So yesterday SD17 tells DH that she is moving in with grandma when she graduates from high school in June becasue she can't handle our rules, we are horrible etc. DH and I already agreed that SD17 would move out when she turned 18 in December, so I was confused. Now he is pretending we never had that conversation, even though we had it MANY times. I just want my house back, our lives back etc. I am so sick of putting up with SD17's bs and her influencing the younger ones. I even asked DH if that meant we were just supposed to put up with the disrespect, lying etc...
For many of my friends on here, I've become the lost in space Bewitched. But I'm still around, just have my hands full currently.
I think the last time I posted, I had filed for divorce. That is now on hold. Due mostly to financial need, I agreed to counseling with H. And I will admit things have improved dramatically. H has been coming home and working really hard on the place with me here, and the demeaning phone calls have stopped.
I'm wondering...my SD, 9 came home from BM's yesterday with 6-8 boil like sores on her backside. She tells me that he little brother (3) and SS (also 9) have the same sores. Does any one know if it is typical for these sores to spread or what to do about them??? Does this warrant a trip to the doctor? The kids are always coming home from BM's with something (impentigo, sores on their lips, etc.)
I had a response on here from someone who said it's not my "place" to volunteer for room mom at my skids school.
I took offense to that. I am a BM and I volunteered at my biokids school everyday for several years until I started working full time. My youngest is now 16 and parents volunteering just doesn't happen at high school except for dances and sporting events which I am involved in.
I'm really antsy & nervous this morning. I've never had to go to court before. I've been IN the court here because I work for the Sheriff's Dept. & go over there occasionally. Our deputies work there, too, so it's all connected. ANYWAY...in about an hour my husband will meet me here at work & we'll be heading over. Can't wait to get this over with already!!! Wish us luck!

Dh's birthday was Thursday!! He has birthday cake in the frig that is just waiting to be cut! I ask DH Friday morning when are you going to cut your cake? He says "Oh I'm waiting on my sons to come and cut it with me. They will be here after school." Well Friday comes and goes and the boys never show up. Saturday rolls around and he says that the boys will be over to cut the cake with him after football. Well again they are a no show. Sunday afternoon I go in the refrigerator and see "the cake" still sitting there uncut.
I went out tonigt without FH and was asked several times where my "other half" was...I also went out the other night without FH and was asked the same thing! I hate this question because I had a single life before FH and nobody said anything. Why do I have to be attached at the hip to FH??? I know a lot of people in our small town so when they see me out and don't see FH they always ask about him...does anyone think that maybe I don't want to be around him sometimes? I hate it...so I've decided I'm going out more often on my own with family, friends, etc.
The women on ivillage seem to be ruthless and after reading some posts feel to me like they are BM's posting opposing views to everything a SM posts. I'm glad I got to read everything over on ivillage but know in my heart that I have the most support here! Thank you friends!
I was wondering what different kind of responses I would get to this question.
If I ask my dh anything about schedules with skids, ask nicely to talk to one of them about something etc. He freaks out like head turning around voice changing scary freak out.
He then leaves for a little while comes back and says something stupid like oh your nails look great?????
THis is his way of telling me we will not be discussing this again.
