I was wondering if this behavior was normal on a repetitive basis for 2 years now. SS5 seems to have a big problem listening. It's almost as if he is doing it on purpose.
He also doesn't seem to want to listen when we are trying to talk to him about things when he gets into trouble.
Let me give you an example:
SS5 will be sent to time out for hitting his brother. FH will go into his room after 5 or 10 min to talk to him and "release" him from punishment and this is how every single conversation goes:
The BM has been on my husband about settling up the finances that she feels she is owed. BM sent several spread sheets for 3 years of stuff she feels she is owed for. My husband has sat down and gone through all receipts she has and made his own spread sheets. She did not like them and redid hers claiming he owes her over $9000! She has not paid him for the house and that bill alone is over $10,000. She was suppose to have it paid to him by the end of January 2009. She also never paid him for the van she got in the divorce. She claims that she did yet has no documetation.
I'm trying to help my neice come up with a cheer for cheerleading tryouts. I never realized how hard this is - I've never cheered before. I can't seem to get anything to rhyme right, and my neice, who is 13, bless her heart, is TERRIBLE at creating cheers. I think she has the right idea, but they always end up looking and sounding.... Trashy. She always wants to put something in there about shaking her booty and thrusting her hips.
So DH's daughter's boyfriend writes on myspace..."going to be a dad"...mood: ACCOMPLISHED
How stupid can a teen get? Let's see how accomplished you feel when you are just out of school, if you even finish, and end up in jail because your baby mama takes you to court to buy herself more nice stuff in the form of child support...sigh
what do you think...If DH and BM are going thru family mediation (he is seeking joint custody, she refuses, and where I live you must go to family mediation before a judge agrees to see you...) Am I supposed to be there? Is it best that I stay out of it? what is my role? What do you think??? thank you so much, I am so stressed over the custody battle we will soon be facing...
I don't post too often. mostly i just read for advice. However, just a refresher before i ask for advice. I have a DS10 who's father is in prison (which means no CS and no EOW visits). he has been in jail off and on for years but this is the longest time he's been away, he has another 1 1/2 years. Honestly i'd rather cut all contact with XH because i feel his bad influence outweighs any good thing he could possibly do for DS. I've been divorced from XH for 7 years now. I am remarried but am currently separated from DH and going to counseling to work on our issuse.
My FH and I have been together over a year and have had minor problems with my middle child BD-12 which is very stubborn and bull headed. I've witnessed some of the issues in the past and her and I talked and resolved them. The past few weeks she has become a bit out of control she disrespects FH, smarts off to him, rolls her eyes,etc. He and I talk to each other when either one of us are having issues with his/my children and get things under control.
I am very grateful that I get to vent! Now, my husband and I have been married for 4 yrs. My husband was with his ex for 5 yrs, 2 boys and she was found clinicaly bipolar and he got custody. I knew that going in, I had a 6 yr old daughter at the time and now we have a son together, 2 years old.
Maybe it's because he's used to dealing with immature and childish women that don't fight like a grownup either, but we have been together longer than DH was with BM as a whole, and he still doesn't fight fair most of the time.
I don't tolerate name calling, so he doesn't do that anymore like he did initially. But it seems like he HAS to generalize and make blanket statements about me and my character rather than the issue at hand. "You ALWAYS do ABC." "You NEVER do ABC." Really???
Anyone else feel like they are arguing with a spoiled teenager rather than a grown man????
So we went to court yesterday and it got continued until May....Dang.......BM is trying to get the court to let her take SS with her when she moves away with her new Man.....now we wait...geez......the want to wait until school is almost over and then we can address the issue...
