Ok me and dh are kinda thinking about having another baby, but we really wanna think things through.
do any of you know how it will affect my taxes each year i mean right now i have 2 kids i claim so if i had three to claim how much would it go up?
i know it probably sounds like i'm being money hungry or something but anyone who knows how expensive kids are knows this isn't the case! i am just looking at EVERYTHING before we make this decision.
If anyone knows anything about this please let me know
thank you sooo much!
My skids get on my nerves even when they aren't doing anything wrong. SD14 looks just like her ugly-ass mother and I know she can't help it, but it really really bugs me. I don't think it would bother me so bad if her mother were actually a good person. Of course I would never tell my SD or DH my feelings about this; there's no sense in hurting their feelings.
But it's also their mannerisms that drive me nuts.
ok so dh finaly talked to bm about our only being able to talk to skids for 3-10 min each time split between them, she said "i only have a certain amount of minutes that's not my problem unless ur gonna pay my bill" so dh made the suggestion of getting a land line bm shot that right down so he said "add me in as one of your friends n family so the phone calls wont use up your minutes".. so she called the next day and said she added us on her thing but only the land line and if we call from our cell phone she wont answer she doesnt care.
Need to vent! I am in the process of disengaging from Step kids as a result of previous good advice from others on this forum and I have to say I feel so much peace in doing so. It is; however, still difficult to watch these adult stepmonsters continue to manipulate their father and others.
Hello,
I'm new to the forum and just looking for a place to be able to vent and get some support. I've been dating a man for a year now. He moved into my house in July. He has a daughter 6 and son 7 from a previous marriage. I'm not sure I know what I'm getting myself into. Sometimes I feel like I should just run away.
We drove almost 30 minutes to meet BM, who just walked right across the street from her boyfriend's place. (I'm sure BM thinks she's sooo clever for "tricking" us into this arrangement. She spends most of her time at her boyfriend's place, which is sort of the half way mark between where she now lives & where my husband works. So on weekends, we have to drive an extra 15 minutes because it's from our house, not where he works & she doesn't have to drive at all because she's already there. My husband is so dumb for agreeing to this, but he didn't want to fight over it.
Saturday morning we had my husband's parents over for brunch. After we ate, SD9 wanted to open her presents (her birthday was earlier this month). So SD9 opened them with her back towards me & did not show me any of the gifts. And she complained because she didn't get much. (We gave her her presents back in July, so this was just stuff from the grandparents & my husband's sister.) As soon as the presents were opened, she went down to her bedroom. At one point, I heard my FIL asking SD9 some basic questions. She completely ignored him.
Ok, I feel very stupid in asking how to deal with this, but I am really not sure with how things are in my relationship with my SD11. Here goes... Over the last couple of weeks, I feel a competition brewing between the two of us on who sits on the couch next to FH. I know it sounds stupid, but FH always sits on one side of the couch. Either SD11 or I sit on the other side. Last week, I sat there and she sat on the floor next to the couch on the side of her father where I could not see her. The minute I got up to do something, she jumped quickly to the couch.
I'll stick to talking about this recent situation making me "loose it" because telling my whole stroy would take much more time than I actually have to spare for the day...o.k. Global portrait: Boyfriend and I have been together 4 years now. We are very stable, never change the routine with kids, respect BM's time with the kids etc...I have to tell you a bit about BM so that you can understand were we are coming from.
People "think" that SS9 has A.D.H.D., when he really just has B.R.A.T. SD13 is an entitled, sassy little shit. Want to throw fits, cry like babies, ruin my things, spend my money? The parties over you little shits, I don't care what you think of me, go ahead and hate me, believe me the feeling is mutual. And for DH, you would be best served to remember "happy wife, happy life" of that you can be sure.
