Can we pass a law banning divorced men with children from "thinking"? Please??

I love my DH I truly due. He is kind, gentle, romantic, a good lover and my best friend.

He is also an IDIOT!!!

BM and SD18 are in jail. Will remain in jail because BM's family has finally come to the realization that bailing these two out of their problems only a) costs the family money they do not get back and b) enables/encourages these two's behaviors.

So since Sat/Sun everyone has been on the same page. No one on either side of the family will be bailing SD18 out (and BM's family refuses to bail her out) of jail. They get to sit in jail and LEARN their lesson (that one does have to follow the law/ court orders).

So last night after the kids are in bed DH wants to talk. Prelude to the conversation was: "I've been thinking". He only opens with that line if he has been thinking and he knows darn good and well what he has been thinking about is stupidity to the nth degree!!

Condensing a 2 hour arguement into 1000 words or less: SD18 has been calling collect every day and talking to darling daddy. (He was told the phone bill is his to pay since those collect calls are nearly $8.00 a minute!). She has been playing the poor pitiful me card and dumbass was falling for it.

In one breath he tried telling me she learned her lesson and was going to move back in with us... :? Then she didn't learn her lesson since there is ANOTHER COURT ORDER that states she is NOT to live IN THIS HOUSE. Not to mention it is MY HOUSE and I FORBID her from living here.

I gave DH an ultimatum. He could grab his sack, man up and let the law teach her what HE FAILED TO DO OVER 18 years!! Or he could move the f*ck out and go live with her (sd18). But I was keeping the rest of the skids with me. I would not stand and watch him and BM screw them up any worse than they already had especially since the three younger kids are doing GOOD!

JHW - WTF... when did SD end up in jail I missed a blog!!! Thought she was at BIL's?

His initial reaction was to stare at me. Then go inside (all of our talks are held on the porch so little ears can't hear) and get himself a beer. Once inside he ran into OSS who obviously had been listening who told him:

"If you bail her out I am staying here with JHW".

He has not bailed her out yet. And he better not. I am not playing the younger kids have worked TOO HARD over the last several months to become decent human beings to abandon them back to their idiot parents. I would sue him for custody of all three of them and explain chapter and verse to a judge how DH is an idiot and should not be trusted any more than BM should be trusted with the kids.

Congrats to you JHW - you are an inspiration and the epitome of stepmom strength. Hold onto that and don't let it go for anything in the world! Biggrin

No I'm not. What I am is really sick and tired of BM and SD18 running the show and causing chaos in my life. And it is really sad when they are causing the chaos using my DH... I could almost understand it if they were going through the other kids... that is their mother/sister.

This is a grown ass man who needs to step up and be a man. Not a sniveling, whining, pathetic little do-boy who does their bidding no matter what it is all for the promise of maybe possibly getting a little bit of approval out of his oldest kid.

Oh believe me or not, but you are. Do you realize how many stepmoms out here actually WISH they had your will and strength to finally put their foot down against their skids and DH?

Just reading your words can inspire someone to get their ass in gear and lay down the law and change their situation.

It was meant to be a compliment Smile

Mel I have the upper hand.
My house, my rules: behold the door.

There are no "our" children. I have mine (grown)- he has his.

There is no debt keeping me here.

There is nothing forcing me to stay with him aside from I want to. It is his JOB to make me continue wanting to be with him.

Ripley three days ago he got that. He was the one spouting that he would be a piss poor parent if he did bail her out. Words I did remind him of (force fed) to him last night.

He makes good decisions, until he talks to her. Then he gets drunk on guilty daddy emotions from the pity-me-koolaid she feeds him and his ability to rationally and logically think goes straight down the toilet.

I've had incredibly good luck raising my 3 bios- on the rare occasion they have had slips (no JAIL mind you, lol)it took everything in me not to figurativley "bail them out" but I always stuck to my guns. It builds character. Whenever we held SS accountable, he'd run back to MIL- no rules, no school, no job required. He's 36, has become quite a good man, but it took a lot longer than it should've because of MIL's coddling. The raw material was there but needed to be molded in the proper manner. JHW, how on earth does he think she can come back and live in your house? THERE'S A COURT ORDER BANNING HER FROM BEING THERE!!! Men are sooooo dumb.

Men are sooooo dumb. <---- This! Definately this!

But I guess I am supposed to be an emotional sap and think she really has changed :sick: and agree to drop that order.

Not.Happening.
