Don't want to answer the phone...
So my DH is leaving next year for a whole year due to work. I have no bio kids, but he has 2 kids. The BM pretends I do not exist until she needs something (usually money) and can't get ahold of DH. Then I suddenly reappear! I know that this will happen next year while he is gone and personally I'm dreading it! It'll be hard enough with him gone but I don't believe I should have to deal with her unless it's a 911 emergency about the kids! At this point, I either exist or I don't but she can't have it both ways!
Has anyone else dealt with this? Am I out of line to ignore her calls?
I'm to the point of telling DH that he inform her to not contact me because she can't be grown up enough to deal with the fact that he has remarried and is happier than he ever was with her. Oh BTW...she remarried a year before we got married and we have to acknowledge her DH but apparently I'm invisible!
Will you be seeing the kids
Will you be seeing the kids during this year??
No, they live states away
No, they live states away from us and we fly them to us for visits. Also, my DH will be in an area that he will have limited communication at times.
Call display. I don't pick up
Call display. I don't pick up the phone when BM calls. If DH isn't here - I let it go to voicemail. The woman refuses to even be civil, she hasn't earned the right for me to pick up the phone in my home when its her. All she is going to do is ask for DH or SD - if either one was here, they would have picked up the phone. I see no point.
Bwahaha. My hubby went away
Bwahaha. My hubby went away for the year and when DH called her house to speak with the kids, she hit him up for money. Of course, my husband said yes.
I'd much rather deal with the hassle of BM calling me and me getting to say no than her dealing with my husband and him always saying yes.
I would not answer the phone.
I would not answer the phone. BM is nothing to me.
Do not answer the phone.
Do not answer the phone. There is no reason for her to call your house. Her kids will not be there, the father of her kids will not be there.
I would laugh my ass off if crazy BM ever thought I would be tending to any need of hers. That's hilarious.
My bm demanded I call her
My bm demanded I call her anytime I was leaving town when my dh was in Iraq. This was when she was with her son. She just felt she needed to know where I was!
Thank you all for the advice!
Thank you all for the advice! I talked with DH last night and explained that I would not be answering the phone if she calls. She has done way to many evil things to us and I no longer trust or believe her anymore. DH completely agreed and understood. I think it's time to give her a taste of her own medicine, she is always acting like I don't exist, when the tables are turned I'm sure it'll piss her off that I refuse to be at her beck and call! }:)
