So I am a young step-girlfriend I suppose. BF and BM were never together except for the night of conception. I am confused in my role because BF and I have been together not long after conception and then found out BM was prego. We also live together. BF just went to court and recieved visitation on his requested days but only at his parents. I don't know my role or when to say something but it seems like his parents are raising his child. I guess things will change next time he goes back to court but how much do I say. And I'm tired of BM thinking she will ever have a chance with BF.
This is my first blog, I have lurked here for a few months, and just have to get everything off of my chest.
My dh and I were highschool friends, who went there seperate ways after highschool and then hooked up later in life. DH's ex, told him when the split up "if I can have the leather couch you can have the kids" kids at the time were 7 and 5. He has had full custedy of them since then. Recently BM had a baby (a year ago) and has decided she is mom of the year. her other kids need to be with her, blah blah blah blah. So dh lets the kids go live with her.
the court date is not for another 2 months and bm is already in full swing turn ss against daddy! i called to set up counseling to try and get info. Since bm and dh have 50/50 legal custody we have to have a letter from her saying its ok in order to take him, we are afraid of what kind of emotional mental state my ss will be in by the time the court date comes....has any one herd of filing an emergency court date to speed up the process?
We got SS last night, and he was actually good. We had dinner and I got him ready for a shower. He took a shower without complaints or problems and even cleaned the bathroom afterwards. I am amazed. He said thank you for all of the work that I put into building his room. It's like 1st grade completely changed this kid. He didn't pee the bed last night... I am so happy... we're going out to eat this weekend to celebrate if he's good today. Sometimes a little heart-to-heart really helps kids see the light.
bm is going to court for full custody, and cs...of course! anyways, among all of her hearsay superficial nonsense she wrote in her statement, she is now brainwashing and PASing the hell out of my step son. On Wednesday ss did not even want to go to his moms, but said he wanted to stay with us for a looooooooooooong time. But today when dh talked to ss he asked to stay with his mom tonight, on our night, when dh said no he got very emotional and threw a fit. bm very fakely tried to tell ss he should see his dad...
Okay guys, I saw on another post where many kids these days are deciding when and IF they will even go to the NCP's for visitation. We are beginning to have this issue with my FSD(10), but vary rarely, only if something cooler is happening at BM's house. Now, my BD(4) has just begun visitation with my Ex EOW, from Friday after school until Sunday at 7 p.m., many times she doesn't want to go. She has been visiting on this schedule since April, at her Paternal Grandma's house, where she has spent a lot of time and is very comfortable.
friend and therapist. DH has been inundated with phone calls and emails from BM since judge decided to give Joint custody two weeks ago. Advised by friend to only reply once a week to ones that are necessary. Just print off the emails when come in, then set aside one hour on Sunday evening to respond with short one sentence message to any. Any that are just gibberish or nonsens lies, don't respond to BM,just write own reponse to what happened and staple to original email in case litigates again. Has anyone else tried this?
It is now 11:26am-here
What are the odds he gets up and goes?
Zip usually sleeps until 1:00pm
Last night DH said:
"I am working Zip-and Endora is busy-there will be no one to get you up for work tomorrow so set your alarm"
Zippy busy filling the Brita water filler at 11:30am-says NOTHING in respose to DH.
I ask DH if he thinks Zippy heard him
DH rolling his eyes-
"YES ENDORA-I HEARD MY USUAL GRUNt RESPONSE BACK FROM THE NOW PERFECT ZIPPY"
Here is what I think Zippy heard-
"No one here tomorrow-Not accountable"
Basically I have a wonderful husband of 4 years and 2 kids of my own 16 and 6 and he has one 23 yr old daughter and 2 year old granddaughter. My stepdaughter and I used to get along well and I believed she really loved and cared for me as I did her. We used to know each other and be friends before she introduced me to her dad so her and I have a history beyond her being my stepdaughter. The problem is she got upset with me over something very petty and has blocked me from her phone and been a total hard ass about the whole situation.
Made the house rules with skids-what would your house look like.
I did not want to hijack another poster-but the question intrigued me.
If Dh ran the house on Zip's behalf-Zip would be the happiest teen on the planet because there would be:
Zero Accountability
(because Endora would not have taught Dh Zip is not an infant at 14 when we got him anymore!)
No Bedtime
(Kids re able to regulate their own body clocks you know)
