So after much debate (and apparently an inability to read a train schedule), Bear's ex wife has grudgingly agreed to come and pick the kid up for Christmas. *high fives self* Yay, I win!
But here's the kicker-she wants the kid to wait on the porch after she calls to say she's in town because, after coming into our house last year, she felt "judged and uncomfortable". So this year, she's not coming in.
?!?! Funny, I remember it the other way-I felt judged and uncomfortable in my own house. And we made an effort to be as welcoming as possible, since she wanted to come in and see the kid's room and stuff. When things are really bad for me anxiety-wise, my home is my refuge and I don't open it up to people easily. To let a woman who stresses me out to the degree that she does into my safe haven was a major concession. Oh, well. Typical. Very typical. She distances her own bad behaviour from herself by mentally flipping the situation around, so that she's the innocent party and the other people are guilty of her crimes.
I predict that the kid will come home miserable and grumpy, as always. Merry freaking Christmas.

You'd better buy her some awesome gifts then to make up for her biological mother's mistakes. :P
(Or just remind her of how lucky she is instead, lol)
LOL, she comes back and reminds us how lucky she is!
Last year or the year before, her grandmother wanted to use soy milk to make the mashed potatoes-instant mashed potatoes at that.
No one should have to endure a crappy Christmas dinner. That's just wrong!
Exes are a pain in the arse, most of the time - at least take comfort in that, LOL!
She's the one with issues, you're the one with the awesome family. So nerr! :-)
That's terrible. :(
Poor kidder.
TD-and I think that's most of her problem, really. He was supposed to be miserable forever instead of happy and doing well.
Prin-I know. Soy milk in the mashed taters!
Yep and just think if I had grown as a paycheck I mean person we might still be together (runs to bath room to hurl)
Yeah and I'm allergic to soy milk in the first place (Apparently the bio mom either forgot that part or didnt remember) *sigh* oh well. and yeah she was totally being judged *eyeroll* the power to rewrite history in one's head must be amazing! lol
Well that's not very nice, punishing the kids for her discomfort.
Nope, but that's what happens.
