I'm sorry, but I've got to bitch about this somewhere and this site is my outlet for bitching, so here I go. We got a friggin' DUSTING of snow!!!! Not even 1/2 an inch. People that live in my town are complete idiots when it comes to driving in any kind of weather. Take it slow, take it easy. The roads were indeed slick. It took me 1-1/2 hours to get to work this morning, but I'm here!!! Three girls called in this morning saying they could not make it to work. Okay. If you can't make it in now, how about trying again in another hour or so.
OH really wound me up at the weekend & it all came pouring out of me, and now things are strained between the two of us and I don't know what can make it better.
If my DH passed away to I stil have the right to visitation with his kids?
My husbands mother has professional mother/daughter portraits of herself and my husbands ex hanging in her living room. We told his mother we were coming down and she offered us to stay at her house. When we got there i immediately notice the pictures hanging and there was even a bunch of photos on the coffee table of the ex. I already know that she doesnt like me because of the fact that my husband and this ex have a 1 year old son together, and she feels that i am the reason they are not together which is BS.
Even the teachers do not want SS14 to come back, this came up while we were dealing with SS12! SS12 is not stupid but he is very lazy and is now failing, They wanted to put him in special ED, no way!! he can pull up his boots and do his work or fail, he is not getting special treatment because he is lazy! So now the teachers are working with my program.. he is getting extra homework every night, and a once a week project and has to stay afer school one night a week for extra work! I wonder how long until he throws another screaming fit about us not being fair?!!!
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, DH and I have spent a whopping $13,000 of legal fees to get (DRUMROLL PLEASE) an every other day placement schedule built around BM's work schedule! Oh yes, and we also got a holiday rotation schedule that BM handpicked her holidays for the next nine years. Hmmm what else? We also were the lucky recipients of the Guardian Ad Litem informing DH and I that we will be expected to modify the skids schedule in the future should BM's job change (she is "entitled" to have the skids only on her days off).
Hello all! I really should get on here more. Maybe it would make me feel better about a lot of things. It is just really hard being a single parent to someone else's kid especially when they force her down your throat as your own. I am finding my self resent the fact that SD4 is even ther and making me reconsider even getting married in 6 months. This is not what I signed up for. I never thought it it wold become my total responsibility to raise this child. FH works until about 8 or 9 at night. By then she is going to bed which a whole other problem in it self.
SS13 has been grounded for failing on his report card. For Christmas we got him a new phone and he got to keep it until report cards came out. The stipulations were....passing grades, good behavior, do your chores. Pretty fair I think. He hasn't made any effort on the grades. Doesn't do his homework, low test scores etc. SS lives with us full time. Anyway, BM apparently thinks this is wrong and is going to buy him a phone this weekend since we took his away. How can you try to coparent with someone who disregards everything you try to do as a parent to instill responsibility?
I'm just physically and mentally exhausted at the moment, so I'm sure that's why I'm snapping so easily. But have you ever had one of those weeks where a whole bunch of little things just add up to a big pile of crap that's dropped on your head? That's how I feel.
So, last visitation weekend we get paperwork from SD's mom - stating she is in a Fashion Show on 20 - 21 March and needs to raise a scholarship of $3000.00 to participate by Feb 1. AND find out SD will be having dance competitions in March (27 - 28) and April 30 and has to raise monies for this as well.
We only find out because the majority of this falls on DH's weekends and of court BM does not want to drive to the court ordered location. So DH switches weekends with her - so he can have his full weekend visits and we will still drive down to the events to support SD.
