and do it all over again...would you? to be involved with a man that was emotionally wrecked from divorce...dealing with bm's...dealing with sk issues, cs,....all the drama and the fights and everything that goes along with it. is your love for your husband so unique and special and you're so certain you could never have that with anyone else....has it made it all worth it. and how many of you went into this relationship having never been married and having no children of your own? i just really want to know how many of you would do it all over again.
I was out last night with some of the girls in my office, most of them are younger than I am... still enjoying their lives of singledom etc... I'm their bosses boss, so often times they don't open up to me, but after a few glasses of vino...they opened up.. and wow! I guess it's generation Y or something, but a lot of them do not want kids.. Hey I get this.. I understand this 100%, but then they say... that their plan is to marry a man with a child already, then they don't have to have one!!!!! I almost fell off my chair... !
Man, yesterday I had the biggest pity party. It kind of all started the day before. The only part that was step related was my general irritability about the way FH coddles SD8. Most everything else was just life in general. Being screwed over by companies I deal with, being taken advantage of by people (mostly at work), BD14 giving me lip, not seeing my BS18 for days, FH giving me the cold shoulder night before last and then leaving his phone in his car last night (so I couldn't vent to him about anything). On top of all this being at a hormonal time of the month...I just lost it.
I know many people have asked this before. BM sent us a bill for SD4 pre school saying it was $405. She is not working and gets a CS and alimony payment of $4200/mth (which is more than half DH's salary).
Do we have to pay 50/50 of the school fees inspite of paying CS?
Any help is appreciated!!!!

P:S: I am new to this and will be needing lots of support from you ladies!!!
I finally got counseling kind of scheduled. I called today and while she doesn't have anything open for the evenings she is putting me on her cancellation list to call. Hopefully it won't take too long. She requested that I start out coming alone. I guess she needs to assess the situation before involving DH. I'm just not sure I'm really going to be able to open up to her.
I know its not the reason, but I feel like a crazy person going to see a therapist...
But then, I guess I am going a little crazy with the way life is going.
BM over here has a phrase and independently of each other, DH and SD have both said to me, how BM uses the phrase to basically JUSTIFY anything she does, says, or wants. And that phrase is...
"But I'm the MOTHER"!!
laughing my arse off! Starfish stated " but, I LOVE this place-----makes me feel so much better about my situation when I read how absolutely terrible some of you have it-----my heart goes out to ya!" Honestly, I laughed my arse off...
My husband and I have been married for over two years. He has two teenagers 17 & 16. I have three 11, 7 & 5.
There have been ALL sorts of issues, which are totally normal behavioral things for kids. But this is where things veer off course.
My husband and I don't agree on how to parent his children. He wants to tell me how to parent mine. And I let him have a lot of input. But he is downright mean to them sometimes, he yells. A lot.
He's gotten physical with my eleven year old.
Stepmom to the middle child called us last night and stated that her mother-in-law said that the middle brother to my SS was urinating blood.
When the grandmother called BM and asked if she was going to take the child to get checked out BM said, I'll pick him up Friday..
FRIDAY?!
Stepmom said she's calling child services today, her husband [BM's ex] is out of state in Texas at the moment and she is livid..
I find it strange that my SS pees about 30 times an hour, when there's nothing left to even pee and now his brother is urinating blood..
