CS Question...

Hi ladies!

I'm expecting my first child in early November. (squee!) We are scraping by financially. I was wondering if child support can be lowered if my SO is expecting another child? Or is that generally not done? BM does not work, and recently dropped out of school. So her only "income" is CS and what her fiance makes.

OT: Need some perspective... Very long.. :(

So my birthday is on the 30th. I didn't end up celebrating it that day, except my brother and sister in law gave me their presents, (a toaster and pineapple plant) and got me some cupcakes. SS6 did not get me anything. but I did my best to let it go and was happy. BF told me we'd celebrate on a different day, and everything was good.

Opinions about nudity

Growing up, I remember walking around the house naked till I was about 6-7 and I suddenly felt the urge to cover up, nobody told me to. I just decided on my own. My mom had no issues with me seeing her in her underwear at any age, and only seem to hide it from my brothers when they were 11+. You never heard "Go put some clothes on!" unless their was a good reason, such as: We had to go somewhere, someone was coming over, etc.

Extortion

About a half hour before BM is supposed to drop off SS4 we get a text from her saying "I'm gonna be there in 5 mins. He's hungry, so if you don't come get early I'm going to take him to In and Out (Fast food place)"

BM knows we have a huge problem with what she feeds SS4, and that we do everything we can to protect him from her disgustingly unhealthy diet (she's almost 300lbs) His father is also somewhat over weight. I don't want SS4 to suffer the same fate as his parents did growing up.

No time for Madre...

So last Sunday before BF and I had to take SS4 back to his BM's, BF siad he had to go meet up with a soon to be new business partner "just for a couple hours", said he'd be back before 2pm and we'd all spend some time together before we had to take SS4 back at 4:30pm... No surprise he doesn't get home till 4:00pm and has to rush around and find something to eat before we leave.

BM's main complaints...

So BM's main complaints that she brought up in court were... We feed SS4 too healthy, and we challenge him intellectually... I KID YOU NOT PEOPLE!

I guess this was her feeble attempt at defending a couple minor complaints we made. Which was that she feeds him unhealthy (pop tarts for breakfast, pizza for dinner, and only Buddha know what for lunch!) And that whenever we call, morning, afternoon, evening he's always watching TV. Violent shows I might add...

Mostly just a lurker but I just had to post this. Thought it was too cute!

SS4 told my BF "You should marry outofplace" BF asked him why, and he answered "Because you love her, and you should be together foreveeeeer!" Too cute, it's moments like that that make this all worth it, my fears of him hating me and never accepting me into his life disappear.

When asked if his BM should marry her BF he said " uh... He should find a different girl..." haha!

What have I become?

I was severely abused by my stepfather from age 4 up. Physically, mentally, sexually, verbally, and emotionally. I started to do drugs at age 12, just to make it bearable to go home at night. I worked a full-time job to help my family put food on the table. In high school I worked extra hard to graduate early. I took on almost twice the normal amount of classes, and got almost straight A's. At 17 I decided that doing drugs was un-acceptable, and I would no longer be doing them. My school screwed up and informed me that I would not be graduating early, but a year late.
