Loca Grande cried wolf one too many times... As much as Loghead and I tried to appeal to them, none of them wanted to see their mother today before going in for her "surgery."
She keeps calling it a surgery, but I am now guessing it's just the biopsy for the growth on her thyroid. I'm not really sure. Heck, when I talked to her husband last night, he didn't even seem sure as to what was going on! Sadly, that makes me question what's really going on with her. Is this just another of a MILLION ploys this woman has made to get attention from her kids.
Bm drops skids off before she goes to work everyday when we have them every other day. My husband just says i don't mind their my kids, yeah easy for him to say beacuse he works i have to babysit while bm has no worries of getting a babysitter just drops them off as she pleases. what should i do?
the bm does whatever she pleases, doesn't follow court order, calls the house alot knowing that my husband's mother will answer and always gives him the phone (my mother in law loves the bm and hates me). Bm is friends with my husbands sister, my sd10 always comes to tell me what has been said about me when sister in law and bm are together, learned how to ignore and keep my cool.
So just as i suspected BIObitch saw SD8's new haircut and flipped out. actually threatened court action! is she effing kidding? what judge in their right mind is going to entertain that shit??? Poor kids haircut is so cute and she loves it but her mother has made her feel embarassed. This woman is working towards a court ordered psych eval! I feel so bad for SD. She has no self esteem as it is and being able to pick out her own haircut gave her the boost she needed.. of course until her BM decided to give her hell about it.
I am both a bm and a step parent. The situation involves my bio child but could end up happening with any child. bf of my bio kids passed away around 6 years ago. Prior to that the children had visitation with him every other weekend for around a 9 month period of time and prior to that he had supervised visits with a third party present and for about a 1 1/2 years the oldest child did not visit him at all after an altercation between the two in which law enforcement was involved.
Loca Grande goes in tomorrow to have a cyst removed on her thyroid. The doctors will be testing it for cancer. This comes just 7 months after her breast cancer scare. It is also the 5th cancer "scare" in 12 years.
Ok, so BF is putting SS8, SD7 to bed last night when they ask him. "Why do you guys make us sleep in the basement?" We have a split entry home. There is a lower level and an upper level. There is no true basement. The lower level is completely finished and has been for 30 years. They have a bedroom, their own bathroom and a huge play room (w/tv, game systems, dvd player to share).
Where do these questions come from.... gotta be from BM....
argh....... very frustrating!
1. skids that used to love you now ignore you and hang on DH
2. DH's parents live 8 hours (driving) away
3. you agreed to a vacation for 4 days at DH's parents house in a moment of weakness
4. at DH's parent's house, DH focuses completely on skids and won't take a break from nonstop skid focus to spend some quiet time alone with you because skids will get upset (hysterical) (or will "consider" it but then will make you feel so guilty that the quiet walk or quick game of tennis alone feels like you have thrown DH into prison)
This is my first day on StepTalk and I am grateful to have found it. The issue I have been having with SD has been eating at me, and although I have talked to numerous friends and family, I get conflicting advice. However, here, everyone seems to understand as we all have similar issues. It hurts that during the past ten years I have believed that my SD and I had a decent relationship. I have treated her with respect and have made every effort to build a healthy relationship with both she and my SS.
I KNOW that I am not supposed to parent my 10.5 SD. The Skid therapist insisted that I have a clear understanding of the no parent rule.
Great!! I don't have any bio kids, so my parenting experience is nil!!
However, I would not let any child (related or not) speak to me in the way that SD does....
So during dinner last night she makes 3 uber snotty comments, by the the third:
I look at H and say "Hey, she needs to go to her room"
