How do you make someone be a parent?

This past weekend was weekend for our kids to be with their other parents (my ex-husband and my husband's ex-wife). Apparently it was also the weekend for opening our mouths and saying stupid, hurtful stuff!

My ex-husband told my kids to leave their ball clothes there and he would wash them and drop them off Monday morning. Well, he didn't. So they didn't have their uniforms for Monday practice, which meant they had to run because that is the rule. He knows he never remembers this stuff! Why not just send it home dirty and I will take care of it! I always do! But no, his soon-to-be wife is always trying to play mom with them. They are almost teenagers. It isn't like being a stepmom to kids who are little or even stepmom to kids who have a crappy mom. They were so mad at him last night.

But not to be outdone...my stepkids mom....who told her oldest son he is the reason she didn't get to go to college. Now, mind you, you pretty much have to be decided by midway through your senior year if you want to go to college out of high school. He was born 16 months after she graduated. Do the math. Unless you are an elephant, you were not pregnant when you decided not to go to college. AND, even if you were, it isn't the kids fault you got knocked up!

No wonder the kid hates his mom. Everything is his fault!

GRRRRRRR!
