We got a dog shortly after we were married. She was a rescue beagle. Sure I wanted to have her, but youngest skid, SD16 (now) -- she was 11 at the time, begged to have the dog. Of course, I've fallen in love with the dog now, and she's turned into more or less my baby. So now, the skids talk mean about her now, make crude comments about her, won't take care of her unless I'm begging them, etc. I have to literally throw a friggin' fit to make sure that she is taken care of if I'm not here.
I have tried to disengage, but when Im making most of the money then I feel I need to voice my opinion. My sd is going on a trip for school coming up this summer.
I dont have an issue with her going at all, actually I think children should travel and see how other people live and act and just see other things. But, my husband lost job....he DID find another one, but he is not making what he was, so we have had to really cut and watch spending.
So that's the thing now? Jumping each other? Little posse's of snot nosed brats ganging up on other girls and jumping them? What the hell. I remember being mildly bullied in HS...told by a bf's sister that she was going to jump me and cut my beautiful hair off (jealous! lol) but I knew she was all loud talk and no action...my niece was jumped for no reason last week, my oldest SD has been threatened multiple times...and I see it on the news all of the time. You think...where are the parents...but we all know.
In the state of Florida does my SO have to report if he has an increase in income, so that his child support can be modified?
Or does the EX have to request a review of the CS, which I understand in Florida she can do every 3 years.
Thanks for your help! We have been looking on line but do not see a definitive answer.
Generally I count down the days of the weekend when the skids are here. I hate every minute they are around. I no longer spend any time with them and I don't feel bad about that. I didn't know when CL and I started dating that I would end up being annoyed by absolutely everything these kids do!!!
I even get myself worked up before anything even happens by playing scenarios in my mind of what I THINK will happen.
Today and much of this past weekend I've felt blah. Just tired. Tired of dealing with kids who don't put ANYTHING away. Tired of being a broken record. Tired of listening to the SO complain that my kids are messy and i know they are beign slobs and am actively trying to get them to clean up. Grounding, privilege loss, phones turned off, I've done it. Neither have video games or cells or anything that needs charging or can be played. They are one step away from sitting on their beds with tehir hands in their laps every day until the end of time. Ugh.
I dread the switch days.Even though I am treated as if I am invisible and don't exist, I hate the negativity,glaring and laziness of it all.I have disengaged and that only seems to have added to my frustration ,because now all the things that I have disengaged from become last minute emergencies or never get done.DH just seems to have the ability to not let that stuff bother him or he doesn't care anymore.I need to learn his technique......Now, on the flip side when they go back to the other house my mood improves greatly.I can come home and find the food that I have in the fridge for dinne
A month ago, DW and I agreed to taking care of SD's 2.5 yr son while she works as a housekeeper during the week (2 hours away), and then comes back here and strips on the weekend. We told her we'd give her until the end of Nov to take care of him, and for her to get her own place. Considering that the money she makes at the strip club is tax-free, she actually makes more than I or DW does per week. One night she even came home with over $500. Of course I've started to notice that when she doesn't come home at night, she seems to come home with more money.
I feel like I need a nice lady's jacket to hold my bateries...
In all seriousness though, how do we remove these? Can we block them? Or just flag'm all as offensive?
Why do I have to point out the your kids are here to see you, not play in their room while you fill out (non-urgent) paperwork?
Why do I have to remind u to pay your CS and tell BM when you will be away for work?
Why do I have to be the one to get annoyed when your kid takes a helping of dinner that is too much for two adults and they have been told over and over to take a small amount and then get more if still hungry...this is at the same time you sit there and laugh?
Should have just went away for the evening to avoid being here.
