SD12 talks about her Mother almost NON-STOP!

No matter what I do with my SD12, she ALWAYS shares a story about her Mom doing something equally as nice or funny. At first, I thought she felt guilty for hanging out and having so much fun with me considering her Mother and I don't get along at all. But, now, I'm not sure.

I have taken her to get a mani/pedi. The result? "Oh, Mom and I went to another place and "x" happened."

Good, bad or indifferent... there's always a story.

THE EX. Fight fire with fire? Or be the bigger person?

My DH's ex-wife (and BM to their two children - SD12 and SS9) is a game player extraordinaire! Her actions are a reflection of someone who is interested in being the more popular and fun parent. Moreso a friend to the kids versus a disciplinarian to keep them in-line and on task.

Normally, I would not care. What happens on her time with her children is no one's business as long as the kids are safe and sound and the mutually agreed upon rules are being adhered to.

Common-sense isn't so common?

Hello. SM34 here. And, ready to pull my hair out. Bald would NOT be a good look for me, so I thought I'd try this Steptalk thing on for size. Beware - this is a book - I'm in furious venting mode.

I actually have a great relationship with my DH40 and his two kids - SS9 and SD12. This sounds cliche, but the BM39 has zero common sense or any consideration for co-parenting.
