crazy BM requests

DH and I just returned from an amazing vacation to the Caribbean to see my brother get married. Such a wonderful time, and technically our honeymoon.

Upon our return to the States, waiting for a connecting flight, DH called skid1 (they had only been able to communicate through FB messages, since we were international).

Skid1 said "Mom wanted me to ask if you could get her a shot glass for her collection."

Um, no. And this is not the first time she's requested this of us on our travels. WTF?

It's not like she gave us $5 and said, "Hey, pick me up a shot glass please."

Obviously, it's not the money, it's the principle. Why the fuck would I want to buy her a souvenir on my honeymoon, and why the fuck would she want a "collectible" WE acquired on OUR HONEYMOON?!? We're not friends, and she and DH are barely on speaking terms re: the skids (that's a whole other blog!)

DH's response wasn't the nicest, but he said "Tell your mom to save her money like we did to go on a nice vacay and buy her own souvenir." LOL!

What crazy requests have your BM made?

Lol! Awesome response from your DH! That woman is seriously twisted if she thought you guys would actually get it for her!

He's the best! I just wish BM wouldn't put skid1 in the middle of communication so he could say it to her directly.
Such a weirdo!

I would have, if she wasn't a total bitch about everything. She goes out of her way to make life miserable for DH, so eff that.
Fireball is the best! Except for that recall Sad

The request from BM that freaked me out the most was her wanting to come to our WEDDING - along with HER mother.

The wedding was 5 states away and she thought she should come. Hubby said yes - I said Fuck No! Thank god i won. No BM at my wedding. Freaky BM. :sick:

This was during the time that he was still scared of her. Did not want to upset her. Yes - hubby had issues when I got back with him. He was like an abused man.

Had I not known him 26 years ago - I would not of married him. But I knew who he use to be. thank god he found himself again.

I asked her "Why do you want to come to our wedding?" She said "Because i want to see my daughter be a flower girl and also watch ExH get re married."

What she wanted was to mantain her control over him and I think she was hoping to be able to control me. Fat chance of that happening honey!

ooh! I remember one from BM..

"I have booked SD in to Dance classes during your time. You need to make the 40 minute drive to my place to pick her up and take her to dance, then drop her back to my place after. If you choose NOT TO - then I'll charge you $20 petrol money to take her myself. (Dance studio is 5 mins from BM's house).

SO's response..

"You want to charge ME petrol money for driving our daughter to her class??!! A 5 minute drive??!Obviously, you've lost your mind. Book her in classes on your time or cancel it. Until she can show consistency with her activities, I won't be participating in any of your organising kids activities during my time.".

SO refused to agree to SD attending dance class as she is lazy, inconsistent and entitled.

BM who still tried to control SO, went ahead and enrolled her knowing full well that SO would get mad and thereby, start up the texting wars again - which didn't happen 'cos he refused to respond after the text he sent.

I have another...BM signed up SD who was 10 at the time to be in a beauty pageant. Whatever, not my cup of tea.

So, once you do all that, you are then expected do all kinds of beauty pageant events. She told me I can take her to those. Hmmmmmmm....I looked her in the eye and said no. I do not believe in these pageants, so I will not be getting involved. But enjoy yourself.

She never did take SD to any more events....got in the way of her paaarrttting.

We got back from an OS vacation earlier this month and were greeted at the arrivals gate by BM. It was 1am in the morning.

Whether she thought she was getting a shot glass souvenir....
