So anyone that follows my threads knows that I LOVE MY SD. HATE THE BM....well I guess hate is a pretty strong word, and other different circumstances I would be OK with her...but eh, yeah, I dislike her strongly.

So we had SD overnight last night and this morning was routine as usual, got up got dressed had breakfast. She hung out while I got myself ready to run errands. The FUNNY thing is this: I wear perfume every day lol, I don't know why but my outfit doesn't feel complete without it Biggrin

sooooooo, I always let SD have a little too, not a whole lot mind you, she is 2, so Im not dousing her in the stuff, but she plays with my empty powder make ups and pretends to get all glammed up with me lol. Anyway, LAST time we got ready together, she got
a little spritz and then SO took her back to BM. We get a text like an hour later saying "Why does SD smell like a dirty hooker?" LMAO Smile

Its Beauty by Calvin Klien actually, but whatever Smile I thought it was funny...I know its super petty and juvenile but I can't help doing little things that I know are going to drive BM crazy..just because I can. Helps releive the tension a bit Smile

"I don't know what dirty hookers smell like, BM. But I guess I'll defer to the expert."

My SD and I get along really well, too. And I too strongly dislike her BM. SD is always around when I am getting ready, and is so interested in all of it - the perfume, the lip gloss. She loves it and acts as though she never does this with BM. We often do our nails and I recently realized this must be getting to BM. Because each time I see her next the polish is changed. I gave SD a manicure and pedicure on a Sunday, and on Wednesday it was changed to a new color. It was only three days and we all know that pedicure polish last weeks. So, yesterday we did our nails again - it's become a ritual now before going back to BM's. Wonder how quickly BM changed the polish last night.

My two SDs and I get along pretty well, and I(like you guys) can't stand BM. We are currently having a power struggle over SOCKS. Yep, socks. A few weeks ago she sent SD8 in mismatched socks. I dont mean one was black and one was white either, I mean like 2 totally different colored, different patterned, one ankle sock, one longer, mismatched socks.

Me: SD8, why are you wearing mismatched socks??
SD8: Mommy couldnt find the matches, so she said just wear them over here.
Me: Ohhh really.

So since then, I wash said mismatched socks and put them back on her when she goes back to BMs. Next time we get them, shes wearing them again, next time she goes back, I send her back in them. The power struggle of mismatched socks continues! Its been going on about a month now. I will not give in. Its petty, but I know it annoys her and after all the shit she has put me and my marriage thru, Game on bitch. lol

If I could count the petty things I do... gosh we would be here all day.

Here are a few...

When I talk to BM I ALWAYS refer to SS being with us as "home" for example "when you bring SS home..." I always use more fabric softener in the laundry for SS's clothes. So they smell REALLY good when he goes to her house. I purposely turn the dryer on when BM is coming, the out take is right by our front door so you get a nice wiff of clean clothes when you walk up. I put a slide show of family pictures (including SS) on our 55" TV when I am home can't miss it when you walk in my house. When SS comes home, I tell him, while BM is still standing there "go change out of those clothes in to some clean ones, you smell like an ashtray". She loves that.

The list goes on and on.

That just reminded me that I sent clean clothes home yesterday, and after taking it out of the dryer I rubbed the fabric softener sheet on it so it would smell super clean clean. At first I was doing this so she knew they were clean. BM always sends clothes back to us (that we allowed SD to wear home) dirty. Now that I'm making it a point for her to know I send back freshly washed, super clean smelling laundry, I can only imagine she will up her game. She definitely prides herself on being MOTY - so I'm sure she will send the next ones super clean. We've had other petty issues as well. None bother me because they are SO transparent. If I didn't STRONGLY dislike her, I'd almost feel bad for her.
