:jawdrop: I you have been following my blog you know what a total and complete mess BM made of things this weekend. She was the more difficult with me and fdh than she has ever been.after all the smoke cleared, FDH and I reflected and talked about everything, the texts (too many), the phone calls (too forgiving and cooperative on our part) andcwhat we can improve upon in case this happens again. Hahaha! You know it will happen again!

I don't understand...

DH's daughter has his last name, I don't get it. DH and ex gf were never married, it was a barely couple of month long relationship, not a happy one, she told him she was on bc, condom broke, she cheated, then came and told him she was pregnant after they broke up, She wasn't even positive he was the father, he said he didn't want her to have it, she had it anyhow. Since having the child, she has had more than her fair share of men in and out of her place of residence.

The Ten Commandments of Co-Parenting (feel free to add more)

1. Resolve conflicts without putting kids in the middle. This requires being objective about your children’s needs (and not confusing them with your own) and compromising when the situation warrants. Stick with a conflict until it’s resolved; don’t let a problem fester and then punish the other parent passive-aggressively or be difficult in unrelated situations.

Birthday bummer

So, my birthday was this past weekend, had a wonderful time (skid-free weekend--he traded with BM to have it be that way!)
He'd ordered my "big" birthday present, but it hadn't arrived yet. No big deal, had a terrific time.
So, it's supposed to be delivered today.

Hi all, I'm new to posting/blogging but have been browsing StepTalk for a long time. Been with DH for 18 years, married for 12, 3 bios with my DH and 2 adult skids. They're entitled, but probably not a patch on many that I've read about here.

DF put me in my place this weekend.

On Friday BM dropped off the skids and she also gave us SS3's old car seat. DF brought it inside and said that BM thought we could use it for the new baby. We both were a little dumbfounded at her sudden generosity and thoughtfulness. The car seat is in great shape. She had the information packet still attached underneath the seat so I opened it up to read it (I was going to check the model number to make sure it's not recalled or anything). It is an infant-toddler seat that says you can't use it until the baby is 1 year old.
