I am 14 days into a month long stay! This has been way worse than I could of anticipated. The children have seen the devil come out of me several times and they mostly know that I mean business but yet bm still finds away to mess with us. How? She sent sd5 over with lice and did not tell us!!! I thought one time at the mall that I had seen lice but I was not about to stop in the middle of the mall and do a head check, I soon forgot about it and told myself bm is awful but there is no way!

I actually had a great weekend with the skids and made my best effort for dh's sake. This weekend I made sure I went above and beyond my call of duty as a sm to make the skids feel more comfortable, which made dh happy. I feel that bm is trying to alienate the skids from dh. The skids acted different this weekend, well mainly sd9 (who I love and adore). It breaks my heart that she spent the weekend whining and complaining how her mom's house is better and being a stuck up snob wanting to know how much stuff cost.

I feel like I say this a lot, but I don't get it. Today we are supposed to pick up the skids and of course bm is causing trouble. Her latest? Since dh wants to follow the visitation to a t she will not be sending clothes with them. So she is going to refuse clothes to her kids because the little brat didn't get her way? She has been trying to get dh to give up this weekend ever since he would not take the kids on Mother's Day. WTF, woman? I wish I could punch you in the face!!!

I would like to start by saying I care for my skids. They are not all that bad but it is a growing and learning process for all involved (that story will change the next time I get mad and they become demon spawns again). My biggest fear is ending up with full custody. There are three of them and I hope my fears are unfounded and I hope someone can tell me that the bm hasn't done anything too bad to lose custody (she probably hasn't but I need my mind at ease).
