Should 7 year olds have cell phones?

Gigi82's picture

BM bought SD7 a cell phone to bring with her for summer visitation. Of course she never discussed this with DH, and only emailed the day before about it just to inform him that it was not to be taken away from SD. So now he looks like the bad guy if he were to take it away or put restrictions on it. It’s not like we don’t let SD call her mom any time she wants, and we don’t deny calls from her mother, even though 4 out of 5 weekly calls get denied when he tries to contact her. SD has already been taught that she has to remember to call BM every night before bed, or she will get in trouble.

hard time coping

I have a step daughter that is 7 years old and 4 boys that are mine. I would take these 4 boys over one girl any day! My husband and his ex have shared custody so we have her for 2 weeks and her mom has her for two weeks. SD lives in this fantasy land that both parents provided and now that im in the picture I have put reality into perspective for dad. Its one thing to do things with your children but going to theme parks constantly, zoo, build a bear, mall, chucky cheese etc. needless to say its rediculous.

Moving closer to SS ...I am getting use to the distance

SO IT has been agreed upon that my dh,bs and I will be moving back home to be closer to my ss. I am excited bc my friends and family are back home!! I want our BS to grow around his family. I just am not looking forward to dealing with BM. I also was getting use and kinda liking the fact of only seeing the SS on summer vacation, christmas, and Spring break! We have been away from him only 4 months then he was with us almost 2 now we won't see him till possible spring break ( if BM isn't a WITCH again) . Worst case in 10 months for now is when we would get him again.

Just more stuff.

SD9 has said things the past few times that she's been over here that lead DH and I to believe that BM is cheating on her DH. Once a cheater, always a cheater, right? Well, SD9 started crying last night, saying that she missed BM. SD said that BM doesn't get home from her orthodontic assistant job sometimes until 9p or 10p (even though the office closes at 5p). She said that BM is very distant and is always on the phone because she's "on call". Now, I know that orthodontist's offices don't stay open until 9:00 at night. Honestly, it wouldn't suprise me if she WAS cheating on her DH.

Humor for the day...

There is a reason that beauty companies make hair products for different races. And last evening I figured out why...

I am taking S to get her hair done today. Braiding lady said to run pink lotion through her hair and let it set. So, FSD, S and myself all did mini make overs last night while the boys went to see transformers. Hair, nails, face masks.

Augh, I'm in Hell

Help! I just love this website, I think I would have gone insane without reading the supportive posts from everyone.

My husband and I have been together for 4 years now. I has one SD (17) who is a nightmare of narcissism, greed, and awful behavior. I have 2 SS (15 and 13) who don't live with us, but are a dream to have around. They were raised properly, unlike my SD. My SD was abused by an awful woman, and has had a tough time since then. Unfortunately she is now turning into her mother, and my husband won't do anything about it.
