FDH worked late both Monday and Tuesday nights this week. I picked up both skids and our baby and did everything both nights, and he got home after they were in bed and then played Call of Duty until midnight both nights. So last night I mentioned that it'd be nice if I could have a little "break" from the kids to get some cleaning and maybe a few little wedding projects done. He got pissy and said that he's been at work, it's not like he's gotten a break. He doesn't go to work until 1pm when he works late!! How is from 8am-1pm without kids NOT a break????

I'm about to send a note to "step"daughter's biological father's girlfriend. (Please read previous blogs if you haven't followed backstory here...it's too long to explain) We are trying to open communication between us and biodad. Last week I messaged biodad on Facebook asking him for his phone number so that we can chat with him for SD6's sake. I haven't heard a response but I'm also not sure if he even checks his facebook very often.

Two weeks ago FDH received a letter from the Child Support Agency that he would be required to have SS3 on his insurance. He just got a new job and we were excited to be able to put our son on his insurance because it's really cheap for +1 plan. My son is on my insurance right now but we'd save about $100 a month by having him on FDH's. BM works for a health insurance company so we couldn't figure out why the state suddenly wants FDH to put SS on his insurance...it's not like his is any cheaper than hers.

Not to blog hog but I need some more info. FDH fought for joint custody but in our state it is VERY rarely awarded. They want one person to have primary custody. However, their visitation was ALMOST 50/50, so it's called "extended visitation".

FDH texted me this morning and said, "Can you do some research for me on what the benefits are for us having extended visitation?" I said, "Uh...none!" He said, "Like legally? I always feel like BM is running the show...does she really truly have all that power?"
