Some "women" - RANT

He's counting the days

Can't say that I blame him AT ALL!!

When I paid my last child support check, I was ecstatic that I didn't ever have to deal with my ex or his wife again. They made my life a living hell.

My daughter got married a year ago. I was happy for her, but could not WAIT for it to be over. They told my future son-in-law that if I was invited to the rehearsal dinner, they wouldn't pay for the reception. Was I hurt and angry, you better believe I was. My brother was very pissed off. He told me to pick the most expensive restaurant, anywhere I wanted to go, bring my BFF (whose daughter was in the wedding party) and have dinner on him. When asked why I wasn't at the rehearsal dinner by some of the wedding party, I told them I wasn't invited. They told me that was utter BS. While they were having greasy pizza, I was having filet mignon!!! But unlike them and their childish behavior, I carried myself very well the whole day. We basically ignored each other. During the rehearsal, the JP asked if my ex's wife and I wanted to walk back down the aisle together, since my ex was in the wedding party. I said, "Sure, why not??" This biatch said VERY curtly, "I'd rather have my son walk me back down the aisle." When pictures were being taken, it was payback time!!! The photographer would ask for the Mother of the Bride and SHE was step up. The photog said, "No, the MOTHER OF THE BRIDE!!" I took such pleasure in that. Looking at the wedding pictures, she was dressed like a "frump" and hardly smiled in any of the pictures.

Your grandson is very lucky to have you, his Dad and stepmom. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Believe me, I know EXACTLY what you're going through.

My granddaughters other grandmother is the same way with her kids, my daugters boyfriend gets so upset with her and now upset about her not being interested in her grandchildren I don't understand why people like that have children. I just tell him its her loss and she drinks too much so we wouldn't want her driving the babies anywhere anyway.

That does stink Pom--Be happy that you and his real family are the ones he will be spending his birthday with. I can bet anything that he's secretly happy about it . I think celebrating with him and your granddaughter together will be a great occasion to remember. Bet you all have loads of fun, just put the other one on the shelf for that day. She just is not worth getting upset over, ignoring her will make your day and your grandson's day memorable if you dwell only on the love you all share.
Wish him and your granddaughter a huge Happy Birthday and take lots of pictures, something to be treasured forever.
You know that old saying " What goes around , comes around"-- just remember that it will someday.

I have the same complaint about my stepkids' mother. She ignored them, never sent them gifts or cards. I never met the woman face to face and am glad I haven't because she would have gotten a few choice words. The funny thing is she HAS gotten her payment. None of her kids want anything to do with her. The on who DID want to know her and forge a relationship now refers to her by her first name (and its said with bitterness) and he lets anyone know how he feeels about mommy dearest.

You always reap what you sow when it comes to loving a child. I could never understand how she didn't want to know her kids. They were all different, all good kids. Yeah, we had growing pains while they tried to figure out their way in life, but everyone does. She will never know her kids now. Nothing she will ever say or do will repair their relationship.
