i am about to walk away from the best man i ever had because of her. she is the sneakiest most kniving child i have seen in my life. her dad sees no wrong in how she treats me though. she has no boundaries, she goes through my drawers, personal papers,(even had my s.s. #, for her sneaky mother i guess). her dad had got me some proactive face wash and she used it all up just to spite me, same thing with my bath and body works lotions. she gets into any of my things she wants to but if i say something to her father I'm being selfish. she will break rules when hes around just to see us fuss.
I am new to this board, but after lurking around, I already feel right at home. My DH and I have been married for a couple of years, and he shares joint custody of SS9. His ex is a real piece of...(insert adjective here). She is bi-polar and from the time that my DH and I started dating, she would call, e-mail, 4-5 times every day about all kinds of nonsense (what time is he going to bed?, what did he eat for dinner? etc. etc.) We stopped answering and responding to calls and told her that we would only respond if the request was in writing and relevant.
Hi everyone! I am new here and I am hoping some of you have experienced some of the same things I do. No matter what it is nice to have a place to vent. I am marrying a man, J, next July and he has a 3 and a half year old daughter who he gets every week on his 2 days off. I knew he had a kid when I met him and since I am a kindergarten teacher I didn't mind. Well, I didn't know it was going to end up being so much drama. First of all the "baby mama" is very young and lives off his the child support he pays her. The child doesn't go to daycare or socialize with any other children.
I am getting married to DH is October...we have been trying to plan out the next couple of months. Our wedding is out of town (my hometown) and we have alot of going back and forth to do. DH has shared parenting with BM, he is supposed to get the kids Sunday, Monday, Thursdays, and one Saturday a month. Well, we have discovered that sometimes what was written down on paper almost 2 years ago doesn't exactly apply now. BM wanted to start getting SS5 and SD9 one Sunday a month, which was fine with us because we would like to have a Sunday "off" once in awhile!
Okay, just got back from a mini vacation with the hubby and 2 step-kids. All in all I really cant complain... things went pretty well. I'll have to say thou, I was really dreading it and thinking the entire time before it, that if I could get thru it without flipping out on anyone, that it would be a good time. Every thing went well, we all had some good laughs and generally no fights or arguments at all to speak of, so for that part of it I am grateful. One thing that is really bugging me right now is that I helped to pay for a good portion of the trip.
about a funny story that happened when the girls were younger. Jojo's comment was in her "I can't believe he's mad because I want him to sleep with me" post. She mentioned in a reply that DH has probably accidentally flashed SD a glimpse of the trecherous trouser snake and it made me remember this story.
You need to know that the girls used to refer to their private area as "unies" pronounced EW-KNEES. This is vital to the story:)
Last visitation weekend (1 - 3 August) when DH picked up SD at the meeting location..
SD mentions to DH that "Jeff" is going to buy her school clothes this year. AND that her mommi was mad cause they were supposed to do it instead of SD coming to visit DH.
So BM gets CS (alot of CS) is not paying daycare this summer and has "Jeff" buying the school clothes.
Not to mention we still paid the $800 child support for June and July when the child was with us.
BM called on 1 Aug to try and switch DH's visitation to last weekend.... (7-9 August). She claimed this was due to having to get all of SD's school clothes on that weekend and she could not do it any other time. She then proceeded to lie and say that 1-3 August was the tax free weekend.
Well after I explained to DH that was a lie - he told her no and we went ahead with our wedding anniversary plans for this past weekend 8 August. Whew that year went by very quickly.......
DH has been pushing for a meeting. When he calls SD 32 about this meeting she states that she doesn't want to discuss the "show incident". She states "I'm over that. What I want to discuss is the fact that SM will not let BDs sleep over at my house!"
I assume she realizes that there is no way that she will look like anything other than an over-reactive fool if she discusses the show incident so she has now zeroed in on a new area of complaint!
Our adult SS (35) has barely spoken to his father or myself since DH's mother died and they (SS 35 and SD 32) found out that they were not in the will and that they could not guilt or manipulate their father into giving them his inheritance (pitiful amount that it was). SD 32 was equally as vindictive but kept talking to DH off and on (but was openly rude and dismissive of me) so that we would continue babysitting her two children.
