Howdy!!!! Squirrel 3 and I have decided that as we are a bit nutty, we'd like to set up the Nutty Stepmum's Club or NSC. If anyone would like to join us, please add to this post and prove that we are not the only nutters out there!

We would like to add a little bit more nuttyness to our already insane lives!!!!

Lol, erm perhaps I should read my wording before I post it!!!! Let me rephrase - I loved the bit about men and women!!!!

Glad the weekend went well, I think you're right it does make a difference talking on here. My DP actually asked me on Saturday night (when he'd had a couple of beers mind you) what I would like to call a baby girl if we had one!!!! He said he would like to call her Demi!!! Result eh? Im getting more positive about the future now!

Yippie!!!

Thats fantastic, a step in the right direction.

I'm really lucky I've got two of my own, but its even better being a Granny, my grandson is the apple of my eye, love him to bits and being Granny I get all of the lovely bits, then I can hand him back to his Mum and the best bit is I get to do it again with grandchild n.o.2 which is on its way in June!!!

Its a little girl, DD is thinking of calling her Lea.

Ahhhhh! Babies........

Going all gooey now..........

Hi all. That's good news SadSam.

We've just had a week away in Cornwall with dsd and it was fab. However I managed to upset BM before we went ..... wait for it ...... I dared to write out the details of where we were going and how she could contact us in an emergency. The village we went to is in a valley and there's no mobile signal. She was furious and told me that her daughter is nothing to do with me! I donned my big pants and told her I was only trying to do the right thing, and her response to that was that I would never do the right thing so don't bother trying! Tell me something I don't know!! If we hadn't given her the details that would have been wrong too. Hey ho.

SadSam · 12/04/2005 12:20

Thanks Squirrel and Surfermum and Squirrel congratulations on your impending grandma no. 2!!! I must say though (creep that I am) you sound far too young to be a grandma!!!

Surfermum, your BM sounds as bad as mine. To be honest if you hadnt have given her contact details she probably would have had a go at you about not being able to contact her daughter!!! You just cant win with these people, they are totally irrational! Thats why we love them so much.............. NOT!

I am, I am too young to be a Grandma, I keep telling everyone that!!!!

My Zimmer frame is totally cool and trendy!!!!

I am quite young to be a Granny, I had my DD when I was just 16 and she is now 22, you do the maths I'm not telling how old I am!!!!!

Surfermum, at least you had the power of the big pants with you, I don't understand why most BM's are so irrational when it comes to us step-mothers, does anyone????

SadSam · 12/04/2005 12:55

Its ok Squirrel, maths was never my strong point lol! I think its nice to get it all out of the way young. I am 34 and still have no children of my own, so how old am I gonna be if and when im a grandma?????? ancient!!!!!!!

I have no idea why BMs are so irrational, I think it must be something that is programmed into them (the nasty ones that is, im not knocking BMs that are ok). A lot of it is jelousy. I know our BM is jelouse of what me and DP have together, I also know that she would get back with DP tomorrow if she could (dream on). She ended it and didnt expect him to get with someone else so soon (within 2 months I believe, and no he wasnt seeing her before they split up!). I think if she could have turned back the clock she wouldnt have finished with him, I think she just wanted to scare him a bit! Silly woman!

Still when I come face to face with her this weekend, ill make sure I have big pants on and my telepath machine to know how she is going to react before we say or do anything! Surfermum, I think thats where you went wrong, you didnt have your telepath machine with you otherwise you would have known you BM was going to have said that!

OP posts:
squirrel3 · 12/04/2005 13:12

Think the Skids BM is just quite simply totally mad!!!

Stark raving bonkers infact!!!

She got really angry and accused DP of being abusive at the weekend when he picked Skids up, what happened was, she was asking him if he would pick the Skids up late from a local pub/motel next time we have them because they were going to a birthday party with her, this pub/motel is known to be a bit 'seedy' now DP shouldn't have said it, but its his sense of humour, he said "The ** Motel on saturday night, I thought it was snog a dog night there on saturdays!"

He honestly didn't mean anything by it, its just a saying that saturday night is snog a dog night there, but can you imagine the response he got!!!!!

I must say I found it hillarious!!!

SadSam · 12/04/2005 13:29

Lol, I think our BMs need a sense of humour transplant as well as a personality transplant!

They must be so unhappy and miserable in their own little lives if they cant even take a light hearted joke!

Surfermum · 12/04/2005 15:33

I think you're right SadSam - she ended it with dh and promptly moved someone else in, but dh wasn't meant go and live happily ever after. Still I don't think I'll be needing the telepath machine, as I know that nothing I ever do or say will be right in her eyes.

reflection · 12/04/2005 16:27

Oh, I have really missed the nutty club...HELLO. I have been soooo busy at work i've hardly had time to blink. Just thought I would catch up.

I have two BM's in my life...poor me. No, that's not fair, my ss' BM is lovely and it was her reasurance that saved me from total dispare. My SD's BM mum used to be a total nightmare but since I started totally ignoring her alls well. Touch wood. DH picks up SD (I used to do it all the time but now refuse) DH has to talk to her exclusively as my mobile rejects her numbers and the house phone displays numbers. So all this coupled with my big pants protects me from harm. Toxic woman. To top this DH and I have had a really hard time over the last two years and she has had all the fab life style changes yet still has time to bother us...sad really. Only recently have I thought like this for years I thought it was all my fault and really beat myself up over it to the point where I thought I was getting obsessive. Since coming here though I have had a reality check.

BUT the best thing is that I qualify to be in the club.....

SadSam · 13/04/2005 09:19

Welcome back Reflection, glad you still got your big pants to hand! Im glad things are better for you, I only wish all BMs could be like your ss BM!

Surfermum I know what you mean, when they are like that, nothing will change their mind. Everything will be wrong in their eyes.

OP posts:
squirrel3 · 13/04/2005 12:53

Welcome back Reflection, you have been missed.

My situation is very much like yours, I have tow BMs to contend with and the first is lovely, the second is a nightmare. Having spoken to BM no.1 and DP, BM no.2 gave BM no.1 an even harder time than she gives me (if thats possible).

Question for mumsnet, why, oh why, can't we have a spell checker!!!!!!???????

I ned a speell cjecker!!!!

SadSam · 13/04/2005 13:20

Yesh I no wot u meen sqrl! Lol

OP posts:
squirrel3 · 13/04/2005 14:37

Could also do with an easier way to keep in shape, working out for 30 mins a day is killing me!!!

And oh yes a machine that does the ironing then puts it away...

ooooo, what about a self-loading/emptying dishwasher?

SadSam · 13/04/2005 15:37

Thats what DP/DH are here for, to help us work out if you know wot I mean Squirrel????

OP posts:
reflection · 13/04/2005 16:26

You would not believe the number of times that I have had to think of another word as I couldn't spell the first one! Stuff it I declare I AM RUBBISH AT SPELLING....so, now that that's out in the open I shall no longer worry.

I'm bored....it's not that I don't have a million thinks to do it just that I can't be bothered. I think it's cause I'm gemini. Just sit here a while and wait for the planets to change......

What do you call a teletubbie with a finger stuck up it's arse? Stinky pinky.

reflection · 13/04/2005 16:36

Things...not thinks(although I do think alot too, which I wonder might me part of the nuttyness)

have to have a grin.

Oh and thanks squirrel and sadsam for the chat. Idle banter is definatly good for the soul.

Exercise.....I bought some oil(not olive but the rubbing kind) for DH when I went shopping the other day. Now that gave him something to think about.....gob smacked but happy. I still ache.

reflection · 13/04/2005 16:37

Was that too much information?

reflection · 13/04/2005 16:44

Squirrel, just come back from valentines thread. Just wanted to say that I am proud to have you as my new chief as you really are a wise bear..

SadSam · 13/04/2005 17:49

Hi Reflection, which oil was it? Ill have to try that on my DP to stop him from falling asleep on the sofa in front of the TV if you know wot I mean!!!!

OP posts:
reflection · 13/04/2005 17:52

It's easier to take advantage when they are asleep...

Good Morning everyone,

Reflection, excellent joke lol.

A Priest, a Rabbai, and a Satanist walk into a bar. The bartender takes a look at them and says, "What is this? Some kind of a joke?"
