It's about to get real...

As most of you know, BM is about to spew forth her new spawn into the world. I already feel sorry for this kid and she hasn't even been born yet.

I've been tense for over a week just waiting. Why do I think shit is about to hit the fan? Because it almost always does with her.

Want to know my two long term predictions? This is going to go one of two ways....

Scenario Number 1:

BM - is going to be all involved with the new kid and she's going to start neglecting the kids she already has. They are going to start getting MORE tardies because she can't be bothered to get them to school on time. They aren't going to get their homework done because she's too busy. They are going to start acting out more and more.

Step-Dad - is going to completely fall of the radar for my steps. According to BM, he is going to "work from home" and start picking the kids up everyday from school. Once BM goes back to work, he's going to decide "it's too hard" and SS is going to end up back in daycare, SD is going to demand to ride to bus to our house everyday and we'll go right back to the way things were.

SD - is going to go back to hating her mother and cling to me for life support because she's going to feel replaced.

SS - is going to do the crap he's been doing to my BD for years (being mean, punching, hitting) to the new baby and it's finally going to dawn on BM and Step Dad that he has a problem. Then they are promptly going to make US deal with it.


Scenario Number 2

Step - Dad - is going to abandon ship.

BM - is going to fall back to letting the kids do whatever they want

SD - is going to continue her mothering of BM and start mothering the baby because BM won't do it.

SS - is going to go even more crazy and get worse about not listening because he has no guidance whatsoever.

It's going to be interesting to see what is going to happen. I know I shouldn't worry about any of this considering I can't control what happens over there, but I like to plan. Even if I'm wrong, I like to know what I'm walking into. Of course, they could completely throw me for a loop and everything could just be great, but I doubt it. We'll see....
