When I got home last night the house was really quiet. SS10, we'll call him Harry, (So I like Harry Potter, sue me) 
, was doing his chores and Severus (SS12) was no where to be seen. I went outside to talk to DH and DH told me Severus was grounded for a week. Not surprising but I asked what he did. Turns out he took his $300 Nintendo DS to daycamp and gave it to a "friend" to keep in his backpack. Keep in mind, he has known this kid a total of 7 days.
So it's been a hard summer for us. My grandfather went through a double-bypass in June and while improving, unexpectedly passed away. Two weeks later, I wind up in the hospital on the 4th of July with appendicitis. We are just now trying to get back to routine. Unfortunately, the SS is making things worse. He was doing SO well at the end of the school year, we thought we'd try 50/50 visitation with the BM this summer, because we knew he missed her and it would also give us a bit of a break from the past 3 years of hell. That was SO not a good idea.
I met my husband in Oct 05, we immediately hit it off. I knew he had a child and was separated. It was very recent but there didn't seem to be an issue. After a couple of weeks he found out she was pregnant, she wanted to get an abortion (she didn't, and denies the attempt now) she said it probably wasn't his baby anyway. It took almost a year before I met the children (by that time there were 2) and so here I was holding this most precious 2 month old baby girl when we simply fell in love.
a high number of guests on the site. I wonder if these guests are just people kinda lurking to get a feel for the site or if their are BM trying to find out of their SM is posting about them.
Like now there are 35 users and 120 guests.
I am a 29 year old step mom and bio mom. My SD's are 5 year old twin girls and my DD is 6 months old. I am also pregnant again all we are all hoping for a boy but will be just as happy with another little princess. It was a bit of a surprise but Hey, the more the merrier right? I have been married going on three years to my fabulous musician hubby.
I have been married to my DH for 1.5 years after dating for 2.5. My SS is now 8, so technically I have been a part of his life for half of his life. In the begining things with Dudebug were good and at times, great. He was always accepting and affectionate. I never overstepped my boundaries. We had lots of fun. I made some very positive changes at DH's bachelor pad. I instituted bedtime stories, made sure teeth were brushed daily and nightly, cooked good food and taught Dudebug table manners.
I know that this is going to probably be one of those sensitive topics for some people, I am just posting my personal beliefs and why (while keeping an open mind), so please do the same. I'm interested to hear other people's, especially SP's, veiws on co-sleeping. Before I go into my personal opinion, I did some research and even in "still intact families" there are a couple of risks with co-sleeping.
The wicked bio mom of the west is wanting to make sure I, the stepmom does not attend the mediation upcoming. Does anyone have any advice on my rights as a stepmother and why I couldn't attend? Also, any advise on how we could get full custody? The order now states there is no primary parent are custody is shared 50/50. Thank you!
I'm new and I'm hoping for some tips on how to get along with my hubby's two kids. He has a son that's 24 and a daughter that is 16. We have a 2 year old daughter together. His son ignores me and his daughter hates me.
The "GAL" called to confirm the appt yesterday and asked DH if he had a good number for BM, She said she kept calling the number she was given for BM's [unbeknownst to us] FULL TIME JOB and said she was having a very hard time getting a hold of her. DH gave her 2 numbers BM gave us when we picked SS up after the court hearing- they were numbers of 2 of the guys BM frequents,-because of course she still has "no phone" the GAL seem disgusted- I can't wait for her to start investigating the situation and to find out what is really going on in SS's life- school records/medical etc-
