We visited my in-laws over the weekend. They live a few hours away from us.
It’s good to be home.
Although I get along with MIL and FIL there are still a couple of things that drive me nuts.
First my in-laws have a cat. We have dogs. MIL and FIL won’t allow our dogs in their house because they’re afraid the cat will freak out and start marking in the house. I respect that but I hate it. (Normally my mom will watch our dogs when we go there but this time she couldn’t.) It makes every trip there with the dogs stressful on me and the dogs as well.
Hi everybody. I haven't posted in quite a while -- things have been pretty good at my house.
Recently SS25's car died, he can't find a job he can walk to and busses don't run on time yada yada. He lives about an hour away, finishing up college. So his solution is to come live with us for the month of June, until he goes back to school in July. Then he'd continue whatever job he finds on weekends and stay with us weekends until he completes his degree.
SD15 is not a good student. Of course not, why would she be? She's never had to work for anything else in her life b/c daddy just does all of the hard things for her. In our county, in High School if you have an A or a B in the class you don't have to take the final. And she has to take most of her finals, but one this morning. The school sent a form home for the parents to sign to know the details of the process and that if they have a final in the morning and not the afternoon, they can hang out in the library so parents don't have to worry about transportation in the middle of the day.
Well Yesterday was my daughters birthday and it went great. My husband and I decided since it was so close to the summer visit schedule we didn't want to mess up the weekend schedule so my ss7 didn't come. (my ss7 live and hour and a half away so we weren't going to have him in the car 3hrs round trip to come to an hour and a half 1yr olds party) My mil was peeved she thought we should have stuck him in a car for that long for it but my husband told her no. I was so proud of him.
So, my dh and I moved into our new house May 1st. We finally have a home instead of a place we're renting. It's freakin huge, and I have 10X the space. When we moved in, there were 2 rooms upstairs finished for sd8 & bd7, a bathroom, our master bedroom with master bath, and then downstairs is the unfinished basement. We've been working our butts off to get it finished so the 3 SS can be down there & not drive me completely insane when they visit.
I have no longer been with my ex for 2 months now... its been rough let me tell ya... i had to call the cops on him 2 weeks ago for nearly choking me and pushing me and have taken him out of my daughters life for a while because of his um... whats the word, unstableness and lack of not being and acting like a psycho path!! but have told him about the other guy, my new bf, and thats what hasnt gone over to well... and i dont blame him, i mean what kind of person leaves a 4 year relationship and jumps into another...?? ill tell u who! me...
I was checking my dog pen which wraps around the back side of the house and found a bottle jammed under the window leading into the sd's room. She moved out almost a year ago and hasnt come back at all. The window doesnt have a screen so with the bottle under the window anyone can open it easily and enter our house...So it makes me wonder if it was in the window to air the room out or if the skid used it to get in the house when no ones home since we lock all the doors and they dont have keys.
A friend posted this on another community. I thought it would serve the S-Talk experience.
My wife asked me to extend an appologiy to all of the S-moms who have to deal with the GUs and recommends beating them soundly with the court order, check book and mediators as often as possible.
Enjoy and best regards,
Rags
We have been having problems with SS getting in trouble at school ever since kindergarten, but more so this year. Hubby was talking to him about it and basically SS said that he doesn't think that we should discipline him because we should not tell him what to do, he should be allowed to do whatever he likes, because his mother doesn't ever tell him what to do and he is never disciplined at her house.
I just think that it won't be long before he goes to live with her and she can ruin him for good. Sad, really.
mmmm ok, BM went pyscho at my partner over the weekend as she had booked an eye appointment on OUR weekend, but i was driving my partner to go and get his car picked up but it wasn’t ready, so i dropped him off and was driving SD home. Then got a called and asked if i could drop her at BM place because she is going nuts about being late for the eye appointment, but i was 10mins early dropping her off!
