Today Sux
I'm just having a bad day today. I am constantly running kids here, there, everywhere. I am physically exhausted. Kids having been so demanding. Did you do this, did you do that, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. I am on the road every night of the week with practice, ballgames etc. Tonight, I take SS11 to his baseball game. His BM shows up. Lovely. Anyway, the B*tch can't even stay to watch her son play a whole friggin game. Has never offered to take SS to any game. This is not the first time. So when we get home I ask SS11, why doesn't your mom stay for your games? He of course makes an excuse for her. I roll my eyes. Then DH calls and wants me to tell him what's the matter I tell him. I ask him if he would bring me something to drink. He's at work, but does this for himself and others on occasion. He basically says he can't YADDA YADDA. Go figure. I'm just about to tell him that hisself or BM needs to take SS11 to his ballgames and practice. I'm just tired of everyone ASSUMEING this ol' gal has it covered. Maybe I wanted to stay home tonight and get hammered drunk. Just because SS lives with us does that make me responsible for things when DH isn't here? Shouldn't his mother take some responsiblity? I realize that when you marry someone you should be their backup, but when that favor isn't returned where do you draw the line? I guess since I'm a stay at home mom that puts all the duties on me.

I know how you fell
I'm in the same situation at this time. I have a 17 and 15 yr old SKS and they treat me like I'm a taxi. I get pulled from every direction while their mom sits her butt at home doing nothing. Just hang in their, all you can do is pray, pray and pray.
Next time...
You tell DH that he or BM needs to step up and take their kid to the game, that you have plans. And if those plans happen to involve a bottle of liquor, a hot bubblebath and a trashy romance novel, OH FREAKING WELL!

Should it make a diiference
if this is skids primary home? HB doesn't want to involve BM if at all possible, but he doesn't see that this is taking its toll on me. He got upset with me when I told him that I told SD to ask her perfect mom to bring cupcakes to school on her b-day. Of course BM just dropped them off. I've been doing those types of things for the last 3 years. I feel so unappreciated by my skids. Could you imagine what my HB would say if I told him I couldn't take SS to his game because I wanted to go out or have a drink with some friends? He would be so pissed. But HEY! BM does that crap all the time.
