[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 462565, member: 6705"] I know exactly how you feel. Whenever we go to visit O, or she comes to visit us (usually this is when bio's friend is taking both kids to lunch, she picks up O first, O comes in, hugs and then goes and gets "something" from her room) - she wants something. When Mom & I took her to lunch, it was her iPod (which she had, she just wanted to be able to use it all the time, and was at that time grounded from it, but had it anyway); when we all went to the drive-in movie, she wanted MONEY; when I visited her once at FM's, she wanted money AND more of "her" stuff. She's not the least bit interested in actually [I]visiting[/I] - she wants stuff, or to get out of the house (she informed J she hated bio's friend but it was a way to get out...), or whatever SHE wants. I'd visit. Sans gameboy. And if/when he is rude and nasty? End of visit. I don't see the point in warning him about your choices. They are YOUR choices. But then, I'm "only" a stepmom... And I [I]have[/I] been there done that. [/QUOTE]
