Well - the drama continues. SD14 is a pain in the a**. I have been out walking the dog lately since the weather is more bearable and because BM chooses to live in the next subdivision over, I keep running into them. Last week SS12 almost hit my car driving their Golfcart. Two days ago she is running and stops in front of our house to talk to a neighbor. Last night, SD14 is on a golf cart with two of her friends and pass me walking the dogs. Which by the way one is her dog. It is 8:00pm on a school night. The first thing out of my mouth is "Homework all done" She says yes. I say okay and you don't have time to say hello to your Dad. She says no... and off they go. So I tell my husband and he doesn't say anything. Then this morning on Facebook she puts" Hanging with **** and run into all the wrong people. So I show DH and he yells at me for talking to her. I yell back that I am tired of continually running into his Ex and his kids everytime I leave this house. Now we are not speaking....

I never said a word to them about the other occurences lately. Just this time, I spoke. Should I have said anything, probably not. But, this girl is running around town with no consequences and I just know that she is going to end up back in our house because all hell will break loose with her mom.
Now for the last 6 months, she doesn't call or have anything to do with her Dad, the sight of her running around was too much. He has asked me not to talk negatively about her in front of him. Fine, I will, but I am tired of her putting him through hell. I just know he is going to have to be completely hurt to see what she has done. We have spent thousands of dollars trying to do what is right. Which would haven't been an issue, if we hadn't had a ton of work done on the house as well. Now DH is stressed over money as well. The BM causes all this hell and there just doesn't seem to be any drama for her. I want to move, but that will not happen until the last kid leaves for college.

I know I believe in Karma, I just want to know when SD and BM get theirs for putting all this on us.

Thanks I appreciate it. I am not sure what I should have done. Homework is none of my business. But, I am a mom and that is the first thing out of my mouth if the kids want to do something.
He says I should not have talked to her. In a normal situation what I said would have been fine. We haven't spoken to her in 5 months since he dropped her off at BM after they served us the papers for the CO Modification. After yesterday and the emails about the trip and BM not telling him earlier, I was seeing red. Then seeing her with her friends fooling around and she can't even say hello to me, I lost it. I am done with that kid. She treats all of us like trash. My son sees her everyday at school, he is tired of it as well.

She is on the sidewalk next to our house when this happens, she should be avoiding our neighborhood. They all should. I avoid theirs when walking the dog. Ugh!!

I agree. Don't let your DH talk you into thinking that you are some horrible person.

I don't care if this girl is your DHs daughter - he has no right telling you who you can or cannot talk to. That is verbally abusive and controlling behavior.

BM lives in the next subdivision over? That's got to suck.

Sorry to hear your DH is responding this way - I don't see where you did anything wrong.

Ok, I gotta ask. Do you really think this appropriate to ask about her homework after not talking to her for 5 months?!

I know my kids get annoyed with me when I ask about home work when they are doing something fun. I could not imagine not talking to my SM for months and the first thing she asks is about homework.

Did your DH tell you that you should not have talked to her or that you should not have started on her about homework?

Have you thought about moving? I hated being that close to BM. We lived a few blocks away for a while and it was yuky.

I shouldn't have said anything. I get that. But, the anguish that that child has caused is horrible. Now we spent the day making sure DH could see her grades online. BM had him deleted from the records. I have to drive since DH had foot surgery. He spent the day at a Parent teacher conference for SS where the BM shows up and tries to tell the teachers that SS has Auspergers or Tourettes or ADD. He has issues, but not this. She doesn't want to parent, she wants to label him. So if I said the wrong thing to SD, so be it. I can't say anything to BM, I can't say anything to SS, DH or anyone else.

So yes I said something I shouldn't have, but after almost being hit last week by BM while teaching SS to drive the golfcart. She was on the phone. Tuesday coming back from walking the dogs and she is jogging and stops to talk to the neighbor for twenty minutes in the road, so I can't even be in my yard. It was my last straw. My tipping point. She could at least have said hello or acknowledged her dog. The same dog she told her mom who told the lawyers that we threatened to kill when she left to go live with BM.

I want to move. Have asked DH. He says no. At some point (6 years) the last one leaves for college and this house will be sold. I want out of her house. We had a long talk at lunch today and I told him, then it will be my time and I am moving. He said it cost to much and we should wait until we retire. I told him no. We can find a smaller house nearby. If we still own my house, it would be perfect. We will see. But, I know I would like to stop running into ex-wives and children when walking the damn dogs.
