AHHHHH...what a good week! My kids flew out of town to visit my brother and wife and cousins Mon and came back Fri. They had a BLAST! I was so happy for them because I haven't been able to afford a vacation w/them this summer, and my SIL and brother MORE then made up for it. So I had some super duper excited kids and I also had a "week off" of mom duties which was needed as I was bordering breakdown lol.
H is traveling for work. Again. Left this am and not back until Thursday (just as he did last week). I have to watch SS12 and SS7 and I'm already feeling depleted. I don't know what to do. I'm trying to keep the routine going but they don't make it easy. The youngest has already cried several times (he is BEYOND a crybaby) and the eldest is the most passive-aggressive child I've ever met.
I guess the fact that I dont have any children makes this transition a bit more difficult for me.
Feeling this way makes me feel like I am a bad person and I dont know what to do. I dont hate them per se, but I am not in love with them. They're both liars, manipulative and smart-assed. Is it too much to ask a child to mind me and not act like a barnyard animal when they are in my home? I should think not.
FDH to BM: Why didn't you take the skids to gymnastics last week?
BM: Because I didn't sign them up
FDH: Then why did you SAY that you signed them up a few weeks ago?
BM: I never said that.
This is just a short update on Ding Dong and his summer vacation. He had been threatening me that he was going to keep the girls after his normal visitation time last weekend in order to get his summer time used. I had the backing of the State's Attorney if I needed it as the SA told me he would make sure the girls came back. Well, low and behold Ding Dong actually did the right thing and brought them back on his own. He was even a half hour early!
My MIL called to tell us that BM is barely hanging on. She was really shocked because BM was holding up pretty well at the graduation. They have her hooked up to the respirator and the lawyer is there having her sign some last minute documents. She told us my SS is very upset. My DH tried calling his son but he still will not pick up. We want to help and support my SS but he is not letting us.
I have to say I am relieved the step monsters went to visit bm for 2 weeks! Was not sure it would really happen, but they are with her, for how long? We shall see. I am a bit irritated by the fact that she has not paid cs in several months and my ss called my dh from a hotel and told him all about how fancy it was and how they ordered room service. WTF??? She is sooo broke she can't pay cs but she can piss her money away on that??? Seriously room service? Even if I had alot of money I would not spend it on that over priced service! Anyway we shall see if she can handle the 2 weeks or not.
Hi, I have just found this site and have to say it's such a relief to find other people have the same/similar problems as me!!
I need some advise. I am a new mom and this is my first rodeo. I did not know until I sarted back to work how much time it takes out of my schedule to get the baby dressed, fed and off to babysitters before I head to work. I AM NOT COMPLAINING! I enjoy every moment, but it has taken some practice and I so commend the mothers that have 3 or 4 kids!
If a cell phone is under my contract and I pay the bill, is it in my ‘lane’ to shut the phone off or block individuals who abuse the privilege of said cell phone?
