An idiot or just inconsiderate?

Everyone knows that Easter is this coming weekend, it's also a 'shared' holiday (according to CO) but BM made all these plans for SKids then got pouty when DH asked for them.

BM had said that she was taking the sKids some where because they don't have school on Friday. So she MIL started planning something to Saturday we told her the SKids would probably be out of town but she always has something on Sunday as well and DH told her that it was a shared holiday and we would get sKids early like we have the past 3 years!

I need a pair of those rose colored glasses...

that DH and BM apparently have when it comes to sKids because I honestly just don't see it.

They aren't bad kids - I mean I have seen worse - I guess I am just not as easily impressed as they are. But I am getting better about just shaking my head and walking away. If they are okay with it then I can be too.

I think its funny (in a sad way) though that sKids have been here less than 24 hours and there are already so many things that would make a normal person stop and think "really?"

Psychological testing - BM finally told the truth, to a point.

"You don't know what goes on at my house" that is the first honest things BM has said in years.

She finally agreed to have SS7 tested by a Psychologist for his Anxiety/Attentions/Sleep problems, in an attempt to finally figure out what exactly his problem is, now that it is affecting him at school. But she told DH that she wanted to be there when he talked to the psychologist because as she said we don't know what goes on at her house which may be part of the problem.

Avoidance or appearances?

Is it better to avoid the things that stress you out or to appear as if nothing is wrong?

I ask because lately I have this inability to deal with sKids and their drama, even when it is minor. I am trying to reduce my stress levels because it's basically making me ill. In reading all these book on the subject they said avoidance isn't the answer but I am not in the place yet to 'self talk' my self into a better mood.

I swear BM has a wire tap in our house

It seems like whenever DH and I come up with something, the next week BM has done it already. it seems to be very rare that we get to beat her to the punch on doing or getting anything for the SKids.

It's that way with getting the new clothes, shoes, school gear, ect. We would prefer to get them because BM picks out the ugliest things then complains that we never help out. Or if we do buy them something the next time she bring them over she got them something else and ours is no where to be found.

Which side are you on? DH and I have been going round and round about it. Is it cost affective? Does it work? Pro and Cons? We have covered it all but can't decide.

While I like staying home I get sick of him complaining about money and it's not even that we are hurting for money but DH has been 'there' and hates to see his bank account with less that $1000 in it. But I am the one that puts the money in the saving accounts, which drives DH nuts because then he checking account seems 'lower' but he is coming around to the idea that in a pinch the money can be moved back.
