I was trying..

So, I was with SD all day Saturday because FH had to work all day, which was fine with me. I took her shopping and to get her nails done. Her bangs are too long, they are all in her eyes, so I thought hmm, maybe I should ask BM if I can take her to get her bangs trimmed. FH and BM had a huge fight a few weeks ago because BM wanted to cut SD's hair real short. She has real long pretty hair. So anyway.. I thought, it would be best to ask first. So I texted her about it. She politely said NO, please dont. Honestly, shes the BM so I cant second guess her or even ask why. However, without realizing it, I started to cry. I guess its just a realization that I have limits, and frustrated because I still dont know what they are. We were just having a good day together, shopping, lunch, nails, bonding...Its hard to explain just how I felt. Later that day I told FH what happened and he got really mad at BM and they had a big fight... UGH, I dont want to cause problems.

So then Sunday night came and we had to drop SD off at BM's. I always stay in the car, but BM was outside. I felt super uncomfortable as I had to sit there in the car and listen to them arguing about the custody schedule. Then of course FH has to bring up the hair cut as we were driving off. I hate being in these situations!!

Last time skids were there and SS15 had broken yet more of my shit, I just started crying. I can't bust his ass, I can't ground him, I am powerless and it never ends.

Just wanted you to know someone else out there understands.

Yes exactly!

I forgot to mention this part too.. BM told FH that the only reason she said NO to me was because he wouldnt let her cut SD hair a few weeks ago. She said, I have no problem with SM, but I HATE you..

Games! Drama! Constant Battles! I just want peace!

Honestly.... as the bm of a little girl I don't get the huge deal. My daughter had GORGEOUS wavy mixed with ringlets in her hair.... it was long and just beautiful. Well SHE (bd) wanted to cut it! My ex called and asked me if sm could cut it (she cuts hair for a living) and I told him to go for it.... and to never feel like they to call and ask me if sm can cut her hair... sm does a better job than the Great Clips that I take bd to and bd LOVES when sm cuts her hair..... YES, I miss the gorgeous long hair.... but we're talking about hair here.... pick your battles.... I wouldn't have given bm the option.... would have just cut it!
