Not sure, sometimes I do miss my X.
I know there is a reason we are not together. I know there are reasons why we are divorced, deep in my heart I do wish things were different.'
I think the main reason why I feel this way is because we started a joint custody thingy where the kids travel between houses every week. Due to the nature of the marriage and his lack of being respoinsible this felt like s sigh of relief, finally he was stepping up to the plate.
But over the past year I have struggled with the emotional disturbances that come with it.
I'm looking for a good book to read.... on How to deal with the angry Ex wife, or somewhere alone the line. How about a children book for my step daughter 11. Please let me know!
Ughhhhhh. Rawwrrrr. Figured I'd start this blog with some animal sounds because I am feeling quite monster-like at the moment. Atilla's birthday is Sunday and her cousins are having their birthday on Saturday (they were born on Feb 5 & 6 2 years apart). So what is DH's FIRST COMMENT? "Why don't we celebrate Atilla's birthday at the same time?" Um...Because your sister is paying for the bowling for HER KIDS birthdays and you just want to take away from them. I can see it now:
Just can't stand my MIL! My DH has finally taken SD off of her pedestal in our home. Now all 4 of our kids are important rather than just SD.. not to MIL though! DH and I have been having problems with MIL for quite some time now. After DH came to the realization that all 4 of our kids should be treated fairly and equally, he grew some balls and called MIL to tell her of this revelation. She has always just come to pick up SD to take her on various adventures and for overnights leaving the other 3 kids home wondering what was wrong with them.
...if your SO has one child, esp. a daughter? It seems to me that that scenario is the hardest one for everyone to navigate, since there are three women (SM, SD, and BM) vying for the SO and for power.
so I talked to BOO ( bf) about lil dude and my special bed time. I first strted by apoligiizing for being a little harsh, but then went into detail about how his approach isn't working. I tell you the whole time I was talking boo was so on the defense. You see I may not HAVE kids of my own but I was a nanny for years and basically raised my lil sis, I am also a huge fan of the nanny. So I kinda broke it to him that he needs to put the foot diwn and stop parenting throug the back of his head while on the computer.
We have SS10 every other weekend, and BM has gone and booked to go away with SS10 on what is meant to be OUR weekend with him! She's already paid the money & told SS10, who is excited about it, so what are we supposed to do? If we stick to our guns & insist on having him that weekend then SS10 is upset because his mum has promised him a mini-holiday & we're not letting him go, but if we say 'OK' then we're letting her get away with walking all over us & manipulating when we have contact!
Everyone is thrilled...all the kids have the room and space they wanted, wife loves spending money and decorating (LOL joke people,,,but not really) and I have a little office in the distant corner of the house all to myself ( can't tell you how GREAT it is to have a room where there aren't any kids toys or things around lol). For those not familiar, my SD 11 was threatning to go live with BD because when we saw this house and decided to buy it I told her that she would NOT get the bedroom with the bathroom in it, that MY Bio daughter would get it.
I'm new to both this forum, and blogging in general, so I'd like to start with Hello! and thank you to all who use this forum and allow others to learn from their situations. In just a few weeks I've learned so much, and am so grateful to all of you who share; I hope that I'll be able to give back appropriately! http://www.steptalk.org/images/smileys/smile.png
Well FH took me today for my first exam, spine, post op..I did very well..Dr's said,they were successfulin fixing the problems in my spine. They cleared out all the dead,,ruptured discs and built up arthritis, and scar tissue from previous surgery 24 years ago.
My pain level has decreased now down to 4 and feeling so much beter. But I still have to wear the brace for 12-16 weeks yet and NOT do anything.(sigh)
