Can we skip Friday this week? And Saturday? And Sunday?

CRenfort's picture

It's only Monday and I'm starting to fear the upcoming weekend. I don't know if the weekends are that bad, or if I just constantly overreact. Probably a little bit of both. Nevertheless....I see a couple of "late nights at work" in my future. Or the tried and true..."I have a headache and am going to bed early".

BM out again on her weekend...

SteppingUp's picture

Maybe we're being overly critical and feel free to tell me if I am, but at least once a week on a night that BM has the kids (SS2 and SD4), she goes out. Does anyone else think this is ridiculous? It is a 50/50 schedule. Why does she need to go out on the nights she has the kids? Is it that hard to stay home with your children?

texts with bm, nothing solved, but at least we are communicating right?

ever since the doctors thing a couple weeks back, bm and i have had a little communication via text messages.

everything has been going very nicely, and its so great. But I still feel like bm does things underhandedly to piss us off, but there is nothing dh or i can do or say because we are on this path of "getting along"

Just got some news...

BM is now engaged.

I am really angry because if my BF had not bent over backwards to keep the peace with her there is no way she'd be engaged. If he was a thorn in her side like she's been in his her BF would never be able to handle it. She had an affair on BF and is marrying this guy and my BF has been nothing but nice and civil.

I feel angry because she's a huge reason why things are not good between BF and me...all her paranoia, focus on SD, unreasonable requests, text messages at all hours, controlling behavior have completely turned me off to getting married.

Constant Change

BM informed DH she’s changing jobs yet again (the third time in six years).

The boys and DH (and I) have just gotten settled into this schedule. Last time she switched jobs the boys were out of control, stressed, for months. DH told BM she’s not to change the custody schedule with this job change. Yeah for DH! In the past we’ve switched EOW visitation I.E. flipped our weekends and added nights to accommodate her work schedule. DH also told BM he's keeping the boys the same number of overnights per month that we have now.

SD12 & Facebook Complications

BM opened a FB account for SD12. BM has the password for it but refused to give DH the password. Both DH and I blocked BM from our FB accounts.

SD now wants to add DH, and that's his daughter and he doesn't have the password so of course he wants to add her esp. in order to monitor her a little bit as she is becoming a teenager.

haven't posted in a while - but we are filing contempt charges against BM

imagr8tma's picture

Since the last time I posted BM has been literally "off the chain" so to speak.

She has been withholding visitation, not showing up as the court order states, and attempting to fraud husband to get more money for insurance purposes.

So - DH filed the contempt charges with the lawyer. Lawyer should be taking the signed affadavit to the court house today or tomorrow. I am hoping the case comes up very quickly as if she keeps up with her patterns..... DH is not going to see SD very much until school starts again - in August for SD.

negativity

Mich811's picture

Stepson 7 is incredibly negative. He corrects everyone (but he's almost always wrong) and he is just generally aggressive and difficult to be around. He shouts "NO" in response to everything anyone says, and clearly thinks it is funny. He also lunges and attacks under the guise of "play", but sometimes it really hurts me!
