asking honest opinions on skids based on your experiences

We have a very close friend who has five children total with his ex and four of them are from previous relationships leaving one bio child.
Bio child is now 13. Before the split the son was enrolled in sports, they would go camping as a family, fishing, real "brady bunch" style family.

I'm not exactly sure how long the parent's have been split. BM now lives in a townhouse and her DH remained in the family home and pays CS. Dh does not live in what could be considered a "bad area" neither does BM.

OT- Brother begging for help, police/mom/grandma oh joy

Apologies for previous blog. Was a little harsh. Side note-DH is HORRIBLE at meal planning and will not do any shopping when he has ss because it "takes away time" so the idea of me buying only for myself and dh buying for visitation does not work. He will run to the corner store for milk but that is it. He is pretty good about planning at least one meal for visitation weekend but the rest is out the window/eat whatever looks good, meal plans be damned. Example: bought a bunch of pasta/sauces/chicken sausage.

FCK THIS DISNEY DAD BS

Yay! Visitation weekend again! Bring on "Disney Dad"!
It's time to bake cookies at 10 p.m.! Without planning ahead of time so you use the ingredients I bought specifically to make something else!
It's time for ss to keep sitting between DH and I on the couch EVERY TIME! It's time to "pway!"
It's time to "snuggle!" (seriously, what 10.5 year old LAYS ON TOP OF their parent on the couch to watch tv???)
Its time to stay up until MIDNIGHT because dh says they need to "unwind"! Um.. Unwind fromWHAT DH?? You only worked overtime ONE DAY THIS WEEK.

OT-Time for my best acting performance if I want to keep my job

Dr appointment this Thursday, time for me to pretend "all is well". My work is infuriated that it has taken my foot a month to heal. Dr office said "it's a tendon, it's not like we can stitch it and make it better, these things take time". I've been doing seated work only. Boss and safety committee is seeing red and saying I should be healed by now. In fear of losing my job, I'm going to go to my appointment and let them know what is going on.

skids always come first....sorry for emotional blog hogging today

so I guess dh is working overtime every day he doesn't have ss...when I suggested a sitter for just one of his short weekday visitations (4 hours e/o Thurs) he got mad and said he is never going to. When I got mad and said our finances and a roof over our head are more important than video games HE got mad and said he only has a couple of years left (8 is a heck of a lot more than a couple to me) and isn't wasting them.

This week has sucked-OT

So for those of you who are familiar with my other blogs, brother back in the hospital AGAIN since last week due to complications with his illness (cystic fibrosis). He's going to be stuck there for at least 2 more weeks. He tried to hide the information from me but I snooped on his facebook comments and found out his FEV's (forced expiratory volume) has drastically dropped from 103 to 55. He has another infection and can't stop coughing up blood, doctors are worried.

frustrated-vent-visitation schedule horrible this year

Went to the doctor, long story short I am now stuck in a boot until Feb 3rd, my tendons are getting worse and not better. Boss is putting me in another department next week, he seems to think I can pull product by wheeling myself around on a office chair. Not too sure how this is going to work since not all the product is on the bottom shelf. I'm also supposed to get a ziplock bag and fill it with snow every 1/2 hour and ice my foot because we have no freezer available for ice. But I'm not supposed to walk on it. Sure, no problem?? That has not been possible.

MIL driving me insane with requests DH can't handle it

So after telling us a few days ago she had the "all clear" regarding her cancer surgery, Now MIL just called me at work because DH not answering. Apparently she has new news regarding her surgery and wants to talk to us in person. She doesn't drive which means this is her way of passive-aggressively inviting herself over for the weekend. She also made her request on a visitation weekend and doesn't want ss in the house period for the "discussion". Um...we can't just ignore the visitation schedule so you can make your demands, he can go to a different room.
