Found out today,when we were trying to make flight arrangements for SD19 back to college after holidays...that she was booted out of her college scholarship. Of course,DH has no clue as to why she lost her scholarship. DH was beside himself & couldnt understand at all. I just LOL..she was living on an alterego that had exploded beyond belief. Now she has to live back at BM house & deal with the realities of life with BM. BM may not be able to get married to her BF now that skids are back in the house...OH WELL! DH said that he may have to pay for college ...over my dead body.
I am very new to blogging and this blog is great.
Ok, so last night were (dh & I) are wrapping the kids presents my BD7 is asleep, BD14 is spending the night with a friend, and we tell SS16 to hang in room till' wer'e done. You can imagine how well that goes, First trip out of his room , DH doesn't see, the next one he does- he tells him- Hey were wrapping here, yr so possed to stay in yr room! He pops off with "what, is it a crime to go to the bathroom?" I say, well, it is yr second time since we started a few min ago??
My wife works on Saturdays and so I'm home with my step-son... cleaning the yard, the kitchen, the bedroom... I am. He's of course locked in his room only to venture out to heat up some wings then to hurriedly make his way back to his room to do what 12, almost 13 year old boys do in their room.
Has anyone seen Bonneville? I just saw it last night with my DH, on the recommendation of my MIL, of all things! The movie came out last year, and stars Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Joan Allen. Here's a synopsis:
My children and I haven't talked to/seen my husbands parents for over a year now but they recently asked my husband what my kids want for Christmas. I haven't spoke to them because they get in the middle of how we handle BM and my husband's kids. BM/skids falsely accuse my children and I of everything and anything--physical and sexual abuse for example (which is unfounded, you can read my blog "When is enough...enough?! to get more of a picture of our life).
So she packed up and left with nothing to say to DH while I was at work. DH tried to act ok but I knew better. He asked if we could go to his favorite diner up the street for dinner and then we went for a late night shopping trip at Walmart. Now we live in small town and there is only one Walmart shared by three small towns in the area. This always cheers him up because he sees the weirdos that come out and it sorta makes you feel classier..LOL! We actually saw a guy picking his teeth with an ornament hook that was still attached to the ornament...OMG!!!!
For all of you who deal with the adult SD issue (or maybe even a younger SD), do you ever feel like you are part of a "secret harem"? Like there is another world out there that is all your H's but you are not part of it?
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.
