Guyz on site--don't read! O/T

I know this is off topic, but since there are so many women I could really use some help....

I had a hysterectomy some years back 'cuz I had an "alien" growing. Turns out it didn't heal and went through 4 surgeries trying to correct, almost died 3 times, etc. Finally got the ovaries taken out (which I didn't wanna do), b/c they were ruptured.

The more I hear...the more I understand this board and the bdads. She is just a bad parent!

I mean...ok so luckily still the ex doesn't have my bf's n...that's a good thing. We dont' have to hear from her when we have the girl. YEs-it's stressful, Sunday her and my youngest fought-but overall it was much less then other wknds.

SS12 almost charged with 2 counts of battery and theft

Every week things get worse.

First, FH gets a call from BM on Thursday saying SS12 was suspended from school for 3 days. Apparantly he STOLE someones bike from school and rode it home. The next day he rode the bike back and a couple of his "friends" told their teacher or principal and SS spent the entire day in the office as one of his days in suspension.

OT: Best way to explain birth to children - 3 and 5?

SteppingUp's picture

I was prepared for the "How does the baby get in there?" question but somehow hadn't thought up an answer for "How does the baby get out?"

My friend's daughter (5) asked me this weekend...I was caught off guard and first I asked her if she'd ever seen an animal at the zoo or fair giving birth. She said no...so I told her it's hard to explain and she didn't ask anything more. I better get cracking on a good answer though because SS3 and SD5 will surely be asking me soon enough!

Any ideas?

Never in my life have I wanted to backhand someone so much!!!!

I feel bad for saying that, but I am so mad I am seeing red! :jawdrop: I could not believe what came out of my 6year old soon to be stepson. We always get along, I treat them more nicely than I should. The other day we were sitting down to play a game, and he started saying, "Only babies read direction" over and over when I sat down to read them before playing. I didn't give it much thought and just said, "No honey, smart people read the directions."

Something Has Changed Inside Me...

...and Im not sure whether to be afraid or to feel triumph.

This weekend BM raised a big stink because both SK's had school activities on the same day (her weekend). It says in the divorce decree that, if she or her spouse are unable to take the kids to a school event, DH and I get right of first refusal before she asks anyone else to do it.

OT: Amber and Gary from Teen Mom - This is terrifying to me.

It's abusive, period.

I've been watching this show online over the weekend. Before that, I caught bits and pieces on TV here and there but never followed it, so I started from the beginning and am just into season two now.

For anyone else who watches this, is it just me or are Amber and Gary heartbreaking? Or, more appropriate, my heart breaks for Leah in the middle of so much hate and anger.

I left him alone for two hours

My Saturday started at 7am. I had to drive into town to get my daughter. That was the only thing that ran smoothly.

I get home at 8:30 and have to be ready for skids football game by 10.

9 year old SD can't get herself ready to go...she wants me to help her. Why a 9 year old can't dress herself is beyond me, when her cheer leading uniform is all laid out for her. I have to get in the shower, so I get DH to take her to BM.

I'm running late now.

I go to the game...alone...without DH and have to deal with BM (who is a snotty bitch)

Changing exchange days?

MARLA_823's picture

So who here has 50/50 week/on week off custody? What are the exchange times/days and why are the times/days good or bad? We currently do exchanges of SD at 6pm Sun, but don't think it is the greatest setup. Now that SD is in school, basically it's a rush to feed her dinner and get her bathed and ready for bed. (We get up at 6am to get ready for school.) Also there's the fact that no one parent really gets a full weekend with her. We're thinking either the parent getting SD picks her up after school Fri or Mon.
