This may be a little off the subject but I'm being stalked at work and have been for about a year and a half. I just need to vent about it and maybe get a little advise.

It started in the summer of last year. I was out on our smokers patio talking with a coworker about needing to get my breaks changed. He over heard me and offered to do it for free as long as I paid for the breaks. I didn't see anything wrong with this. I had talked to him numerous times and being a single mother it would save me some money.

So my fiance and I started dating about 4 and 1/2 years ago and have been living together for 3 years now. We have a total of 3 children, 13yr. M; 10yr. F; and a 1yr. M; the 1 yr old is ours together. I knew upon making the decision to share a household as a whole family all the time was going to be a challenge but WOW. Everything is just spiriling slowly out of control. The two older kids were not raised how I would have raised my kids at all nor how my Fiance would have raised them either but they did have 2 parents that shared time 50/50.

so...This year is DH's year to claim SS2 on his taxes. BM claimed SS2 last year...But after DH attempted to file his taxes, guess what! BM had already claimed SS2...Imagine that...

So although they have an agreement, I don't know that this was necessarily spelled out in court...So what now? Just let her continue getting everything she wants? Or can she be held in contempt for this?

argh, I am so annoyed.

i'm home from work today with a bad cold. i'm in my pajamas, no-one else is home, and its snowing pretty hard. i have a fire going and its pretty cozy, despite me being sick. doing a lot of thinking lately about step parenting. a lot.

}:) Just hafta mention Friday's funny! My skids get picked up at 5 at a Casey's down the way.BD takes them.they r out of the truck nd into bm's car that's it. Every Fri and evry Sun 5p.

Here we are in another argument because I don't feel like going over to his parents house tonight. I have 2 tests to study for let alone the fact I worked all day and really just dont feel like going! He says I constantly make up "excuses" so that I dont have to go. Well most of the time those EXCUSES are valid reasons as to why I will not go: i.e. studying/homework! Its true, I dont LOVE hanging with his parents all the time. Once in a while is ok, but its more than once in a while that he wants me to go over there. BLAH!! Anyone else feel this way???

My son is not doing so well in math. He can do it he just chooses not to. He told me he could get tutoring in school. So I thought he was getting it during school hours and not after.

I got a call from his teacher and she wanted to see if I could have him commit to just 1 day a week to stay after school for to tutoring. So after we talking we realize that he lied to me and to her by telling her that he has way too much to do after school to do tutoring.

Hi all. My fiance and I have been best friends since high school. We both married other people (twice! yikes!)and remained in touch off and on for 22 years. His second ex-wife is the problem. They got married because she went off the pill without telling him and got pregnant. They had broken up for a few weeks after she told him she went off the pill (two weeks previously) but before she told him she was pregnant. I had wanted to pursue a relationship with him, until I learned she got pregnant. At that point, I backed away, giving him space to decide what he wanted to do.

I blogged about this in Nov. When bm said that ss15 hates dh for leaving her to be a single mom and all the sacrifices she has had to make so that means she is disabled according to her.

So anyway we have set the record straight with ss15, he doesn't hate his dad and he also told us that bm is not disabled. She is just spreading lies.

My SD5 has to work on some of her brat issues. This weekend it was ignoring me when I was giving her direction and then once being corrected to covers her ears and closes her eyes. Lovely. When asked why she makes these bad choices she says "my brain tells me to". LOL At the changeover I told BM what behavior correction we were working on and she said she would continue to address it and speak to her H the SF about doing so as well as he provides SD5's daycare. Oh boy. How useless. I'm sorry he is a nice guy but SF is clueless.
