Worried about the the 1st full weekend with SS12 since blowout with BM

lostandconfusedsm's picture

We had a huge yelling blow-out with the BM a few weeks ago. After listening to her verbally bash and lie to my husband for the last 10 years... I had enough and spoke up. Needless to say it did not go well. We have caught the SS12 watching porn on the internet, telling nasty jokes to his 4 yr old sister and other things. When we ask him where he learned those things he says my older brother (15) showed me(from his BM). We brought these things up to the BM and well you can all guess what was said. He would never, that does not, and so on.

OT: UGH

So I am super sick. Snotty nose, sore throat, no voice, all over aches and pains, plus bloody nose and dry heaving. So this morning I called my boss and told her that I was really not doing well. Well, ha, so much for that. She said "Oh you sound awful" then proceeded to tell me that I HAD to come in because one other person was gone (someone whose been gone all week) and that we would be 'short' if I didn't. So here I am at work miserable and hardly being productive and there are more than enough people here for coverage if I wasn't.

HELP PLEASE

recently my parents changed there will and made my daughter the Executor and taking me out for no reason other than my daughter is younger. When i pressed the issue my father tells me that they trust my husband...just not with the money. We don't know where this comment came from. They have known my husband since he was 6 (we are in our 50's now), and he was in the USMC for 20 years.

Done - moved out

The last straw -- I have had it. I am done.

SD-17 does care about anyone but herself - she doesn't even care about the welfare of her unborn child.

She continues to lie, manipulate, steal, etc. I have tried everything I can to help her. She just lies to my face as sweet as can be.

When her father finally tried to say something to her about the fact that she is failing and not going to graduate -- she told him "Don't talk to me" and walked away. He just shrugged his shoulders and said "I tried."

OT-average health insurance cost family

herewegoagain's picture

I am wondering how much most people pay for medical insurance. We are paying close to 6K per year and that is having insurance through DHs work, which is a MAJOR corporation...been around over 30+ years, very well known...

Is this just outrageous? Our cost went up more than 30% from last year...

This is for employee+spouse+2

OT-anyone in the Irving, Grand Prairie, Arlington -TX area? about recent traffic accident or other family death?

herewegoagain's picture

I have a really bad feeling right now...if anyone is in these areas, please let me know if you have heard of a bad traffic accident or something which possibly killed a few family members...

Damned no matter what I do !@#$%^&

It just feels like a now win situation with SD25.
BM can admit to breaking up her family, twice, for infidelity and she still comes out smelling like a rose.
I call SD out on her verbal barrage lobbed at me and I am stinking of insulting parent and being passive aggressive.
Just because her BM lets her lash out at her, am I suppose to take it?
Is it too much to ask for a modicum of respect for our place as parents?

Child Abuse Case That Struck a Nerve

TheOtherMom's picture

This is not news. However, it is news to me.
It struck a chord for me as SS9 went through something somewhat similar while DH was deployed. Thankfully, MIL saved him.
This story demonstrates the root of my anger with BM.

BM wrote back to summons she recieved.

Well today my DH got papers in the mail from his ex girlfriend who they have a child together. The BM does not allow my DH to go to doctor appoinments and dental appointments yet she says she does. She says she only talks to him when it has to deal with the child, which is a lie, she will tell my DH that the child is in the hosptial in order to talk to him, when the child is clearly not in the hospital. She says she makes sure that there are no warsh spoken words in front of the child, which again is a lie. She and her boyfriend both give warsh words when it comes to visitation.

No wonder skids act the way they do!

Tonight when I got home from work, Loghead and PITA were working out in the yard, so I parked the car and joined in. After about 2 hours of us working side by side, they left to take a truckload of trash to the local dump.

I go in, I shower and start dinner. As I'm cleaning up a major mess in the kitchen (that I didn't make, but didn't complain about BTW), they come in, laughing about something. They each start to read a section of the newspaper, and then PITA asks, "So are you gonna right that note or what?"
