Once again, it's up to me

When SD7 got home last night from being with her BM all weekend, DH said he could just feel the tension. Apparently since I yelled at SD on Wednesday for not listening to me and ignoring me, she was scared to even be in the same room as me. I have no idea why. It wasn't the first time I'd disciplined her. When DH gets mad at her, she's over it in 2 seconds.

It's really all about the Laundry

This I think is one area that just sets me off! I have a lot of laundry in my household... not to mention the drycleaning... I have a teenager, an 8 year old ss, and a baby...plus my DH who is a carpenter and has tons of laundry... Ok... so why is it the 8 yr old has more laundry than everyone put together?!?!.. well... it's because he's constantly peeing his bed, and himself...whatev...

I want to do an interactive "ON LINE" test

Have you ever tried to give exactly what your spouse wants, even though it seems so insignificant to you?
When you hear spouses talking about what they want in their marriages. Most of the time it sounds the same, but it is so different for men than it is women.
I am curious, if YOU lack one of these 5 basic needs in your relationship. Try the opposing number for your spouse and see if things start to change for you in the area you desire so much.

Spouses 5 most basic needs in a marriage (according to a book I read)

Wishing DH would JUMP for me or at least hear me out!

I am so sick of looking forward to 6pm on Sundays so me an my boys can have some of my husbands undivided attention and then it doesn't come around. 6 pm on sundays is supposed to be my favroite time. SKIDS go home..Sure 6 pm got here. DH was supposed to take SS home at 6pm but BM was being a c-word about SS being sick that he should stay at our house an extra day to rest at our house. WTF since when does she care about her sick child getting rest. She just suggested that so we would say no and then cause a big ordeal about SS being unwanted.

she's trying to take away his visitation...oh HELL no

my bf was served with papers yesterday from bm's lawyer, a motion for suspension or termination of visitation. she claims she knows "through conversations with her daughter" that not only is my bf using marijuana both recreationally and while visiting his daughter, but also that he takes sd to parties where alcohol is being consumed and there is little to no adult supervision, and that he has left her in a hotel room with strangers. she says that she fears for the safety of her daughter if the father's visitations aren't terminated or supervised by her or someone of her choice.

The things kids say...

Before we start these are 2 conversations we had with the kids this weekend. I noticed a HUGE change in their behavior this weekend. They were backtalking something horrible, SD7 hit FMIL and was put into time out for 45 minutes because she would NOT stop backtalking while in timeout - she kicked a hole through the wall! SD5 was whining the whole weekend and kept crying over everything! It was crazy! They have been amazing the last couple of months. Since their Grandmother came home last month we've noticed things going downhill.

I have decided to "check out" for the rest of the day today. BM has the skids and calls FH this morning and has ruined the day.

I don't need to go into any details. I just have to say that even when we don't have the skids, BM will call and "tattle" on them to FH which ruins his day. I've told him before to not let her do that. She needs to handle her own children. They NEVER misbehave for us the way they do for her. So, anyway, FH gets SD10 on the phone so that he can yell at her. Then when he hangs up and I start to give him my two cents on the subject AGAIN - he tells me to not say anything - that this problem is between the BM and him and HIS kids. Needless to say - I am pissed.
