...hurt by what DH said to me last night. Its dance recital season and by this time we are always busy making costumes for SD/10 and SD/6. This year is a little bit different. Because of our new custody arrangement we dont have the kids on the weekend any longer which means that the recital falls during BM's time with the kids. I would like to continue to make the costumes because I have for the last 4 years and its something that the girls and I have always enjoyed doing together...PLUS, not to toot my own horn BUT...Im pretty good at it.
I've been in his life for the past 3 yrs and he is a super intelligent kid. He is in 3rd grade and reading on an 8th grade level and doing 4-5th grade math. He excels in school and we are very encouraging of him and pushing him to learn more. When we first started to date, I thought he was like a normal kid. He would get excited to play a video game or do something fun. But I started to notice that the ONLY thing he wants to do is play video games, it got so bad, we had to elminate games at our house for a time period.
SS10 has a strange lump on his neck, and BM finally took him to the Dr this week as it's getting painful & is difficult for him to swallow. The Dr has referred him to a consultant at the hospital, and he's got his appointment on Monday morning. Now, with the NHS, they never move this quickly unless it's something potentially serious, I'm trying to convince myself that it's just because he's having trouble eating (and he's a skinny thing as it is) that they're moving fast with this, but the pessimistic side of me is worried about all sorts of other horrible things.
SS11 had his birthday party on Tuesday, it was a sleepover. SS11 had two of his friends show up extra extra early, one was expected to be early, the other just got dropped off. I told them to play football outside while I got things ready. So- everything seemed good. Decorations up, food, cake ready... and suddenly it got pretty quiet. I couldn't hear the boys outside playing in the yard anymore, so I took a peek. I looked out the windows and finally went outside to see what they were up to.
on MsMazi's blog...and I'm not sure it will get noticed.
There's a lot of back and forth on you don't live this life so how can you judge... etc etc.
But PeacenQuiet had the question and said she wasn't sarcastic about it...
HOW DO YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your life? Your actions?
You know, if you just gloss over it and read the question... you might think it's an easy answer. But it really isn't. It's very difficult and a very deep question.
So, ladies... here's my blog courtesy of PeacenQuient...
Many bloggers have made reference to getting along well with a BM. Seems like some are friendly with BM, and even go as far as joining in family events with BM, and enjoy that scenario.
My question is, to those SMs who have been been married before, how do the DHs handle this type of situation? Not regarding the BM, but regarding an ex-H. Does your ex-H get along well with your current H? Do they 'hang out'? Do they talk on the phone?
Of course, I was angry when I wrote it. I never got a reply

Some recent posts got me thinking about letter writing to BMs. I am all for fantasy letters that don't get sent, but I also have mixed feelings about actually sending them. I no longer stoop to giving Psycho the time of day and am totally over trying to communicate productively with her. That being said, I did write and send letters to her at one point and it completely changed our interactions for the better. She was completely out of control and seemed to be gaining steam. Both H and my efforts to get her to stop harassing me didn't work until I gave her the letters.
Middlemom recently posted a blog (a good one by the way! ;)) titled "Relationship Poll", it seems to have gotten a decent amount of attention from the ladies here. So, this leads me to wonder, how do the guys feel about this very topic?
This could be fun and educational for all us ladies, as well as Middlemom's blog could be for the guys! So, I propose a flip flop!
Ok, gents, the questions:
1. What does your SO do to show her love for you?
2. What could she do to make YOU feel loved by her?
Here we go again…got another text message from BM last night.
Preface: SD5 has a homework packet each week which she must work on each night and return to school on Friday. Typically it’s a couple nursery rhymes which she has to recite and then pick out her sight words (she is in Kindergarten). Each night whoever helps her with this writes down the name of the “story”, what time we worked on it and comments regarding her strengths or weaknesses. No signature is required.
