I am posting twice today.
I am not avoiding work. I am waiting for something and Step Talk keeps me informed ... and I hate to say it, entertained. Just when I think my life sucks I come here for some Perspective.
I am thinking about how things have changed in 3 years. I first came here in 2006. I blogged once a week at most. I wasn't angry or anything. 2007, same. 2008, even less. 2009 ... holy cow. Blog Hog!
One of the guys who works for me is 44.
He has a teenage son.
His son is in the foster care system for Pennsylvania state.
When his son was 4 months old, his ex girlfriend moved there with the child. He came home from work and they were gone.
He tried to contact her and eventually she responded with "All I ever wanted from you was a child."
Classic Baby Doll Syndrome.
So for the past 14 years he has been saving up what he thought he should pay her for child support that she refused and I think he could afford to send this kid to Harvard.
I wanted to share a story with you wonderful steps...........I just bump to a step mom who live in a condo a few doors down and she hug me and said "Thanks for being there when I was down" It seems that a few days ago she was crying as we went to throw away some trash together and I just went up to her and hug her and we talk for just a bit...........I don't know her that well I just know that she has two step girls because one day when we were both walking to the parking lot I told her that her daughters were so pretty.....and the girls said ...."She is NOT our Mother , she is our step mo
anyone having issues with adult step kids? Anyone else get death threats left on cell phone by step dtr?
My in-laws are coming for the weekend. I do not mind when they come and have often told them they are welcome anytime. I feel it is important for SD9 and SS12 to have a good relationship with them. I have always gotten along with them. Then the past few times I have seen them my Mother-in-law brings up BM. She always asks how she is, which I have never minded because I feel the Skids need to feel free to talk about her in front of me. About 6 weeks ago we were all together and she brought up DH and BM's wedding. She talked about how beatuiful it was and how perfect.
Unwarranted rant against FaceBook… if it’s your thing, this isn’t for you.
*ahem*
I see it coming, so help me Jebus, it’s coming at us like an out of control locomotive… and it slipped in right under our noses. Armageddon… the “End Times”… there have been many books written and movies made about it… the downfall of man to computers.
Ok.. Explain this to me..
BM will allow us to retrieve SS5 every weekend, every holiday, every long weekend and winter break etc.
My story is super strange and little unusual to say the least. I grew up with both of my parents having the perfect "marriage" (20 year long marriage) up until I was like 11. They got divorced, it was totally unexpected and sudden for me and my sisters. (Have in mind that my dad had two sons with another woman before my mother, but they never lived together or got married) My dad had been cheating on my mom for years with this "new" woman and when they got divorced, he left our house and moved with her, had a child with her.
During the summer months we share joint custody with BM. Two weeks with her and two weeks with us. My question is... BM lives in the same town that I work in which is about 15 minutes from where DH and I live (50 minutes from where DH works). Our "meeting place" is also in the town where I work and BM resides. Does anyone know if there is a "law" or anything that would allow BM to refuse to let me pick up the kids on my way home from work rather than making DH drive after work since I am already going to be there?
I can't believe that we are so advanced in technology and psychology and stepparents are still rarely recognized. It is actually not common to have kids that have the same brothers and sisters with the same married, parents. I would think that blended families are soooo common that society was actually giving some recognition to the role.
Some of my observations are:
