I got the list of supplies that the girls "need" for the new school year and I was really irritated when I read it. They wanted 3 packs of #2 Pencils, 3 packs of loose notebook paper, 4 single subject composition books, 6 freaking gluesticks, 2 erasers, scissors, a box of 16 count crayons, pencil case, backpack, group hand sanitizer and a box of baby wipes. This is for each kid. I sit just me or does it sound like we are stocking this womans classroom? I am willing to bet all this crap goes on a "community shelf" for everyone to use. The problem is not every kids paretn buys the stuff.

Back from Vacation all and had a great time.....When i come to this site i always wonder if we all come here to Vent, Share, Give advice or what....I just want to throw that question out there this great Monday morning.....

I know it sounds bad but has any SMs tried pushing the skids to move to their BMs house? FH has joint custody and we always fight and I'm always on edge when they are here. I'm at the point that I'm going to the doctor to get anxiety meds because I can't breathe normally and my heart starts beating faster when they are on their way over. SD12 drives me up the frickin wall every time. She has a huge attitude and expects everything to be given to her without doing anything to earn it.

We have full custody. I've had the countdown on my calendar since about the 2nd week of summer break! Between now and school start, we have a visit with G-PA that will take a few days off, so I'm counting about 10 and a half days of SS invasion.
