" was MRSA. Then she tried like hell to blame it on my 4 yo son. My son was just in the hospital for a week with a staph infection in his blood (different strain MSSA) but somehow it is his fault. Also she then took SD on a vacation with another family to an amusement park and a cave tour knowing she had the very contagious MRSA and that SD was faking taking her pills so she could stay sick. Yep, MOTY!!!!! Oh and all of the sudden SD has unresolved daddy issues b/c he spent 4 days in the hospital with my son but didn't stay 1 night in the hospital with her over a year ago. The issue didn't come up until we were in the hospital of course.
BM accuses DH of giving SSs
BM accuses DH of giving SSs the stomach virus because they came to our home when he was recovering from non-contagion is pneumonia.
These women are seriously
These women are seriously insane. How in the hell could my son give your daughter MRSA when his was in his blood and his showed up 2 weeks after your daughter already had it?!?! Honestly I feel like SD gave it to my son but really that doesn't even matter. What matters is if my kid is okay. Which of course wasn't her concern. Her concern was manipulating DH and making him feel bad for taking care of his other child while she withholds SD constantly and then says she needs more daddy time....ugh! I swear they make me want to divorce my DH and never look back.
It is amazing
It is amazing how much upset and stress a StepMom or dad can feel by looking at the exes social media account. Do yourself a favor and don't research her anymore. You can live your life without it, and the minute you banish her from your life you will feel SO MUCH FREEDOM. I know from personal experience. Good luck to you and hang in there.
This is good advice as well.
This is good advice as well. There is no benefit to you from reading her BS.
I wasn’t looking at her
I wasn’t looking at her account. She posted that on a public community site and we live close enough to her that I was a member of the same site.
