Pix, I'm sorry. The laptop situation sucks.
Erin, you're obviously a good step-mom. I'm sorry you're in such a difficult situation. I hate seeing children used as pawns, and it sounds like that is what M's mom is doing.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I know I moan and gripe about it, but she's a PITA and one I have to deal with for a long time. So I'm being all rational and stuff, but sometimes I JUST. WANT. TO. SLAP. HER.
I won't. But I want to.
Today was the last day of school! That's positive, right?

Well, that's why you have us. So that you can bitch about her and not actually take it out on her or your stepson.

A pox upon his fruit of the loom!
NICE!
Erin, I am sorry for crazy parental politics. So horrible when there's a kid in the balance.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Is that like the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie-woogie flu?
Symptoms include impromptu second-lining, a craving for po-boys, and total frustration with the lack of go-cups in a given municipality. Comorbidity with brassaholism often occurs.
Erin, absolutely atrocious. And I'm glad you have us to vent to.
You, Pix, were gracious and fabulous. Tino was a schmuck.
Indeed.
I hope something itchy invades his underwear drawer. All summer.
INDEED.
I am at the beach. With wifi in the hotel, woot!

Erin, that's completely infuriating.
Pix, I think "supercilious ass" pretty much sums it up. He is SUCH a Tino.
smonster, Frankie and I are having good times. Well, right now, he's having a nap, but he seems to be enjoying it quite a bit.

He does love a nap or ten. And then to sleep at night.
Also, my mother is looking at the pet rescue thingy she gets at the beach, and she's found about five dogs she want to adopt, and is trying to talk me into a Siamese.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Welcome back, Trudy!
I am glad there was some sort of compromise, Kristin. Sorry it was so stressful to you.
Erin, you are a rocking stepmom and I know that nothing that you vent here affects M, because you are awesome. His mom is really being awful and I am so sorry that you and D have to deal with it but you are being ADULTS and good parents.
Honestly, I say it a lot when this topic comes up but I cannot stress how amazing my parents were being divorced parents and remarrying and just being fucking adults.
