Backstory: BM lives 3 very large states away and sees the skids only when DH pays for their travel. She has never paid CS nor changed her plans to see them or call them. Every time she does see them she tries to get money out of DH for the visit or suddenly has a life threatening emergency which means she cannot see them.

BM whines that she wants to see skids this summer since she never sees them. DH says sure you can have them for 6 weeks. BM says Oh yes! Wonderful! Next day she is upset and says she has to work for the summer so she can only see them maybe 3 or 4 days. Eye rolls on our end.

Then BM must have surgery right away to fix something wrong in her stomach. She is sure it is cancer(in the last 3 years she has 'had' breast cancer, lung cancer, bowel cancer, and bone cancer she is a miracle and overcomes each problem in a few weeks) and so no skids at all unless she gets to the point she will not recover in which case it is DH's LEGAL DUTY to take skids to see her before she dies.

Suddenly, BM loses her job and so no health insurance means no surgery. But in a miraculous turn around her stomach no longer hurts! She is fine! But she cannot have skids as she has no money.

Then BM calls weeping. She must see her children they are all she has. OK when? DH will buy tickets and send them. She gives date says they will stay for maybe a week. Then a few days later she asks if they can stay 2 weeks. No one here cares how long JUST GIVE THE DAMN DATES so plane tickets can be bought.

Tickets are bought(the kind you can end up saving for other dates). BM calls weeping again. She needs to have her children and why are we always keeping her precious babies from her. DH says you can have them for 5 weeks!(one week is now gone) As long as you want! BM gets pissed and starts screaming about how she doesn't have any money and can't feed them and can't take care of the oldest who lives with her and they will soon be homeless. Uh, yeah. Cause the man you live with-a lawyer-is suddenly putting you out? He has drug your ass around for over 5 years now and seems to enjoy your drama. He also has always bought all the food and seems to enjoy the skids as he has no sons.

DH points out he always sends money for the visits and all be fine. BM then PLEADS for more time with kids! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to scream at BM that SHE is the one who whittles down their visit time. Then she bitches to skids that DH refuses to let them come for as long as she wants them.

I am SO sick of this shit. Summer, fall break, Christmas break, spring break. The same freaking thing EVERY time!
