SS is on vacation from school for the next 2 weeks and when DH dropped him off at BMs on Sunday, DH asked if he could pick up SS every afternoon next week.

Per the CO, DH is allowed to keep SS one week during vacation and BM gets him the other week. Well, DH can't keep him round the clock because he works 10 hr days and has no one to watch him, which is why he asked if he could pick up SS in the afternoons and come get him on the weekend. BM said he could have SS all week or not at all and so now DH won't be seeing SS for 2 weeks.

Article on Ex Etiquette

Ex Etiquette Tips. If you need a few tips and some ex etiquette advice, we’ve got a few to help you with a smoother breakup. First, do not invite your ex to your wedding.

There is no reason for your ex to be there. I actually know someone who asked their ex to give them away. What were they thinking? Second, do not call your ex, with whom you do not have children, to check in. Allow your ex to move on with his or her life, and you do the same.

It's really too late to be asking this but am I cut out to marry a divorced man???

Am I crazy? My fiance was married for 12 years (as was I). That's a pretty long time to be married. He shared ALOT with her. How can I marry this man and be second to that? And why does it bother me so much because I had THE SAME THING!!! Am I being selfish for hating that he spent a long time with someone else? How do I get over him being with her?? Please help.

Once again, SD15 rules the house

After the last set of issues and concerns, and things that had been building up, my DH and I had a lot of long conversations and agreed to a lot of good positive things - about how we relate to eachother and how we handle the kids. We even talked about how his "guilt parenting" was bad for SD15 and SD13. We both took steps to work on what we each needed to work on - and most of it centers around SD15.

I'm mad too.

So guess whose job is gone? Yup BM. The person she was "care-taking" died. And she's so devastated that she needs a "get-away" long weekend, and wants me to have the kids an extra day that they are off from school. Yes - me specifically - because she knows DH has to work, including the weekend. I figure she's taking the weekend to plan her strategy on how to get more money out of DH. Great timing too, with baby coming soon.

So mad!

Basically I'm more upset at DH right now then I am at anybody else. He allows his oldest son 17 to freeload like it's nobody's business. He is about to graduate high school and as luck would have it he is going to school to be a mechanic and his father works in the business and is a manager. My DH told me long ago that he was going to have his son work at another place before hireing him

SD hit SS in the head with a beer bottle

LizzieA's picture

Yes, SD was in one of her bi-polar rages again. BM was off at her BF's 100 miles away. SD,22, was angry about something and woke SS, 18, up by hitting his head with a bottle. 6 a.m. on a vacation day. BM SAYS she's going to kick SD out (with her kid) but we'll see if Miss Passive Non-parent can actually muster up some sac.

Poor DH was pretty upset. He feels helpless; they are both adults and he can't do anything to fix SD or the situation. Maybe SD will finally get help.

My 45yr old boyfriend has three sons 27, 15, 12 yrs of age. The one I have an issue with is the father and the 12 yr. old. I just got hung up on last night by the father because I was trying to explain to him how I feel about what the son is doing and what him as a father isn't doing.
