Well, BM was hauled off to jail today. She somehow got the opportunity to call DH before hand and said, "You're ruining my life... it's all your fault...this is all over nothing, just stupid child support..." I'm glad she thinks that the money she pays to raise her child is nothing, but I digress. Now I am very concerned that she may tell SS about this, as a ploy to turn SS against DH. Especially since (read last blog) she told SS about the warrant. HE'S 13. He doesn't need to know about this.
It's been over a week now and I still haven't heard back from BM about our next visitation date. We are suppose to see SS9 every other weekend and right now 2 weeks feels like too long of a gap without seeing SS as it is. It is also his bday tomorrow, we sent a card in the mail, and we did decline to go to bday party with her fam this weekend. However, we should still get our visitation with SS! BM's facebook says that SS is due to go to BM's Dad's the following weekend.....so what the heck?
It's been rough lately. FH's parenting style is wearing on my nerves.
I tried to sit him down the other day after ss5 kept asking his dad the same thing over and over and repeating "Dad" "Dad" Daddy" and he ignored him.
What I'm wondering is how my fellow stepparents handle this. I am thinking that perhaps i should talk to FH again and explain that when those things occur that I must leave to refrain from saying flying off the handle and because it makes me stressed out.
FOR THURSTON COUNTY....... We are looking for someone who is damn good. Isnt going to back down until things are even and as fair as they can be. We want someone who is diligent with our time, gives straight up answers and doesnt bs us. " Saying oh yeah we can do this and this and this and then at the end...Nilche"
Any suggestions???
Ok I debated on writing this but I am really kind of worried about it even though several other people have told me it's nothing and it will go away.

Atilla was on the rampage again and my crazymeter was cranked too far. After the #2 incident we did give her 3 toys: a coloring book, a plastic horse and a deck of cards (so that she wasn't constantly saying "Daddy daddy daddy..." and on and on and on and on and on and on and on....ok...I'll stop. Anywho, the funniest part of this weekend was this situation:
My SS8 has been sorta "girlish" ever since I've known him. Not sure if this is because he's spent way too much time with his older sister or if it's because of issues with his BM supposedly paying more attention to SD than to him when she had them six years ago. My husband says part of it might be from the way MIL treats him because she believes that BM treated him unfairly and never paid ANY attention to him in the first place. Apparently my husband was teased as a kid for being girly and he blames his mother.
So 9 year old SS threw his folder at the teacher today at 8:30 this morning. School starts at 8:00 am. He told DH that the teacher asked him to put away his books and he didn't want to do so. This is not the first time he has thrown stuff at the teacher. DH told the teacher to send him to the principal's office which she refused to do. DH is at work now so he will not be home to discipline him. I have no idea what to do because what I have been doing(taking away video games, tv, and toys) even spanking is not getting through to him. Any advice?
So, someone in my office just announced that Kate will be on the next Dancing w/the Stars! I loved their show, and was so sad for those kids to have to go through such a public divorce, but in true Kate fashion, she has managed a new gig.
So Dh and I (SM), struggle we just had another baby 9 months ago and I just found out a modification can be made due to the arrival of our 2nd girl. Well dh is paying 556.00 per month and last i knew that included CHILD CARE. Well Dh's mom, quite her job last September to start caring for my SD.I heard we can sue her for overpayment since then. BM never changed that on the papers, so technically isnt it considered fraud?
