BM is bipolar and has borderline personality. Therefore she has decided that what really went down when my boyfriend broke up with her is that he decided he didn't want to be married anymore and stopped loving her. She has used that to justify her being pissed at the entire world, and is constantly making claims against us that are not true!

Her newest one because the schedule is not yet final is that we are taking the kids away from her. We had the two skids ( 7 and 3) over the weekend and they had a slumber party Saturday night. Well, like most kiddos, they did not get enough sleep on their slumber party. BM was supposed to pick them up from us at 5:00pm Sunday, and we figured we'd just emphasize they needed to get to sleep a little early. Well, BM was in Blackhawk for who knows what reason, and 7:30 finally rolls around (a half hour before their normal bedtime), and we try to suggest the kids just sleep at our house so they could go to bed, and she could get them in the morning.

Well, she said she would call the police and have them escort the kids to her car because we can't "stop her from getting her kids". We caved, and let her come get them even though it was late, and she sat in front of the house for 10 minutes afterwards trying to call and yell. Then we found out that instead of going home, she took the kids to starbucks for another hour and a half. Screw the kids sleep, she just wanted to spite us.

All we wanted to do is have the kids have a good night sleep. And instead we get an angry person yelling at us for "taking her kids", then she kept them up so she could visit with them, when she had the opportunity to pick them up 3 hours prior. And she was in Blackhawk.

Then we find out that the 7 year old feels like he is a "baby" at our house, because we actually enforce rules, and discipline, and respect. Which includes reasonable bedtimes, asking permssion to get snacks, meals, etc, asking permission to go outside. Where as he does whatever he wants with BM. So of course he prefers it. It is just hard to put up with the stress and actually feel like we're doing right by the kids. Because while I know we are providing structure and a healthy home, I just wonder what is really best in the end and if all the fighting to get the kids with us for more time is worth it.
