Newstep's picture

I am not sure if I am the only one who feels this way :? But one thing that bothers me so much!!! SD13 drinks after SO and eats off his plate ALL THE TIME :sick: She picks up his glass,soda can, whatever he is drinking and just drinks it like its hers. He doesn't say anything!!! It grosses me out so bad :sick: I can see if it was hot outside and she finished her drink and he had his and she asked for a drink. But she does it all the time. As for his food its the same thing. We are eating dinner and she just picks off his plate when hers is full of the same thing.

Need some advice!!!

Things have finally come to a head and next week SO is going to file and order to show cause. BM lives with a drug addict who spent time in prison and was just arrested a few months ago. She is supposed to have him drug tested and give SO the results every Saturday before SD goes to her house for the week. Three weeks ago he didn't get the test results he asked her what was going on and gets some BS story about how he was working and couldn't get to the Dr for the test. He said fine get it to me ASAP.

Do your skids do this???????

Follow you around from room to room???? OMG I am always a little tense and irritated on Mondays when SD is coming home. But it's worse because she follows me around constantly. I get home from work spend a few minutes with her catching up and talking. Then I need my time to change and relax after a long day of work. She follows me around constantly. The poor thing is starved for attention. Her BM ignores her most of the time so SO and I have to be by her side 24/7 or she feels sad :?

Here we go again!!!! BM is delusional

So weather is changing and we are spring cleaning around our house. Sunday we went through clothes and cleaned out closets and made a nice donation to the local Goodwill!!! Felt great to get winter stuff packed up and see what we had for spring & summer. So I told SD we will need to go shopping in the next few weeks to get her some shorts and stuff. She was very happy about it and worked her little butt off helping me clean and organize her room. I guess when she got home she told BM who got mad :?

Does anyone know how to prove the right to claim a child on taxes?

SO has been claiming SD since the split for the last three years. In all that time BM hasn't worked. Well she just got a job working 12 hours a week. First thing she did was say it was her turn to claim SD because it's not fair that SO gets to claim her every year. We are talking about filing on the 2012 year which is way off but she is hounding him about it. Whining about how now she has to claim single and 0 on her W-4 and have too much taken out of her paycheck. If she claims her she can adjust her W-4 and get more money in her check.

SD's latest attempts to keep control.

So my week started out crappy with SO and his coddling SD and no boundaries with BM. He finally saw a dim flicker of light and started actually parenting this week consistently even!!!! I was very proud of him but also skeptical so I kept my mouth shut. Well she did pretty well she was very nice to be around even with the change. Well it came to a head on Friday she calls SO around 1pm saying she needed to be picked up because she was sick. She didn't eat lunch and her stomach hurt. Normally he would have dropped everything and run to go get her.

Ugggg!!!! Just have to vent

It's almost 9pm here SD just calls SO and says "mom has to work early so I want to come home now" he says ok fine and hangs up. I am just floored!!! I mean come on is it so hard to have boundaries???? How about talking to BM and saying you should have called me yourself and 9pm on a school night is a little late to remember that you have to work in the morning and can't watch SD.

Oh SO I could just smack you!!!!

Man I hate when I get like this. Things were going so well SO was really doing well with boundaries and stepping up. He seemed to be handling things and being strong where SD's and BM were concerned. Now I realize it was not all he made it out to be. I think that his passive personality that made him be their doormat in the first place is still alive and well. This weekend was a real eye opener for me. First of all SD was home all weekend long and did absolutely nothing that I could see.

Anyone else's Valentine's Day plans get squashed??

Or is it just me Sad Not that I am all too happy with SO right now but it would be nice to go out to dinner. SD came home from BM's yesterday "sick" again. She didn't go to school either, so when I got home she was supposed to be in bed but pushover SO let her get up and run around following him everywhere because she was bored. WTF ever is she is too sick to go to school then she should be to sick to be bored right???
