Because.... I expect children, in my home, to have good manners, be respectful, not trash everything they touch, not argue with everything DH says.....
I am ready to have my baby any day now, and listening to SS6 and SD13, and DH all day every day is exhausting! I brought up the fact, any day now, we will have a new born in our home, and does he think we will be able to continue to exert the level of energy we have to now with skids. Yes, they r doing normal kid shit, but to such an extreme, it NEVER STOPS.
I reported BM to CPS last night.....
And the big takeaway that I get from listening in from afar is this:
After marrying me, things CHANGED. DH changed. The relationship between DH and their mom CHANGED. And all this CHANGE is the saddest part for them. Even 5 years down the line.
Now DH knows that he's changed for the better. He says it all the time, that without me, his life would still be in a rut, and now he values so many things that he didn't give a shit about before. So DH is happy with his change, I'm happy, our kids are happy kids.
SSons were at camp this week and it was been heaven - lots of alone time with DH - it has been awesome.
We pick them up tomorrow morning. I'm sure they'll be dirty, tired and total PITAs from being sugared up all week.
I'm preparing myself - I know DH will be fawning all over them and catering to their every need. :sick: I know this is normal for bio-parents but as a step I find it awkward.
Oh and I'm sure BM will be blowing up the phone calling her precious boys....

Problem is the 2 kids (13yr old boy & 8 yr old girl) from his second marriage, they visit too often. Every weekend & every school holiday are with us. I dont have my space in my house. Alwys following their father whenever & wherever he goes. They are fine shame they don't have nonsenses but I don't like always having them around.They stay with their bio mother but she hates me a lot. She goes around saying nasty & hurtful things about me.
She's beautiful and DH and I are ecstatic.
Our first visitors were my dd12, DS10 and ds9 escorted by their father. I loved seeing DS9 and dd12 hold and love on the baby. Ds10 is not big on changed ( he's on the autism spectrum and needs to be eased into things) but still he came and used his manners and I enjoyed them being here.
SDs birthday is coming up, she will be 7 years old. BF and I went shopping and found some awesome stuff for her. Hair clips, hello kitty stuff galore and I will be making a canopy to put above her bed. At target I found this great book from American Girl called 'The Care and Keeping of You' Its pretty straight forward, it very simply explains taking care of your hair, teeth, body, and even as much as periods and breast development. I thought it would be a great gift for her. What girl doesn't need a guide?
I was talking with DH about this.
Now, he's never agreed with BM on anything. But if he were to agree on something with her, he says he'd not say anything but "let me get back to you," and then talk it over with me and tell me why he agrees with BM.
If he thought I was being too harsh on SKs, he'd talk with me about that in private and then I'd go back to SKs and say, "I apologize for being too harsh. Instead, xyz is going to happen."
As I previously posted, BM got pissed that FDH was laying down boundaries with her so she responding by filing contempt of court charges against him. One item was completely ridiculous but he may end up owing her some money on the two others. I think he has a good case and that he should also file contempt for her keeping the kids away from him and a couple other things including one thing she's claiming he did. The judge needs to see what's really going on here.
