DH and I were at my bio-daughters softball game last night. As we were getting ready to leave her SM came up to me and asked if we could talk. I agreed and we went for a short walk. She told me that she thinks its best if we try to be friends so that we can share information about my daughter. The kicker is that she asked me not to tell my daughter that we are friends.
So it's always a day of adjustment. FDH & I both work at home so once SD8 is off to school we buckle down and work like crazy to get a head start on the week. But this is the every-other-Monday that she will go to her mom's after school instead of coming back here. So there's this feeling of something missing, but the possibility of more flexible plans at the same time. We like our weeks without SD, but we do miss her -- FDH more so than me, which I imagine is pretty normal and expected.
I think we need a new word to reference adult skids. When I talk to DH about his adult kids, I feel weird calling them his 'kids' because they're NOT kids anymore. Other than calling them his son and daughter, I don't even know how to refer to them. When I blog or reply to a blog, I feel weird because people might think that I'm referring to actual kids, not grown offspring. I don't want to get the wrong message across, which I think has happened in the past.
OK, so for the most part, I have successfully disengaged from skids & how BF is raising them with his "lack of parenting" style. However, I am really starting to think that these BF's/DH's are just plain insane when it comes to their little angels. Do any of you ever experience anything similar and does it make you feel as crazy as it makes me feel? Like YOU'RE the "bad guy"?
So..here I am living out the final rented days on this house with a man who I've told I don't want to be with because of his kids..
I feel like poo..in fact-I feel like I'm grieving because living with someone you can't touch or talk to properly because of your own choices is not a good situation..

Last night we had yet another fight about Mr. Kate's daughter sleeping in our room.
A teenager posted on here this evening and besides being annoying, it did make me stop and think about my stepfather.
He was 20 years older than my mother and she was his home nurse. My father tried to deport my mother (she was from England and her Green Card expired) after they divorced (married 27 years). My father left my mother for my current SM - I am civil to my SM but am too old to cause drama in their lives. She has married the fool and now she is paying for it.
I tried to reply to your PM but am blocked. I would love to have an opportunity to reply and offer assistance... (no not negatives, really). Are you able to unblock me? That is if you are comfortable with that.
Thanks
Our sitch is such: I have one son, 7, and two sd's, 7 and 4. Their birthdays all fall in the summer, sd7's was the last day of school, son7's falls on Father's Day, and sd4's is on July 6th.
Myself, my FH, his ex-wife, and her FH are all in voluntary group therapy, to help deal with the communication issues that their divorce left them with.
The therapist suggested that we keep an online, mutually accessible calendar for the girls' events. School, sports, social, etc. So, we do.
