[QUOTE="Shari, post: 496205, member: 1848"] Amen, Witz, and while I gripe incessantly here about cgfg's mother and DEX's girlfriend? Never to the kiddos. In fact, cgfg is pretty down on her mom right now, and I won't allow her to say things such as "I hate her". When difficult child 1 was young, I made one off-hand remark while his bio was in jail. difficult child 1 has never said anything about it. He probably was too young to get it. But I still feel bad about it. I made the comment that she had a job making license plates. I've lost my cool once with Wee after he'd spent days carrying on about it being my fault his dad wasn't around, how I kept him from his dad, etc (the vomit the girlfriend spews). I finally lost it and told him to call his brother and ask what kind of dad they had. The example shared was when dad was outright violent to difficult child 1. The sad part is, it got thru to Wee and he hasn't brought up disney dad since. And I still hate that I told cgfg about child support, but I still don't know what else to have done. Her mom wouldn't let her bring her roller blades here so she could roller blade with my mom and Wee, as "mom bought them, if I need some here, dad has to buy them cause he doesn't buy me anything". It was an ongoing thing, so I finally explained dad gives mom money to pay for housing, food, clothes, etc. So he doesn't buy her 'nothing'. And even in our chat last night, there was some discussion nephew and his previous habit of driving drunk (heck, he still does). Cgfg's mom said she'd told cgfg when she was with nephew recently to call if nephew had been drinking, then felt the need to point out that her dad was pretty good at driving drunk back in the day, too. What point did that serve? But she does it all the time... Anyway, sorry...didn't mean to carry on. But yes, I don't get why people can't just get along. [/QUOTE]
