We are still on a high from yesterdays win at mediation. I can not believe that she agreed to not pursue. You have to read yesterdays blog. But, BM gets no CS. She was so sure the last 9 months that she was entitled to all this money. Nothing. Zero....
As a teacher, I've been home since Wednesday afternoon, due to the weather. We've all been home. Loghead, Gibby, skids and me. All of our schools cancelled. Snowed in. Country gravel roads frozen. Freezing temperatures.
Constant messes.
I know this has been a hot topic in the past, but I'd like opinions.
We are planning to baptize our baby. We're not incredibly religious, but it's important to my family and to DF's family. While we were discussing this the other night, DF said he'd really like to baptize his son, SS3 while we're at it. It makes sense that if we're going to do it, we should do it at the same time.
This is something he'd discuss with BM first. I have a few questions I'd like opinions from all of you on:
I am getting married tomorrow and i am nervous as hell it really is only starting to sink in now.
Am I the only one who once in a while looks at my BF/DH and have a strong urge to hit him in the head for his stupidity after something he says??? Cause that's how I feel right now.
We want to get the skids a little something from the new baby (their little brother, due in 5 weeks), and have it ready right after he's born to give it to them. The skids are 3 and 5.
I bought SS3 a t-shirt that says "Big Bro" on it, but also want to get him something else because obviously he won't be that pumped about a t-shirt
I guess maybe just a toy?
After finding this site last week I have really felt empowered. I have been pretending to like my SS15 for almost 10 years. It hasn't all been bad, but I think that's only because I just learned not to care at times.
I was raised in a pretty strict household full of spanking, grounding, and basic consequences for acting up. My DH on the other hand, was passed around and had no structure at all. He wants to be his son's friend when he is here (twice a week and on weekends) and I totally am against that.
So just working my full time day job each week still leaves me short each month to pay bills. So this past fall I had to suck it up and get a second job. But I really didnt want to waitress, etc. and have to give up my nights/weekends. I am fortunate I get out of work at noon on Fridays so I hooked up with a job babysitting Friday afternoons. Yep, babysitting. At my age (30s). How sad.
Wednesday night my BF picked up his kids s13, d11, and sons best friend T. for church. They
had a wonderful night. When they returned back to bm’s she was waiting on the driveway. She had been served that day for contemp. Remember she came into our church Christmas eve and took the kids and told them BF couldn’t have them even thought the CO said he was to have them until Christmas day at noon.)
Background: SD - almost 13; SS12, BD1 and we just announced to the kids about baby-on-the-way.
