So This week was stressful not having my Steptalk for past 2 days! Haven't heard from MIL and BM been on the down low since we don't have SS till Fri. DH and I are closer and more in love than ever. I thank everyday for his support, respect, and love. Mushy I know it happens sometimes lol.
So DH was at court for maintenance on Tuesday and he was talking to the clerk about how can he bring the CS down as he is not earning a good salary anymore and cant affored to pay so much. so the clerk told him that they finnaly got her payslips and bank statements and that she is earning more than twice as much than what she has been saying so they are going to recalculate everything. the dumb bitch still gets CS for her two other kids so they no she dosnt have to support them all by her self like she has been claiming aswell.....Finally the wheel is turning on her
That´s the question I ask myself these days.
How much can one person hate, how much trouble can a person stir up, how much crap can she invent?
I´m talking about BM as you probably have figured out by now.
It´s been only two years, but with such intensity it has sucked up most of our energy and made it absolutely impossible for DH and BM to cooperate for the best of the children.
FSD3 got a nasty cold that resulted in pinkeye. EWWW!
Now that I've got that childish moment of my own out of the way, I find myself feeling guilty that I react to the child's illness with revulsion. I think I do that because I have a preternatural fear of contracting rashes, parasites, or anything otherwise itchy from other people and I think I do it because. Well. Kids ARE gross. ALL kids are gross. *I* was gross as a kid and MY children will be gross until they reach an age when they aren't plague monkeys combined with poor hygiene choices.
Was it just me or was everyone unable to get onto steptalk?! I couldn't get on for like nearly 2 days :? Massive withdrawals! Lol
This has happened multiple times now and I'm so tired of it. It's not my fiance that is calling me by EW's name. It's others....friends, etc. It's very uncomfortable for everyone when it happens. I don't know how I'm supposed to respond. When it happened last night, I just stood there and smiled like nothing was wrong but I was seething inside, of course. Anyone else have any ideas for how to handle it?
Not sure what, if anything, can be done. This is not the first time this has happened. BM takes in feral cats. SD is sleeping on the floor of their dilapidated one bedroom trailer when she visits there. They also do not have a functioning refrigerator. And SD defends BM wholeheartedly, nothing is EVER BM's fault.*sigh*
i guess i am only in newbie in this step parenting game (2.5years)! and i am young step mum... but how on earth do you learn not to take your skids actions personally?
i know i take things to things personally, but when my skids SS11 & SD9) give me the forced hello and the no effort. it honestly gets me so upset and breaks my heart all my efforts are unnoticed, They arent rude to me or anything like that..
We have two events to attend this weekend that in my opinion should require khaki type pants for SS14. Two weeks ago DH texted BM telling her that SS would need nice clothes. He texted BM to confirm he has pants. When she said he had black shoes and shirt but no pants DH said but will have by the weekend? Her response not my responsibility- you need it you buy it.
So let me say I would be completely and totally EMBARRASSED if my ex requested I buy certain something and I said no! And he would be all over me saying what do I pay support for?
My FDH and his ex-W have NOT had an easy time of daycare situations. The first began reluctantly at a cut rate and ended badly with allegations of child abuse (nowhere near founded enough to warrant a CPS investigation, but significant enough to warrant ending it) and the second took AGES to get going because ex-W couldn't afford her half and FDH was being flaky about info-gathering (like, ahem, when the sessions start and what the late pick-up fees are).
