My SD is 11. My DH dated her mom for 4 months and had broken up with her before finding out she was pregnant. He is not on the childs birth certificate so this gives the mom some kind of power to not share report cards and doctor appointments. We have been to a laywer about trying to get full custody or even just a DNA test to make sure she's his and have some sort of court documents that would give DH some power.DH is not ready to move forward yet. He think this will make BM irrate and that she will talk poorly about us to SD (she already does anyway).
Well..all seems to be going ok so far. I know there's been some talk between the AdultSteps. SD30- she is the ring leader, and the one who gossips the most. She was hoping , even after 14 yrs that FH and EXW (her mom, BM of daughters) would get back together,since BioMom, has gone through detox (again) 4th time.
FH told her 'NO' that would never happen and not to bring it Up again.:-)
I haven't met her (EXW), but FH thinks will get along well!!
I returned home from our vacation, which was a wonderful break i might say- only to walk into a tense, irritable home when all i really wanted was to feel like we ( my 2 girls- 7 & 14 ) had been missed. For us, not because i do absolutely everything around here, including setting all my husbands clothes out for work-
I have been afraid to express on a public forum the details but an incident occurred whereby it is possible? that my adult skids may have deliberately placed my BDs in harms way! This has been weighing on my mnd for some time now and feel that I need outside input on it to help me figure it out! My minor BDs and H were loaned an offroad vehicle from SD and her husband about the time that H was to get his inheritance from his mother's estate that ended up catching on fire with BDs on it!
We are trying to figure out what he cares about. If you take something that he cares about than that would be considered a punishment right? Well we swapped rooms with him and my daughter. She had a smaller room he had the bigger room. I have a feeling that he is going to throw a fit. But if this is all we have to make him see that he has to earn is place here in our house than that is all we have. I hope he cares about something.
At a young age, I met my son's dad, (reffered to as "JB"). JB is was older then me and had a young daughter. JB's daughter was the product of a one-night-stand with a stripper and JB stepped up to do the right thing. My step daughter (reffered to as "PB")was 18 months old and her mother had been in and out the picture since she was a few months old and totally out of the picture for over 6 months when we got serious. JB and I tried very hard to keep some form of a relationship between PB and her bio-mom. But bio-mom continually disappointed and wrongfully treated PB.
I know that your not suppose to hate people especially kids. But I hate my 16 year old step son. How can you discipline a child when they dont listen?? Somebody.... I really do need a answer. This boy steals, and I am not talking about petty stuff. I am talking about cars, peoples medicine, and other peoples stuff. He will lie even when he does not have to. He will lie to try to get you put in jail if he thinks it will benefit him. He is violent to his mother and father when they get in his business or they try to correct him.
I am 5'9 and weigh 165. According the BMI chart I am on the upper end of normal. 24.4. I feel really overweight though. I have tried dieting and it just is not working. I have never had this much trouble losing weight. I think it must be hitting 40! The metabolism must be slowing down. I gained about 12 pounds over the last couple of months and it feels like 30 pounds. LOL. Anyone have any ideas how to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks? I have a big event coming up at the end of January. Also curious to know if YOU feel overweight vs. really are?
Thanks
Christmas and New Year's were great...for DH and myself.
A lot of the BM's we blog about seem to make promises to their kids, but fail to act on them.
That happened for the SDs.
In an unusual move, BM promised the kids that they could spend Christmas with her at her parents' home. She didn't follow through. You know what she did instead?
What I am grateful for in this site is that while ppl may bitch or whine about their situation (like me), the focus afterwards is always to help the person out of the situation instead of focusing on the negative parts or the things we can't change. I also came to realize that ST is not just a place to vent about being a sm or sd, but some ppl also share their real life experiences apart from that, which I love, because it is so diverse and comprehensive. I love ST and just wanted to thank everyone who makes it what it is.
