Am I being too Jealous

justme2's picture

My fiance (we are due to get married at the end of the month) is too nice to his ex-wife. He lets her control when the children come over. He agreed with whatever was in the divorce papers. She was suppose to get the house and the automobile with the smallest and shortest payoff. She didn't pay on the house or the car. The car was repoed and the house was about to go into foreclosure last year (she was over 4 months behind). We stepped in and have been trying to get the house caught up. He has not held her responsible for any of the back payment.

im curious how you would feel. fh says that im over reacting and i cant figure out how to put in to words that what he did needs to NEVER happen again

so last night fh and i have some beers with the neighbors and then i came home to do some stuff. FH comes home and proceeds to continue to drink. At 1230am he comes in to give ma a kiss (im still doing something--not asleep) and says that he has text stupid shit to tell her basically that..shes stupid.

More Pre-Vacation Drama from BM

Nymh's picture

BM called BF this morning and said, among other things, that we were putting our unborn baby in danger by flying. She tried to tell him that there would be problems with me flying while pregnant and it would harm our baby. She told him that our 9 month old would have problems flying. She told him that he didn't care about me or BM or his children, he just cared about his damn vacation and to hell with everyone else. She told him that she gave him permission to take SS to Florida, but she did NOT give him permission to fly him there.

If you could write a letter to your skids

Anon2009's picture

what would you say (granted, in many cases this would be one of those letters that you write but don't send)?

We all have our own histories, and I thoroughly enjoy coming here to gain different perspectives on stepparenting. I know our situations vary. The people in these situations vary. Their (and our) behaviors and reactions to these situations vary.

I think that, every now and then, we should all come on here and write a letter directed at skids, DHs, FHs, BFs, and BMs in a way that's anonymous enough so nobody can figure out it's us.

I've recently discovered something this website is also good for

Besides Venting!! Smile

Every once in a while, I go through my past blogs just to see what I've written about, so I don't do it again.

And there it is.... a history of relationship with SD and BM. A history that I can look back at and say... Wow...this did come up before. Or Shoot! Was it really ONLY last Friday that we had this run in with BM?

HOW TO DEAL WITH SOCCER PRACTICE???

Rosedeer1's picture

I know this might seem stupid to some of you but my ss and my foster daughter have practice on the same night for soccer they are ss(5) fd(4) and i am having a very hard time dealing with the fact that BM will probably be at her sons soccer practice I am not sure because she is the BM that just moved an hour away but i assume she will be there because she loves any chance to talk to my DH and see him, she is still not over him and we are married.

I hate it when BF is difficult toward BM for the sake of being difficult!! GRRR

In the parenting plan, it says that if one or the other parent is going to take SS out of state for more than 24 hours, they must provide the other parent with an itinerary including contact information for the duration of the trip. It does not specify when this itinerary must be given to the other parent. We are taking SS with us on vacation to Florida next week - we pick him up on Friday and fly down on Saturday.BM does not want SS to fly.

Okay, I read all the replies.....

Sassy's picture

To start off I never really pay attention to names or who writes what. Usually I read some of the recent posts and answer some if they apply or if I think I have a good point to throw in. I was not deliberately trying to attack "evryone" on here. I should have said some parents or some step parents or some other vague term. I was going to try to respond to each reply individually but there's a ton. Soemone said they thought since I hadn't replied yet, i wasn't goign to or to be here anymore-that's a load whoever that was.

Miserable

kaileen's picture

My husband and I are in our early 40's and we have been married for 18yrs and the sons are not just mine, they're his too. The answer to your question is NO her mother (spouse's half sister)doesn't work. All she wants to do is party all the time instead of taking care of her responsibility which is not fair to anyone that has already raised their children like an adult should.
