Totally diggin..........
okay, so I'm totally diggin this sight so far. I took a little look see around and decided that this is my kinda place. So why not start of my first blog with the way my night went.
We (my girls 10&11, SS8, and I) got home just as my WONDERFUL hubby did after we had a long day of the library, the park and shoe shopping (all things that Wench never does). the corned beef and cabbage had been in the crock pot all day. SS8 called Wench as he does every evening that we have him and it went alil something like this...
Wench- "hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" (in a baby tone cause she doesn’t know yet that SS is 8 not 2)
SS- " hi mooooooommmmmmyyyyyy" (in a baby voice cause he knows she likes it)
Wench- " what are you doing"
SS- "We just got home we had so much fun today. we went to the park and the library and shoe shopping but we couldn’t find shoes I like so we're gonna go again tomorrow"
Wench- "really? did the girls get shoes?"
SS- "yeah"
Wench- "oh. I guess M___(me) figured you don't want shoes... what’s for dinner"
***SS Asks me***
SS- "Corned Beef and cabbage with potatoes
Wench- "EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWEEEEE.... That sounds Gross"
SS- "M____ says its good"
Wench- " that’s because M___ has an acquired taste for nasty food. tell her to make you something good to eat"
P.S. he loved my nasty food.... had two bowls of it after telling me " It's okay M___ she just says that stuff cause she wants me to hate you"

Welcome to the site, and
Welcome to the site, and kudos to your SS
Thanks. Glad to be here....
Thanks. Glad to be here.... and I KNOW RIGHT!!!! It's a shame she doesn't give him enough credit to know he's gonna turn around and accidently tell us the truth.
sell crazy somewhere else... We're all full here
Welcome! I'm fairly new
Welcome! I'm fairly new here, too, and I just love it here! Such a great place to vent and get feedback. Sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with all your kids. That is awesome! Your SS sounds like a very level-headed, with-it young man. Good for him for being able to separate BS from fact. Smart kid. I hope that BM is never able to turn him against you. It sounds like you all have a pretty good connection already. That is soooo great! I wish I could say the same. So glad you are here and I look forward to reading more of what you have to say.
Well... now.... lets not
Well... now.... lets not jump the preverbal gun here. By no means am I (are we) lucky enough for SS8 to be in a wonderful relationship with him. We are only in a "good" one with him depending on the length of time he is away from Wench. He is intelligent enough to know that she is wrong but she is manipulative enough to make him forget.

Welcome to S-talk. I hope
Welcome to S-talk. I hope you find it a good place to vent, contribute and pick up some useful perspetive from others who are living the S-talker dream.
Kids say the damndest things don't they? Congrats on the relationship you have with your children. Keep up the good work using SS8 to smack BM about the head and shoulders and to show her the reality of how a quality parent/child relationship and family dynamic are the antidote for vitriolic manipulation.
I have been Dad to our Son (my SS) for 16yrs since he was 1yo. Being a family with he and his Mom has been the core joy of my life. We have a great time (though we do struggle with the the usual teen boy head up the but situations) and are each commited to maintain our relationships with each other. This has been the best defense against my SS's SpermClan and their toothless idiot drama.
I look forward to reading about your blended family adventures.
