dh called to talk to ss this morning and had to remind bm that they have specific times they are allowed to call. in the evening its 7pm to 730pm. if the parent not with ss does not call at this time they lose their chance to talk to ss, unless already previously arranged because parent with ss would not be able to answer during mandated time. welllllllll, big freaking surprise bm has called EVERY day out side of that time! even when she has ss, she has ss call dh before 7pm. So after several days of dip shit just not being able to get it, dh reminds her....lets see how this goes.
DH and I have a joint bank account, and for some reason when I was over there today I felt the need to open my own account. DH and I were talking last night about how I'm so unhappy all the time when SD7 is home, so I thought he'd bring up changing her visitation again to one week with us and one week with BM. He had mentioned this once before but didn't talk to BM about it. I thought after me saying I'm never happy anymore DH might take action. I don't know, I guess I'm just preparing myself in case a separation is in our future.
Bm did not get ss11 anything for his birthday. she did not even see him, she did call him and talk to him for about two minutes. And it has been about a week since his birthday and she has still not got him ANYTHING. She actually borrowed some of his birthday money for gas. UGH.
Just heard from OH that SS10 has an infected lymph gland, but it's obviously pretty serious as they've admitted him to hospital for 48 hours so they can give him IV antibiotics.
I'm currently all of a dither about what to do about visiting him - his mum is staying overnight with him, and OH is stopping by their house to get clothes for both of them to take up tonight, which he's doing straight from work.
Without going overboard.
I have seen quite a few posts on here where women have described their assets.
For me, that is something extremely difficult to do. I can say I might have a nice... whatever... but even then, I feel funny. I was taught that we can appreciate our own looks but are not supposed to be boastful about them.
I have written about SD before.. that I think she has some narcissistic tendencies - some of them from her mom.
Ok this Friday we are going to see my family and it is the first time fdh and fss is going to meet them. I have to say rather feeling anxious here about this meeting. I was going to take a week to stay with my family and let fdh and fss return home, but fdh has said it would be hard to have the holidays without me and us being newlyweds. Not sure when the wedding is going to take place, hey maybe he plans on doing it when we are down there just do not know as of now. I am sure my family will love both of them and will have a ton of questions for them both.
Hey StepTalk family. It's been a while since I've posted but things are so tense in my house between my DH and SK's and I that you can cut it with a knife. I still barely speak to my SK's and my DH. My attitude is bad and I hate going home because I know that they'll be there. I'm at a cross roadsright now. I truly honestly don't know if I want to stay with DH. I'm just coming to the realization that I don't know if I want to be raise someone elses children. Especially because my DH and I have two different ways of parenting. Our home is divided and it always has been.
It is only Tuesday and I already am starting to dread next Sunday night, MY SS's are going to their BM's this weekend, and the last 2 weeks have been good because she was too busy to see the boys on her last weekend. When they come home from Bm's house they are the most dissrespectful,selfish, and mean spirited boys ever!! I already dread the attitudes that come with a weekend with BM, it makes me wish either they never got to see her or they just lived with her for awhile, let her deal with the attitudes she creates and then maybe she won't try to undermine everything DH and I try to do.
Well, not until tomorrow, really... but I got the BEST gift I could EVER ask for!
Parents in law are taking me out this weekend to eat, and guess what?! 
Blabb is coming!
Ok... I am an independent contractor / self employed individual. I sometimes get work W2 and sometimes I am 1099. Each job is different.
When I was starting out and I was so young and naive, I used to think that I wouldn't turn into one of "those" women, that would complain about a double standard... etc etc.
Boy - was I DUMB!!
At each of my jobs, I have to renegotiate my salary. Sometimes, I am 2nd in command. Sometimes I am first.
