Yesterday, before my SD8 and SD9 were going to be picked up by BM, we were going through their book bags and the girls had forms for Room Moms. They had both asked me to be a room mom at the beginning of school and I told them I would. I was Room Mom for my kids when they were in grade school, I was also PTA treasurer, and I volunteered at the school library. I enjoy that kind of thing. I also want to meet some of the other parents and I want to know their teacher and I want their teachers to know me.
I thank you all for your concern about my SS7. He's out of the hospital and doing much better.
Hello all, if you rememeber about a month or so ago BM was thinking about letting SD3 live with us Mon-Fri and she would see her on the weekends and I was worried about doing EVERYTHING for the kid while FH works. WELL...it happened. We have her, this is 3 weeks now and it is actually working out so far. He gets her ready in the morning and takes her to daycare and then I pick her up and he gets off early most days now so I am still able to get stuff done and have some "me" time. She goes to her BM on Friday night and comes back on Sunday night which also leaves the weekend.
SD and I just dropped DH off at the airport for the next leg of his business trip. 6 weeks this time. Well, at least I didn't cry like the last time, or feel as lost and alone. I'm surprised that I am feeling this optimistic since we just had a horrible weekend due to BM bull...
SD has been told that she has to give counseling sessions with her mom some time because in the last visit counselor thought she saw SOMETHING in BM "click". Not sure.. but counselor saw a glimmer of understanding in BM. So SD goes to BM's and BM has a movie picked out for them to watch!!
I would love to have some of your recipes for meatloaf. This will be my first time making meatloaf for my FH and I want it to be FANTASTIC! He usually does the cooking because he gets home earlier than me, but I plan to take off work early tomorrow and surprise him.
My old meatloaf recipe consists of: ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, onion soup mix, ketchup, and to be honest, I can't remember what else.........it's been that long since I made it.
Any recipe would be so welcome!!!!!!
And I will pick one of the recipes and give you reviews on Wednesday morning.
Well, I've really only reprimanded her before. But this weekend, the little snot decided to test my limits.
FH and I are getting married soon, like very soon. We're trying to get everything ready for the wedding and my mom drove from 4 hours away to help me this weekend. The reception site needs some major cleaning as it's a space that's not used that often and has been close for a while in a place with some pretty harsh elements.
For some reason I can't get MEATLOAF out of my head.
Hmmmmmmmmm....I think I will make one for dinner tomorrow night.
(I would insert a cute adorable smiley here if I knew how....)
Thanks and bye.
My husband and I have been together for 10 years. We have two children together. His ex blamed me for their split. She poisoned their two children against me. It took about 4 years for the son to come around and 7 for the daughter. I shop for their birthdays and Christmas gifts every year. My husband signs the cards "love dad" no mention at all of me and our two children plus my daughter from a previous marriage.
These kids are grown now, in their 20's, live on their own. Their mother is remarried.
i did some reading over on ivillage because i honestly wanted to see how these women think....
****for those bm's coming here to cause drama, notice i said "so many" not all.
anyways, i read that they feel we have no rights as step parents, its okay for them to ask our dh's to do husband type things for them....ugh so may disgusting things that i cant even imagine some one could really think is right. Im shocked.
I've been lurking and reading for a while, and was very glad to see that others are in the same or similar situations as me. I've been married for 2 years now, with one BS 14 and one SS 11, so I'm both the evil stepmother and dealing with a stepmother and a bioligical mom. At times I think I'd rather have my arm broken. I'm having lots of issues with lots of things, and I have trouble sorting out which ones are my problems, or his problems, or our problems, or BM's problems. I think my DH does a LOT of guilt parenting, plus the conflict between the two boys can be infuriating.
