Go figure! My mom actually did something nice for me! She gave me quite a little bit to buy the kids their school clothes and supplies. I was rather shocked! But then I was saddened and it didn't surprise me what came next. She said to me, "This is for your kids only, not for Dougs. I want the money kept in the family". I thought WTF. I was a weiner and nodded and agreed because I needed it so much but it really truly saddened me. What difference does it make if I spend it on one of Doug's kids, a child in need is a child in need regardless who the sperm and egg donors are. Fortunately Doug's kids are taken care of so I can keep my word to my mother but I found myself disappointed in that I didn't stand up to my mother and tell her where to get off!

Your mother continues to sound like mine. There are always strings, addendums and restrictions. *sigh*
Mothers will be mothers, I guess. It pains me to read your words. My mother is much the same. Try being in a lesbian relationship with 5 kids (yours, mine, and ours). My mother dotes on the "mine" (now ages 26 and 27) and is pretty okay with playing fair with the "ours" (now 18) as my sister actually gave birth to him for us, but barely acknowledges the "yours" (now 17 and 25). Siiiiiiiiiigh. It is hard, but our kids are all good sports and joke about it all of the time. It still hurts, though.
UGH! That is terrible! Family is family! But I'm glad that you didn't tell your mom where to get off (lol, that actually sounds funny taken out of context), because at the end of the day you really needed that money and it's for the kids. It's important to get them what they need. Thank goodness Doug's kids are taken care of though!

Shrug it off as best as you can...she's a bitch, you know this.
I'm not thinking it's ever going to change.
