Recap - SO has three daughters. When I moved in with SO six months ago the eldest was told she needed to share a room with her sister (makes sense because the next oldest kid is his kid.) She got upset and felt that all three of my kids should be piled nto one room while her and her two sisters took over 2 more bedrooms. Now my BKs are with me M-F and go to their dad's house on the weekends. His kids aren't there all the time.
So this rant is one I've had before but it's getting worse so here I am again. My SS13 is such a picky eater I don't even know what to buy for when he's over. He said he likes oven roasted chicken, so I made one tonight and he decided he didnt want any tonight ( which is fine bc it was amazing and my Hubby and I just about ate it all ourselves ) so he made some hot pockets and as he was eating them said these were his last ones so I said oh we'll have to get more and he said no don't I'm sick of them. Well we got him some popcorn chicken which he also said he dosent want.
Okay, this winter has been nearly unbearable..... But thankfully (and gratefully) DH hates it as much as I do. We have increased our outings (dinners, drinks, whatever) in the past couple weeks and WOW! - Has it made a difference. We have definitely sacrificed financially for these splurges, but ya know what? It's only money, and you can't put a price on sanity........ feeling SO MUCH better!!!
I have seen a few mentions on people's blogs about how their skid is 12 and can thus decide things, or waiting til skid turns 12.
Does anyone have more experience/information on what exactly happens when they are 12? Does this mean that they can just say, I want to live with mom/I want to live with dad, and they get to? What effect does this have on custody agreement?
Or, does this just mean that you can go to court to try to get custody modified, and skid's wishes will be factored in?
So.. if any of you have read my story.. I am currently with a great FH whom I love very much. I am fortunate enough to have him support me in my role as a stepmom and we have never had any isssues.
I have been a single mother of 2 girls (17& 15) for 15years and have recently have recently become engaged to a man who has 2 girls also (18 & 12). We have known each other for 27yrs and our kids have been friends growing up and also go to school together.
:jawdrop: Middle aged SD called the other day to tell me how I should raise my children. She was indignant that I would not let my bio be her friend on facebook and that bio did not return her text messages. This is the same SD who along with her brother has refused to talk to their father for almost 3 years now.
In this conversation I was told so many ugly things that I am still in disbelief! I will try to fill you in a lttle at a time as to do it all at one time would be an astronomical effort. My feelings about the outcome are mixed as I will explain later.
i live in Iowa - ss15 wants to live with DH and I because somewhere Dh got the idea in his head that at 16 the skids can decide where they want to live - i have searched the iowa child support websites and can't find this to be true - nor can i find anywhere to discredit it.
does anyone know??
Soooo bm is 5ish months preggo with her bf of about 6 months. (so they were only together a month before her getting preggo!) she kinda hinted around to dh today that they are probably breaking up and that she will be a single mom... WOW. So since her and dh broke up, Sd has been in 3 schools and she is only in 1st grade. and she JUST recently switched to a diff. school because bm and her bf moved into a new place and she couldnt get her to the other school anymore cuz she doesnt have a car. She has lived in probably about 7 or 8 places in the past 2 years.
Quick vent before I lose my mind, Skid #3 is having one of her PMS moments where she hates the world, won't speak if she gets herself in trouble, dissolves into fake hysterical crying (no tears, lots of air gulping and loud sobs). Her excuse for this behavior? She is PMSing. I just threw a bottle of midol at her and advised her taking two to adjust her attitude before I adjusted it the old fashioned way.
