Okay, so SD11 has been back from christmas break for 5 days and everything has been great with her and us. I was a little worried that she might come back with some negativity towards us since we are in the middle of her mother asking for the courts to change custody. The BM tends to overly involve SD in adult issues like court and actually thinks that SD will fully grasp what is happening. So I was well prepared for the comments of wanting to live with her mom, and her hating living with us..We have heard all this before after visits with BM.
Constant indulging combined with an absence of rules does not end well. This woman probably never thought her daughter would go this far. Not that she deserved to be set on fire, but why would you indulge a child to the point of letting your 11 yo have a 15 yo bf that sleeps over??? They were fighting over cigarettes!

I got divorced last year after having seperated from husband 4 years previously.He had an affair with one of my kids friend s mother and i m unsure whether this was his only affair or if there had been more.we have shared care of our 5 children aged 21 down to 11.I have been with my partner for 4 years and have lived together for 2- he is divorced and has 3 children one of which is severely disabled and he has shared care too.we both work fulltime and both of us are nurses.We both find life tricky with each others children at times and our exes.I find it particularly difficult with his disa
We talked last night for the first time but really just ended up arguing. He's not moving back as I've not agreed to that without counselling. I also told him he needs to sell his house as I feel insecure he has a bolt hole to run back to. He's really hurt me, I am thinking every time his kids start a conflict he will go running back to them over and over. At least he tells me he understands how I feel and that I was right about what I have been saying about his two being too needy and causing trouble between us, he sees them differently now he's spent almost two weeks living with them.
Hi I've decided to turn my comments in a blog. I'm new to this but from reading what others have written don't feel so alone. By writing a blog I feel I will have a place to let out my feelings.
I finally put my foot down, and told H that we need to separate. For a while.
I'm selling the house, and will be moving out to live with my dad.
This is probably the hardest thing I've done.
When I broke the news to H, he cried... he cried so hard. He told me that he had no purpose without me... he told me that without me, he was nothing. It hurt me to hear him say that... I almost changed my mind... I almost told myself that maybe I should give it another shot... and that things will change. That he will change.
So, the UK is pretty much covered in snow at the moment, and as we so rarely get much more than a sprinkling everything is grinding to a halt as we can't cope. I walked to work yesterday to find out they were closing the office, and am at home again today.
Skids are 17, 15, and 14. DH doesn't believe in chore charts, and doesn't want me to assign the kids chores because it creates "bad feelings" in the house...
How the hell do you keep your house clean?
I have a 90 minute round trip commute each day. I teach all day, I drive home, I get home to a messy house and kitchen, and I'm supposed to try to cook? The skids get off the bus an hour and half before I get home. They should do the work- they made the messes afterall.
Suggestions?
Ok, so I don't normally post..not too good at putting my thoughts onto "paper". But, I thought I'd try.
I get frustraded with my skids because I feel they don't acknowledge or appreciate anything I've done for them, and yet, when SD thanked me yesterday, I had difficulty believing her sincerity and simply saying "you're welcome"!
