I blogged this last night. SD is dropping out of school after just 3 weeks. They are trying to make her last the semester since it's paid for...we shall see how that goes! Long story short, DH says to be prepared because she will probably move in with us. I don't wanther here. She is lazy, doesn't work, does no wrong in DH's eyes, we fight over her all the time, and financially, I can't afford to keep her up or even have my bills increasing because she's moving in.  I cried on the way to work today. I feel helpless. I don't get any say so on her moving in.

Update...about to have a fit

Hi all!  I haven't been on in a couple of months.  Things have been nice and quiet here since HS graduation.  Dropped SD off at college 3 weeks ago...yay!  Now...not so yay.  DH tells me today that she hates college and is coming home.  She has wasted all of our money!  Supposedly they are making her finish out the semester since they have paid for it.  Bigger kicker, she doesn't want to move back home with her mom because she doesn't like her BF. They've been living together for 4 years now and SD doesn't like him because he doesn't pay her attention.

It's here...graduation weekend

Here goes!  Everyone pray for me!  Lol! It's graduation weekend for SD18. If you've been following me, I've talked about how as time goes on, the skids are talking to me less, and not even acknowledging me when I'm there. BM has made it clear that she does not want us at the graduation party.  I do not want to go, but DH is insisting that we go because SD says that she wants daddy there. We know that BM and all of her family hate us and it's going to be so darn uncomfortable.

I hate this life

Venting...so sorry. Today has been one of those days. It’s been filled with so many tears and I feel like DH doesn’t even care. Well, he’s shown he hasn’t. It started out with a huge argument this morning. Stupid stuff mind you. One thing that we do not do well at all with is communicating. I’ve had so much building up inside I think I have broken. The argument was so trivial I can’t hardly remember what it was about. What I do remember is that he turned something small into a huge fight.

Helping skids but own kids left out

Today is just one of those days. I feel like a bad mom because I'm having to fight to help my own child. Skids get everything that they want/need/and more.  I have two of my own kiddos in college. My ex H helps thank goodness.  He was military so they split the GI bill and that helped. That is over now though. Last night my son told me that he didn't think he had enough money to pay his rent this month. The boy hasn't asked for a penny in over a year. As a mom, I think, well how will he buy groceries if he's having trouble covering the rent.

BM at it again

So DH contacted BM to try to talk to her more about taking the house out of his name. She’s ruined his credit. She won’t pay it on time and she let the second mortgage go into foreclosure. He’s been divorced for 6 years!!! Looks like I’m going to have to hire a lawyer. Somehow he hangs up with a list of things that we have to help her pay for in addition to everything else that we pay for. I just don’t get it. She gets into his head and convinces him that if he doesn’t pay for more he’s not doing right by his kids. Doesn’t matter that they spend money frivolously.

I want a tougher skin and a more observant DH

If you follow me, you know that I feel that the skids can’t stand me but they put on an act around DH so I’m the one who looks crazy if I say anything. They won’t even answer me if I talk to them when DH is out of the room. I would video it or something but no matter what I know that DH will never believe the precious angels do anything wrong. With that being said....I went with DH to a school function yesterday. I’m really starting to hate all of this. I just wish I didn’t care. At the end SD18 ignored me again. She talked to everyone and I just stood there.

Mini wife keeps it going

So we went on our anniversary trip. When I planned it, I had no idea that SD18 would be going there at the same time with her friends. Now remember, we live 7 miles from SD. Of course we had to plan a whole day to see her. She comes running up, jumps into DH’s arms and wraps her legs around his waist. We are talking they held onto each other hugging like this for some time. You would think she hadn’t seen him just last week. When she gets down, she starts introducing daddy to all of her friends. Yes the little brat didn’t even acknowledge me standing there.

Emotional wreck today

I’m such an emotional wreck today. I can’t stop crying. I guess you can say I’m having a pity party. Many of you know that my two kids are away at college. They are not near by so it’s a weekend trip to see them. My son asked DH and I to come up for one of his games. My son is the type of kid that doesn’t ask for something unless it means something to him. He’s kind of a depressed kid. He sees stuff his dad does for his sister and he always feels left out. DH and I said of course! Well guess what. There isn’t a free weekend where DH’s kids don’t have an activity.

The princess is graduating

So SD will be graduating high school in May. My DD graduated 3 years prior. We didn’t spend a lot of  money on a party for her. I made cupcakes and food for her friends but I did spend months making her some momentos of her life through pics from ideas on Pinterest. Now SD won’t have such a simple little gathering. You see, they have to rent out a venue for her, cater it and I’m sure have entertainment. DH keeps asking me if we can make her something like I did for my daughter.
