Damn! Are we all bored with being snow bound or what?

Rags's picture

I have not seen StepTalk hoppin this much in a while. Or maybe it is that I have not been on as much in the past 6mos due to work issues.

I getting some great Stalker time in today with the 4-6ft snow drifts in front of the front and back doors to our house. I have to say that even though the Skid flunking out of Military School has put some strain on the Rags family home life it is good to have a healthy 17yo to work the shovel.

Go freeze your ass of for a few more hours Skid! }:)

Unbelievable!!!!!! a referral was sent from SS's teacher to be seen by a Psychologist

mrsparks's picture

in November..
BM has been dodging them, hanging up on them and refused to get SS assesed by this group of people.
Today we find out that BM was requesting SS's bathroom habits from the teacher and the teacher let us know that she thinks it's because BM is going to tell the Psychologist that the reason why SS's behavior is the way it is/SS reverting back to soiling himself etc is because of DH and I- and she showed the teacher a letter from the psychologist today stating that he's been to the facility although we don't know if he was actually seen or not-

Feb 11 ..... The best day of the year.

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!

46 and still lovin life, my wife and my Son (SS). Though I have to say I have seen enough snow for a while.

I have been snowed in the house and working (occasionally) from home for three days. The three of us are making it a point to be in different rooms since we are getting sick of being locked in together.

But, as I said. It is the greatest day of the year. The only problem with this birth day is that I am now undeniably closer to 50 than 40.

Hey, I am a man and we just get more distinguished with age.

Tired of all the excuses

SD is manipulative. My husband doesn't see it that way. He just thinks she is being a regular 12y/o girl. She has practice today which I have to take her you. Currently, I don't even want to be around her. But thats hard to do because she lives with us. She asked if I could pick up her friend for practice. Come to find out the friend's mother thought BM was taking them to practice. Since I'm 'the outsider' the friend's mother said "Oh, I didn't know it was you, its ok I can find a ride for her". Not that I really felt like going out of the way to pick up/drop off someone else anyway.

Divorcing because of SD

Hi everyone. Well, the sd won. I am a newlywed. Only 5 months. But, my sd has caused so much damage that I am now leaving. I feel so very alone and terrified. Hoping some of you will keep me company through this ordeal. This 14 year old kid is TOXIC. I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with her and grateful that I will no longer have to deal with the abuse. I will be bankrupt after moving my WONDERFUL daughters back to Wyoming. I have no job waiting for me...and we will be moving in with my mom. The best woman I know! My tears won't stop falling.

Sick child? Sick BM!

So, the situation is this ... when BF and I met I was employed, he was in chemo and separated but living under the same roof at BM. Chemo ended, she moved out and to the opposite side of town, I moved in (when I was in town, as I traveled a LOT for work) we got my house ready to be moved back into (they were loosing their house in a foreclosure/bankruptcy), we moved into my house and I got laid off. Their divorce is still in process. We share custody of the boys 50/50, we have them Monday and Tuesday nights and every other Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

A beautiful moment.

Yesterday BF had SD1. It was nap time and like he often will he let me rock her to sleep, well after he tried the just laying her in bed method, which did not work. But anyway, I placed her in her bed and BF and I napped as well. He let me sleep on the bed and he took the floor, he lives with his parents and his mom has a SERIOUS problem with us laying in bed together. After sometime of SD1 napping she woke up, I was closest to the crib so I picked her up and held her for a moment. She whimpered and I asked her if she wanted daddy. She shook her head no and placed it on my shoulder.

Candy is Crack :)

Hubby and I mailed a Valentine's Day package to SD this week. It should be delivered to her today, according to the delivery confirmation we requested. I have to admit I get a slightly, not so guilty pleasure, out of sending SD candy. I mean, I am aware that candy is pretty much crack for kids and since SD tends to lean more towards the super hyper active side of the spectrum, she should provide BM with LOTS to do when she opens her present. HA HA HA Smile Take that BM!

BM is back to not letting DH speak to SS during the week, The middle boy even hung up on him

mrsparks's picture

when DH called the house phone last night.
DH: Hello...XXXXX...
Middle Boy: "Yeah"
DH Can I speak to XXXXX please
*fumble of the phone* *dh hears mom in the backround*
*phone hangs up*
DH calls back and no one answers-
He texts BM and trys to call her cell, she refuses
to have SS call DH..

BM did this same thing around this exact time of year
last year. As a matter of fact it was around Feb 6th
when she called the police on him for no reason when
he came to pick SS up for the weekend, as he always has..
