Ok so my boyfriend and I are both 31 and we have been together for just shy of 2 years and we live together. I have a 9 year old daughter with my ex, and my boyfriend has a 4 year old son with his ex. I have custody of my daughter and her dad has visitation (every other weekend). HOWEVER, when I am in need of someone to watch my daughter, my parents almost always watch her for me...I suppose that makes me lucky, but it is what it is. My boyfriend on the other hand has no court ordered custody arrangement. AND he barely has anyone to watch his son except for his ex (the boy's mother).
:? does anyone have a 21 year

Well this weekend has been a toughy, with BM TELLING us that we had to have the kids all weekend, now she wont tell us where she is to drop the kids back to her, so we've got them again. I'm angry at the situation and the lack of power that i sometimes feel i dont have over my own life. My only way to cope is to take myself away from everything and just keep to my own space in the house, have a good cry and keep away from my partner till i feel that i can be around him again and not blame him for something that wasnt his fault...
Today is a good day so far. Got up this morning and made cupcakes with the girls...not happy with them...the texture came out good, but they sunk in the middle...yet they are still moist...no worries though, I'll just fill them up with frosting and make then look normal.
Saturday, my one day to sleep in all week.
DH left to have a guys day with his friends at about 8am. I heard him leave. At 8:02 the skids are at my bedroom door banging on it, waking me up to ask if they could have breakfast?!?
These kids are 17,15,13,12.
1) They have NEVER had to ask for food and are aware that they can simply go eat.
2) Their dad just left!! They couldn't ask him before he left, 2 minutes earlier!?!
We’ve been skid-free for the past 2 weeks, and I’ve never felt so calm and at peace. In those 2 weeks, I’ve reconnected with my spiritual side and started a diet, so that I can fit into my wedding dress. LOL
But when BM dropped the kids off last night, I immediately felt myself tense up as they walked through the door. I hate to feel this way. I love them, but I’m .. well, I’m not sure what I am. Stressed. FH’s and my relationship seems to change when they’re here because, well, they’re right 98% of the time.
So,yesterday was great! Before x-mas I found out my my ss was failing a class in school. This is not like him. He was on honor roll last year. So, I talked to him about it and we came up with a plan to set a meeting up with his teacher and get him some xtra credit and I would help him get that grade up. He was all for it then. But in the morning when I told him I was going to call and set that up now-his attitude changed. I knew I was going to find out something I didn't want to when I called her. His grade is down because of missing assignments and half ass work.
Hi ladies! Its been a long while since I have been on this site. Things are going really well between BF and I =). I have a question though that I need some help with. My BF has a 3 year old daughter and 6 year old son. I believe both have been subject to PAS. So here is the issue. When its time for BFs scheduled visit he normally picks them up from daycare. Normally both kids are fine. Sometimes SS6 tells BF that he doesn't want to go home with him and that he hates him SD3 is fine leaving DC.
DH took the advice offered in a previous blog where the judge said DH will have to waive his right to appeal to have this judge hear his case. So DH went to his lawyer yesterday and said "well I am not waiving my rights so please find another judge."
What I didn't expect was BM's reaction. She is livid. I don't understand why. Basically, DH is making the case take longer than necessary and if I know one very scary thing about him, he can be very cold and calculating. I wonder what he has up his sleeve for her?
