Any other SAHM's excited about Skids returning to school soon?
We have full custody. I've had the countdown on my calendar since about the 2nd week of summer break! Between now and school start, we have a visit with G-PA that will take a few days off, so I'm counting about 10 and a half days of SS invasion.
I'm bummed out because this summer, I had all kinds of things planned that I wanted to do with the boys, but SS is such a pain in the butt, that I scrapped ALL plans, and just sit here holding my breath until I'm free. BioSon and I will still have some summer left together to go have fun after school starts. The only part that is a drag, we have to be on our way home from wherever we are every day by at least 2:30, so we have to start EARLY if we wanna do much. I feel bad for BioSon that SS ruins everything so we can't do as much together when the weather is nice.
I have disconnected so much with SS because of his attitude, and the attitude of my Future In Laws, that I haven't even tried at all to keep up with summer work the teachers sent with him. I told BF that I will talk to teachers this year too, and tell them to call BF if they have trouble...I don't want to work on it anymore.
So, WOW. Sweet freedom is around the bend! I can almost breathe again!

You aren't alone..
I am also counting the days. We only have SD in the summers and holidays..but it's been such a draggggg of a summer! I know exactly what you mean about having so much planned for the summer, because I had those same plans. Nope, they didn't happen cause we are always so busy shuffling SD here and there to different family members houses. She stays the night at her Nana's (BM's mom), then her aunt's house (BM's sister) and it's just a hassle moving her here and there. I finally was able to get some alone time with Bio son and taught him to ride his bike..but our walks aren't as frequent because of SD's whining when we go on walks. Bio son and SD can't even lay on the couch together at night without her whining that he's taking up too much room or something. Yay for the end of summer though. Even though Bio son starts school...when we take SD back to her mom (all the way in North Carolina, we live in Indiana) we have decided to take a mini-vacation with just the 3 of us after we drop her off. Just DH, Bio son, and me! I'm really excited. Good luck with the rest of your summer plans! I'm sure your son will have a blast whatever it is that you do with him!
Hey, I'm in Indiana too!
Wow! Sounds like we have a lot in common with Skids. My SS8 is always screaming at BioSon2 to get out of his room, does NOT want to share his toys, but BioSon's toys are always fair game. He spends so much time in time out and being grounded, (by the way, I'd rather NOT have to ground him regardless of what my FMIL thinks!) that we couldn't keep any plans on track anyway. He exhausts me with endless stupid questions and sucking all the attention and energy out of me, that I don't want to do anything with him that takes any MORE of my dwindling energy reserves. And he's so stinky to me and BioSon that I don't really want to do anything nice for him.
SS is fishing with G-Pa tomorrow, so I think I'll take my angel baby to the general store for an ice cream cone on the liars bench. Good country fun!
Ohh, I'm proud of your DH for agreeing to a mini-vacation with just your 3. Mine would feel guilty about not taking SS even though he feels a lot like I do about SS's attitude. Have a safe trip, and I'm sure it will be exactly what the doctor ordered.
That's one thing I can never complain..
about is my DH. He agrees with me on everything. He knows that SD is always out of control...granted our son is no angel at times...but compared to her..wow. DH also knows that BM is a crazy lady and is always on my side against her. He does try to keep the peace with her of some sorts though because we have never been to court and would like to keep it that way. It has been a lot better dealing with BM since she moved so far away, but it's also bad in a way, because SD suffers. It would take years to fix SD from the problems BM has put in her life...but I'm way to focused on my own son's well being first. He's mine and he's first in my book. Though I always make sure SD has everything she needs. As for both of us and summer fun in Indiana...do we honestly think that could have been possible anyways?! lol..crazy weather around here.
You know what I think
I think every parent on teh PLANET step and bio are ready for school to be back in three weeks after it lets out. LOL. The girls are bored stiff and tired of being home. They are starting to bicker alot because they are sick of being aorund each other.
The school year puts more of a routine to things and I think kids just do better with a routine to follow. We all let routines go down the pooper when school lets out and then we all pay the price.
Having a baby does not make you a mother.
