Ok...so I have been on a business trip and I come home last night to my sd setting her butt on the couch attached to the computer and under the coffee table my puppy is chewing up a brand NEW pair of my shoes. I did scold the dog...but deep down I wanted to YELL at my sd. This is why:

1.) In all seriousness, I left the shoes out so therefore I was taking a chance.

2.) The dog NEVER chews on things when im there...because I watch her!

I am new to the blogging world but my situation with my fiance's ex wife and mother of his daughter has left me little options! I have been with him for 4 1/2 years now and we have big changes heading our way with the birth of our first baby right around the corner! Life with the ex has not been easy, in fact it is the only reason why my fiance and I ever argue or have ever been in bad fights.

Well it has been an interesting weekend around here to say the least. Since Ding Dong sent me his letter telling me he was getting the girls for his 2 weeks of summer time with only 3 days notice it has been one issue after another. Let's take one issue at a time shall we?

1). Finally got a call back from my attorney who assured me I was in the clear for telling Ex no. He is the one who did not follow the guidelines for his vacation time. He also told me to get a written copy of the threatening voicemail he left in case we need it for court.

CO says that BM provides insurance and DH pays half of all bills not covered. We have no problem with this. This is something that was agreed to while they were mediating, but it seems like BM is abusing it. She apparently has switched jobs and does not have SD7 insured anymore even though she is supposed to. We have been getting bills presented to DH by BM's mother every other weekend for a few months now. He is supposed to pay these balances within one month, but it's really starting to piss me off.

So, to make a long story short, BM called on last week and tried, once again, to get everyone (me, DH, MIL) riled up because things have obviously been too calm since her last psychotic rage. Fortunately, we were all prepared and totally let the wind out of her sails. When none of her ranting and raving seemed to get her the reaction she wanted, she threatened to...wait for it....

pick the skids up early!

I can't stop laughing at her logic. "Okay, BM, we'll see you soon. Have a safe trip! You need gas money?"

LOL!

She called around 12:30pm & the kids were still in bed. He said the first thing out of her mouth was, "Where's my check?".

DH: BM, I mailed your check yesterday (Monday).

BM: Well, why so late? When I talked to Storm she promised she'd be mailing them first thing on Friday mornings.

Ugh! I am so frustrated with the whole lot of them. The best thing is that they do not live near us. But, they sure do not understand family loyalty to their brother. I blogged about this before and BM sending SD15 to DH's family for two weeks this summer. Well they apparently enjoyed themselves and have no problems posting all the pictures on Facebook. My SD15 has no relationship with her father and no one calls her out on the pain she has caused. Instead we talk to BM and have her come for a visit. They spent obviously a ton of money on her and did numerous things with her.

:?

i found this comment on another sight. the question posed was:
should a step parent have the same authority as the biological parent

Ok, the princesses hate each other. Neither is making any bones about it. FSD16 is girlie, "S" is a complete tomboy. Her only 'girlie' activity is ensuring her hair looks ok and it was her mom that did that, not her choice.

These two girls can get on each others nerves faster than you can blink. On a positive "S" and FSS13 get along like best friends. Last night they were outside with flashlights and nerf guns playing man hunt!
