I need a little advice please

I met my husband in my homestate about a year and a half ago. He has two kids aged 11 and 8 that he has full custody of. Not to long after meeting him I moved in with him. Then not too long after that we all moved to his homestate 1800 miles away, and in with his mom. This was supposed to be a temporary situation, next month it'll be a year that we've lived with her. I've been married to my husband for 4 1/2 months now. My husband cut ties with the kids mom about 6 years ago because of some illegal things that she was apparently wrapped up in.

OT - Office Pettiness and the Zinger!!

Email sent around the office:

As a consideration for all. If you must make popcorn in microwave, please make sure that it does not burn. This creates a strong and acrid odor which is not easily eliminated since windows do not open to outside. Thanks for your consideration.

I don't know what an acrid odor is but I know it stinks.

Step Wars: The Atilla Strikes Back

Fading's picture

So I don't work Thursdays, so I was off yesterday. My back was still spasming and causing pain but it WAS getting better (notice the WAS). Then DH brought Atilla over... We told her to try to not climb on me because I had an 'owie'. She said 'Ok. I'm sorry you have an owie Fading." Well her nice calm attitude didn't last long. She was playing in her room and swinging around a My Little Pony plastic house and I told her to stop or she will have it taken away and get time out. Atilla no likey Fading's answer, so what does the little warrior do?

the boy

They say he is not bipolar, he is how do you spell physcotic. That he is not fit for society. So they are going to place him in a residential treatment center permanently. OMG!!!.. I feel so relieved, like a dark cloud has lifted from my house. It even feels different here now. I can actually breathe. The boy has demons, he is evil. And it is not all in my head.

Isn't SD too old for this?

Mantra_Momma's picture

I went downstairs this morning to start laundry and SD7's bedding is in the washer because she wet the bed AGAIN. Am I wrong or isn't 7 years old way too old to be wetting the bed this often. I'd say it happens at least once every 2 weeks. We know there isn't a medical problem because DH took SD7 to the doctor a while ago about it. SD7 was going to the bathroom multiple times a day at school so the teacher was concerned. Turns out SD7 is just fine, it's her attention span and discipline to stay in the classroom that need some work.

I don't know how to deal with this...

So What Makes It All Worth It?

ChaiLatte's picture

For me: Its tossing and turning at 2:00 a.m., and needing to reach over just to touch him, just to know he's there. He may be snoring like a bear, but he's there. It's him touching me on my cheek for no reason at all while he's talking on the phone. It's a smack on the butt when I bend over. It's hearing that I'm beautiful when I'm not wearing any makeup and my hair is atrocious. It's the time he's used his lunch break to pick me up and take me out for sushi when I know it's not convenient for him. I guess for me, what makes it all worth it, is the little things that make me smile.

What a night....

I apologize now, b/c this is going to be long.

I believe that I waited to long to ask everyone for suggestions on how to relieve some, if not all of my stress that I have been under. I really liked some of the suggestions that were given to me and was really going to try some of them.

OT: Text Flirting

StepMadre's picture

Kay, this is very off topic, but I have a question for you all. I won't go into the back story at the moment, but I would love some feedback and opinions (from both the guy and girl perspective!). Here it is: Is it considered inappropriate and flirtatious for a single girl to text message someone else's husband while they, the husband and the wife are all hanging out together? As in private text messages from the single girl to the married man, while hanging out. Not even taking the content of the messages into account, do you think this is appropriate? Inappropriate? Flirting?

Great! Now the other one flips out...

My life is a nightmare, part 2: SS15 has taken off in the truck to drive over to a friend's house. In our state, that's not legal.

SD17 has not run-off, after last nights situation (see other posts). She did shuttle brother to and from his ballgame, and brought his friend home with him. I guess SS and his friend decided not to wait around for the friend's mom to get him from here, and SS took the truck and drove his friend home.
