some more advice needed
OK, it's the sunday b4 xmas and usually we make the trade of my SS9 around 5 with BM. My hubby had to leave at 4 to go deal with something at work and I asummed that he would have told BM to pick up SS early but there was some mis-communication between hubby and I and he did not do that. Also my grandma is sick and in the hospital. I am close to her and was visiting her everyday. So my hubby and I are disgusing the fact that I didn't know I was going to have SS after he left and was upset because i wanted to go to see grandma. Meanwhile BM text hubby wanting to pick up SS around 5:30 which for her is usually 1/2 hr later cause she is never on time. He text back he was hoping she could come earlier (by the way it's about 3pm). She writes back that she's shopping and still has to go to the mall so she will try to make it about 5. He tells me this and MY response is, when she is done at the stores she's at she can come pick up her kid then continue on her way shopping. Anyway I thought SS was in his room but apparently he was in hearing distance and told his mom I said she needed to stop shopping a pick up her kid. She writes a text back later that night what he told her and that if we need her to pick him up earlier we need to tell her in advance and that she was shopping for his xmas presents.
She had ended up picking him at 5:15 and I really didn't want to wait around for her to come and pick him up because she's always late AND she is hearing this from a 9yr old. if we text her everytime he comes over with some story or things said we would next to buy a lot more text message min. Not to mention Does she have any clue to why I said that, NO so what gives her the right to make comments. I'm sorry I guess my family business is less important than her shopping. It really ticked me off because am I suppose to feel bad for what I said and can I not have a conversation with my Hubby in my own house! I have stewed over this ever since. SS always comes first and we have many many times dropped what we are doing to get him or do something for him that he needs. So why is it so hard for her?

Who cares if it is hard for her....
She should have come and pick up her son. The priority should be her son - not shopping in the store.
I don't think you were wrong at all. She got upset because the truth hurts........ In my opinion.
Thankyou!!!!!
I'm starting to think the same. She only gets offended cause its the truth and deep down she knows it.
This was always a sore
subject with me as well. When my SD was about the same age, she would eavesdrop on EVERY conversation we had, whether it was on the phone or not. It bugged the poo out of me. I eventually started calling her out about it. Everytime she would be listening, I would just tell her to stop listening and go play. It was soooo frustrating, b/c she would report EVERY word we said back to BM. It was stifling!
