This is great news! A boy who was abducted by his BM during a custody dispute with the father was found alive at his grandmother's house. The BM was charged with abduction and the grandmother was charged with aiding and abetting her daughter.
Must vent my frustration here. I have talked about bm letting my SS get away with anything, giving in to his con's and his whinning. Well No matter how I say it it seems that the whine comes out when someone is around. Well last night his sister wanted to stay at a friends house I let her she is 9 he is 6 he didn't get to sooooo.. I NEVER GET TO STAY ANY WHERE. boo hoo feel sorry for me. I didn't I told him YOur dad isnt ready for you to stay the night somewhere. pout pout stomp stomp boo hoo.
I still cant figure it out. My step daughter is nothing like my biological children except for my 5 year old who still whines and cries if he cant have something he wants. But my older children understand the word "no". Although they may not like it they rarely will argue. They might say please please...but they dont sass me or talk crap to me.
So FH and I are having a cook out later today with both our families so they can all meet each other. I'm really stressing right now and truth be told have been for the past couple of days. I've been preparing for this party for the past week...cleaning, shopping, etc. We're expecting about 40-45 people...and yes this is just immediate family...LOL...parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles and one cousin. I've been preparing food all day today and night...actually just laid down in bed not too long ago.
I'm a 32 yr old woman with no children of my own. No previous marriage, just 1 long relationship before my DH. I've been with DH for 6 years. We've lived together for 3.5, been married for 2.
I have 1 SD9 who is a good kid, with mostly normal kids problems (IE:rudeness, talking back, not picking up after herself). We have considered me a SM from very early on because DH and I lived together, and were always serious about or commitment to each other.
BM and SO have joint custody of SK so that means splitting the bill, which includes shoes, clothes, food, tuition fees, etc.
SO and I co-own a business but it's still in its start-up stage. I earn more than SO but we combine our earnings and both pay each other's bills (I also help him pay his debt before we got married).
SK is living with us 50% of the time. I hate the BM and I've no plans of talking to her. SK is OK.
I do not have proof but we suspect this is going on. What things can be done to help reverse the "brain washing" if it is going on. I am at a loss.
so currently we are waiting for court in oct. because bm wants custody and wants more money because she isnt working. Mainly she is insanely jealous that dh and i are now married. Infact, she filed for custody 3 weeks after we got married. Its all so sad and pathetic how much of a waste of space she truly is, but we talked to a lawyer and discovered that there is no way we will lose custody and most likely will no longer pay her any money at all.
I think I've had all I can take. DH keeps trying to talk to BM and the SS is such a pain. I am only 21 years old and I don't think I have what it takes to deal with this crap anymore.
My BF and I have been discussing moving in with each other by next summer (before my son enter HS) So I'd be moving in with him. He has joint custody of his boys with his BM. We live an hour away from each other. He lives closer to his children (about 20 minutes). My son is in the 8th grade, his oldest son is in 7th his youngest in 1st. Now, if I move with him, I'll have to uproot my son to move in with him. I suggested that he could move to MY area which is about 40 minutes away from his boys and then my son wouldn't have to leave his school system, his friends, his way of things.
