Now I'm really irritated

shellbell's picture

My son is almost 11 his (sperm donor) had just started paying child support in feb. of this year. It stopped in June because apparently the SD foot was rotting off or something idk. Of course he never told me I had to text and ask why I wasn't receiving cs. I check my space from time to time to see if he mentions being back at work. I happend to check his little gf's and supposedly they just got engaged on sat. I don't care about that but she's bragging about the ring. Hello how did he buy that if he can't even pay cs and is living with mommy again?

Changed Outlook......... BM issues / SM issues......

After reflecting back on the court case last week, and issues DH and I have had to deal with BM (DH for 6 years - myself for about 2 years - since she met me and we got married)

I have come to a couple realizations..... and have decided to stop allowing BM into my marriage and home emotionally.... She will no longer be a topic of discussion on any type of regular basis... at all!

DH and myself have spent so much energy on trying to figure her out, trying to keep her at least peaceful, and discussing her and her actions. Well, no more.

Zyrtec versus Generic

So my SD8 has very bad allergies. She's got seasonal allergies combined with cat allergies (cat is at BM's house) and so I have SD8 taking Zyrtec. Well, SD8 had an "accident" in her bed the other night and after trying to convince us that her "ceiling must have leaked!" (lord heavens, our roof does not leak!), she eventually told us she had a little accident. SD8 then spoke with BM a little later and BM convinced her that her little accident must have been caused by the Zyrtec.

Empty poptart boxes and other little things that drive me insane!

Someone please explain to me that when someone eats the last package of poptarts, it’s absolutely impossible for them to throw the box into the garbage which is sitting a mere three feet away. Not only is the box not thrown in the garbage, the empty wrapper is put back into the poptart box and the box is put back in the cabinet. Why???

Rough Morning

Well it all started last night. After reading lots of posts over the past week and listening to all the advice we all give, I decided I needed a night out. Well, I guess SD was not happy about it. Apparently she was acting out all evening and FH decided to take her to bed early. Only, into our bed. So, when I got home, at 8:30 (EARLY) they were both sleeping. My turn for the couch, which was actually fine with me, because I just got the "Step Monsters" book and I was excited to start reading. Anyway, FH had to go to work at 3am this morning, which left me to get SD ready for school.

CS---

DH gets a nasty gram email from BM about CS we owe for three months while SD16 lived w/her--see previous post as was a disaster and judge ordered she back with us----anyway, Judge gives us three mos--sept/oct/nov to pay for those three months support. Doesn't say how, when,etc.. to pay. I made first pmt end of August.

Do you believe in karma?

I TOTALLY believe in karma...some people don't and that's ok. However, I feel like karma is coming back to FH. First, he's been coughing up a lung all night and earlier in the day I told him to not let SS9 go to football practice. He said SS was ok and sent him anyway...we pick him up from practice and he's practically hacking up a lung...drop him off at BM's shack and get a call 5 minutes later asking why we didn't give him an inhaler. FH told her that all three of us looked for the inhaler but SS9 told us that both inhalers were at BM's house and was positive of it..

It is so hard to fall from a pedestal

Some hard lessons were learned tonight by BF and SD10, such as she is not the only child in our home.

Last night, BF asked me if SD10 could sleep on the couch in our room one night this week. Not for any reason other than she asked to do so. No crisis, no special night, no storms.... just wanted to sleep in our room.

I could not give him an answer right away. I don't think she SHOULD sleep in our room at all! She is 10 years old! My daughters were in their own room before they were 2!
