SS10 wants a Dad-only day

Storm76's picture

We're due to have SS10 next weekend, and when my OH spoke to him on the phone last night he firstly said that he'd been invited to stay at a friends on Friday night so did we mind if he didn't come to us until Saturday, and then that he wanted to have a dad-only day (i.e. me not included in whatever activities they do)

Do any of you watch Supernanny?

I'm watching it right now. I have a cold and I love the nanny. She doesn't take cr*p from anyone! I think she could really help a lot of our families out. I hope that someday, she goes to the home of a dad and SM. The dad and SM could have full custody, joint legal and/or physical custody, or even EOW visitation. I really feel that Jo could help so many of us out. If you've never seen Supernanny, I highly recommend it. Jo is awesome and has helped so many people out.

Hello Everyone,
Lets first start by saying I post and I post and I give you all the heartfelt truth because your advice wasn't going to help if I didn't start off with honesty and with ONE rebuttal I am a stalker and an a**hole?? Sleeping, sleeping is why I got quiet, sleeping. I work nights remember?
Lets first start in early July, I believe that is when I first started posting here to get advice from you women as to how I could fix my current situation. Again, I never had any reason to skew a side because:

OK need some advice on how to handle this.....

OK, most of you know the situation with my SD15. Well, we have been having some problems with her since she came to live with us in August. We have been able to work out solutions to most of them but one. She is constantly making out with guys that she likes, but has just met. My DH has talked to her about this, her BM has talked to her about this, and her therapist has also talked to her about this too. Well, we went to a friends house over the weekend and SD15 & BS11 decided that they wanted to spend the night with our friends kids. So, we said ok.

AM I WRONG??????? Would this be perceived as being nasty or rude.....?

BM continually sends to small clothing with SD when she comes on her visits. We purchased a few things last year when this happened but SD has kinda outgrown them. But this weekend and a few others.... Her clothing was so dang tight (jeans) and shirt so short... It was sickening! SD wears a 7/8 and the clothing that came this weekend was a 6. It really pissed me off. They have never been that small any other time - other then once.

Discipline and WEEKEND Parenting

I am now beginning to realize just how tough it is to instill some kind of discipline in the kids when the ONLY time you see them is on the weekends. There is simply not enough time to follow-through immediately after. BM does not share the same values and so it's no use trying to get her help in shaping behavior at her house. And the un-predictability of plans for the following weekend make it almost impossible for consequences to "roll-over".

Broken Doors and All

I went to work the other day with the knowledge that SS10 was going to his friends house at around 12. BM was going to pick up SD14, and hang out. I told SS10 that he needed to go with BM just in case something happens and his friend could not come get him. I worked all day. When I got home I noticed the door would not close right. Sad
I talked to BF and he said that BM and SD17 hit SD14 and so SD14 ran inside the house and broke the doorjam. UGH.
