Wow, I just realized I haven't posted since mid-December. So...hello to all of my StepTalk buddies out there!!

OK, so DH came home from work last night with a packet of Health Insurance information. It's time to sign up again for the new policy.

Because of the new laws that just went into effect, 'children' (I use that term loosely) are permitted to be covered under their parents' insurance until the age of 26. I knew this was coming, so I dreaded seeing him holding that paperwork in his hands.

Christmas visit ...

In late October, I posted that DH have given SD20 her Christmas present early. Very early. She received $100 in gift certificates, along with $80 for a prescription that we paid for her. She was supposed to pay it back. Since she never did, I had considered that the remainder of her Christmas loot. However, I (personally) would feel like a heel if she received nothing at Christmastime. We bought her a very nice bracelet, one that I myself would love to have. This goes against my previous blog stating that 'she's done for Christmas'. But I had to do SOMETHING.

...A perfect reason to establish boundaries...

Published in this morning's paper...

Dear Amy: I recently got divorced. My wife told me she had fallen out of love, and I agreed to leave.

We have two girls, ages 6 and 9. We're great parents and get along well. We try to be good for the sake of the children.

My older daughter has blamed my ex for making her daddy leave. She's out of control and doesn't mind her mother well.

They argue constantly. Our daughter is having trouble in school and is lying and being disobedient.

ex-husbands, current husbands, and all that comes with it

Many bloggers have made reference to getting along well with a BM. Seems like some are friendly with BM, and even go as far as joining in family events with BM, and enjoy that scenario.

My question is, to those SMs who have been been married before, how do the DHs handle this type of situation? Not regarding the BM, but regarding an ex-H. Does your ex-H get along well with your current H? Do they 'hang out'? Do they talk on the phone?

What is wrong in this world?

I just had to vent about this.

I'm a member of another web-site's blog board (pregnancy site), and I'm finding it harder and harder to bite my tongue. What is going on in the world these days????

I've been reading blogs about 'my baby daddy' left me with our 3 kids. I'm 25 yo and married for 12 years. I had my first at age 14. On and on and on. Some women who think they're feeling the baby kick on the right side of their boob. The insanity goes on and on.
