I have been wondering weather bm would win when she tries to take dh back to court to make him pay for college expenses for the boys. It is not a matter of if but when. Bm is money grubby and has made it very clear she will stop at nothing to get as much money from us as she can. She tried to put it in the papers that dh has to pay half of all college for each child but dh said no and was very adamant about not having it in there, this was among a lot of other crap she wanted dh to pay for which was way more than he was making.
I feel absolutely sick to my stomach right now. Idk where to even start. I'm just so aggravated, disgusted, confused and overwhelmed.
:O Ok-the more my bf shares the more I realize what kind of crazy bm he deals with.
His ex lives w/her mom and her moms husband (guess that would be stepdad). According to my ex the stepdad (his D stepgrandpa I guess) is the only redeemable of the bunch.
But...he foudn out the other day that when his D gets back from school bus (she's 9!), the grandma normally arrives 20-40min after that-
My DH just told me that everyone in the house is unhappy. He implied it is my fault.
I know it is not easy having a new person in your house, especially one that asks you to put things away and put your used dishes in the dishwasher (they are teenagers). I thought I was being a good example. I thought that I should not insult them and not ask them as if they are incapable. They used to have a Nanny who picked up everythng after them, but that was her job.
DH finally had a mediation scheduled today to reduce his CS. He was laid off over a year ago and hasn't found anything since then. He held off for too long (in my opinion) in modifying the CS because he was hoping that something would turn around in the job market but it hasn't. So, he and BM both received notices to be there today and lo and behold guess who DOESN'T SHOW UP!
So, the CS rep calls BM and tells her she is supposed to be there (it happens to be less than 2 miles from her house) and the following conversation takes place:
for those of you that have come across this age...what was the birthday gift given?
Dh wants to give ss17 $1,000 for college expenses (i think he'll blow it on something stupid)
He has already told ss17 that we will be helping him with furnishing dorm room stuff, DH breifly talked about getting him a laptop or computer also.
I thought that was nice of DH to offer the money, but i dont' think it's a good idea. I think use the $1000 to buy as much actual items as possible and have the rest on reserve if he needs it for books or something.
thoughts????
ahhhhhh.
Saturday I went and had my haircut and highlighted. Came home feeling good - DH said it looked nice.
weather was wonderful so my dog and I played in the yard saturday and sunday. it was just a good weekend.
i got my before skid arrival chores done so DH gets to clean the new messes.
i'm goign to work later than normal tonight adn miss the skid meal with the grandparents. Dh will be busy with work also adn the thought of listening to the inlaws oh and ah over the skids isn't that appealing right now. think i may stop and get a mani on the way home.
I've learned so much just sitting back and lurking (though have posted a bit). For the past 20 years I have thought that it was ME, that MY feelings were wrong; DH tells me how much he has sacrificed for me but I have always put aside how much I have sacrificed for HIM and SD these last 20 years.
So we had a big drama on Friday which ended up with BM, SO, and me going to the police station together about SS. Then Sunday BM got a summons to a hearing due to SS getting picked up on Labor Day.
Well last night SO went out to drop off the summons paperwork back to BM (she loaned it to him so we could scan it into the computer and make a copy), and to have a talk with SS.
It was around 8:00 Sunday night, I was chilling in my pajamas watching TV and surfing the net, waiting for SO to get back.
Around 9:15, he pulls up - with SS in the car. :jawdrop:
We got an irate call from BM following visitation. She proceeded to yell at Hubby for all the horrible things he did this weekend: ignoring his children, making them slave away on chores the whole time, not letting them call HER when they wanted to, and getting into a big fight with me right in front of them which ended up with us sleeping in separate beds. :jawdrop:
