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?
Spent time with my SIL, my almost 2 year old niece, my mom, and SIL's friend and her 5 month old daughter today for a few hours. then Babysat my niece with my mom for an hour while SIL and her friend and daughter went to the store across town. dh and I were supposed to get sd7 this weekend (4 day weekend) it was a last minute thing on Wednesday, dh was going to pick her up yesterday after work, but dh and bm got into it and bm hung up on him and wouldnt return his calls and dh wasnt about to drive the 3 hour round trip to go see if she would let him have her.
Have any of you ever just wanted A.) give your DH the finger, B.) tell an entitiled little brat off, or C.) throw your hands up and just walk away?
Yeah, she has NO plans on changing. She had half day of school today. Thought she was gonna sit around and watch t.v.!! Had to tell her to get her chores done. Then she goes off and hides in her room. To read. Cuz dad is at work. Reading is fine with us...but again it is one of those things that you should do when all your other stuff is done.

First of Hello to you all..:)
This is the first time for me here,and I need some much needed help!!!.
I married a wonderful man,he can with 2 children boy 12 and girl 11,there bm is well,there are no word's,well there are plenty,but it gets me nowhere.
How do we quantify love for a child and how do we quantify support or how support is spent? It is not possible.
In MOST cases (but not all) CS is just part of the CP household income, it blends in with the rest of the income and is used to pay the bills and there are no issues with how it is spent because the CP is caring, responsible and is not out to screw the NCP. At least that is how it appears to me.
First I would like to say I am new to this sit. didn't know there was anything like this out there.
I'd like to thank everyone (again) who commented on my post yesterday. You all gave me great advice and a ton to think about. 
Sd9 mom lives across the country and sees her twice a year...Result? Sd lives w us full time...and I mean fullll time....too afraid to spend the nite anywhere. So why does sd tell mom when she calls once a month that she's the best mommy in the World? I'm more of a mother figure and yet I can't get used tothat idea and feel like I can't step upand be that for her. She's cold to me and barely hugs me goodnite. Any Advice?
I know this has been asked before, but how do you cut ties with someone that you love? God I love my H, but I am so over this marriage because of what it has done to me as a person (killed my self-esteem) and how I feel about marriage based on this experience (that marriage is so OVERRATED and NOT my "cup 'o tea".)
