It wasn't the question you were asking, but it was the question you were asking.

If you know what I mean.

You should have said. It's great your kids can look past the fact he is a deadbeat loser.

Then you should have PIIHB

Just the fact that you’re willing to date a chick with two frick trophy’s following her around proves you aren’t selfish

Thank you for an insightful response.

I am not naive to how difficult the situation as a whole will be. We just made it through little league season where everyone was pleasant and neutral at the games.

Just felt like I should have some veto power over this specific thing on this specific morning.

Alot of co-parenting / ex related things are unavoidable. I get it. This just didn't seem to be one of them...

Was it hours worth of videos or, more likely, less than 1 minute's worth?

I "get it", but you have been aware of this little set-up you've parlayed yourself into for awhile now.

You should have watched and put on a show for the bitch, and you would have dealt with nothing more than a great day like you wanted.

It sounds like you are in a relationship of convenience. You have far too many more Christmas' etc in your future with this bunch, as well as a million other "milestones" you'll have to share with the ex-husband. Get out now and start fricking someone else without kids.

Dude, you’ve stepped in it. Six months at least before she lets you touch her tits again.

Why the hell would I want to spend some of my Christmas on speaker phone with my MIL?? But I do...because my wife does. It's important to her, and we share our lives.... see what I'm getting at here.

It was several videos, all about 1 minute long.

Figured if I didn't politely say I would rather not watch I'd be in line for all of them.

Yes, I see. It's an imprecise analogy. Most women will have a mother in the picture. That's generally unavoidable. A woman with an ex-husband and two young children is something completely different.

I'd need to see pics of said woman before determining just how wrong you were.

Honestly, did she really say those words? Oh, BTW, you know you gotta one-up the ex on gifts, right? You ARE getting them Xmas gifts, right?

Oh, and I am pretty sure you hit "submit" before you attached the Xmas photos of your slut.

So less than 5 minutes.

Man...you are bad at this game. That’s a little battle you concede, get brownie points, probably could have snagged a Christmas blowjob and cum down her chimney.

How many 5 minutes increments do you waste in a day...and now you look like an a-hole.

So at the end of it, your poor eyes had to suffer at least some of a video of her ex, and you pissed her off.

I don't care about the ex and step kid aspect of it all, it sounds like you were wrong, if your goal was a happy day without having to see a video of her ex.
