It's going to trial

overworkedmom's picture

Blah, I was trying to settle this latest custody dispute with my ex out of court. This is the one where I am " endangering the children by subjecting them to high risk activates and have made BS fat". If you didn't read before those activities were sports, skiing and we took the boys parasailing on our last beach vacation.

OT- work

I am so frustrated right now!! I took on a project that I thought I could handle but the person who was doing it before me did such a piss poor job for so long I feel like I am drowning. I could spend a week just on getting caught up in this mess alone! Who has time for that???

Ugh, sorry I needed to bitch for a second!

Posting as a BM- My ex Sucks!

So the newest thing that my ex is trying to do is accuse my of "endangering our children by constantly involving them in high risk activities".

Now what are these high risk activities, you ask?? Well, we are going skiing this weekend. Also, sports. Sports are bad. And lets not forget that we (me and dh) took the boys para sailing last summer on vacation. BS and SS were old enough and met the height and weight requirements so DH took the boys up. DD wasn't big enough so we hung out on the boat and watched. Yep, this is why I am a terrible mother.

Small morning win for me

SS was having a bad morning again. He was refusing to do what he was told. I did what many of you suggested and started giving DH a count down to when I would be leaving him behind at 15 minutes. I was ready to walk out the door and SS still had not taken his ADHD meds, got his breakfast or put on his shoes. I told DH (who was sitting on the couch asleep) that SS was standing against the wall and refusing to take his meds. I told him, sorry, but I am leaving. DH jumps up and started yelling at me and giving me attitude, but I just told him that I can't beat SS, and he won't listen.

Anyone ever tell MIL off?

I am livid at my MIL right now. I am completely over the way that she thinks she can criticize me over everything I do. I did not invite SIL to BS8's bday dinner last night. SIL rarely shows and is to rude to even let you know she won't be there. If she does show she is a total bitch the entire time. Her kids have the most horrendous behavior ever. I wanted my son's birthday to be about my son. Not SIL. So MIL cancels 3 hours before dinner because she is watching SIL's kids. One had girl scouts so MIL was watching the other 2.

Feeling like a crappy mom today

BS7's birthday is fast approaching. At first he said that he wanted this stupid expensive toy and the deal was that since the thing was $350 he wasn't getting that and a big bday party. Well, now, a week out he has changed his mind. He wants a party... Well, thanks to the Christmas break and the fact that we have one of those lovely "broken homes and alternating weekends" I can't pull it off for the weekend before his bday. The next weekend that we have all the kids we are taking them all skiing and have already booked the trip.

Dammit DH!!

My in-laws (FIL and SMIL and DH's 2 1/2 Sisters) that I LOVE are in town and staying with us for a week. This weekend we are supposed to have the kids back on the same schedule of going to the other parents houses on the weekends. Now DH said that he is going to keep SS home for the weekend which means that I have no idea when we will get a kid break again Sad . I know he wants SS to hang out with family but geezus! I need a break from the little shit!!

This is bad....

I have been pretty lucky for the past year since BM came back. She got of drugs and alcohol, completed rehab and her sober living stay. She has been a positive influence in SS's life and has really seemed to pull herself together. It has honestly been nice having her around. I talked to her last night about letting SS go over my mom's house this friday even though it is her weekend b/c my mom wanted to do something special with all the grandkids before Christmas.
