Will you walk into my parlor said the spider to the fly

JMC's picture

I know just how that little fly felt! For the past week, SD23 has been making comments on my Facebook status or on comments that I've posted to mutual F/B friends statuses. Nothing derogatory, mind you, actually more on the patronizing side. I'm not sure what to think except maybe she's baiting me? This is the girl who claims I'm 'fake' (see previous blogs) but yet she is somewhat following me on F/B....interesting.

Any tips to instill a sense of urgency in SS3? Showing signs of ADD or attention-seeking?

SteppingUp's picture

My SS3 is the definition of "DAWDLER". (Before I go on, YES, I do understand he's only 3.5 and that I shouldn't expect him to be quick, or have that sense of urgency or to be able to stay on task all the time...I just want some opinions/advice.)

Help the BM from Hell is at it again!!!

I am new here & so glad I found this site. I am sure my friends are so tired of hearing my drama with BM from hell. But I believe BM's mission in life is to ruin mine & husbands. Only 7 years left & then welcome to the real world. Hope she has been saving some of that child-support cause she will need it. LOL The BM has finally found a man & married him. Smile But she continues to make my husbands life & mine hell.

Food Advice

We have been sitting down to the dinner table to eat our meals lately. It has been a welcome change for DH and me; it’s like we get the socialization of going to a restaurant without having to go anywhere! Novel concept, I know.

SS5 has always been a picky eater, made worse by BM also being a picky eater. I am no paragon of nutrition, but man cannot live on mac & cheese alone – so the new rule is that SS has to try whatever I make.

SS15 wishy-washy behavior

Hmm, don't know how else to call SS15 behavior. He got "mad" at DH before Thanksgiving because DH asked him to do his "chores" which really take 10 minutes out of his "busy" schedule. He is supposed to clean the kitty litter when he is at our house and finish clearing off the table at lunch and supper (I do most of it, but ask him to finish his dishes and the few other things on his table) Well BM told parenting coordinator he shouldn't have to do this since SS15 has homework and after school activities. Honestly the jobs take 10 minutes!

Get Your Priorities Straight Woman!!

So, guess who got a new vehicle & cell phone yesterday?

If you guessed BM, you are correct. Now, how she obtained these things without having a job, I don't know. Hopefully her (soon to be ex)H didn't buy them for her, considering she is leaving him and moving somewhere else soon. She informed us that she would be moving closer into town soon. (She has had her last name changed and marital status taken off of her Facebook for two months or so now.) I wonder where she is moving to?

Am I wrong? Im really depressed.

Im at a point where im feeling like such a mess and feel like ive let down myself and the people who love me because im constantly depressed and crying! My problem is not with BM. BM had had multiple affairs when SD5 was 2 and had drug issues and pretty much disappeared and had nothing to do with SD and DH again. DH has been looking after SD fulltime for almost 3 full yrs now. I myself have been in SD's life since 2 yrs ago. She calls me Mum and doesnt remember BM except for her name.

exhausted

I have been with my SO for 9 months. We live together with my BS and his son comes once a month, honestly I am to the point of exhaustion, depression, and anger in dealing with his ex wife and everything that has happend. Since we have been together the major things that have happend is she called a welfare check on me a little while after my SO let her come see him while he was at work and SS was with me. She broke into his house when we first got together to steal the dog they had when they were married and he had taken care of since she moved out.

I sometimes forget...

that he's smarter than he acts. Loghead IS making PITA pay for repairs to the car for his little driving stunt Saturday. Loghead has put him on driving restrictions- to and from school only, no side trips. (Because of ball practice, there's no way around it. PITA has to drive...) Loghead has had him doing all kinds of things around the house, and has had several discussions with him about car safety and consequences. He's gone full on "school teacher" on PITA and shown him all kinds of safety videos and public service things about teens and irresponsible driving...
