Venting today.....

Well I don't understand this at all but it just slays me that BM continuously takes those kids on road trips like every other weekend and BF just goes with the flow. We have to ask her for the kids and then she dictates when we are going to have them and for how long and if she changes her mind which she does quite frequently then we may not after setting this up. I think its just nuts. BF's sister is having a group birthday dinner party for his neice, his mom and me in two weeks. She asked if we would have the kids because all the other kids would be there and I said well we'll ask. Talked with BF and I'm not sure what the discussion was with BF but he comes back to say that she's taking them away again for the weekend in two weeks and that we can have them this weekend and part of next weekend! What the hell is part of next weekend??? and then the following weekend she's taking them away. Now if that were us asking to take them away it would not happen! I get so frustrated with BF because he's just so happy that she's letting him/us see them that he doesn't ever stand up to her. I don't want to fight with her either because it just hurts the kids but I hate the control she has......See there it is I hate the control she has, I guess that's my biggest beef today.
I guess I asnwered my own vent in that they don't have set visitations and this is exactly why she agreed to this because she gets to have total control and thats who she is and what she wants! Wow that sucks....

I know exactly how you feel about the control issue! I go back and forth on the way to “handle it” but where I am right now is to say “to heck with it!” If she wants her kids to miss out on getting to know BOTH sides of their family, then they are missing out b/c of HER ignorance and that is HER cross to bear…disengage and let her have the control b/c with the control comes the responsibility too and if that is what she wants to portray a “struggling single mother” WTF ever, go for it! (hold up here am I talking about your situation or my own?! LOL) But bottom line, “Heavy is the Head that Wears the Crown” and if she wants to crown herself “Head BITCH in Charge” then let her get all the neck pain that goes along with it!

Make a GREAT Day!

My mother did the exact same thing when I was a kid. I always thought that she was just running from her problems, even when I was a kid and she was dragging me all over the country.
