Well, it's official, H and I are separated. He moved out this past holiday weekend.
I have mixed feelings. I love stbxH, I really do, but we just are NOT good together and never have been. I do miss him though, but know that once we get over this hump we will both be better off apart.
Our current situation: we have SS3 Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, then Wednesday, Thursday the following week (it's technically just under 50/50 because it's 6 days every 14). The pros of this schedule is that we have him EOW so that's nice not to have him each wknd. Another pro is that if we want to go to something like a class that only offered on a Wednesday, we know that we can go at least once in 2 weeks. Also if the skids are in a weekly class like gymnastics, we aren't always the ones who have to take them on a certain night.
1. Last night we got hit with a huge storm and the tornado sirens were going off. FDH called BM to find out where she was and to see if they were all safe (she lives on 3rd floor of an apt building). She said she had no idea what was going on. He asked her if she could hear the storm and the sirens and she said yeah but she said that she has Direct TV so she doesn't have anything local to check the weather (nevermind she is on her laptop and phone internet allll the time). FDH told her she better take the kids to wherever in their building that is designated storm shelter.
I have 4 step kids and 2 grown sons of my own. I've been married for 2 1/2 years, we dated for 5 years. My oldest step son is 20 and on drugs. He moved out of state 4 months ago and now wants to move back. A little history: 'P' we'll call him, dropped out of school, and lived with his mother most of the time. He stole from her, including his own brothers new school clothes, and sold all of the items for drug money. His mother threw him out so we let him stay with us rather than on the street.
Now hopefully i won't end up being one at some point and have everyone call me out on it! 
I don't have any kids but my boyfriend has a 12 yr old son. We have him only on the weekends and during the week he is with his grandmother (bf's mom) He is a good kid.Just the other day my bf tells me his mom asked if he was ready to take his son and asked me if I'm ready. I think that if I was ever ready for kids at 35 I would have had them already but because of finances it seemed I was never ready. The house, truck etc are all in my name (his credit severvely screwed up due to his baby's mom who took a car unpaid for) and can barely make ends meet without the bf's help.
For any young woman aged 19-26 be on the lookout to steer clear of a 36 yr old man in the "fingerlakes southerntier" region who prefers women in this age category.
He has a 13 yr old princess daughter; from all accounts she has adult spousal status. Druggie BM is not really in the picture, but unless they've assumed room temperature. . .
He just burned his bridges with his last GF who stayed around since she was 19 and now is about 24 yrs old.
He has an "unusual" first and last name, is into body building, etc.
Just wondering how y'all handle discipline in your houses? We had an issue with our SS this weekend and instead of DH and I discussing it he called BM and got her involved. Didn't say NOTHING to me and then finally I had to ask him the next day what had happened. Thanks bud. I just felt like there are three people in our marriage and was thinking that it really sucks that BM has so much control on what goes on at our house. I'm tired of it. Blah.
:O :O :O :O :O
So bi-polar/drug addict moving back into state after 5th time in rehab and his BM got him an apartment and a car. I informed my DH that I would have nothing to do with him. I refuse to see him. The past year with this kid has been a nightmare. No sooner is he out of rehab and then he right back in again. BM totally enabling and all she does is stalk DH for $. SS21 does not see any reason why he needs to get a job. DH told him he would not support him and is not allowed in our house.
