Never met BM. I don't think I want to
I never met the BM yet and after last night I'm pretty sure I'm NOT going to be rushing into it cause her two remarks were a bit too sarcastic for me.
About a week ago, BM was texting and calling FDH's cell throughout the day. She text him in the evening after she called and he didn't answer and said, "Why the heck aren't you answering?" He responded with something like, "I don't think it's fair to my future wife that I constantly talk to my ex." She said she wouldn't call again. Don't know if she ever did though. I snooped into his phone to see if they were talking. Before I go further, a week before Halloween my FDH asked me if I wanted to go Trick or Treating with his kids and I said no because I go with my twin niece's and their mom plus I wasn't thrilled of the idea of meeting the BM. On the 30th, day before Halloween, she text him and said remark #1, "I wanted to remind you Halloween starts at 6 because you probably forgot already. I guess you can be "future wife" but that would just mean I'd have to pass out candy instead." I busted out laughing when I see the future wife in quotes and at that point I wasn't sure if she was being sarcastic or bitchy sarcastic. He didn't respond or he deleted the response. Then she says something later on that day about if he was going to the dance thing for his kids, he said, "I can't." He told me on the ride home after Trick or Treating that she asked him when we were getting married. He told her no date was set yet which is true. Then he was on his phone texting and she says remark #2, "I thought SHE didn't like it when you text people..." He says, "I'm texting her.." and goes back to texting me. My first reaction was, "Wow.. sarcastic bitch much?" ANd I told a friend of mine and she felt the same way and said I should avoid her for now cause she sounds a bit bitchy.
I think I'll avoid her.. defintely. I don't need baby mama drama quite yet.
You'd call that full on
You'd call that full on bitchy? I have to learn quickly. haha. Whew.. I guess I should prepare myself for her curiosity. I don't know whether to think it was jealousy or territorial or both. I was thinking she might have thought of saying to me if I was there, "YOU can't tell MY ex-husband what to do!" I guess she's gotten bitchy because I got more strict with the hundreds of texts they send back and forth. It got ridiculous.
goforit, I hope she doesn't become the mean spirited, vengeful bitch your DH's ex is but I'm starting to think we might end up having something in common down the road.
So I guess later on down the road I might have my hands full with this one.. *sigh*..
Oh, Rhyleighblue, I literally could picture what you said you were saying to the kids. It made me laugh a little!
Yeah...That's fully
Yeah...That's fully bitchy...
and if it makes you feel better about your choice not to meet her, I've never met BM...It's been 5 years (and DH and I have been married for 3 years)...I have no intention...or desire...She's a non-factor...
I wanted to meet BM when I
I wanted to meet BM when I moved from out of state but after living with my BF - there is no reason in HELL to ever meet her. NO reason - it has been made VERY clear to my BF that I will never get involved with "their" parenting of "their" children. I have no desire, need or want to ever meet that fat, unhappy hag!
I would recommend for all -
Do tell, how do so many of
Do tell, how do so many of you manage to avoid BM? Don't you get the constant guilt trip for your guy about attending skid's school events, sports etc? I manage to avoid almost all of it, but not 100%...and there she is. Or she shows her ugly face when she drops skid off, or she makes it a point to leave all of the crap that skid forgets from her house on our front porch. I have to peek out the door to make sure she isn't there before I open it! I know she does everything to keep tabs on us and remind us that the wicked witch isn't dead. BUT, I would love to know how you avoid ALL of skid activities without making your man mad. Come to think of it, my fiance spends his life at skid events, so if I never went with him, I would never see him. Stinks either way.
I DON"T want the drama. When
I DON"T want the drama. When my BF has issues with BM or more drama - I listen. I don't comment, give advice or get upset. Their parenting issues/money/money/money is to much for me to handle. I have my own issues to deal with. I was told early on when I moved here that BF didn't want me to attend his kids events because he didn't want to upset them. FINE! NO problem. I was disappointed, hurt and now I just don't care which is probably worse. He obviously is having his own issues blending us all together in his own head. I have no desire, want or need to meet, talk or look at her. I want nothing to do with his ex and eventually I won't want anything to do with him either if he doesn't change his ways. It takes two open minded, respectful, calm people to co-parent and if one person is not on board.....DRAMA. Life is way to short to be unhappy. I give this whole blended family fantasy 9 more months of my life and I'm GONE.
