Insecurity breeds delusion
Bm generally stays out of our way and skids are good we work as a unit when they are here I don't have too much drama to complain about. The last couple of weeks though Oh my goodness. She has threatned changing of the schedule that has been in place for the last three years. One that is court ordered so I don't even know why she thinks she has the power to do that unless they go back to court. Badgered for money which to her credit she does typically budget with her cs, an amount that I see as more than fair considering dh has them every weekend and one night a week. So this is completly new. You can imagine that I thought I was living the good life in regards to step situations but that seems to have come to an end.
Apparently she thinks I am trying to replace her and have been telling OSD to call her mom because she found something that OSD wrote that had my name written next to a Mom line-form type thing. Neither me nor my husband ever told her to do this nor did we even know she had done it. She doesn't believe this,thinks that Dh wrote it and that OSD would never do that according to her OSD is lying that she did to cover for us.
I don't want to bring it up to OSD I don't know why she did it. I have not seen her be manupulative before. I know that she does have some problems getting along with her Mom who seems to favor YSD at times so maybe it was to ruffle her feathers? I don't know but as much as I do get along with SD's I don't want to be their Mom if I wanted to be someone's mom I have no reason to believe that I can't have my own kids why would I want someone else's used kids?
I just wanted to add that
I just wanted to add that although I do understand why this would hurt her feelings I don't think she is going about it the right way. OSD likely did it to get her Mom's attention not for her Mom to come at us like a crazy woman.
Thanks I am not going to ask
Thanks I am not going to ask her and I will tell my DH the same. I don't want to get involved but I am sure it will be akward the next few times we have to see her.
It Daddy tells his ex that
It Daddy tells his ex that nobody except the kid thought it up and you lie low it should blow over. You're right, nothing in a court order can be changed except by a new court order or agreement between the two parents, preferably in writing.
Your Skid listed you as mom
Your Skid listed you as mom on a form. Rather than go ballistic that you are relacing her a rational, viable adult, quality mother would take that as a moment of introspection to figure out what she is doing or not doing that motivates her daughter to consider you more of a mother than BM is.
All in all, not your problem. You should be flattered.
I certainly am flattered when my son demonstrates that he considers me to be his one and only REAL dad while clearly recognizing that his Sperm Idiot is a worthless POS.
Congratulations ....... mom. Its a girl!!!!
