Hi hi-
Okay... so let me know if I'm the crazy lady or if she's the crazy lady. This is really long too, and I'm sorry for that, but it's crazy goodness. Last year in school, my son was in class with this boy. This boy of course has a mother who stays at home and runs her boyfriend's plumbing business. I, after talking with her a few times, deemed her a Desperate Housewife so bored with her life that she had to cause chaos in others lives.
In July, my Honey's exwife ended up moving into the lady's rental house. We were having a housewarming party at the house and she was there. Up until this point, I didn't have any problem with her, I just chose not to associate with her. At the party, my youngest step-son was playing with a cable cord that had come loose. She told him 'now, you had better quit playing with that cord or I'm gonna have to spank your butt.' Now, let me say, we don't spank the kids unless it's something very serious. The eldest got caught lying one day and threw a temper tantrum because he got something taken away - he got a spanking. The youngest lied about something and covered it up - he got a spanking. Something serious... but we never even threaten it. I was upset and walked out of the house to cool down.
Until today, I hadn't seen her again, but after the incident at the house, I chose not to associate with her. On my way home from work Honey's ex-wife called and informed me that the boys were over at the Crazy Lady's house. I told her okay, and talked to Honey on his break and let him know this. He wanted to know if I would be okay picking the boys up or if I would rather wait for him to get off work. I told him it wouldn't be a problem and I would just go, get them and leave.
I knocked on the door of the house, no answer. Knocked again and said hello, no answer. I walked in because the door was partially open. She was in the kitchen watching Dr. Phil and doing dishes. She asked how my day was and I said 'fine'. Asked me how my wedding plans were coming and I said 'fine'. Asked me if I was stressed out and I said 'no because everything right now is out of my hands.' I wasn't rude or anything to her, just trying to get my boys together and get out of there. She then, in front of my kids, said 'you know, I don't appreciate how f*cking rude you are being to me in my own f*cking house.' I handed the keys to my eldest, since he was closest to me, and told him to start heading towards the car. My youngest was behind her and I reached out to grab him because he tends to move slower. She stepped between him and I. I told her that I was trying to get my son and get outta there. She then replied 'he's not your son'. Now, I am FURIOUS. She's serious lucky I didn't deck her right there. So she's following me and my youngest out the door, screaming and cursing at us. She says 'is that what you do, walk away?' I told her that I choose not to associate with people that are rude and cursing and my children will not be coming back here. She then says 'that's not your decision to make.' I say 'no, but their father can say that, and he already has said that.' She then says 'That's not his decision to make either. He doesn't have custody, their mother does.' Now I'm beyond livid and shaking.
I speed dial Honey's ex on the phone as I'm getting into the car and tell her what has just happened, telling her that I would appreciate that the boys don't go over there in the future because I don't trust her anymore. Honey and his ex share the kids two weeks at mom's house and two weeks at dad's house. The kids are basically in joint custody so that each parent gets equal time with the children. It's worked for years and will continue to work for years because that's the way the kids want it. As I'm talking to Honey's ex, the eldest says that he doesn't want to go to her house anymore, but he doesn't want to loose his friend. I get off the phone with Honey's ex, and since Crazy Lady has been blowing up the phone, she calls her back. This lady went and told his ex that I came in there screaming at her, asking where the kids are, forcing them out the door - basically calling me a crazy lady. As Honey's ex is telling me this, I am getting even more mad. I hand the phone to the eldest after telling her to talk to her son about it. He tells her what he saw, which is concurrent with my story, then tells his mom that he doesn't want to go over there anymore... Geez... why must people like that exist in this world????
My biggest problem is that she is my Honey's ex's landlord and at some events she is going to be there because the ex can't help but invite everyone to an event. I am so furious I don't ever want to see her again. I'm upset, because those kids are my kids, or as close to my kids as I'm probably ever going to get, and how dare someone tell me that I'm not their mother.
