Wierd situation; any suggestions?

crazystepmom3's picture

5 years ago my 9 year old son & I met a wonderful man and his 7 yr old daughter & 10 year old son and soon married, with the children in the ceremony. His X had abandoned the family and he had primary custody. We all got along great until the X decided to come back into their lives and create havoc. A simple visitation/child support case we brought on due to her not letting the kids attend thier activities was quickly turned into a custody battle by her along with lies against us to her kids.

Karma is coming back to BM and she has no clue...

I haven't blogged in awhile because busy with my son and stepson and work. But, last week everything we were waiting for came to fruition. As you know, SD15 no longer lives with us because we had rules and structure and mom didn't. So we went to court and on and on it goes...BM has created a mess and we are living it daily...

Still wetting the bed!!

My SD9 still wets the bed, I think it is bc she is lazy. So we buy night panties bc I don't want to have bedding that I have to wash every freaking day. It is her responsibility to let me know when she only has 2 night panties left, I don't wear them she does. It is also her responsibility to get up in the morning and put them in the trash, I don't pee in them and she can do it herself, she is nine for crying out loud! Our doctor say it would not be a good idea to put her on medication even tho I think we should. She, the doctor, keeps telling us she will out grow it. When? When she is 20?

Anxious and feeling resentful

I am 33 yr old bm of 1 boy, just turned 5, my dh and I have been married 3 yrs in september. He has a daughter, 12, whom lives with us.
My blogs before were to try and get an idea on how to deal with the sd attitude, not doing what she is asked, always wanting something etc. She has been at her bm's for 3 weeks and I dont miss her at all. I know if it was my son I would be missing him terribly.

God, give me the strength...

I called into work yesterday & spent the day running errands with DH. We hit the unemployment office first thing & got his paperwork filled out. We did a couple of things at the bank, & then went to the Social Security Admin to request copies of the kids SS cards. F.A.I.L.

DH had his DL, SS card, & birth certificate. We had court papers to prove the kids were his. They wouldn't accept the court papers as proof. I said, "We just sent off for their birth certificates. I guess we'll be back when they come". They don't accept those either. WTF???

Kids matter

I've been a step mom for almost six years to two amazing boys. I respect them and love them and they spend 50% of their time with us. Times have been tough, as it was not easy at the beginning - I was an outsider and not at all wanted by mom. Mom left the relationship but didn't expect "him" to find someone new. I tolerated the abuse for many years. Years of telling the kids how horrible I and their dad was. How dad left the marriage - was not true. How dad is not important and how they should not be with us. I was called stupid and that I was not liked and the boys didn't belong here.

oh boy

It seems like we just dropped sd8 off to bm. And now in a couple days she'll be back. And honestly I'm not looking forward to listening to her opininated self. Always throwing herself into anyone's conversation. And she always thinks she's right yur 8 not 88. When I say something to her like mind your buisness no one's talking to you. Hubby gets irratated,I'm like tell her to stop then. When he's not around watching she shows her true colors. I basicaly have to tell her if she can't listen to call bm to come get her.
