I will start with background, my brother has 3 kids 2 girls and a boy. He favors the hell out of the boy b/c he is a boy. Throws huge bday parties and such but nothing foe the girls.

Anyway brothers oldest DD is 17 and her mom is my brothers gf. Yes you read that right he is living with his first ex wife. I have to say that she is the most sane and good person he has ever been with.

Family Dynamics: things they are a changin'

Dh and I had our first baby together just over two week ago and I've noticed some interesting changes.

Background: I have dd12, ds10 and ds9 who are with is about 60%+ of the tIme. DH has ss13 who we have primary custody of. He sees BM eowe but this summer he is doing two weeks on/ off between homes. BM was absent from ss's life for about 7 years but came back around when she got wind of another woman (me) and now she sees SS regularly but... She's nutso. We have a restraining order against her and she constantly causes problems of one sort or another.

Ok, after a predictable sabotaged evening, I would love to hear from people whose husband changed their ways for good??

How many of you out there have husbands who changed for good. And how?. I've heard from ladies that after similar experiences to me accepted no change was ever going to happen. That is where I am now. Any of you have any positive stories? I am looking at secretly leaving this life. Is there any hope left??

SD's lazinessss is driving me insane.

She has been wearing the same outfit for two days. When DH asks her to help around the house she just moves things around in extra slow motion. Her room is just one pile of clothes stuffed in a corner, unmade bed and soda cans and an open bag of chips on her desk and wrappers all over the floor and her vanity is a mess with makeup open and spilled everywhere and tissues and cotton balls every where and that is what she calls clean so imagine it dirty.

Entitled Kids!!!!!!!!

My SS is turning 16 tomorrow. He has been asking over and over again about what vehicle he will get and when he will get it. It's never a question of will he get one but when he will. The other two kids who can drive were given cars by my Hubs, his parents and BM's parents when they turned 17. This kid is the self-proclaimed "good kid" who deserves a car and really needs one because he has so many social obligations... Whatever. So my hubs decided to give him my vehicle, a nice car that gets AMAZING gas mileage, for SS's first car.

As I predicted I was punished for whatever I did wrong????

As I predicted earlier. He spent all day trying to pick a fight. I resisted. One of his nicknames for me is big bird. He says it to me in front of kids. I'm a size 14 /and curvy. Never cared. I innocently mentioned it in front of his cousin and school friend tonight. The girls invited me to go with them and he said he is not looking Fter the baby tonight. So I went home. As soon as we got in the car he started, I had made him look stupid telling people about his 'pet' name? I didn't realise it was and he says it I front of all kids.

I need to vent...

DH was on his lunch break from work and told me we are getting SD3 back from BM tomorrow. I started the complaining. SD is so mean and rude to everyone because she gets away with it at her moms. It's so frustrating!!! She is like a little teenager! DH is at work from when she gets up in the morning until 5PM so I am stuck with her all day. She doesn't listen. She talks back. She really just needs more discipline, which I give her but she resents me for it.

A Bra?!

KiFire's picture

Picked SD7 up from BM... And she comes running to the car shouting "look Kifire!! I'm wearing a Boobie-holder!!!" and pulling her shirt down. Um, what? 1) wtf do you need a bra for? 2) wtf are you pulling your shirt down OUTSIDE in PUBLIC for?? and 3) Who the hell thought you were old enough for a bra when you can't even button your own pants? FDH looked suitably horrified when I reminded him that she still required his assistance to get dressed and undressed, so he would be unhooking his daughter's bra for her. He nearly cried.
