It infuriates me that SS16 is always asking what he is getting when his dad dies! He asked how much money he is getting. He has told DH he wants the Harley and the car! He sometimes looks around the house and says he wants different items. SS16 is a monster as far as I am concerned. I now like him less than I did in the first place. I dont mean to be a bitch, but give me a break! This kid never calls his father unless its for something he needs or money. DH doesnt think anything of it and tells me I am being dramatic. Am I??????

We already knew that my SS was overweight, he had been diagnosed as obese 2 years ago by a pediatrician, we tried communicating this to his BM but it didn't sink in with her. Last night we had to measure his weight and height for a passport, he is 4'9" and 121 pounds! He is not even 10 years old yet! What can I do, we only have him about 25% of the time and his BM doesn't do anything active with him, he sits in his room either playing with his dinky cars or playing video games. He talks about how they eat wings all the time and those horrible salt infused lunchables.

Guess what the Earned Income Credit is if you choose to work for just $16500 a year and have 2 qualifying children? $5000!

So if BM essentially works for $16500, pays no taxes, maybe $1000 SocSec & Medicare, gets $5000 EIC & $2000 Child Tax Credit PLUS more back on her tax refund, collects CS of about $12500, low income housing, free lunches for kids, Medicare for herself. Total = $35,000 annually for 3 people minus 2 on the weekends

Right when my fiancee would be getting out of work he gives me a call asking if we could handle getting his son tonight. My fiancee gets out of work at 7 btw.
So, I call our daughters babysitter and ask if itd be ok if her older brother can join her on Thursday as Im in class all day. She says no problem. Then he calls his brother who is staying with both kids now tomorrow while I have an interview.
