[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 593730, member: 6705"] 2006... Jett comes home with a pipe-cleaner-and-construction-paper vase and flowers. Gives it to me with a huge hug. Then tells me he has to take it to bio too. (He forgot, but ugh.) Similar in 2007, only we get a late visit from the cops because bio says we beat Onyxx, followed by CPO, court, etc. 2008, his teacher gets smart and he makes two things - one for each of us... Somehow bio's vanishes before they go to her house and Onyxx makes a huge deal about how he didn't care and lost it (methinks she trashed it so she could look good). 2010, he colludes with my Mom to get me roses from a school fundraiser... She and he agree that if he wants to get some for bio, he will ask stepfather for money... The roses come in... Stepfather of course didn't pony up... Jett tells me I have to share. So I split the dozen into threes - 3 for mother in law, 3 for my mom, 3 for bio... He forgets them. 2011, the day is forgotten entirely by Jett but oddly remembered by Onyxx... Right before everything goes pfft. I just got really tired of sharing "my" stuff, ya know? I'd have been happy to help out getting/making something for bio if my efforts hadn't been blown off. I busted my rear for them. Still do. If I hear from Onyxx at all I might keel over from shock. This year I'm hosting a cookout "in honor of the mothers" for Mom, niece, sister in law and myself. Yeah, I'll end up doing much of the work, but maybe it'll impress on Jett and Meggie. What do I want? A completely clean house. [/QUOTE]
