Long, sorry. Latest BM drama / Why he called me by her name.... SIGH
With a newborn, I don't have much time to blog anymore, and I'm trying to focus on MY kids mostly, and DH is being awesome with them, so I don't have much to blog about anyway. However, he called me by the ex's name once again and I'm feeling so shitty inside. He has apologised, he has explained, but I still feel tremendously shitty. We are having some drama with BM, and he was thinking about the situation and what he should do etc and called me her name by mistake.
FB dilema, among other things.....
I feel like strangling my husband. Not because of anything he did per se, but because he's the reason I have so little control over certain aspects of my life.
Update:
BM has a new bf who apparently has moved in with her. Good timing for her, since she no longer has a job. Said bf has taken a keen interest in SS11, and does a lot of stuff with him. However, boyfriend (and BM) totally ignore SD13, and she gets sent to her room to watch TV etc.

Why did I marry a Teddy Bear who was married to a Shark?????
I hate for these little things to get my blood boiling and throw me off track. I was having such a good day today.
Anyway, DH just let me know that he will be making himself available to pick up the kids at ex-in-laws (since BM insisted - she has to leave earlier than planned for her weekend get away).
I'm so mad that MY husband bends over to accomodate her.
Yes, doesn't paint a very pretty picture, does it?
My husband bending. Ex-wife blanktey blanking.
I. Am. Trying. Very. Hard. To. Understand.
I'm mad too.
So guess whose job is gone? Yup BM. The person she was "care-taking" died. And she's so devastated that she needs a "get-away" long weekend, and wants me to have the kids an extra day that they are off from school. Yes - me specifically - because she knows DH has to work, including the weekend. I figure she's taking the weekend to plan her strategy on how to get more money out of DH. Great timing too, with baby coming soon.

BM is blocked from DH's FB but messages him through SD's FB account
I am now finding this out. BM used SD's FB account to msg DH.
Started with "Hi, this is X" then talked about how they will manage SD's FB usage and ends with "I dunno why've you've blocked me on FB, I already know what you look like ;)"
DH actually replied to the part about SD, saying that it would be "awesome!!!" if he knew her password and could monitor her usage as requested by BM, but no response about blocking her.
Update to DH and ex-in-laws!! My MIL's views!
Just spoke to my MIL (DH's mom). She says to let her know if DH ever steps a foot in the ex-in-laws' house because that will be it, she and his father are prepared to write him off! :jawdrop: She said she would be sorry for me and my children the day that ever happened because we are innocent in this whole thing, but that she'd have nothing to do with her son if he chooses to socialize with these people who have never ever supported him, done him so many wrongs and cannot be trusted. And she made it very clear that she does not want my kids going to the ex-in-laws' house either.

DH and his ex-in-laws
Well, I wrote about it on a forum post, but it sure did come to life this weekend!
Recap: On Fri, when DH called BM to confirm drop off time, BM's mom got on the phone with DH and asked why they don't see him, why he doesn't call them, why they haven't met our daughter or seen pictures of her, etc. He got a nice lecture on the fact that "they are still family", "for the sake of the kids", yadda, yadda, yadda.

Actions speak louder than words - I deleted BM's picture from DH's phone.
So DH got a new phone for work, one of those smart phones. It's so smart and connected that it links everything, so somehow it automatically linked a picture of BM to her phone number (from email or FB or somewhere, even though she's blocked on email chat and FB).
It was annoying me. I'm one of those who will pick up his phone and look through it, and he knows it, doesn't like it, but accepts it. He's also welcome to go through my phone anytime. Anyway, so this picture, all jazzed up of course, wasn't really adding much to my life other than annoyance.
Stepkids and FB passwords
So SD got her FB back but mom had the password. This meant she couldn't use it at our house. Then BM gave DH the password so that he can log SD on when she's at our house. But she asked him not to give it to anyone because things like that should be between the two of them only.
I kinda get it. Kinda, but not really. It feels like DH and BM partnering up and leaving me out completely. It feels like they are having secrets together, and this just isn't a good feeling.

How many DHs feel this way? or have done it this way?
So during a discussion, DH says that he is just biding his time until the kids turn 18. As soon as his legal obligation to pay CS to BM for the kids, he wants to send her a "Have a nice day and F*** off!" card, and has zero intention of speaking to her unless totally necessary. He says the kids should be old enough by then to communicate directly with him, and if they choose to have nothing to do with him because of the need to choose their mom's side, then he is fine with that.
