So he's only about 4 years older than his "Step Child".

That's just weird.

At a certain point, I think having an age difference in a relationship really shouldn't matter so much as long as the parties involved are on similar mental and emotional levels. I do happen to think it matters a heckuva lot when one of the parties involved is still a kid. Sure, we all think we know what we are doing at 16 yrs old... but nobody really does.

That there could be.

Ummm . . . no.

Sounds legit.

But I am more amazing.

Okay, maybe that was more lazy. My bad.

Maybe her crazy is on a cycle?

I just need to be catty for a second...

"I need a day off from being unemployed, momness, and wifeness! My stress and pain level are !@%#. Maybe I should hire or meet someone to take care of me. Wait... JACOB!? =P"

That's what happens when you marry a BOY.

He doesn't, no. I really hope after illegitimate child #3 that she can't have kids any more, but I wouldn't bet on it. (2 have the same dad, the guy she finally married after the kids were born, and then decided that she was a lesbian. He had custody of them for a long time, he might still have them, which makes this comment even less pity worthy.)

Ooh, the train wrecked again.  I just saw this:

"[Youngest Son] brought in his Skylanders paper into JJC. He said that they'd let [Manchild Husband] come home if he shows it to the police man. =( I wish it was that easy."

Should I read the comments?  Of course!

"[The Kid's Dad]: [Youngest Son] should not be there."

"[Random friend]: Whatttttt howd he get locked up this time you never told me DX"

Oh yeah, you know I'm going to her Facebook page to investigate.

"I need a lawyer. They took [Manchild Husband]!"

"He violated probation. They're keeping him until there's a place to put him on home detention."

"They're gonna investigate me and my home to see if he can lbe on home detention at our house."
Oh, that's going to work out well.

How did he violate probation?
"He got sick at school. Since Dad didn't have a phone to call, [Manchild Husband] suggested the nurse to call me. She called [A name I don't recognize, probation officer?] under the assumption that we were living together again. He piss tested him at school, and he failed."

[Friend]: "WHY [did he smoke] he knows and every body else knows he isn't allowed and should NOT be smoking"

"Dude, I hear you. He probably passed the one today. I'm not sure why they detained him. [Probation officer?] was trying to keep us apart."

"[Manchild Husband] should've been off of probation months ago. [Probation officer?]'s lack of filling out paperwork and his opinion about our relationship caused all this!"

And then she talks about getting a lawyer.  

 

WOW! Yep, that about cover is it. This is better than watching Jerry Springer.

You know that thing . . . that little voice in your head that tells you "Maybe I should't make this public" . . . it seems she doesn't have that.

 I think it goes farther than that.  I think her voice instead says, "If you make this public, you'll get attention and sympathy."

Now her wall is filled with, "I miss him so much," and "[Youngest child] misses him so much," type posts.  I would guess it's one of those situations where she's encouraging the kid to be melodramitic.  Such as:

""I very much miss Jacob."~[Youngest child] while sobbing. I sure hope we make it thru these couple weeks!"
and ""You're sleeping with Jacob's hat as a pillow. You miss him that much, huh?"~Me  "Uh huh."~[Youngest child]"

And then there's, "At the brink of snapping tf off, I sit and ponder what all will help me get through this.... a memory, drawing, dancing, snapping, crying, pretending, running away, running, or talking to myself. Dear Life, PLEASE get better. I'm on the edge and grasping for EVERY branch!!!! Love, Me"  (I think "tf" is "tv")

I have a couple melodramatic FB friends like that too. I've noticed though that it's the same 4-5 people every time that play into the sympathy and respond. Everyone else just ignores it.

If I respond at all to that stuff, I usually make a joke. Like the other day, one of my friends wrote something like "Sometimes, it's foggy, dark, cold, and rainy inside the house too ...." I replied and said that it sounds like it's time to fix the roof.

LOL!  Awesome response!!!

Obviously, I don't respond to her.  I don't want her to think I even know she exists.  My sister told me that last week she left a pot of chicken and noodles on my step-grandma's (my sister's grandma) doorstep, and Grandma lost her cool while telling my sister about it (which is really rare for grandma).  There was a guilt-trip note with it saying that my aunt didn't talk to her (crazy ex-step cousin) any more, but she was trying to reconnect.  Although Grandma never said it, in that family, it's pretty obvious that if my aunt doesn't want anything to do with her, neither would Grandma.  I think Grandma was a bit creeped out by it too.

Thank goodness I live 200 miles away.

I've been trying to think of a case where's it's acceptable to leave food on someone's doorstep without telling them first. I can't think of one.

When I typed this, I thought, "While I'm posting, I should go to Facebook to see if there's anything new." He might get out in time for his birthday next week. (Ooh, the big One Seven!) I want to note that her name starts with the same two letters as Brian's hot friend. So I always visit his page as a pick-me-up after I visit hers. Sometimes I just straight out visit his page instead.
