Things you need to understand about me.

goodmom's picture

I have low tolerance for nastiness and abuse towards children because I work for a sector of the Department and Children and Families. I am a mandated reporter and I see mental and emotional abuse day in and day out. I see the affect it has on the children and it is not pretty. There is also a high number of steps/BF and GF types that are the culprits of the abuse. When abuse is suspected the first question asked is always "Is there a BF or GF in the house?"

Hoping I gave SD a lesson...

So, I have blogged about the open cabinet doors before and tonight I hope it taught SD12 a lesson. Leaving cabinet doors and drawers open drives me absolutely nuts! FH has finally got the point after I left all the cabinet doors and drawers open in the kitchen after he didn't close a cabinet door left open...he came home to find everything open and closed all of them....however the skids haven't learned their lesson... So I noticed tonight that SD12 left a drawer in the bathroom open so I opened it all the way which actually hangs past the door opening...

I want to ask a question for all the parents out there.

I want to know what you guys think about telling your children how you really feel about their BM/BD?? Do you think this is an appropriate topic to discuss with your children?? Or is this something that should not be heard by them??

this is the time it makes it all worth it

DH basically says "LOVE SS LIKE I DO OR GET OUT"

Well, Here I am, trying to be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAMN NICE about SS9 staying with ME all the time after school, when NO ONE asked me how I felt about it. Here is the latest:

I work from 3am until 10 am.

DH works from 10am until 7pm.

Look at those above hours. That means I get home from work, and get our BS1, and DH goes to work. DH comes home from work, and I go to bed for 6 hours or so until I go back to work.

AARGH! SD16 tries oh so hard to get my goat again today. Last time was 4 months ago, which we ended up shipping to BM to have a try being FT mom for a few months. What a disaster---she failed three classes out of six for final quarter, got more disrespctful to us. One class she failed so miserably the last q (had been getting c/b/d prev) that she failed for the whole year.
So, now she is living with us again, thanks to judge who said permissive parenting is not a good thing, especially for a teen who tends to find trouble.

i lowered myself to bm's level, ugh, feel free to tell me so

so earlier in the week i got a friend request(on facebook) from a person i didnt know, so i wrote her, do i know you? no response, so i randomly check bm's myspace and she has un blocked it. Mainly because she is so desperate to get my dh to fight with her, and she knows that he doesnt like her having photos of ss for everyone to see. BUT i see the same photo for the friend request for a profile with a comment on bm's myspace. oh, hahahahha, now i see, bm is so pathetic she feels the need to have her friends stalk me on facebook.

more drama

My SS now feels the need to tell every movie that his mother allows him to watch. He's 7, she let him watch Chuckie, Jeff Dunham, Twilight, Punisher, and something about white noise, idk i dont like scary movies and don't allow them in my house.
