Don't know what to do - flights

tigerlily's picture

DH and I don't know what to do.

DH is custodial parent. Mom moved to WA (part of reason custody was changed).
There is NO visitation order or any order about how to handle transportation (judge left it out with his ruling).

Status quo has been they go to mom's for Xmas break. No problems there.
Mom pays for flight to her. DH pays for flight back home to us. (Even though there is no order).

Life changes...

Happy Wednesday! I've not been on ST in a couple of weeks mainly because I've been busy with my new PT job that has FT hours and have also been running my small business. Which I'm not complaining at all about because honestly I've been focused on ME (bold double underline ME!!). And...because I have informed my FH that he is to deal exclusively with his crap of an xwife and rude kids, that I had enough of the abuse from all three (bm, two daughters). I told him I would be here to support him and OUR relationship and would do anything for US. Suddenedly, my life became much simpler!

text from BM to BF still coming and getting weirder

So on Sunday we (me and BF) rode our motorcycles all day and BM was having a birthday party for twin sd's that he had been invited to stop by. It was at a public place. His parents were there. BM's bf was there. So we stopped by, I waited on my bike while he went in to give cards, hugs, and such. Mind you he was doing her a favor by even letting her have them this day because it was his time to have them.

My stepdaughter had a baby and in order for my husband to see his grandson he can't be around me. He couldn't even go to the hosptial to see his grandson if I was going to be with him. She didn't even call him to tell him she had the baby because we are married. She has not liked me in over 2 yrs now. We use to like and get along very well but she got closer to her mom and things changed. When I first met her she use to disrespect her mother and more and now they are the best friends.

Proud of DH

Just a quick blog to say that I am proud of my DH! I have been blogging about his kids failing multiple subjects the first six weeks of school and his lack of consequence for it, but he told them going forward..."things would be different".

What kid gets to choose where they live?

Rags's picture

In initial (intact) BioFamilies kids don't get to choose where they live so why do people in blended families allow kids to choose where they life? :?

To me this is asinine. If I were a CP I would make it abundantly clear to the kid and to the NCP that I am the only one who decides where my child will live. If I were a parent in a 50/50 situation I would make it abundantly clear to the kid and to the other parent that I will keep my 50 whether the other parent or the kid(s) want to visit or not.

The Brady Bunch

Why isn't real life like the Brady Bunch? Carol was a SM and the dad (can't remember his name right now) always backed her up. The kids and skids all behaved, got good grades, picked up after themselves.

I sometimes wish real life can be like tv life... lol

and if i had a housekeeper like Alice that would rock too..

DH has been communicating with BM behind my back as he made choices to go to another city that was planned from the SIL and the I am ready to do this on my own. DH is done in my book I am beyond the heart and am now thinking with my logic and self respect. Need some luck this isn't my first rodeo however it will be my last... good night..

Growing sense of irritation

Last-Wife's picture

Lazy Boye spent the weekend with Loca Grande. He stayed and missed school Monday so she could take him to the eye doctor. He came home at like 9 pm with new clothes, and lots of shopping bags. He bragged about the new gun Gullible, her husband, got him. (A slightly bi-polar 15 year old hormonal kid does not need a gun, but this is the mid-West...) Thye took him to see Jack Ass, great movie, I'm sure. Oh, and they bought a new car that afternoon since Loca Grande's car didn't pass inspection!
