NWR Vent-- Long

NWR Vent-- Long

I havent been on as much as I would like b/c I have been losing my mind lately with work and other issues. But I really need to vent -- always makes me feel better.

Some of you know, FH has two kids. He has custody of them -- which says a lot about the mother. I have never gotten along with her, but have tried really hard to keep the peace. A bit of background, she doesnt pay a dime towards supporting her kids and is rarely involved in their school and extracurricular activities. Her only responsibility is to watch them on Tues and Thurs -- as I work from home the other days of the week.

For the last 3 weeks she has refused to watch them-- claiming she hurt her foot (lame excuse for neglecting your kids). We have been getting sitters, asking family members and I have been staying home more than usual to make sure someone was with the kids. This week she was supposed to start watching them again -- and low and behold she refuses last night! I texted her -- explaining that she was really screwing me over. She still refused to watch them. Whatever, I managed to work from home in the morning and get someone to watch them in the afternoon. But I was totally inconvenienced and stressed about meeting work deadlines.

Moving on...I get to cheerleading with FH's daughter tonight and she was there with her beast of a cousin. I couldnt help myself and when she walked by me I said...'oh, I guess your foot is fine now.' She flipped out over this words were said....and her cousin went to attack me!! FH had to jump in the middle to prevent her from hitting me!

Then FH's daughter wasnt participating and kept walking off the field. I took her by the hand and told her she needed to go back and practice. The mother starts screaming that I better not touch her child. I was mortified, she was making such a scene.

I am irrate right now. This woman does nothing other than babysit her kids -- and then throw it in our face as if she is doing us a favor. She then complains that I do too much with her kids! I literally have been running around like a chicken without a head lately trying to manage a full-time career and getting the kids to and from where they need to be (summer school, camp sports etc) -- while she has been sitting home!!! Yes, sitting home. She doesnt even have a job!!

I almost wish she would have hit me tonight, so I could have pressed charges. She would have never been able to make bail!!

Thans for listening. My life sounds like a soap opera sometimes. I hope FH appreciates how much I love him -- because my life was so drama free before him LOL

awww i'm so sorry!!!! unfortunately people like that will never change.

fh's mother is the same way. his parents got divorced while he was young and his father got full custody. same exact situation as yours, she never paid a dime, never took him when she was suppose too and gave his stepmother the hardest time. she is still this way. so i wish i could say people change but they don't. fh's stepmother is still living with it.

you think she would be kissing the ground you walk on to have you be taking care of her kids.
if you dont mind me asking how come she doesnt pay child support? Doesnt she realize how this act is going to affect her children?! sorry you had to deal with that.

sorry you have to deal with this but at the same time I'm sure you mean alot to those kids since their mother is such an absentee parent. I know it is easier said than done but try not to let her get to you and do the best you can with what you have to work with

You are a really good person and I believe your FH knows how much you appreciate and love him. The fact that you are there to take care of his children as if they are your owns says a lot about who you are. It is also nice that his daughter has a strong female like yourself to look up to since she has an absentee mother. Don't let that nasty, jealous ex wife get you down. Hope today is a better day for you.

I am so sorry
I wish you could just cut ties with her. She is hurting her children so much, it would be better off if she just stayed out of the picture.

I feel horrible that you have to deal with this and that psycho excuse of a 'mother'......

Just know that deep down, the kids and FH know how much you do for them and you mean the world to them because without you, they wouldn't have that mother figure in their life....


Hang in there hun!

Thanks, Girls. I feel better -- after reading all of this and some sleep. You're all right -- she's not going anywhere -- so hopefully I can find some way to accept that she is a useless human being. It just gets on my nerves that she runs around town telling everyone, including FH's family, that I am pushing her out of her kids' life. It's such a joke -- she is pushing them out herself. And the sad thing, they think she is great. I guess in time they will realize what a piece of trash she is.

soo sorry that you have to deal with this, just know that when the kids get older they will finally realize what their mother did and know that it wasn't right and they will appreciate everything that you have done for them

She sounds like a pretty terrible woman. I am sorry you ALL have to go through it. You are very strong for being able to take on all that mess. I am sure your FH appreciates you and and knows how much you love him.

Sorry there is no way to make the situation better for now, but know in the future the kids will remember all you are doing for them and know she was not around as she should be. That day will come and it will all be worth it.

Stay Strong!
