After a great wedding where SD gave a heart felt and complimentary speech, she goes to her moms, we go on our honeymoon (great time!) return home last week and thursday she sends an email saying she isn't coming back. DH calls talks and thinks she may get on the plane saturday. Mom is no prize. she is living with her mom, unemployed, in and out of jail with no D.L Living on unemployment and child support from her 5 yr olds dad. Our 15 yr old claims she needs to stay cause her brother needs her, she feels a maternal instinct to protect and care for him.
My DH called me earlier and wanted to catch a movie with me. I purchased two tickets for G.I Joe but realized we didnt have a sitter for our son. Its not our weekend to have my SS so I ussumed he wasnt at my house. Sooo, I call him and tell him i'll stay home with our son and he can take his buddy to the movie. He says ok. I get home, hand him the tickets and BAM my SS comes running out! I say "hi, arent you supposed to be with your mom?" he says "yes, but my daddy is taking me to the movies!" I go to my DH and ask whats up. He says that he'd rather take his son than a friend.
So my DH is under the impression that this new therapist may be the answer to avoiding court or at least not having to pay for a parenting evaluation. He thinks that the therapist may be enough to testify against BM and her instability.
Do any of you have any experience with this?
Can a therapist be all we need if BM, DH and SKids are all going to a mutually agreed on person and that person finds the BM to be unfit??
I know this isn't major and not anything completely horrible, but I just wanted some input from you all.
BM gets to see her daughter (my SD) 1 night a week. Over the Summer it is Friday nights. SD is 15 going on 16. She doesn't really enjoy these visits.
The thing is, BM barely has a plan for what to do with SD on those nights. It was like this for a very long time and then SD counselor and DH both told BM that she needs to make the most of this time with her daughter. She gets 1 night a week so they should do SOMETHING together.
We have the skids and my BS6 every other week. Skids spend Friday to Friday with us and my BS spends Monday to Monday with us so it always works out to where we have all the kids with us every other weekend. The skids were supposed to come today but FH's parents are taking them camping tonight because they have to go pick up another one of the grandkids out of town today so they decided they would like to take the kids and go camping. FH said that was fine if they took skids with them. I am a little ticked that they didn't ask if my BS wanted to go along as well.
DH and I have more fights when Severus is with us than any other time. In fact, every fight we have is about him. Last night, DH got mad I was going to have Severus wash dinner dishes by hand (I didn't go to the store for soap). He thinks its too hard and I am just trying to punish him all the time. I said I washed dishes by hand my entire childhood and it didn't kill me and this isn't punishment. Its fact, we don't have dishwasher soap.
Sigh-
It has been awhile since I have blogged re Zippy-DH is getting the hint about rules, boundaries and limitations re the Zipster.
Me & my girls went to counseling yesterday, it went well. Only I kind of feel bad because everyone in my family right now, except for SD is getting some kind of counseling. Out of everyone, she needs it the most but DH can't see it. She did however go to school twice this week for 20 minutets & completed 3 credits instead of 1.
I am new to this. I am a step mother to a 16 year old (currently living hours away and 8 months pregnant), a 14 year old, and a 10 year old, all girls. The problem is the 14 year old. She and the 10 year old live full time with my husband and I. She has stolen jewelry from me (some of which was found in her room) and lies to me constantly. Just when I think our relatoinship is on the right track she does something else. She won't listen to my husband and I, and is a slob with a capitol S.
