The toast blog got me reminiscing. Do you remember:

Stepmomfromhell - the super young gold digger with butlers whose uncle married her step daughter.

(sisterwife) - ok, that wasn't her actual username. This chick essentially lived with the bm who continued to act as a wife to the dh/so.

What have been some of your fav. story lines? And yes, I believe some if not most of these stories were fabricated.

She was a member for a short time with seemingly usual issues at first, then she decided to try disengaging, then all hell broke loose. Each one of her posts was more out landish than the last. It ended in her SD (who I think she said was 3???) kicking her dog down the stairs and killing it. Then she changed her pic to one of "her" dog. There was a huge outpouring of support and I beleive some people may have even sent her money.

Turns out one of the other users on here was familiar with that particular breed of dog and recognized crew's dog as one that was used for advertisement. Crew got called out on in not being her dog, then someone pointed out that those dogs get pretty large, and it'd have to be an enormous 3 year old to be able to kick it with enough force for it to fall down the stairs. People started pointing out other huge holes in her story, and then her blog dissapeared.

Which is why crew is now a verb in this community. (i.e. "I think we're being crewed.")

Ohhhh yeahhh I read an Admin post about it(the F word site(idk how else to say it lol)) and how anyone participating would be banned immediately, etc. I was wondering what that was all about. Thanks for explaining.

Good for you. }:) So, how did you guys find out they were doing that on the other site? You can msg me if you want, idc. Just weird unless they announced they were from the other site during their tirades. Hope they didnt succeed with anyone!

Why would these people even care?? Lol I don't even get it.

What about the one with the 2 SD's who were told by BM that their dad was dead??? But he was just in an accident and it took a super long time for them to adjust to that because no one would just tell the SD's that the dad was fine. They hated the SM and one of them ripped out her earring? I think those are the same story anyway..what ever happened with that one?

I think I remember the one with BM still living with the couple, wasn't it in their parents house?

What about the SM who had to move into BM's home?

Mom and dad were together. They broke up and he started dating SM. They broke up and he went back to BM. They had another kid, broke up and he went back to SM.

While living with BM, the parents treated SM like the Nanny/maid.

How about the SM that wanted it to be okay to spank her infant/toddler skids. I believe one was disabled. The skids live with maternal GP's. SM and the BD wanted custody. It was a mess. She was a fricking control freak and we all hoped that they wouldn't get custody.

She was cuckoo for cocoa puffs and is the reason people think all SMs are evil.

She pops in pretty often. Always with a new name but the same crazy story.

Their court date is this month. I'm sure she'll pop in soon to lie about winning.

I remember one of her crazy blogs around HALLOWEEN. She was excited because she was about to do CHRISTMAS crafts with one of the boys.

I was using the term "vegetable" to describe what the doctors said when he was born he would be for his life, if he lived, without going into too much detail about his conditions. He is, thank goodness, a lot further along skill wise than they ever thought he would be. Truly a miracle child. And since we have twins, it was the healthy one that was playing and wearing the PJs I described.

We can afford it, actually. We bring in $1000 a week with both of our jobs(my stay at home job for a car rental company and his career which has benefits). Have been doing more than okay since October, when we got the income coming in. DH had been promised the job since that May 2012 so we were just waiting on that to come in.

The disabled one, we had no intention of spanking. I was asking if it could be put into an order that I have no ability to punish(which included spanking) when there was no proved reason for it, seeing as how the kid has never been spanked in his life. We were just curious and I was wondering if any of you SPs had come across BM threatening to put it into an order. Ours has not, again, we were just asking.

And Disneyfan,

I made the post about Halloween because it was on Halloween. We were only allowed to get him during the early part of the day so there were no Halloween events going on in our town. Not one. So, we gave him some candy, made cookies, and let him pick out a craft he wanted to do-which was a Christmas craft.

I have yet to display any characteristic of a control freak. This is somewhere I wanted to ask a question(about the experiences of others if they had BMs who had made it into the CO that they could not punish their SC, even without proved reason) and also where I thought I could share the positive things that happened with us and the kids. Instead, the positive posts(like that Halloween/Christmas one) were picked apart. I said we were taking SS to the beach for his first beach trip and that we would try to teach him how to swim-In a pool not the ocean-and I was picked apart for that. It just makes no sense why a lot of you would not just let me say what I felt, just as you say how you feel, and express what was going on with us and the kids. I read things on here and you guys have a lot of the same issues that we are going through. Just does not make sense or seem fair. I wanted and still want to be able to be open about everything on here and not be persecuted. We aren't outrageous people... We aren't argumentative...

I noticed her writing style has improved since the Fall. Seems like they spent some of their hard earned cash on a copy of Grammar for Dummies.

I have always had proper grammatical structure, well, ever since about 7th grade. The internet is where abbreviations are made and people type the fastest way possible. Some are anal about punctuation and grammar online, but I am not. I have seen numerous users who shorten things more than I and they go without persecution. But, I guess I'm just special in the eyes of a few of you. Would like that to not be the case. Everyone deserves to be themselves and speak freely on here without being attacked. I never started anything with any user. They all came to me and hammered it on hard-with every post I made, regardless of the topic.

Well fortunately, I am not on this site for you, Echo. And, if you truly did not care, then you would leave me alone and not bombard me with patronizing, hateful comments trying to poke fun at me every time I make a post. So, feel free to contradict yourself some more.

Yes, I was "pissed off". But I did not say a word to them. And who wouldn't be mad? Because the disabled child would have to meet out in public to see me(us) now. The fact the only place he is allowed to see us is at Burger King. Not our home. Burger King. Not once did I argue or cause confrontation. That was them. As it always is. Not one single time have I started an argument with them.

My story has never changed. Words were put in my mouth, or they were attempted to be put in there, but nothing else.

The Ex has no visitation because she lives with them. And DH's visitation is not at the behest of the GPs. They are going against what the CO says by not allowing him to act with his visitation rights, taking both of them for a time EOW.

We are going for custody, as you know. Hearing is this month, as you also know. And as for my posts, I know what I said and I know the things some users were saying and trying to put words in my mouth. Like you statement listed below:

the Grandparents have had sole custody of those children, that your DH and his ex's visitations were at the behest of the Grandparents. So what if he has to visit outside of his home and be supervised, he and his ex obviously did something that a judge deemed necessary to put that in writing.

It is false and an example of users making things up. Just as the statement that I want to spank our disabled son. I never once said that. Not once. And yes he gets to see them, is that a privilege? No. He has earned the right to have them for his visitation. Has never once thought about walking away and has always fought for them. He is a good father and is the ONLY ONE who has never tried to PAS the kids against BM or her parents. All three of them have done so and are continuing to do it presently.

You must have some real issues in your life on that topic. Keep trying to convince me and other SMs that come on here. They consider me a mother figure, and do not consider their BM one. Not my fault. Not my problem. But yes, I am their Mother. To me, the kids, DH, his family, and deep down BM and her family as well. Get THAT through your head Smile

I just had several scenes from the exorcist run through my head.

Or we can just contact a former co-worker of mine who performed a Native American smudging ceremony in my cube after hours. When asked why she did it, she responded with "to get rid of the evil spirits that are controlling Shaman.:

Yes it did.

I went to HR, who got their panties in a twist because the co-worker was Native American and they were worried about discrimination.

Hello Ms. Director of HR? She lit a braided rope of sweetgrass on fire, (I should note she spent the day waving it in my direction prior to the smudging). Sher performed a religious ceremony in my cube without my permission. I have witnesses and evidence. You're worried about a discrimination lawsuit? Try a civil rights lawsuit on for size.

What really ticked me off about it was we had our reviews about two months later. I was dinged 75% of my bonus for the fight with this co-worker. I never argued with her or confronted her. I went to my boss, who did nothing and then onto HR. Who also did nothing.

I'm not the suing type, though there are days I regret that decision. Instead I got a better job with a competitor, which started a grand exodus from my old company to my new one. Smile

Very insane.

She sought out a job here a few years ago. Told my manager (we both worked with him at the old place) there was a thing with Shaman but it's all okay now.

Fortunately, my manager doesn't like her either. Certainly would never voluntarily work with her again.

It doesn't pay to be bats**t crazy in the industry in which I work. It's big but incestuous, similar to 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Ahhhhhhhhh.....keep your sweetgrass to yourself!! Biggrin

Seriously though, she didn't give Native Americans a bad name in my book. She's like any nutburger who uses their faith as a reason to act crazy. It could have been any religious ceremony, it still would have pissed me off.

Honestly, this person is nuttier than a squirrel turd.

One I remember was Butter something. She had like a 12 year old diabetic ss who was supposedly a super smart overachieving kid with lots of money and a wealthy bm. The kid started out sounding pretty darn good, but as time went on he was starving himself, not taking his meds, cutting himself, locking himself in his room and they all just continued to cater to the kid. Butter ended up pregnant and then that was a huge debate of how to tell him, dont want to upset him. I believe at some point some of her dates of her pregnancy were sounding a bit fishy to some people and people started confronting her. She disappeared not long after that.

I remember she posted after having her baby, however nothing since. Then again, she has a newborn, a toddler and was basically the only caregiver for her SS. I hope it's just a case of having her hands full.

Agree, I have seen it on here many times. Sad people get chased off. Didn't hear her story but I hope SS's father started taking control and helping. How can you love someone and make them deal with all of that alone? I think that is exactly what most of us think(or thought) in the beginning of being a SM. You love your SO too much to let him do it on his own. You WANT to help. Up until if/when that BP stops trying, himself. Then you make yourself step away.

I have been on this site (with a few different usernames) since 2006. I have seen a lot of unbelievable stories. I never know what to believe anymore.

I remember a very very long time ago, there was a poster who came on to talk about her stepdaughter. The BM was in jail, she and her DH had primary custody (obviously) but the little girls grandparents on the BM's side pushed for "grandparents rights". Apparently, the grandfather and an uncle I think it was, were molesting the little girl.

There was a big campaign started, we wrote letters to Senators and Governors and all sorts of politcal types. I think someone even attempted to get a hold of Dr Phil for help. It was a sad story and I don't recall ever hearing an outcome because I left for a few months and came back in the midst of all of it.

I certainly hope that wasn't made up, a lot of people put in a lot of time and effort in to helping that family.
