When DH picked up Ched from BM's on Thanksgiving morning (at 8 am!), the BM mentioned about the day AFTER Thanksgiving being Ched's 7th birthday. She said something about how lucky he was that he was having 2 birthday parties.
Ched said to BM, "Yeah, we're going to have one at my home and at YOUR home" pointing to BM. She said, "You mean your home with daddy and your home with me."
He said, "No, MY home, and YOUR home."
How many of you have the monster in law or future monster in law from hell? I am actually a member of a website called motherinlawfromhell.com or something close to that. My future mother in law is such a nutjob. She is a jealous freak who can't seem to get over the fact that she is not her son's lover. Sometimes I think she would still breastfeed them if she could. I'm not kidding. She is crazy. Anyway, the situation is that DH still lives with parents while I am in college and working, he of course works full time as well. We're never really there.
Hey all! I’m new so forgive me if my knowledge of the abbreviations is lacking. Lol! First off let me explain my situation. I am not married to BF but we share a home (for 4 years) and a one year old daughter. He has 2 daughters from a previous marriage.
My husband(bf)has recently been given custody of 1 of his three children. I (sm) have 1 daughter of my own. The sd (age 15)comes from a home where the bm allowed her to do anything she wanted and now the sd believes she can do the same in our house.
I am at wit ends because there are two set of rules for each girl. Anytime I talk to my husband about his daughter he gets very defensive. I see many things that her father does not and it's not good for her as well as for my own daughter.
So we had SD for thanksgiving this year and it was absolutely wonderful. Before SD came we had a call into our lawyer to tell BM's lawyer we expected all medications that are prescribed to SD to show up (last visit they didn't).
Well all the meds came, she even sent clothing that fit this time. .... (we just let SD wear what we had purchased for her though.) BM didn't call and upset SD this weekend.
well, we survived...it was my first holiday as a family, and emotionally i'm drained. nothing too drastic happened it's just getting used to the situation. it seems like everywhere we went for the holidays his family brought up his ex. it was never threatening or anything, but i don't know, maybe i'm just a baby, but i thought it was extremely distasteful to bring her up upon meeting me for the first time. i've tried so hard to be nice and positive and on the surface that is what people see, but on the inside, i struggle with it daily.
Well bm did it again. Got a call today from a bill collector and fdh lied and said he did not know her phone number or where she is at. Yes my dear friends another warning sign that says dont get married here. How I so want to call them back and give them all the information that they want, but am minding my own business here unless by some off chance they call and ask for her then I will gladly give them her phone number and addy.
I am a step mom to a 7 yr old girl. I have been with her father 3 years now. (actually he was my first love many years ago, we got back together). Her biological mother is not in the picture; she is not interested. I have 2 grown children, a son and a daughter. We are very close, and have always had a wonderful relationship. I feel guilty because I cannot find in myself, a love for this 7 yr old, that I feel I should. She is very sweet, but has some issues because of a rocky first 4 years. She is jealous of my relationship w/ her father, but not as bad now as it was 3 yrs ago.
My son is 14. Anyone who keeps up with me knows that he is a royal PITA. He's failing, backtalking, terrible manners, etc. And it's not for a lack of trying on my part, at least so I've said so far. Now I'm beginning to think it was 100% my fault for not doing this sooner.......I've gotten all in his grill (as he says) and really transformed his life, he's not liking it right now.
I cleaned out his room, his entire room. Packed it all up, including his shoes, cloths, underwear, socks, EVERYTHING down to the pics on the wall. Packed up and locked up in our shed.
I need some help figuring out holidays with my husband and his three adult kids. We haven't been a family long enough to have worked out many traditions and the kids want to do something different each year. I started asking him in August if we could start thinking about plans for the holidays since we are trying to maximize our time with our respective parents and his three step-children (5 different states from Portland to Florida to Massachusetts). He told me that he didn't like to put pressure on his kids to commit to any plans because they're busy with their lives.
