When BM's Attack!

Catlover's picture

The night before skids were scheduled to come home a major snow storm hits. BM informs DH that SHE has to work that day (skids are off of school) and that DH needs to pick them up at 6:30am from her sitter's house because SHE has to get to work at 4am. (keep in mind it has always been that the parent with the kids is responsible for dropping them off to the other parent's home).

Need Advice!!!!

I'm new to all of this but hopefully I can get some advice. I have been a stepmom now for close to four years and my stepson hates me more than anything in the world. He has told him mom that I hardly feed him and when I do it's my children's leftovers. I have tried everything to try to connect with this kid and I dont know what to do anymore. There was a point where his behavior was affecting my marriage. He would tell his dad (my husband) lies so that we would agrue and he would smile and luv it. As time goes by and he gets older its just getting worse.

Husband mad!!!

My DH came home tonight so mad at my Skids new SD. He went to drop them off after they were here for Hannukah tonight. We get them for an hour at sundown during Hannukah. Well he had taken Friday this week off since the kids have no school to take everyone to the new Avatar movie. We have to drive an hour away to see it in 3D. He is so excited to go. Me not so much, but if it makes everyone happy great. Well he told them in the car on the way home that he was taking them.

Grown kids with their hands out and enabling father!

I found out recently that HD is giving $100 a month to SD for "gas money" to get back & forth to Nursing school, which we have only HER word that she is going to school. Then found out yesterday that HD is helping her to "catch up" on her car payments. All of this is coming out of his allowance that he gets each pay period. We have to do it this way because he is not very good with paying the bills. So I do it. I just told him that if he can live on that plus pay SD's car note "just this once" than more power to him.

The Dog

I'm not sure if this is OT (and/or silly), but I need to vent anyway.

About 1 1/2 years ago, I interviewed and was offered a job that I really thought was promising. It was a few miles from home, and just seemed like a great place to work, which it is. However, the owner brings his dog to work just about every day. I'm allergic. I decided to suck it up and sniffle, sneeze, and take antihistamines until a better job came along, or I couldn't take it anymore. Lo and behold, I can now tolerate the dog just fine. She is very very sweet, and a fun dog to be around.

What would you have said?

BS/SS ( both under 6) and me and hubby are riding in the car, somehow the subject of speeding comes up.

SS: Speed and we can get home fast
BS: We can't speed because you'll go to jail!
SS: My mommy speeds all the time and she doesn't go to jail.
BS Well you can't speed because you'll run in to things.
SS My Mommy speeds and she doesn't run in to things. My Mommy curses when she drives too because she wants to get home and people aren't driving fast enough.

Today was a great day with bio son he had show and tell at school and we took our dog in to that. It was so cute seeing the other children smile and ask tons of questions about the dog and you could tell that bio son was so happy. This weekend is going to be so nice as dh and I get to go out tommorrow night for a real date. Last night dh brought me roses and of course my natural reaction was what do you want. LOL Smile SS has his weekend with his dbm and I miss him allready here.
