I was thinking of just letting her know about what the teachers are saying about his anger and low selfesteem which usually stems from a feeling of abandonment by BM and low feelings of selfworth as is often the case ecspecially with teen boys as "what is so wrong with me that even my own mother doesn't want me". Also a big reason he feels he needs to be hateful to both DH and I are to see if we will leave him too.
Usually I wouldnt say much when my SD6 is sick on the weekends she comes over but this situation is extremely annoying. Friday she is crying and crying for her BM. So I am trying to calm her down she is hysterical cause her BM said she couldnt stay home that weekend even though she had been running a fever since thursday morning because she had a superbowl party and she was going to get everyone sick. OMG what a wonderful mother. So saturday after an hour of crying, we made the BM a valentines day card because that is what she wanted to do.
Ok..Since i last was here a lot has happened. Me and now 16 daughter of BF are now talking and things seem to be fine. During a recent Psych Appt with BD she told counselor that she wishes to live with us when we buy a house. I agreed to this as long as she is not arguing with BM and it is because she wants to be with us and not as to hurt her BM. Since then BM and his 16yo have fought a few times and she has been kicked out of house 2 times now. They have reconciled after a few days and things seem fine currently.
I've had a couple PMs asking me to post our house rules, so here they are. They are occasionally updated and changed if we have a continual problem or a new issue comes up. We have a once a month family meeting with the skids where we discuss any problems or questions they have and to let them know about any possible changes or updates and also to remind them of our house rules (versus the total chaos at BMs).
"------ Family Rules"
I am thinking about calling BM and letting her know (politely) that it may be a good idea if SS12 lives with her for a while, as it may be good for him. What do you think I know this is kinda DH's territory but he wouldn't do it, he is to afraid of losing his son to BM, and I tell you he is already lost! she has been coaching and pressuring SS12 for the last 5 years and he has made life miserable for me and DH and DH will admitt this is the truth!
SS12 went to his BM's house this weekend and it is not his weekend to go, perhaps he is getting the hint that he is not wanted in a house where he treats everyone like shit!!! SS14 is here and it hasn't been that bad of a weekend but I think last night he was high and I think he was smoking this morning, but that's not my problem it's his mothers. But otherwise he has been well behaved! wierd! perhaps now SS12 will move to his BM's house when realizes I'm not gonna be nice to someone who treats me like dogshit!
I'm rooting for the Colts. Our entire family is! We're bringing out the pizza, chicken wings, and soda today, folks! On a side note, though, the Manning family ought to be happy either way, because Peyton's dad was a quarterback for the New Orleans Saints and the family is from Louisiana.
We had a great time this weekend so far, even though I am laid up with my back since, I just had surgery 3 weeks ago
FH husband asked me during the week, If I would mind if he had friends and kids, over for the weekend. I told him, I didn't mind. but he would be the host, since I'm laidup.
To begin to mend hurt feelings, I asked DH to watch the Hallmark movie with me last night. The card commercials made us cry, as did the movie, but we had a shared laugh. (Oh yeah, SD17 stayed and watched the movie with us too, which was nice.) In the movie, the main character and his father aren't close because the dad always seemed embarassed by his kid's disability. Now a grown man, the main character has brought his new girlfriend over to meet dad and stepmom.
My ss9 just got suspended from the bus for 3 days because he cant seem to keep his hands to himself and wants to bad mouth the bus driver. Comes home get's punished I go through his school agenda and come to find out that on monday he stole something from another kid in school. So i got pissed cause bf never told me a thing about what was going on I though he was punished on monday for stealing money from my son's wallet. I told bf that is not fare that he keeps me from what's going on with ss because it concerns this entire house hold but he never listens to me.
