mothers day ring?????

skye22's picture

well once again I'm at a stand still with my mil. I love her to death but she just doesn't understand. For Mother's Day my hubby offered to buy me a new mothers day ring with the new babies birthstone. I have one now with just my sons stone. Our daughter is due in june and I had told him a while back that I needed to get one for her too. He said just to get one with both stones. I was so excited. I began looking online and chose a beautiful ring. I showed her a picture of the ring I chose and she said that I should add my ss birthstone to it also. I hadn't even considered it.

QUESTION

Just got letter from bm regarding all the activities she has enrolled ss in for the summer. THey are EVERY night! This just seems like A LOT to me. And I seriously can't be a spectatior every night of the week for the next 3 months straight. I'm 8 months pregnant for one. And secondly it feels like she is setting us up to fail. Becasue she has no life outside of 'timmy', no other children or a spouse. BUt We do have other commitments and I don't want to feel guilty about not being able to put my whole life and other childrens lives on hold.

Just venting

Just when I thought all was going well bm goes nutcase on me. On friday my hubby got off work an hour early and decided to go pick up his son from daycare at 3 pm instead of the court ordered time of 4pm. We really didn't think it was a big deal. SO today I'm sitting here at work and 'she' calls screaming/cussing me out. How dare we do that without her permission and all kinds of nonsense. I calmly said, "It is inappropriate for you to call me at work in such a confrontational and hostile mannor.

Is it wrong?

About once a year we get a family picture with my husband, ss, bio son and me. I scheduled that picture appointment for next week. And then I decided to make another appointment for the next weekend to take pictures with just my hubby and son. I don't want my ss to feel left out but I would also like some pictures with our son alone..... I'm not sure what to do. Now that I am 6 months pregnant I had alway invisioned having my son hugging my bare pregnant belly and my husband with his arms around me. It just feels like a really intimate photo I want with our son. Need some advice.

Naming our daughter.....

Okay so I know this isn't really about stepparenting but things have been going pretty smooth in that arena lately (thank god)! But I do need advice on another matter.......
I was wanting an honest opinion about naming my daughter after me (well in a way). My name is Nicole. And I had the idea to name her Nicolette. Does this sound cheesy? And my husbands name is Shawn. So I thought it would be cool to name her Nicolette Shawna. But I do have some reservations about it. I like the idea but need some thoughts. Does it sound weird?

Of course his bond is different with a son he sees EVERYDAY and a son he sees 6 times a month!

We were talking with family over the holiday about an old guitar that my husbands dad gave him. They asked if he still had it. He said yes and replyed I plan on giving it to "johnny" when he gets older. A bold family member said why aren't you giving it to "timmy." My husband simply said that he wants to give it to our son and changed the subject.
Why is it so difficult to grasp the concept that althought he loves both of his sons equally the bond and closeness will be different? Is this such a strange concept?

Santa Shop

About a month ago we recieved a letter from ss mom that they were having a Santa shop at school. She said 'timmy' was doing chores around the house to earn money to buy his family members Christmas presents. She said that she gave the teacher a list that had in her words, exactly, "both sides of his family listed." We thought that was so nice of her to share with us since most of the time she really keeps us in the dark. Well ss came to our house on Tuesday night.
