I'm so tired of listening to my ss6 say that he gets toys and has so much fun with BM so he wants to live with her. she hasn't provided for this child since she left when he was a yr and a half old. she doesn't provide insurance for this kid even though he has a hard core medical condition. i have now provided the extra insurance since she only now due to custody hearing start paying bills. my DH and i want to spend the least out of pocket. she doesn't buy clothes and if she does they stay with her. she is what we call the disneyland mom. my DH and i just bought ss6 a swing set for easter.

SS18..who is only a junior and has another year of high school left due to Mommy keeping him 2 years behind because she thought he needed it..and yet is the worst mother in the world...MAY go to prom this Saturday. Not for sure yet.

SD has let her father know that Mommy would like to 'be there' for her son's 'take off'. Take off to what?

Not gonna happen.

SD and I are not talking in the slightest so I surely don't want her sorry ass here. And her mother feels she can threaten me at any given time when her kids are made to act like the adults there supposed to be.

so last night when DH was talking to his kids on the phone, SS6 and SS10 wanted him to put it on speaker phone, when he did, they made it a point to tell me they didn't like me. now I know that BM2 is most likely behind that because when they are here, they love me.. and I am nothing BUT good to those kids. SD4 told them it wasn't very nice and they said they didn't care. Now, how do I act when they come back??

we got to see my stepson for a short period of time today. my mother in-law took pity on us and brought him over during her visitation. she made a big deal about it, i wish she would be more understanding... we had fun playing outside and snuggling, watching movies. soon he had to go, and i could see my husbands heart breaking. i knew he was fighting the tears. i only wish i could ease him pain.

can anyone please tell me how to change my user name, i cannot for the life of me figure it out!!

I can't continue to live like this. First let me say that I do not live with him. I refused to move in because of everything that has been going on. I've tried to make things better and have tried to compromise, but it's difficult when you are the only one doing that.

We've had SS5 full time for 3 weeks now. I've been moody and melancholy lately and my DH has started to notice.

I always knew that marrying a man with a child meant we were making a new family with a child already in it. I also knew it was a possibility he would be with us full time eventually. But, I'm frustrated that I never have any alone time with my DH anymore. My SS doesn't listen very well, and is in a HUGE whiny stage, so I feel like every 5 minutes I'm telling him to stop that, put that down, eat your food, don't jump on the couch, be quiet, don't whine, etc.

So before I begin, please don't even bother responding with the response of your MIL or your DH's ex can be friends with whoever they like. I know these things. They are grown women who can do what they want. The thing here that concerns me is that my MIL and I have always had a great relationship and when my DH and his ex were married she was not that close to his mother. They got along and that was it. They never went out places together or hung out or called to chit chat.

ok, so 30 days ago DH gave ss23 the decree that if he did not have a full time job in 30 days he was going to buy him a bus ticket and ship him back to his mother in Tenn. Well, before we could do so, we got a call last week that out Son, 19 was in the hospital in critical condition. The night before, ss23 went out with his "friends" and never called, knowing the rule that he is to call if he is not going to be home. The next morning we got the call for son, 19, who for his age has serious medical issues. we left for the 6 hour drive to get to son 19.

I don't know WHY this seems so difficult! I appreciate that Hubby arranged the pickup so that HE went and got him in the morning instead of me driving at night, but would it kill him to ask if I'm even going to be home during that day??? Instead of just assuming that I have no life?

I know it's petty, but after the bazillionth time - really, it's annoying.

Mini vent over.
