Hi all you brave, hard working lot!
God it's hard isn't it? Really hard. Harder than I ever could have even begun to contemplate.
When I was a little girl and I thought about my future I always imagined meeting the perfect guy, getting married, a house, making kids together and bringing them up in an affectionate but disciplined way. If you'd of told me that at 25 I would be with a man with 9 and 6 year old daughters, a psychotic ex and all the cr*p that comes with it I would have laughed....or cried.
So I was a lettle bored this morning, and decided to play a little on myspace. Just for s*its and giggles, I decided to look up SS8's name. Well - guess what??
He's on there alright - or should I say BM is. The user name is his, but it's her pic, her birthdate, ect...
What is up with that?? I've told DH about it, and he doesn't get it either.
I swear, this woman is unstable...
Okay, last night we had my BD(4) AND FSD(10) at the house. During dinner my daughter ate most of her food, but didn't clear her plate, and FSD ate all of her food. Well about an hour later, we were all hanging out (me, FDH, BD, and FSD) and FSD got down a huge bag of candy and started eating it. My daughter asked for a piece and FSD gave her 2 pieces. FDH laid into me about how I could let her have those 2 (tiny) pieces of candy when she didn't clear her plate.
Of all you ladies (and gentlemen) who among you is the main financial contributor in your relationships? How do you feel about it? And do you have limits in place (ie. how much you are putting in of your own dough to court costs, skids expenses etc) to keep you from feeling like you are being taken advantage of?
So the GAL's asst. calls DH again yesterday about this so called "settlement conference" because DH wanted clarity on who exactly is the chair at this meeting, he told the asst. if it's BM- He will not be attending because she's known for her flip-floppy antics and psychotic manipulative games among other things..
My DH and SS moved from PA to Montana 'cuz DH got great job in mining industry. Took SS (age 22) because he's a coalminer, too, but doesn't have a valid license due to varied abuses of driving privileges (DUI's, driving w/suspended license....). DH felt guilty leaving SS behind because he wouldn't have any way to get to work :sick:
My foul mood may be due to lack of sleep because our freakin' cat loves to get up on high places and then dive right into the middle of the bed, usually up near my head, pulling my hair. If we shoo him out and close the door, he will just sit there digging at the door until we let him back in. He can't stand a closed door. Spoiled rotten entitled POS!
Oh....I LOVE my skids even though they are manipulative and lazy! Does ANYONE ever say that!?!? SD is sneaky and manipulative and DH doesn't think she's had sex but I've read her diary and she HAS! She will be 13 next weekend but he seems too oblivious to the fact that his daughter can do any wrong!! I'm sorry but I don't think that a 12 year old should be having sex! He IS the father and says he'd know if she was but he is obilvious about what goes on online...I'm going downstairs right now to buy the spyware to see everything she's typing online....anyone object?
I struggle all the time with stepparenting. I have one 14 y/o stepdaughter who I got when I married 4 years ago. I love my husband very much but this is a huge challenge. I came to him with no baggage, moved, gave up family, friends, a 27 year successful career, converted to his religion, changed banks...changed everything and he had to do NOTHING. Now I have his daughter to deal with - as far as kids go she is aces - straight A student, charming, witty, nice, kind, really the model child.
How is it my husband got custody of his two boys through child protective services. And then less than a year his ex goes and files for full custody at a different court and we have been fighting her now for almost 3 years. She doesnt work (RIGHT) but can afford to get tatoo's and hire an attorney. She has nothing to do with her own family, mother, grandparents, siblings. They all support us having the two boys. Why do we have to feel like we are defending ourselves? The younger feels really close to me closer than with his mother. I have had him in my live since he was 18 mo.
