Let's talk double standards

MommyMayI's picture

Let's share some of the double standards we experience with the bms in our lives.
My most recent experience occurred tonight. Dh went to ss's practice. Of course bm had to talk to dh as she always does when I am not around. She admitted that she will not be attending this weekend's game nor will she be attending team pictures. Each kid is only given one picture packet, so bm would have to go to the pictures to get her own packet. She asked dh nicely and batted her eyes and flaunted her tits and asked him if he could take care of this for her. Either we send her the packet or she can send us the money to fill out the packet. I know what you are thinking. So what? No big deal. Normally I would agree with you. Except tomorrow is picture day at ss's school. Ss only gets one packet and it's bm's day so she got it. Did she offer to help us? No! So now I get to drive twenty minutes out of the way at 7 in the morning, on my day off, with my two toddlers to fill out the picture packet. Dh says he doesn't want anything from her anyways, but he isn't the one running around all over town. I told him he can help her out but I will not be turning in her money and I will not be taking any responsibility of her sports pictures. They both can suck it. Vent over.

BM says I'm not a stepmom, I didn't raise the skids and am not a mother to them. I'm just their fathers SO (Yes, I know lots of SMs on here think that's perfect I'm not the SM, I'm the wife. But that doesn't work for me, I like the label Step, it defines where we all fit in this family.)

However, she constantly calls her sons GF her daughter from another mother. I'm good friends with the GFs mother and we had a good laugh about it. She said the next time she sees it on social media she's going to call her out on it. I would love to see BMs face if she did but told her it would only stir up shit and cause problems.

It is acceptable for SF and BM to give Chucky hidings, send him to bed without food, withhold gaming etc but if SO/ I gives time out or SO raises his voice he is a bad parent and is told he must treat SS like he is autistic and not a normal child.

It's a do as I say and not as I do view. And really? You didn't get the memo that says must plant AS and water. Hopefully a potato grows? I am being incredibly sarcastic. Since Jabba got her diagnosis she has essentially relegated that child to the vegetable patch and has her excuse for how he is.

These kinds of views drive me insane! There are limitations but I believe they can lead a productive full life if we just let them. It's a name, not a person or a way to excuse life norms.

child support is definitely dumbass' double standard.

dh got a few hundred behind due to getting laid off. she threatened to have his license suspended and all that. he found a new job and got it caught up within two months i think. he paid her 700/m and ate ramen noodles and dented canned goods. he even once ran out of gas in his driveway.

how much has SHE paid in child support for the last TWO YEARS we've had them full time? NOT. A. DIME.
