BM is probably invited to The In-Laws' For Thanksgiving

TryingSoHard's picture

Ever since we were invited to SO's aunt's house for Thanksgiving, we've had an intuition that we'll be walking into a trap if we go. Based on my historical research (getting screwed by these people many times before), one of three things could happen:

1. BM was invited long before we were and she'll leave before we get there (SO has a job where he has to work mornings, and the in laws know it. Great opportunity to see precious BM!).

Staying Together For The Kids

AliceP's picture

I attend a lot of birthday parties one just last night and this is what I observe. It’s X’s 5th birthday his older brother is there, his new baby half-sister is not. She is at home with his step dad under the premise that she is sick but really step dad hates going to these things. His step sister isn’t there because her mother moved her 3 state lines away from his step dad to hook up with a guy on the internet. X’s maternal grandpa is there with his wife, his maternal grandma is there alone.

hmm, does my bk's soon to be sm dislike them, like some of us..??

I dunno, just some food for thought.
i have two bk's with exh (ds13 & dd11) of couse they are angels...LOL NOT!!!!!
Seriously though, they are really good kids. I am told all the time how polite, mannered, pleasant, kids they are. Im not a blind momma, and i was young once too. These polite, manneredm pleasant kids have that "other side" typical of their age.
My hormonal dd11. Ha ha Eye rolling, cockiness, attitude, smart mouth. Fights with her brother, very messy room, typical 11 year old not without faults.

Geez I'm home 20 mins!!!!!

And already SD is at it. She was off school today so she was home all day with BM. BF picked up her an hour ago already she is complaining that she is sick and needs to go to the doctor. Every freaking week she walks in needing to go to the doctor. BM no longer takes her because she has to pay the copay and prescription if needed. So she let's her be sick all week and then BF has to take her. Now SD is whining that she needs her flu shot. Fine but she is also complaining that she is sick. She feels feverish, nauseous, and her head hurts.

alone is beginning to sound like the best option....

The family I am in LOVES drama. I despise the extra crap that follows all the stupidity that comes because people cannot grow up. A continuing saga with the SDs is growing each and every day. I somehow do not think that I can ever forgive his children for how they have treated me. Is this wrong? He wants me to work on a relationship with his children even though I believe them to each have two faces. It seems that I am being made to chose. I never thought there was a choice. I love this man but cannot understand his children. Help!!!!

Step mom's new abode - ALONE!

mia23's picture

Well, it's week two after the big move and I am enjoying the tranquility and relaxation of not being around the mentally ill, very irritating and frustrating 25 year old stepson who seems to not be able to give up smoking cannabis! My husband is coming to terms with me moving, sleeps over on weekends and has dinner some nights with me through the week. So far it's going well and I feel like I have a new lease on life. My stress stomach contractions have completely stopped and I feel like I have some energy now. I actually walk the dog every morning (get up at 5am!).

At what age do you allow kids to self administer meds?

PrincessFiona's picture

Ok, I just need a reality check. This happens occationally and it always makes me uncomfortable. Let me know what you all think.

If SD13 is sick and taking medication (both OTC and prescription) BM just gives them to SD and says nothing to DH. He usually has no idea what if anything she is taking.

This has been going on for years, since maybe age 8.

BM told my boyfriend,His Balls are in my purse!

Stressed Out Mom's picture

BM just cant seem to keep her mouth shut. She always has to throw me in the mix even when they are having a conversation that does not pertain to me in the slightest.My boyfriend said she feels very threatened by me. I dont like this woman and Im getting sick and tired of her taking cheap shots at me. I do more for her daughter than she does. One would think that she would appriciate that I do so much and try so hard. I think the only thing she should be concerned with is that I treat her daughter good. I cant help but to feel she is trying to f@#* with me.

Antidepressants causing night terrors?

praying's picture

Let me just say that Ss used to have nightmares and night terrors when we first got him. But they became very infrequent after several months. We had a appointment with the psychiatrist who changed the dosages because the medication was not helping Ss as much as it should have. Ss also got a good talking to about him drinking while taking these medications. He has yet to show any guilt for this but that is another matter.
