Dh did call her tonight b/c he wanted to get it over with instead of waiting til thanksgiving. he didn't want any tension for that day. He pretty much told her that it was our choice not to go and that we enjoy being with each other on Sun. as that is the only day we really get as he works most sat. and I work nights Tue. - Sat. She seemed to be ok with that. Thanks ladies as I wouldn't have thought to tell dh to say what stepaside said.

SS4 is really pissing me off well as some of you know i gave birth to twins a few days ago and SS is beeing a real pain for those of you whom have had C-sections you know the pain last a few days and so SS takes it to his advantage by jumping and bouncing on my stomach whenever i am nursing the twins he has been yelling at me everytime i teel him anything he yells "NO" at me and throws a fit i know jealousy is normal and mabey im wrong for saying this but somtimes i wishh it was just me DH and the twins am i wrong 
SO last night, I wasnt feeling to well and decided to stay home from my sd game. She is a cheerleader, so two nights a week are dedicated to games.
Once my husband and sd get home you would have thought that some national landmark had been damaged or worse. My husband comes in shaking his head mumbleing (well loud enough I could make it out), if I make it through the sd teenage years it will be a miracle. Then he turns to me and starts to tell me the story.
Made it through another skid weekend, but just barely. Same old crap that usually happens. BIL and MIL sitting there doting on the little princess and the same tired stories of the same crap she has been up to over and over again.
Well I got the new phone set up yesterday and immediately sent notice of the new number to BM. When DH called to talk to SD last night he informed BM and told her that this was the phone to communicate with him now. This of course was met with resistance from BM, who says he is violating court order. Sorry, but court order doesn't say DH is to be available to BM 24/7! She has his home/work numbers, she can reach him in case of emergency. Then she promises she'll be good and not call/text him 50 times a day. Sorry, but we tried that before, only lasted a few days.
I came home last night. ExhauSted. Slept for 12 hours.
Woke up this morning and SS9 had his school uniform and my throw from the living room wrapped around him curled up on the bed next to me. His breath smelled of chocolate chip pancakes and his hair smells like pear shampoo. I love this kid 
This will beat all you've ever heard! My husband's ex married a tattoo shop owner, has covered herself in ink, has pictures of herself half-naked with other women on the walls in there, and takes my stepchild in there Every single day she is not here with us. We have her exactly half the time, but on days she is there, she gets picked up from school and shuttled to the tattoo shop until time to go home and to bed. She has a half-sister (from first husband) and 4 siblings from new father. Mom is pregnant right now. On food stamps, won't work (didn't before pregnant).
Wanting to see if its like this for any of you? Yesterday I HAD to text BM (thought e-mail BM does NOT have our cell numbers). Our home phone was going crazy on the caller ID it would not show us who called we couldn't couldn't get to our voicemail So at lunch when I checked I found all this was going on so I texted and ask. Well its been more then 12 hours and still nothing back from her. So we guess it wasn't her but the thing is if she would have texted my DH and he didn't answer she would send the same thing 20 times or more or even call and ask why are you not answering me.
Fear. Obligation. Guilt.
I thought this was such an eye-opening book:
Emotional Blackmail: When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation, and Guilt to Manipulate You by Susan Forward & Donna Frazier
http://www.amazon.com/Emotional-Blackmail-People-Obligation-Manipulate/d...
For learning how to deal with parents, in-laws, the husband's/wife's ex, the guilty parent, kids and even my own self-sabotaging thoughts as a second wife and stepparent.
