Note to BM - becareful what you say infront of a 6 year old
I know that SS6 loves to talk, so I make it a point to only say things in front of him that I want BM to know and/or don't care if she hears.
I was watching SS6 today for BM after school, like I have been since I got laid off. Well SS6 was getting his shoes on BM handed me a check since I won't be able to watch him the rest of the week, and hell yeah I am having her pay me to baby sit. She asked if a check was okay or if she needed to pay me cash, adding that she didn't want to mess up my unemployment. Of course BF and I never said that I had gotten laid off but BM had found out when I tried to 'claim' the baby sitting as income - my mistake I know. But I just blew it off and told her a check was fine.
Well... SS6 chimes in with "Mom shouldn't have to pay you." BM started stuttering and was like, "don't say that hunny." I just laughed and said, "Well Christmas is coming don't you want me to have money?" She smiled and was all excited.
Then on they way out the door I said my bye and BM told me to have a good time on my 'trip'. I said 'I will'. She doesn't need to know EVERYTHING about me, BF just told her that i couldn't watch him because I had plans with my mother, it's a thing we do every year.
But before I got laid of we were playing her new MIL (SS6's new step-grandma) to watch the boys, tell me what is the difference? I am not even officially their step-mom yet. And he LOVEs to tell SS6 that I am NOT his mother

Yep that is my rule. If BF
Yep that is my rule. If BF is not here and it's just me then she has to pay me, and it's not a lot either, it's $10 bucks a day for about an hour, some times 2. It covers my time and a light snack.
It's just funny because she tells SS6 that I am not his mother, never will be and to always call me by name. Not that I care what he calls me (I am pro choice). But the minute she needs something I am the world greatest step mom. That last time she txt'ed me that I txt'ed back - I am not their step mom. lol (at least not officially yet any way)
Of course you also have to take what a 6 year old says with a grain of salt. He has told BM that BF and I are getting married, engaged, having a baby, getting a kitten, moving, I play video games for a living... ect. All of which is not 100% true, but we have talked about all of those things in front of him at some point I am sure. And yes some times I do it just to mess with her, because she believe everything he says and freaks out about it
I do however believe that she said that about me getting paid because the look on her face was priceless.
