If your going to start to read this, you will be in for a REAL treat, but please dont reply with " whats best for the kids" blah.. Im so f-ing sick of heating that, just let me bitch and say all the nasty things I want to here, I'm SICK of being nice!! Grrrrr!!

It's true. It has to be. Didn't Arthur Conan Doyle say “Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”

When BM was married to my FH, she never legally changed her last name to his. However, she continues to use it and claims to him that she can legally use it (even though she never changed it). Even though she claims this is her legal name, she files her tax returns with her maiden name. He has been trying to find out why child support can never catch up with her when she starts a new job and why her tax return is never taken even though she owes him a couple of thousand.

Guilty Parent Of Divorce. Guilty Single Parent.

Branding these letters on the foreheads of guilty parents dealing with toxic Xs and manipulative little shit children might save future generations of Sparents from lives of pure hell.

Coddling kids is never a good idea in any circumstance IMHO. Raising them to be people of character and substance can not be done if the kids are coddled and raised within an aura of guilt.

The forehead branding concept was suggested in another thread.

Sorry everyone, I need to vent for a moment!

BM uses this form of punishment. I've brought it up before...but thought it was interesting that it's been a controversial topic recently on Dr. Phil.

:jawdrop: I'm so sick of my husbands ex-wife. She is continually involved herself in his families life as if she were still a part of their family. My husband's sister just passed away after a long illness. His ex-wife was not even friends with her and she wants to go to the funeral. WTF. No one in my husband's family wants her their except maybe his youngest daughter(age 16). It's unbelievable. How do you ever get past the hate of all the crap that has happened, lawsuits, lies, stealing, etc? I don't think I can ever attend any type of function and be "civil" to her.

My little town barely got 9 inches of a predicted 20 inch snow. However, all the the communitites around us did get about 18-22 inches, so we will probably all be home together for the rest of the week.

Going well. Made waffles this morning. Gibby and I took some pictures to send to family. Loghead still sleeping. Havne't heard PITA and his friend emerge. Lazy Boye sounds like he is starting to move.

Why ask BM for the information regarding the kids? I ask this because it seems like more often than not, getting information from BM about the kids is like pulling teeth. If you give copies of the court order to the school, doctor, etc., they might be more likely to give you the information.

DH and I went through this with BM. She would not give us any information, and eventually we had to go to the school and doctor's and give them copies of the court order. They were very nice and we always got the information we needed without any hassles after that.

Wow- I'm a 27 year old step-daughter and when I stumbled upon this blog it was so heartbreaking to see all of this "venting" from so many step-mothers that I had to comment.

**As a disclaimer- my comments are really toward the moms who hate very young step-children - I'd say 8yrs old and younger.**
