not sure how to try.....

Lisab's picture

Because my bf's teenage children dont want to meet me, and think that I am the wicked witch of the North, Im not sure how I should be acting with them. Every Haloween I make candy apples and little treats up for my kids and the neighbourhood kids, and I want to include them on these sorts of things my bf thinks that they will refuse the apples but as petty as it seems I think that he should try so that they know that I am trying. Should I be leaving it alone, or putting myself out there for them, it seems fair that they get treated the same as my kids are....

BM is holding onto anger, and it is getting old

BM is bipolar and has borderline personality. Therefore she has decided that what really went down when my boyfriend broke up with her is that he decided he didn't want to be married anymore and stopped loving her. She has used that to justify her being pissed at the entire world, and is constantly making claims against us that are not true!

B/F coming home in a week.. :-)

Well still having the usual issues with his family, but the nice thing is he will be home in a week and he can deal with them. My son and I had the flu last week so it was a great way to keep the fmil away from the house. I dont get his family at times, they get pissed at me if he calls or messages me while he is away. Not my fault here that he is tired of the bi--ching too from his mom..I have really tried here to get over the fact they think I am using him by asking for money, but like he said if I needed it to ask..

my stomach is in knotts even though everything has already been decided in mediation. I was going to go with dh, but he said that i really didnt need to. since i worked all weekend it was nice to sleep in and not get up at 7 am to get ready for court.

dh just called me to say that he is going in to the court room now and just wanted to call before he went in and tell me he loves me...he also mentioned that dip shit brouht her sister with her. her sister is the complete bitch who along with my mil has been coaching bm through all this crap!

DH says I need to be a little nicer??? What!!!

A LITTLE LONG... SORRY....
SD14 has not been to our house in over 2 years. We see her on occassion if we go to MIL or FIL'S house for a holiday. SD has a life with friends, sports, etc. and things happen where she can't come and visit. Ok that is no big deal. The thing is BM is all about drama and is like a bottom feeder when it comes to being in other people's business. Our's especially.

BM wants more time with the kids

A couple of days ago, DH told me that BM talked to him and told him she wants more time with the kids. He said she actually told him, "Well, think about it. Talk to stepmasochist about it and see what you think." Wow. She thought of me.

We've had custody of skids for over a year now. Right now she gets them EOW - they ride the bus to her house after school Fridays and ride back to school from her house on Monday, and Thursdays overnight.

Geez, Really it has only been a month... and we are back at it again.....

After we left court in Sept, the lawyer gave a really stearn talking to BM and the new court order really gives her consequence for her alienation tatics. We were liking the fact that there was no drama since the court case and really hoping that BM liked the peace as well.

Well, last night DH called BM to let her know, he had received SD's report card and the teacher requested they work with SD on her phonics as she is falling behind on her reading skills. SD is in 1st grade.

The Christmas sh!t has already hit the fan!

About a month ago I purchased 2 $50 gift certificates for a store that sells beauty products for SD20's Christmas present. I was planning to wait to see if SD paid back any of the money that she owes us recently before determining how much of the gift card money to give her for Christmas. So far, she hasn't paid back a single red cent of the money we loaned her (and I'm absolutely expecting her to pay none of it back), so I was planning to give her one of the cards for $50 and saving the other for her birthday in March.
