So admist all the happy times w/all the new babies.....who else here is freaked about the weekend?
I'm dreading it already-not sure what will happen-if we will see eachother Easter, whathaveyou.
BUT regardless....bf is already in a mood since last night-he always gets this way on his wknd w/SD- I guess I have Friday for a day to myself-off work but kids are in school.
Seriously. I have spent 10 years being dictated to what I will do and when- I am like a puppet on a string. I thought that when SD19 said she was done coming over that life would be quiet since 90% of the drama in our house was created by her manipulation and now SS14 is piCking it up and running with it.
I'm going back to NOT CARING!!!!!!
My SS (10) lies all the time. On a normal day 99% of what he says is a lie. Any advice on how to help him kick this habit? DH won't do anything and I hate being lied to.
And some tthings have gotten better and some things have gotten worse and some things haven't changed.
Working from home had some of the coolest bene's. I could go workout twice a day in prep for triathlons. I could start dinner. I could keep up on house stuff so there could be relaxation at some point. I could spend more time with the FSkids? Yeah - right.
FSD13 has gotten better...oddly enough and I don't know why. I'm just going to take that one on faith.
In Texas when a couple gets divorced the court mandates they go to a 3 hour parenting class before the divorce is final.
BMs sister and her DH are divorcing. Her husband still talks to my DH. He called DH to tell him something I find hilarious !!
BMs sister paid their other sister 40 dollars and SHE attended the parenting class!!! WTH ?????
Classic= she couldn't attend because she had.....wait for it....a DATE!!!
OMG!!! I really hope the judge bashes her.
Obviously, craziness runs in the family.
SO....both my brother/sil and my best friend/neighbor were due the same time (early May).
My sil had my baby niece on Saturday, I was not there for the birth-they BOTCHED her entirely by an unecessary induction, stopped it, restarted and of course she ended up w/a c-section-they literally butchered her birth. BUT, mom and baby are good, my niece is absolutely PRECIOUS. I saw her Sunday and can't wait to see her again tomorrow or Sat. My brother and her are doing great for first time parents-breastfeeding, holding, bonding, all of it. Just beautiful!
and are possibly managing to have a skid-free Easter at that, what will you be cooking?
My menu:
Ham
Grilled Lamb Chops
Peas
Mashed Potatoes
Candied Sweet Potatoes
Dinner Rolls
Coconut Cake
Ok not low cal but hey. . . it's better than Skid Easter Menu:
boxed mac n cheese
chicken nuggets
doritos
oreos
dollar store chocolate
OH and I will be buying a few "high end" chocolates from the city chocolate shoppe!!
So I posted a blog about how I was leaving and I am woman hear me roar type stuff and I am still in this crazy relationship. I called around to get a place and um...well my credit isnt amazing so I need to get that straightened and also I love him f*** I hate that part. Well yesterday was mediation for custody. Right now we have the boys full time and she only gets one hour every other week supervised. She now wants joint custody and no supervision. I thought that was bonkers. She is crazy if she thinks she is getting right.
I am tired of feeling like my life and every decision I make has to revolve around SD. I just want to tell DH and BM, "teach your kid that not EVERYTHING is about her."
I originally found this site when I was looking for information on how to handle dealing with my XH and his fiancee and I have to thank you all for sharing your stories - hearing the blended family horror and success stories from the perspective of step parents has helped me understand some of what XH's fiancee must have experienced for the last couple of years and will experience (hopefully not the worst of it, but the feelings and hardships that go with taking on another person's child) in the future and in some ways has made me more sympathetic to her experience.
