I am not going to be victim to my stepdaughter and her shenanigans anymore,I am done. I will be civil to her if she comes around but I am done. Wanting her to love me and resolve our issues that are really her issues by texting and leaving voice mails to her with no response, is only draggin me down and not making me a good parent,wife,and worker and she ain't worth all that. I was letting her drag me down emotionally with her alienation. Shit on her, I know I am a good person and have been simply great to her from day one. My husband knows all this and he thinks she is being ridiculous.

BM is a crazy you know what

How is it that BM can be so crazy and bitter that she would try to convence herself that FH has no custody of SD3? In fact, FH has shared both physical and legal custody yet she just says that SD visits. Why is it so hard for her to admit that she is not this perfect mom? I swear this women is crazy! So new drama now lol of course! Now she is saying that FH and I tell SD bad things about her and he boy friend. She believes that because SD hates living with them. She never wants to see her mom, she even tells the day care lady to take her to Daddy.

Although..

I am not officially a step parent (by law) I do have to care for our two kids (my wifes) I do not hate/love kids but will have the utmost respect for those who I have inherited if they respect the small regulations that I wish to have whilst they live within the house that I provide.

Yet again .......... another estimate on the cost of these little and not so little resource consumers we choose to raise.

This one was a little different. It referenced family interviews as part of the data set for the estimate of cost to raise a child.

It also discusses the distribution of the total costs of raising a child by age ranges and birth number and order.

Best regards,

I have not posted about BF's ex, the BM because I don't normally think about her. BF and I use to talk about her a lot, his venting and asking advice. She is not a problem for me, other than what she does to her kids. She does not even really cause problems for BF, other than being needy every once in a while.

Now time for the in-laws rant...kind of off topic...

So my husband's father & stepmother came up yesterday. They're here for at least a week. They have a huge motor home (or whatever they're called) & are staying at a camp ground a few minutes from our house. I really like them both, so that's not the issue. The issue is that every year they come up & we have no plans on what we're doing while they're here. It's really awkward.
