Like most I'm here because I'm frustrated and don't know where to turn. My insurance won't cover this type of counseling - believe me I'd be there if it did!! SO has a 17 year-old granddaughter. I've known her all of her life and we had a quite good relationship (I never tried to be "Grandma") until she hit her early teens. From then on it was total scorn and lies. Her mother (SD) has never cared for me (partly jealousy??), and is willing to believe the worst, though she knows GD is a liar.

Of Dog Poop!

Yesterday took the cake with Zippy16.5.

My bio sons were coming over for Sunday dinner and we got to meet sons new girlfriend.

I was busy all day getting house cleaned and menu prepared. Zippy slept his usual 14 or so hours and I came in the living room to see Zippy eating Kraft Dinner on the living room pillows yet AGAIN.

I said: "Zippy-I really should not have to tell you everyday to stop eating your meals perched precariously on the living room pillows-I do not want grease and food all over the pillows and sofa-now STOP this behavior!

So the 3 day weekend with the 800 mile roundtrip journey with 3 kids went ok. Actually it went better than I had any right to hope for. However, there were a few glitches.

1. BM bought SS12 a cell phone for his bday. SS12 decided he was bringing said cell phone to my mothers. I told him I would not be responsible for it and he needed to keep track of it. Can anyone tell me how this story ends???? (First 2 guesses don't count) Biggrin

BM, SSons and summer visitation

Well, we made the trip across the united states to get my ss's for summer visitation and we are now home. All went relativly well with BM, except that she tried to give us directions to get out of town quicker and she wrote them ass backwards and she didn't even help the boys pack their suitcases. The boys, 11 and 9 packed all by themselves, which amounted to them having 47 pairs of underwear, 3 pair of shorts and 4 shirts for all summer, no pants, sweatshirts or anything. What is her deal? Not really a big deal anyways, we always have stuff for them here.

So... we just finished having a really crappy week with the kids.. my son, and his son. AND I was really looking forward to a week of peace (doesn't help that my daugther is getting her molars..so I'm also working on miniscule sleep)... so what do I do? Well I hear that SS's mother is away on business next week until Thursday, and I think to myself again??? She is always sooo busy? I mean she's got 4 kids and she never see's them. Luckily for her they are from 4 different dads..so guess she can farm them out whenever... but anyways... Ok..so I hear this..

My 30th birthday

I turned 30 this weekend and the only thing that I asked for was that we didn't have his kids for the weekend so I could have a good time without having to worry about kids. Unfortunately, he couldn't make that happen even though I asked for it a couple months ago...although his ex-wife can call on the drop of a dime and ask that we take the kids and he always agrees. I did stand my ground this weekend like I said I would and really didn't have anything to do with the kids...I told him a month before hand that if we did have the kids it wouldn't be my responsibility to take care of them.

Dog Days of Summer

So called because of the b*tch BM who will be dictating them. I asked DH today when he was going to figure out which two weeks the boys would be staying. Keep in mind that there are only 3 available weeks left (unless he screws me over but more on that). He didn't really know. So I inquired in an offhand, totally disingenuous voice if he were planning on calling tonight perhaps. He "hadn't thought about it." Oh my word, partners in 12 stepping our way into the nuthouse, whatever is a mother to do? I dropped it, that's what.
