25 Manners Every Kid Should Know By Age 9.
Helping your child master these simple rules of etiquette will get him noticed -- for all the right reasons.
By David Lowry, Ph.D.
Since the last, high orchestrated, heavily scripted by the Behemoth (BM) "heartstring" notes "from the skids" (TM) it has been "all quiet on the western front"
The last note came 90 cents postage due as it was filled with crushed sea shells and a st. patrick's day pencil. It was mostly "from VD (SD12)" Yeah right. Inappropriately URGING GG (biodad) to go to counseling, fraught with spelling errors and speaking in the tone that a young girl would to a peer PENPAL. Conspicuous by it's absense was the lack of any "happy birthday dad" wishes.
My FDH and I just had our first child together in February. Let me try to fill in the backstory real quick since I know it's hard to remember all these stories on here. FDH raised SD6 as his own her first 4 years, then the real bio dad came back into the picture. FDH had a son with BM too, SS3. We have SS3 half the time. On week days that we have SS3, we still take SD6, but she goes to her bio dad's on the weekends now (since fall). Life has been a lot rougher since we stopped having SD6 as much.
Right now, DH has SS Saturday afternoon until Sunday night every weekend. He and BM set up this arrangement about a year ago and it has been ok for the most part. There have been some weekends were DH doesn't get SS because BM goes out of town and takes him with her, and likewise there have been weekends where DH has to go out of town for work and can't take SS w him so he stays w BM. During vacation, DH is supposed to have SS half the time (one week BM, one week DH), but DH hasn't been able to have him because of work.

My husband rearranged the scheduling conflicts and we are going on the retreat.
He's going to miss the first couple hours of the first night to attend one of the games but his assistant coach will take care of the two on Saturday.
Easy compromise for me. I'm going to take that Friday off and drive separately and get there early for some relaxation by the pool.
So, so excited!!!

I have 2 ss's age 15 who take after their mother. They are doing drugs and drinking in our house. I have two babies and I am afraid I will lose them because of the boys. I had to call the police on the boys last week because they were fighting and wouldn't stop. I don't want my kids around this behavior but I don't know what to do. Their bm doesn't care about the boys and doesn't want any part in helping them and dad has given up.
Yuck yuck yuck I hate those little buggers. We were at my FDH's farm this weekend and since then I've found 3 on the dog, and SIX on me!!! This morning I found one on me while I was sitting at my desk, and although I did a whole body check after my shower, I must have gotten it from the inside of the car on my drive to work.
So mother's day didn't go anything like planned. It started early in the week when BF call BM to see if she wanted the kids earlier on mother's day so that she would spend mother's day with them. She said no and to drop them off at 5pm like usual. Well BF ran into BM's mom at the store and said hi to her. Some how it came up and BF told her that he offered to drop the kids off early, but BM acted like she didn't want them. Her mom seemed confused - who knows what BM had told her.
I am doing the CS calculations for Texas, and I do know pretty much what they actually use, although of course, I don't agree at all...so far I have figured out that although my DH wasn't as irresponsible as idiot BM, as she had two kids she couldn't support, by him having just ONE extra child...and her having TWO extra children, even if the combined income of both ex-witch and her DH were the same as my DHs, they would end up with almost 20K more per year than OUR home...it is truly pathetic...and that does NOT include the tax free CS she gets from DH...I know it sounds incredible, but it
So family court is almost here. Thursday is the day we will find out what is happening with custody with SD6. I hope the magistrate realises that she is better off with her BF and me. Can’t believe BM wants to up root her once again. When is this kid going to get a brake? When are WE going to get a brake!
SD’s teacher has written a letter for me, stating how well she is going at school, my employer as written me a letter stating how detrimental it would be to his business should I be forced to leave the company due to relocation.
