StepMom Mantra of the Week

"Noone has the right to make plans that affect my life without my consent."

Cinderella starts day camp in two weeks.
A camp that BioMom promised Cinderella she could attend this summer without discussing it with Hubby or Me.
A camp that BioMom had written into the custody agreement back in January to ensure Cinderella would go.
A camp that runs for 4 weeks, for only 4 hours a day and costs $1000.
A camp that Hubby was ordered to pay for half.
A camp that we cannot afford and now The Boy has lost out on any chance for summer activities.
A camp for which I was the ASSumed chauffeur.
This last fact evidenced by BioMom's response to Hubby asking if she can handle transporting Cinderella to and from our Home:
That's the job of a Stay-At-Home-Mom.
OH YES.
She did.

Oh no she didn't! I'd be on the phone in a heartbeat saying, "Sorry. Thanks to you, my son can't do any summer activities. So I shall be busy taking him to the park or the library or whatever I can find to entertain him. Transporting the Princess isn't in my marriage vows."

daionara: Excellent point. I like that tactic. I've just been avoiding having any contact with her this past week b/c I knew that I would not be as tactful. :)

Oh how frustrating! I can believe it though because it sounds exactly like what the biomom in my life is like.

I'd say, "I'm sorry I will not be able to take Cinderella. You should have asked if that would fit into my schedule before you made these arrangements." Witch!

I just found this blog and have been a SM for almost 8 years. I have to say it is nice to know that I am not alone. I just went back a little and am trying to catch up on the blog and saw this! It is funny to be how many of us SM's are so similiar and we all have BM's to deal with that are WITCHES!
