BIRTHDAY PARTY OR NO BIRTHDAY PARTY??

foxymama87's picture

SD9's birthday is in 3 months. she wants to do a slumber party at our place. It will be the first time we celebrate her birthday that involve her friends and an actual party. I don't mind putting it together but there's a catch..... }:)

Miss thing has been acting up a lot lately more towards her father then me and I'm just sick of it already. So I'm thinking of canceling it and have her mother do something for HER daughter instead of me having to do it. Which will be slim because BM hates doing anything that requires some work effort.

How do we stop feeling guilty? I feel like such a bad person.

The graduation party came and went. My MIL was able to guilt my SS into going. My SIL said it was great. That everyone showed up. Everyone except US! Because we were NOT INVITED. She did say my SS looked a bit upset at times. I think everyone was trying to make him work it out with his dad. My DH was very hurt. He wanted to go to the party anyway and talk to his son but I told him it would just cause drama in front of his whole family.

Vent about the NCP deadbeat...

Ok-so see my exh has this history since we've been divorced of thinking HE can control my schedule/plans and have me constantly hanging by not giving a determined yes/no, time/date of plans with kids. For YEARS it's been up in the air whether he will see them, whether it will be Fri or Sat, whther it will be 10am or 12 noon or 6pm on Sat. He never does take the 2-4 weeks of summer he's "granted"...nor any other spring break/winter holiday, etc..on ocassion he'll keep them an extra day if a holiday falls on Monday.

At My Wits End

I have been married for 2 years. My husband has one son with his ex-wife. His son is supposed to be spending the summer with us, but his ex-wife has decided she wants to see him. I don't have a problem with her seeing him, but she is going overboard. She wanted to pick him up from school on yesterday and I was fine with that. HOwever, my husband told her that he needed to be at church by 6 for Youth Day practice. She started calling around 5 saying his stomach was hurting. Needless to say she didn't bring him.

ALMOST called BM last night to come pick up her daughter...

As most of you know, we still take SS3's older sister, SD6 even though she's not my fiance's kid (he helped raise her). I've posted recently about this whole thing changing soon, the reason being FDH is starting a new job and visitation is changing anyway, and her bioDad is in the picture and wanting her more often so why not let her get closer to him, so we're gonna just kind of let go of seeing her all the time or feeling "obligated" to take her.

The Step Dad who is not appreciated!!!

I am a Step-Father to a 13 yrs. old girl who just plain HATES ME!!! I have been with this child since she was 4 yrs. old and she tells me that she can't stand me!!! Her "SPERM DONOR" is a full time drug dealer with 8 other kids. I work in the Coal Mines of PA in 28" and this girl plain out hates me. She tells me that I am too Cheap and that her Father can do better for her. My wife and I will not send her to her father to live with because we are Christians and we have rules in our home and she does not like rules!!!
