Inspired by my SS's lack of clothing

I bet money

I would bet you money that because I suggested SS and I go clothes shopping for him over break next week (he has nearly nothing that fits him), BM takes him this weekend. She can't stand having me recognize a need or want for the kids that she hasn't taken care of first.

[stepparentpromises]

Yes.

Evil strikes again!

Evil stepmom here SD texted to go see Amadeus live with music next month (turns out her timing was off but that's neither here nor there for this timeline). Well, we just spent an absurd amount of money getting 3rd row seats for her to the NYC Ballet and she thinks she should also get this now because her brother is seeing Harry Potter to live music. Guess what? She chose ballet for her birthday and he chose Harry Potter for his. Done and DONE. Dad asked what the cheapest tickets are, she said $34 (plus fees of course) but said the seats weren't good. So DH said not this time. "Is this you talking?" Of course it WAS the evil stepmom who said no, I won't deny it. But SD is going to a play for $90/ticket 4 days prior to this new desire, we just dropped serious $$ on the ballet, she is jealous that SS is doing something without her (he didn't come to the ballet BTW), and guess what... you don't always get everything you want just because you want it. "Never mind... whatever" Guess what child who thinks that only colleges with $60G+/year fees will accommodate her, YOU don't know the first thing about money. You haven't earned shit in regards to this and OH let's not forget that in August you are getting a fucking CAR (used but whatever) for your 17th birthday so you can take your ungrateful ass and cry all the way to your BioMom cause we don't have time for your shit. You get what you pay for -- spoil a child and you get a spoiled ungrateful child.

Taking things too personally

I am sure that SS wanted to leave early and later have to carry his cello from his moms house to summer school because he wanted to see his dad for a few minutes. But in the back of my mind I can't help but wonder if he just didn't want to ride with me.

I will never understand E's bio mom. She posts pictures every once in a while that seem innocent enough to an outside but when she posts about his trip to the dentist all I see is "I let my six year old get at least 4 cavities" or a picture of him and her boyfriend playing on tablets and phones I see "I let my phone parent my child and my boyfriend actually has no interest in my child." She also offered to drop E off at the hospital when I have Emmett...but I'd rather set myself on fire than have her there because she still tries to pretend that we're still 8th grade besties. My husband made it clear that he would go pick up E when I was ready for visitors (if we even have him at the hospital - I barely want anyone there at all because that's our time to bond) but she kept insisting that she'd bring him after hubs walked away. I do not want you thereeee. She tries to be fake friends with everyone and treats E like a puppy and it's incredibly annoying.
