BM needs to realize she gave up control when she moved away

[Momto2boys973]

I agree. Apparently the idea that sometimes adults have to face difficult choices is oh-so shocking. She probably thought they could work something out, she was very naive.
I think she’s not reacting to that correctly, but I can understand it must be a huge blow.

That’s what happens when you choose a job over your kids. And yes I’d say the same if she were a man.

Depends on why she took the job. It's not as if we have a normal economy these days and our wonderful government just ended the unemployment benefits. If she lived in, for example, Yeehaw Junction, Florida (where there's nothing) and had to move to West Palm Beach to make ends meet and provide for her kids then it is what it is. That's not to say she should be a controlling witch but as someone else said she could be taking this very hard.

And if that's the case, that she essentially had to take the job, it would be nice if they could be sympathetic towards her feelings on the whole thing.

But regardless of reason, she needs to come to terms with the fact that it is what it is and she is no longer involved in the nitty gritty of day to day with her kids. And that's on her to figure out. The other's don't need to accommodate her while she gets a grip.

She left her old job for this one. It would make more sense if she had no job and took whatever she could but that was not the case.

Enjoy taking care of another woman's young children. Sounds like a fun time!

I can see why she's an ex-wife. I hope you told her to blow it out of her ass.

She's helping to take care of her husband's children.

Helping? Read the OP again. Everything she says is BM sent ME this and ME that. Sounds more like a live in nanny.

I love my step kids so I don't mind caring for them. They are my husband's children also. They are not the problem at all.
