"My Stepmom"

FH was married twice. BM was stepmom to SD18, SS18, and SD17(their ages now). At the time when I came into their life they were 14, 14 and 13. Its been 5 years since their seperation/divcorce.
So last night SD18 was telling me how she is taking SD10(from BM2) to a Sweet 15 she was invited to by her BF's family. I know that you are expected to dress up, so I asked her if she had an outfit in mind for SD10.

Well wishes?

Just wanted to know if BM calls any of your FH/SO/DH's on their birthdays or on Holidays?
BM never used to do this and I am finding that now she is starting to call FH on his BDay and she also got on the phone when he was talking to the kids to wish him a Happy Easter.I already don't trust her and find it extremely odd which gives me a bad feeling about it. I'm happy to say that he ignored her call on his bday and was quick to hang up when she called on Easter.
I don't call my ex for any of that stuff. I remind BS to call him on his BDay but that is about it.

Any Teachers Here?-OT

I know this is extremely off topic but I need advice. My son is in the 2nd grade and has been struggling in school for quite some time. However, in the 2nd quarter he has pulled up his grades dramatically. I am so proud!!!!! He has begun taking Focalin for his ADHD, and I have been giving him extra lesson plans at home to help with reading(I do what I can, I'm not a pro or anything). He is also in a team teaching setting and is really thriving there (the two teachers helps give him more individualized attention).

What do you think?

I have been wondering about this and its really getting to me, because I see it is getting to FH and he won't admit to it.

OT-Kinda...

So BioDad has decided that he will take BS for Winter Break next week. He will be picking him up this evening. The last time he spent time with him was sometime in December. This is the longest I will be without my baby, who is 7. I feel weird for letting him go. I am worried and just being an overprotective mamabear.
Also, BS doesn't really want to go. And I know why. His Wii, TV, toys are all here. He doesn't have that stuff at BioDad's house. But I want them to spend time together. Plus I can use the break.

Do You Switch Weekends?

About a month ago BM asked FH to switch weekends because she wanted to take the skids with her to drop off her older daughter at college. She told FH, I will take them for two weekends in a row and then you take them the following two weekends. After discussing it, he said okay. I felt weird about it, because I know there is always an ulterior motive, but anyway.
So it went like this:
BM, Jan16-17
BM, Jan23-24
FH, Jan30-31
FH, Feb6-7

What's your argument/disagreement style?

Last night I decided to approach FH about a problem that has been going on for awhile. SS18 has a HORRIBLE attitude. I tried to attribute it to teen angst, hormones, or whatever but I just don't understand it. My two older SDs, 18, and 16 are pretty good kids, helpful, etc. They have bad days but not like him.

I need to let this out...

FH and I have a good relationship. We get along, we laugh, we have sexual chemistry, etc. He is good to me. There isn't much more that I can ask for...
Except this-I hate that everyday he texts/calls BM. Usually call is 3 minutes max. Sometimes its more than once a day, but not often. Or he will text. Never both. I get frustrated because he is always the one initiating.
I know it seems small. But she has done ALOT to me over the years. Completely disregarded my existence. And I have tried to maintain because I don't want the children caught in all this mess.

Why?

Ok.... I have been posting here for awhile now. I try to offer up advice and support where I can. I usually try to refrain from judging or anything.
But Yet, I post blogs and barely get responses. Is it because its not interesting enough? Because I am not bashing anyone? I don't get it. I thought originally it was because I was a newbie, but now I am not.
It seems like only blogs that stir the pot get the most responses. I'm sure this won't get any responses either. Just needed to vent.

Would you rather...

BM2 is weird. She puts on the poor me act and has everyone buying it, including FH. When he calls to find out about the kids she tells him things that aren't necessarily related. She has called to tell him about her car getting broken into, though her BF fixed the window. She tells him about her sick friend. She tells him that she is worried her BF won't commit. How do I know? Because he turns around and tells me.
