Fiance mad because I "don't like spending time with his family"

Soon-to-be-Step-Mommy's picture

Here we are in another argument because I don't feel like going over to his parents house tonight. I have 2 tests to study for let alone the fact I worked all day and really just dont feel like going! He says I constantly make up "excuses" so that I dont have to go. Well most of the time those EXCUSES are valid reasons as to why I will not go: i.e. studying/homework! Its true, I dont LOVE hanging with his parents all the time. Once in a while is ok, but its more than once in a while that he wants me to go over there. BLAH!! Anyone else feel this way???

Wish my son luck for when he gets home!!!

My son is not doing so well in math. He can do it he just chooses not to. He told me he could get tutoring in school. So I thought he was getting it during school hours and not after.

I got a call from his teacher and she wanted to see if I could have him commit to just 1 day a week to stay after school for to tutoring. So after we talking we realize that he lied to me and to her by telling her that he has way too much to do after school to do tutoring.

Help Needed with Crazy Ex-wife

Hi all. My fiance and I have been best friends since high school. We both married other people (twice! yikes!)and remained in touch off and on for 22 years. His second ex-wife is the problem. They got married because she went off the pill without telling him and got pregnant. They had broken up for a few weeks after she told him she went off the pill (two weeks previously) but before she told him she was pregnant. I had wanted to pursue a relationship with him, until I learned she got pregnant. At that point, I backed away, giving him space to decide what he wanted to do.

bm and her claim to be disabled b/c of being a single mom

purpledaisies's picture

I blogged about this in Nov. When bm said that ss15 hates dh for leaving her to be a single mom and all the sacrifices she has had to make so that means she is disabled according to her.

So anyway we have set the record straight with ss15, he doesn't hate his dad and he also told us that bm is not disabled. She is just spreading lies.

Bratty Little SD5

My SD5 has to work on some of her brat issues. This weekend it was ignoring me when I was giving her direction and then once being corrected to covers her ears and closes her eyes. Lovely. When asked why she makes these bad choices she says "my brain tells me to". LOL At the changeover I told BM what behavior correction we were working on and she said she would continue to address it and speak to her H the SF about doing so as well as he provides SD5's daycare. Oh boy. How useless. I'm sorry he is a nice guy but SF is clueless.

Somewhat O/T: Joint Checking Account

SteppingUp's picture

I'm am fairly positive many of you will throw a big "NO WAY" out there, but I'd love some reasonable advice on getting a joint checking account with my fiance.

Let me start by saying that the child support he pays is taken directly out of his work check before anything is deposited into his checking. Therefore, we do not write any checks to BM from his (or what will be "our") account.

Have you been 'walked in on' before?

Ughhhh...I guess this unfortunate incident is bound to happen in some families-but so far I've never had it happen-until this wknd. And it was HIS D-not my kids (they were with their dad). Luckily we were pretty covered up but I'm sure it was obvious.

First of all she was not in the house-she was outside playing w/one of the neighbors-we decided to have an afternoon romp..second the door was closed-but the lock was apparently only halfway locked and had not fully clicked- (after we finally invested in getting our door lock fixed).
