Despite my previous blog post that seemed to piss a bunch of people off, I am still here. Eh, whaddya gonna do? I've learned to live with pissed off people... seems to be a natural occurring phenomena in my own personal orbit. Don't know why, I'm such sweet and nice guy.
SD is in Child Psychology this year. As part of the class, the teacher always has the students write their mothers a letter to tell them how they feel about them. She does this as they are learning about pregnancy and fetus development, etc.
This teacher knows a little about SD's situation, so she told her she could write to her dad, to me, to her mom.... So SD chose to write to all 3!
I don't know what her dad's letter says. I will find out Monday when he gets back into town!
I was just talking to DH on the phone (he's @ work) b/c DH felt the need to call and ask me what I thought about the following question.
Question...
Do you think we should tell BS11 before or after Christmas that there is no Santa Claus?
Me,"I'm not sure."
DH,"well I think it is time for him to know that there isn't a Santa. Before the kids at school start making fun of him for still believing there is."
Me,"IDK, my parents never told me there wasn't. I figured it out for myself, but I was younger than BS11 when I did."
OK my friends, it's after 8am here, my daughters have left for school(private christian school that my SS16 got kicked out of) and im heading to work. SS16 is still in his room, in bed, apparently not going to school.. AGAIN.. keep in mind he is flunking out! He just grunts at me when I ask him is he is planning on going. Im not sure what pisses me off more, the fact he can be so disrespectfull, or continue to skip with absolutely no consequences from his dad or school. And of course the ungratefull terd will be able to go hang with his buddies...
I consider myself an intelligent woman. I have learned over the years to take most things I hear with a grain of salt. However, there is one thing I am a complete sucker for - infomercial products. Most things I can look at and dismiss, but there are a few that I just have to have!!!! I'm not talking about the Billy Maze and Shamwow guy commercials - most of that stuff is just junk.
Here's the situation.....BS11 is grounded from the pc through the week, but gets 1/2 hour on Saturdays and Sundays until he brings his grades back up. He was totally grounded from the pc, but has been slowly bringing his grades up, so we have been slowly giving him back some privileges. SD15 is also grounded from the pc until Dec.31st and can not get her drivers permit until Feb. 17th (was able to get it Dec. 17th) because she broke 2 house rules, 1 promise, and lost our trust in her atm.
Wow! When reading these posts, I feel like I'm reading my own biography! I want to know how much my children should endure from my husband's exwife/ex mother-in-law/children before I should consider the current circumstances unhealthy enough to get a divorce? Ok well here it goes, heres our story:
I have an email waiting in my drafts to SS10's teacher about an Internet grading system where parents can log on and check on their kid's grades... FH and I don't know the website address nor a sign-on or password right now because it wasn't sent to us from BM. So, I want to gain some control and keep a track on SS's progress, since he has a learning disinility, plus I want to see how he did on his homework that I did with him and tests that I helped him study for. My question is though, should I send the email even though I am technically not his "step-mom" yet?
I am looking for some advice on how to tackle the prickly situation I have going on in my home.
My step daugtter who lives in another part of the county has done some pretty hurtful things to her dad and our home since she moved out of our house this past summer. The biggest and most recent being cutting off contact with her dad, myself and her sisters (our daugthers) and taking her moms maiden name. My husband has NO relationship with his ex and neither do I. It has gotten to the point where my husband is hurt and hasn't been trying to contact his daughter.
Apparently there was some type of emergency at BM's house tonight at 5pm and she called DH to see if he could come and get SS7 and keep him until Sunday evening.
She didn't go into ANY detail of what's going on. She did tell DH to not bother taking their son to school on Thursday or Friday. WTF? Is he SICK? (DH didn't mention he was.)
