Room Arrangements Update

1SKID3BIOS's picture

So last week I was battling with my DH because he thought my 18-year-old son who just graduated high school should move out to make room for our new baby (and more specifically so SD3, who is with us 50% of the time, wouldn't have to share a room with the new baby). As I mentioned in the other blog, DS18 is not a problem teen. He respects my DH and does what he's asked without backtalk. He will start college in January and hasn't been able to find a job yet and can't support himself at this time.

Pray! Pray!!

It's been almost a year since I posted anything. My updated is I got married 5 months ago and as of now I HAVE NO GROWN ASS STEPKIDS IN THE HOUSE and I love it. I had a 24SS with his 2y/o and a 30SS living with us. I thought I was going to lose my damn mind. The 24ss went to school and move back home where his BM lives(not with her)but he has JOB and doing better. Well the 30ss i just knew he was going to be with us forever because he had been living with us for almost 2yrs and dont do anything.

Skid month almost over!

Skids will go back to moms on Sunday night. I am so close to surviving I can see a light at the end of tunnel.

I can only hope the "crazo" will not do something to mess it all up.

Why is it I really like them but I don't want them around. It baffles me. Sometime I can't figure out myself.

I have managed to avoid some of the time with them, but I am still ready for them to leave. I even like them, but the whole kid thing is exhausting.
I am so glad my bio daughter is grown and we can do "adult" things together.

Why is it they are so much work?

Need some advice on neglectful BM

This is my first blog post here, but I had to vent. I have another standalone blog that is mostly a humor site, but this is so embarassing I dont want to post this there.

A little background: I have been with my DH for 4 years, married 2 months. He has 3 children from a previous marriage, SD10, SD9 and SD4 and we have them EOWe. My problem is of course the BM.

Sad for DH

Since SS20 has been in his 3/4 house and learning to deal with his alcohol binging etc he has seen us a total of 4 times. He spoke to DH only last Friday and DH mentioned this weekend was my 50th birthday and our wedding anniversary and he was welcome to call by. In fact DH really wanted to see him and even told SS20 so. No party or lots of people, just hanging out at home.

Yep, he would come by. Absolutely.

And again, a no-show. But he was able to hang out at his mother's place 5 miles away all day.

I just got a FB notification that BM commented on my birthday post on SS's wall

My post to SS was:

Happy Grown-Up Birthday tomorrow! Wishing you a path for a life that you LOVE! Smile

Just about 15 minutes ago, BM posted the following comment:
BM: Thanks Stormabruin, now could u tell that husband of yours to pay his child support please!!!!!!!!!

My face is hot, my hands are shaking & my heart is racing. I WANT to reply, but am not going to do it. IF I did, it would come out something like this:

I do not know how to feel about this

My DH got a voicemail from SS over the weekend. This has been the first time SS has even said anything to my DH in weeks. They met during the funeral but SS did not say a word. In the voicemail, SS says "Dad, I was wondering if you could sell the car and give me the money instead. I need it for rent and stuff. Ok..Bye." My DH let me listen to it. My DH did not call SS back yet without discussing it with me. He wants to give the car to SS AND give him the money. He wants give him 400 dollars a month, and pay for insurance and gas for the car.

We upset BM again - 2 cents any one?

This is a messed up situation that we got put in this weekend. I kind of saw it coming and I warned BF that BM was starting to think that they were friends again (some one that she could count on). Also I would like input in what we should do next. Skip to the bottom if you don't want to read this long post.
