So today was the day that DF and BM went to mediation to discuss a schedule now that BM wants to move 8 hours away from the kids. After numerous lies told by BM and the obvious bias that the mediator had for MOTHERS even though DF is the one that is the primary, they finally came to an agreement where BM would come get them once a month when they have extended weekends from school, spring break, and the summer. After the mediator typed up the agreement and came back, my DF asked if she could handle the child support part or would he need to file a motion.
I have what might be an odd irritation with people who whistle. I have to say that whenever I hear someone who whistles a lot, it affects my perception of that person. To me it indicates someone who is self centered and often overly self confident.
AND IT GRATES ON MY NERVES !
btw SD does it, lol. But really I've always thought the same thing about this particular personality trait. And she just fits my perception.
Anyone else bothered by whistling people? Anyone have particular perceptions about people who whistle?
Scary conversation with DH today. I read here so many that see their husbands giving daughers spousal status and treating her more like a wife than a child. So many with issues of creepy over-affection. I have always thought when I read them, "thank god DH isn't like that, we have enought problems with his inability to /fear of parenting".
I guess I AM a wicked stepmom. I see how so many of you get mad at the BM for not letting the skids come to your house. I am the opposite. I can't wait for the SD12 to LEAVE!! BM is always trying to pawn SD12 off on us (we have her right now 5 to 6 nights a week) when she has her. I absolutely LIVE for the Saturdays when SD12 is gone. She leaves and I breathe a sigh of relief! I dread going home from work cause she will be there. I dread waking up in the morning cause she is there.
DH and I got into it last night over procurement of xyz gift for BM.
He brought it up and I painted him the following picture...
As in - your current wife has spent the last couple of weeks:
1. Trying to track down xyz gift with you;
2. Locating said gift on the internet, only to have you nix ording because of timing with regards to shipping;
3. Listening to you plan how you are going to go out of your way on a business trip to procure said gift FOR YOUR EX-WIFE.
4. I don't want to talk about this anymore, I'm done with it.
Well here we go again...
We are to pick up my SD9 on December 26th and she is to be with us until January 2. Well once again BM is taking her out of town for Christmas (which is fine) but again we have no idea when exactly we are to pick her up or what time..now keep in mind we live 1 1/2 hours away and we are having a full house for Christmas right up until New Years...
So, I saved up almost 2 weeks of vacay time at work so that I could take it easy around the holidays....chill, shop, visit.
DH calls me at work and says "Oh yeah, I was thinking, since you're off anyway, we don't need to send the kids to daycare when they come down."
BIG mistake, DH. "I have plans, I will not change them, I did not sacrifice all year just to babysit the skids for 2 weeks. You and baby mama better figurte this one out, Bud. Oh, I know. Call MIL...she'll be happy to save the day!"
I wanted to say thank you to everyone who provided me with good ideas on starting traditions in my home with the skids. I decided on a couple things and yesterday made my first attempt: I bought each girl an ornament that I thought reminded me of them. I figured that I would get an ornament each year for them and then when they are older, they can take them to their tree. I was actually looking forward to giving them these ornament gifts.
SD3 was excited - she is 3 - to put her ornament on the tree - it was very cute. She thanks me and shows her daddy, my DH.
Hey Ladies,
I just stopped in to say Happy Holidays.
