BM Left a scathing message on DH's voicemail yesterday... I was able to send it to the attorneys email

**The message was left after DH texted BM asking why if SS was as sick as she claimed the night before, did she send him to school that day and the next-She blamed DH for getting him sick over the weekend, because we didn't dress him properly etc.. she sent him to school coughing his head off with a fever

On the voicemail she called him every expletive known to man and at the very end she said I don't give a f*ck what you do, you just need to care for your Fat/Ugly/Homely/Pathetic/Bitter wife!

The latest on "cowboy" SS

Today DH and I were just hanging out. We had the tv on but neither one of us were really watching it, just cleaning house and kind of doing different things. Suddenly DH looked at the TV and laughed and said something like, "Check out that moron". There was a comedy sketch of a folk singer, dressed just like BM dresses SS4!!

Help me deal with BM!

I am not actually married but my boyfriend and I have lived together for 3 years so I am referring to his son as my stepson in this post. I usually don't call him my stepson but while searching for advice online it seemed that step-parenting help is what I need. He is 2.5 years old and I have been in the picture since day one. My boyfriend did not find out his ex was pregnant until we were already in a relationship (and lived together). I knew it wouldn't be easy but we were in love and I thought everything could work out ok. So I have been around since day one.

waiting until kids are gone to marry (question)

AlexandraL's picture

For those who are married, in hindsight, have you ever wished that you and your SO remained as partners, in separate homes, separate finances until the kids had left? I've been thinking about this a lot, and to be honest, I was my happiest before I moved to BF's town to live with him. I had a good job with friends, I was happy seeing him, just generally happy. I don't really feel there was any gain when we moved in together...whatever gain there was was cancelled out by all the stress.

I have joint legal custody with my ex husband. We currenlty "unofficially" are living joint physical custody. I have a problem with my ex and his wife making decisions without telling me, and excluding me from important issues. Am I crazy when i say this "step mom" is overstepping her boundaries? I'm a step mother myself, and I would not imagine doing some of these things....

Need some suggestions

So, my sd got her period for the first time. I want to be able to do something nice for her.. so she doesnt dread it and think her life is over as she knows it.. like I did..

What do you all suggest? I read online about books that will answer all her questions, so that she doesnt have to feel uncomfortable asking an adult.. there is also a book that famous women and some not so famous describe their first time they got theirs.. to kind of show it happens to everyone.. and a coworker here suggested a day out for the girls.. like a pedicure or something...

it is NOT my responsibilty to make YOU happy...

I've been reading a lot of others' posts today and I've noticed a theme. Many of the posts, answers, comments, etc that I've read have pretty much said that since we love our husbands, we should try to make them happy. Now, I'm all for doing nice things for the ones we love because it will make them happy (ex: I bring my husband home a Dr. Pepper because I know he really likes them and I also know he won't walk down to the gas station to get one), but what I'm not ok with is this idea that I should be RESPONSIBLE for their happiness.

Question: Mom 95% of the time refuses to let DH talk to SS on the phone when he calls during the week..

mrsparks's picture

He calls and texts her asking to speak to SS or asking if BM will please have SS call him.

She ignores the request 90% of the time and we know she's getting the messages, because she will make comments in nasty texts to DH after the fact.

She then will tell DH to quit harassing her..

We don't go back to court again for custody until April.

morning mayhem....

patwinmom's picture

Ok, so my ss13 and my sd10 decided that this morning was going to be the morning to gang up on my. Usually when they act up in the morning i ignore it cause the fights with them usually arent worth the time. So they both decided they were going to talk to me like crap, bang my dh and i things around, punch the walls and act like 2 year olds. I told them that i am done i do everything for everyone in the house and nobody does anything for me, that life isn't a fairytale filled with shopping and getting to do whatever u want all day everyday and welcome to the real world.
