Snow Shoveling

ThatGirl's picture

Yesterday, school was cancelled because of snow. SS13 was home alone all day while we were at work. It was to be their first day back after the 2 week Winter break. He sat in front of MTV all day, and even built a fire! Apparently he called SO and asked for permission, and that was A-OK with him.

Hey guys,
I have been stalking this site for about a year now and thought it high time i created an account!
I am currently finding things very,very tough with being a SM,and decided that after SD causing a huge 'hoo ha',over christmas,and carrying out yet 'another' spiteful act towards me,for no good reason(other than i so happen to breathe), i thought i needed to an outlet of somekind.This long standing issue of SK's refusing to accept me and assuming a mob like mentality has almost resulted in me divorcing DH,because he is so scared of confronting them.

OT: Need Roommate out NOW! Need to prepare nursery for my own sanity!

Beyond the fact that I could blame the nesting thing, I'm typically a preparer. I want all my ducks in a row. We have everything we "need" for the baby...except it's all sitting in boxes and bags in a pile in our basement closet. Nothing is put together yet. I have 7 weeks until my due date.

ex-wife is evil step-daughter is evil and dangerous to my baby and my husband does not understand - don't want them near my baby

I have been with my husband for three and a half years. His divorced with three children 9, 10 and 14 years old.

His youngest children are so sweet loving and caring the eldest one (daughter) is a nasty piece of work.

Our "Merry" Christmas

Well thankfully the holidays are over..I'm even excited about being back at work actually. Christmas was great as it always is... I love Christmas...but every single year SS 8 creates some sort of Drama. I thought we'd get off free this year as Christmas day came and went without a hitch... he went to his mothers on Boxing Day and then he came to our house for the next week... ah... it was the next week... and I'm officially disengaging. My DH is actually on my side. All this kid does is eat and watch tv.

Another issue in need of advice...please

Why does my SD9 hide in her closet?? Her dad and I have a very nice, quiet home. I know her BM and BF fight all the time...but there is no need for her to hide in her closet at our house.

I've spoken with her about this and she says that she likes to play her DS or listen to music in her closet... I told her NO she cannot sit in her closet, she can sit on her bed or go downstairs is she needs some time to herself....again I found her in the closet just sitting there listening to music...by the way this girl is super smart and very well spoken...

Not so Great....

Update we picked up SD on December 27th at 6:00PM...she was a total handful until we dropped her off on January 2, 2011. It was not a great time..she was disrespectful, rude, mean, bossy and just a total brat. What bothers me the most is that SD told us she had a lousy Christmas with her BM & family. She couldnt wait to see us and bam..she is a total brat...what the heck happened?? I'm a a loss for words, she was rolling her eyes at us, smirking and laughing when we were giving her hell about her behaviour..

Seriously what the heck is going on???

Z :?

BM said she was sick so we'd take the kids and she could have a party...

Our night to have the skids this week was last night (Monday), then not until the weekend. The other day BM asked if we could take them on Wednesday night this week as well. She offered to switch days but we told her that we'd just take them the extra day.

Then yesterday at work, DF found out he had to stay late, and that he would be needing to go into work at 5:30 this morning. So he thought he'd just see if BM had plans and would indeed want to switch with him. She told him that she's not feeling good and would be going to bed right after she got home from work.
