So I busted my but cleaning the house extreamly good and it's dirty in three days. It's not hard to pick up after your self why can't men just be self sufficent. At that on mothers day he says nothing to me. No I am not there BM but I bath them untill recently did all there laundry clean after them do arts and crafts with them all while SD4 is a shit head to me and I get nothing. I'm not expecting a gift but a hey thanks for all the work you do. BM is still a mega bit*h to me so I sent a very mature text explaing that her behavior is childish and it needs to stop it's been a year.
Hello ladies.
Well, I've done it again, against my better judgment and I've been taking it very slow, but guess what? This just might work!
I met a man who has three kids. Two grown sons, the 18 year old works where I work and I just adore this kid! The older one I have met once and he is a nice young man.
I was bummed out Sunday because SS did not contact me at all for Mother's day. He used to get me gifts before we lost the custody case. Since then, he has not talked to me, until he came back. I have no children and SS is the closest to me ever having one. I was down all of Sunday. But this morning I got a bouquet of pink lilies and a card! It said "Happy Mother's day from SS and Sarah". And they were such beautiful lilies too. I was so happy I cried. I cry for everything! SS even apologised in the card for sending them late.
I get frustrated at hearing how skids are so deprived. Yes, parents split up and things will never be the same but how does making them feel bad/sorry for them help remedy the situation? Shouldn't ppl have the approach of, hey now you have 2 sets of families that love you. Yes its sad that you can't be around both parents 100% of the time but see the positives!!!
i found this article online and it has me cracking up as ss16 and ss18 dont appear to know how to execute these!!!
25 Manners Every Kid Should Know By Age 9.
Helping your child master these simple rules of etiquette will get him noticed -- for all the right reasons.
By David Lowry, Ph.D.
Since the last, high orchestrated, heavily scripted by the Behemoth (BM) "heartstring" notes "from the skids" (TM) it has been "all quiet on the western front"
The last note came 90 cents postage due as it was filled with crushed sea shells and a st. patrick's day pencil. It was mostly "from VD (SD12)" Yeah right. Inappropriately URGING GG (biodad) to go to counseling, fraught with spelling errors and speaking in the tone that a young girl would to a peer PENPAL. Conspicuous by it's absense was the lack of any "happy birthday dad" wishes.
My FDH and I just had our first child together in February. Let me try to fill in the backstory real quick since I know it's hard to remember all these stories on here. FDH raised SD6 as his own her first 4 years, then the real bio dad came back into the picture. FDH had a son with BM too, SS3. We have SS3 half the time. On week days that we have SS3, we still take SD6, but she goes to her bio dad's on the weekends now (since fall). Life has been a lot rougher since we stopped having SD6 as much.
Right now, DH has SS Saturday afternoon until Sunday night every weekend. He and BM set up this arrangement about a year ago and it has been ok for the most part. There have been some weekends were DH doesn't get SS because BM goes out of town and takes him with her, and likewise there have been weekends where DH has to go out of town for work and can't take SS w him so he stays w BM. During vacation, DH is supposed to have SS half the time (one week BM, one week DH), but DH hasn't been able to have him because of work.

My husband rearranged the scheduling conflicts and we are going on the retreat.
He's going to miss the first couple hours of the first night to attend one of the games but his assistant coach will take care of the two on Saturday.
Easy compromise for me. I'm going to take that Friday off and drive separately and get there early for some relaxation by the pool.
So, so excited!!!

I have 2 ss's age 15 who take after their mother. They are doing drugs and drinking in our house. I have two babies and I am afraid I will lose them because of the boys. I had to call the police on the boys last week because they were fighting and wouldn't stop. I don't want my kids around this behavior but I don't know what to do. Their bm doesn't care about the boys and doesn't want any part in helping them and dad has given up.
