You know how when someone annoys you/bothers you (ahem, you can't stand them!), EVERY LITTLE THING they do drives you nuts? This is how I feel about BM. It's like there are these little things she does that in itself is really not a big deal....but all these little things add up to the MOUNTAIN of evidence that she only cares of #1 (herself, of course!).

Basically, I reallyyyyy wish these things didn't get to me. How do I stop that? How do I just let go of them and let them roll off my back when they happen? Advice?

Last week we asked BM if we could do a joint birthday party at Chuckie Cheese or something. She said "Um, that'd be awkward." FDH said, "Get over this already." and she said she'd think about it. We see her almost every day at daycare pick up/drop off. It's not like we don't interact with her on a regular basis. And she demanded to come to our house and hold my baby when he was born. How was THAT not awkward for her but this would be?

If you've followed my backstory, please read on. If you haven't, you might be confused. FYI we are on week #3 of moving to an EOW schedule, which is more days a week than our stipulation says. It is 23 days til our wedding, and we have a 6 month baby. SD6 is not FDH's child.

Email from me to BM:
Hey there,

I just wanted to give you a heads up because I'm fairly certain that FDH hasn't talked to you about our issue with next week. He's trying to work it out but by the time he figures stuff out, it will be really late notice for you.

We have been keeping track of days when BM is supposed to have her kids but ships them off to grandma's or has a babysitter so she can go out (she only has the skids 50% of the time so why does she need to go out on her days with them?). On Friday I go to pick up BS and SS3 because we have him for the weekend.
