I have a ss7 and ss8 who I have been living with and full time mothering for over 3 years. Their BM left them for about a year when they were 2 and 3. They live with BF and I full time. She used to see them every other Saturday 8am - Sunday 6pm. That's 4 days and 2 nights in a month. Most times she would get a babsitter or her mother to watch them when it was her time for visits. For the past 6 months due to some 'issues' on her end she has supervised visits on first and third Sundays for 3 hours. So total of 6 hours each month.
My husband thought that I would be able to deal better with his son (10 year old-lives with BM) after we had a baby. I'm a new mom to a precious baby boy. Motherhood is amazing! I can't believe the strong emotions a mother feels for her child. But no I struggle so bad when he comes over every other weekend. I'm so happy when he leaves Sunday and my life can get back to normal. It's like our happy little family (the three of us) and then his son comes and it's completely disrupted until he leaves.
BM is PASing the skids terribly. When the skids were returned 2 weekends ago, the OSS was crying. When he went home BM sent him to his room and told him to stop crying that his Dad was an "idiot." Then DH picks up the skids tonight and immediately (no prompting) they begin with "Mommy and (her) BF are saying mean things about you and Mumzy79, and we don't like it." These poor kids are being told constantly not to like us, we are "idiots" and the list goes on. How are we supposed to fix this? These poor skids are hurting and I have no godly idea how to combat this.
Anybody know laws anywhere on whether a 16YO can/cannot make decisions in regard to medicine/medical help, etc...
Case---BM thinks SD16.5 should be taken to get the Swine Flu shot/Flu shot. Our family has never gotten those shots, and have never had any problems--no other health concerns. DH asked SD if she would like to go get one, she said "no way, I ain't getting no shot." Yet BM thinks DH should force her to?????
Does anyone know of any Blog support groups for the BM, especially the NCP BM who only gets visitation? Just wondering what kind of stuff they post up there, what their biggest issues are.
Thanks
I'm a full time stepmom of 3, I have one 5 yr old son of my own. When the skids do wrong, I'm the one that usually catches it because my husband is never on top of things. It could be something so simple, like last night I opened my ss drawer and it was packed tight with jeans and jean shorts which I make a point to always have hangers with the clips at each end for him to hang these items on a hanger in his closet so that the doesn't end up ruining the dresser drawers. He has been explained this over and over and over and over....so when I see this I blow up out of control.
This is my first time on this website.
My husband and I both brought children into our marriage from previous relationships.
I have a 12yr old daughter and my husband has a 19yr old daughter and a 17yr old son.
When we first moved in together back in 2003 the kids were 5,12 & 10.
My daughter has always lived with me, her father is not in the picture and we were never married.
My husband on the other hand was married and his ex had an affair and he ended the marriage.
His kids lived with their mom and only came to visit on the weekends.
I invited SD17 to go with us to the Christmas Light show. She said she had already gone and it was dumb. She didn't even know which one we were going to! She always complains that we never invite her anywhere with us, and when we do she always says no.
This was the first year I went to this christmas light show and it was freakin' awesome!!! The lights went to the music that we tuned on in the car. She really missed out! Even the SKids were excited!
Last week BM sent the kids home at nine oclock as agreed. But SS11 had not taken a shower or did his homework. His bedtime is 9:00. He had a free birthday pass for one free homework missed assignment. So it was not a big deal... because he still got an a.
I asked BF to remind her that she needs to have his homework done and he needs to have taken a shower.
The battle at home has become intensely heated due to SD and my wifes ways. A little background, wife and I have 2 boys and 2 girls together plus SD. Since day one, I've been open and honest with wife about what I needed in our relationship regarding how to go about raising a family. Above all else I needed honesty. I needed her to know where I stood on children, step or bio, and how it was WE who would decided on how they are raised. I made it clear that this family, which included SD, was what I wanted most in life.
