As both a BM and a SM I go through and read posts just as they are to be taken... normal people coming in and blowing off some steam so they can hopefully continue on with their day as usual.
well no surprise but after asking if i would watch the kids for three days even though the ex doesnt want them spending time w/ me or picking them up from school she has the nerve to ask me if i will now pick them up from school; which remember she told the kids if i did so again she would have me charged w/ kidnapping; and watch them till her new husband gets off work to pick them up for...wait for it....the next month. :jawdrop: the damn gall.
I am VERY new to all the stepparent stuff. I was a childless widow when I married my DH in January. We had discussed his children early in our relationship and I knew there was a good chance that SS10 and SD5 would live with us at least part time at some point. That point occurred last weekend when we drove 4 hours to pick them up from BM.
So, FDH has scheduled Skype with Skeletor for tomorrow morning to tell her the "conditions" to him signing her second mortgage mod. They are things that she will never agree to as she thinks that she can have her cake and eat it too. The conditions are:
1. She will stop threatening to get a restraining order on me for using a few curse words. Realize that I am younger than she is and different things are acceptable in different generations (although I will never make that mistake again and will NEVER even utter another word to her).
I am to the point where I'm starting to think life would just be easier if I lived on my own.
This site is so rad. I know I have been a posting machine over the last couple of days and let me just say, having this place to just vent out everything that I'm feeling inside has been SO THERAPEUTIC.
When BM divorced DH in 2002, she really bent him over the barrel. She took 1/2 of the house, a vehicle, all the furniture, (including heirloom pieces he brought into the marriage) 1/4 of his pre-tax income, he carries SD on his insurance, and he pays for ALL transportation for visitation. (900 miles) Plus, she'd hit him up for money all the time. Not long after, he got promoted, and she tried to go after him for increased CS, but he moved and his income actually dropped, so she couldn't.
This moring we get a phone call from BM, Bf answers and BM says, "I know you have my brothers ipod nano, i'm taking you to court so you can pay for it." BF says, "WTF are you talking about, we don't have or need your shit take me to court you can't prove shit!" BM screaming at this time says, "I have a recipt stating I bought the nano!" BF than says, "Good for you, we don't even have a nano we have an ipod touch." BM screams, "Well be ready to go to court!" and than hangs up. (The nerve of that B*TCH!!!)
That's all changed with SO and SD.....
Sick, snotty child sleeps with clothes on.
Spits medicine on me.
Smiles up at me, naked on toilet this morning.
Calls me at work to tell me daddy gave her a bath as instructed.

I watched Teen Moms on MTV the other night. One of the characters (Macy) said this to her son's baby daddy.
"I would love to keep you away from him but I would never keep him away from you!" She was expressing her feelings of how the baby daddy was not someone she wanted to be around her son but that her son deserved to have a relationship with his daddy.
