Stupidity at its best...
Ugh - our BM absolutely kills me with her stupidity. Back in March we asked her if she is going to be willing to run the two boys around for soccer on her weeks because they both wanted to try out for the traveling team. We explained that its a lot of traveling and there will be times where they both are playing at two different places. She agreed, said she had no problem with it seeing she isn't employed. Well, here we are starting the Fall league and this genius just put it together that she will have them and can't be in two places at once. She asks my BF what they are going to do. He explained that he works on her Saturdays with the boys and that he got his weeks taken care of and he wasn't sure what help he could be seeing he works. Mind you, he's had the same work schedule for years and she knew he works. She got pissy and replied with some smart comments and that was it. Yesterday, my BF had called his son and asked him if he brought his homework home to do - it's her week. He didn't know what he was talking about. He explained that he went online and saw he had homework and it needed to be done, he could get the homework off the internet. He then shot her a text asking her to make sure she sees that its done and explained the situation. She really replied saying that he made it clear that he worries about the boys on his weeks and she worries about them on her weeks and to not worry about it. Seriously?? You're mad because he's not holding your hand as far as making sure the boys get to their soccer games when its your responsibility and you are going to compare that with his schooling and making sure his assignments and work are taken care of!? The kicker is she sent him a text the first week of school saying they BOTH needed to make sure that their son was doing what he needed in school and that all assignments are done and blah blah blah and that is how you respond? The stupidty of her just baffles me. I think its ironic bc I think she was hinting at me helping with the boys on her week with getting them to soccer yet she won't ask bc she hates me and she can't contact me bc I have a pending harrassment charge on her She also is completely capable of talking with other parents on the team to see if someone could take one of the boys the week she needs help but instead she comes, sits in her chair and doesn't move. We went to counseling once, just me and her, we hashed it all out and we were civil. We could speak if needed and that was it. She slowly went back to hating me, which was fine and then she started harrassing me and my son and now I have criminal charges against her. I forgave her for everything when we went to counseling, we agreed to start new and now here we are. She just can't grasp the concept that if we could ALL get along, it would be so much more beneficial to the boys but at this point, shes made her bed so she can sleep in it and be miserable bc I have NO desire to ever go out of my way for her again! I don't like repeating mistakes.
Sounds to me like she's
Sounds to me like she's addicted to the Drama of keeping something going. What is her actual claims against you that she does not like? What does your DH say to her about this?
I know somewhat of what you deal with. When my SS8 is with us, BM has all of these rules we're to follow from his diet (he's 20pds overweight) to his reading assignments. Yet when she has him, she doesn't follow her own rules. We'd often get him from School to find him with a red mark b/c she didn't read with him and sign his log. Or she didn't even open the Backpack after school to see what all he had to do. Yet she wanted to tell us all about what we were required to do with him. Pissed me off and we basically started ignoring her when she'd question about what he ate with us b/c 'he looks fat' and so on.
Maybe ignoring her will work better for you guys.
