BM driving me up the wall.... getting harder to bite my tongue!
Let me start with the wedding, it was perfect! One time SS showed his bad behavior during our reception and was immediately taken to BMs by BIL. That was great, after he left, all was well again and the rest of the night was smooth.
Now, for my issue with BM.. This woman continues to amaze me on how little she cares about skids! SD has hip problems, sometimes I think it's more of her craving attention than a medical condition, but I have seen her truly hurting and unable to walk. So, today I get a call from SD saying that she called her mother and she told SD that she was busy and unable to bring SD crutches so she could finish the day at school. BM goes on to say, call L4A since she's doing nothing and tell her to take a minute to go buy you crutches... Now, mind you, I have been through a LOT with skids and it hasn't been peachy keen. I always do what I can, when I can, for them NOT BM. So I sent BM a txt saying that I think if SD is this bad, she should be taken to the Dr to be checked out. (It's BM's week with skids, so she would have to be the one to take her) She refused and went on saying "If you don't care enough to help, then I'll just figure out something" WTF! I do more for these kids than their own mother!! I love them to death, yes, but on BM's week it never fails! I always get a call from SD telling me that BM told her to call me and TELL me to do something.. not ask, but TELL. I can not take it anymore! I've been the bigger person, stayed calm and collected, and have bitten my tongue millions of times. How do I deal with this woman?! I know the skids will eventually look back and appreciate everything I do for them, but the BM attitude has got to go..
Thanks for listening, I just need to vent, and come up with a way of dealing with this.

I know a perfect way to deal with it.
Tell her to bad. It's your week, your her mom, to bad. You deal with it. When she's with me, DH and I will deal with it. If it's not a emergency then to bad BM!
Wouldn't that be great if that was the way it was? Sorry, I'm just daydreaming again! LOL
LOL!!
I would LOVE to do that!!! The only reason I don't is SD and I finally have a pretty decent relationship, and in the end, she's the one that would suffer.. BM makes me wanna :barf:
hey stranger!
i am so glad to hear it was wonderful...the pics are awesome!!!!
I guess I would tell Dh to say something to her...not liely, but hey...worth a shot right? If he doesn't, then I would tell her that it's her wk....and she can deal with it on her wk????
Glad to see you back! HUGS
Hey Sia!! :)
Good to be back! Thank you! My DH is trying his best to not cause drama, as he says, so it's not likely he'll do anything about it. But I'm getting sick of it. This woman talks badly about to everyone in our town (yes, small town) and then expects to be able to tell SD to call me and demand I do something that BM can't. That just burns my hide.
I agree with Vick
I would not communicate with BM at all. I know you have a good relationship with SD and you still can when she is with you. BM wants to boss you around and tell you what to do but I'm sure she wouldn't have a problem telling you you have no say that's not your kid when it comes right down to it. Let your DH tell her to get off her ass and be a mother. I applaud you for biting your tongue this long - I never could have done it - EVER. Congratulations on your wedding!
Next time she tries to tell you to do something
"To Thine Own Self Be True" William Shakesphere
tell her to call your H. Maybe then he'll be the one who's sick of it and will do something about it.
