So, DH still has the car he had when he was married to BM. She and her family are the only reason he bought that car in the first place, her dad works at the car sales place, and convinced him to get this car and another for BM.

SS11 said something this weekend that really showed me that these kids just don't understand much.

We were talking about baby stuff - esp books - that they have here, that was kept for a long time, that my baby now uses. He pipes up that they had a lot more and it was given away - books, toys, clothes, our big house...

THE BIG HOUSE, huh?

Last semester the kids did terribly in school. DH took a turn on them and insisted on them bringing grades up. In addition, he paid a visit to SS's school and had a conference with the teacher. Teacher did not even know that SS's parents are divorced, and that he's with mom only during the week. At that point, teacher said SS needed to focus more, do his HW and turn in assignments. He had not turned in assignments for 6 weeks for one subject! DH also gave BM a piece of his mind because of this.

SO sent an email asking for copies of receipts that BM paid for doctor's visit and medicine, and she replies all in a huff because she threw them away, and thinks he should just pay ALL of whatever number she calls instead of his half.

According to the insurance records too, she lied about the amount paid, but she'll probably be able to get the doctor to write her a receipt for the amount she's claiming since she's known the doctor for a long time.
