Basically I have a wonderful husband of 4 years and 2 kids of my own 16 and 6 and he has one 23 yr old daughter and 2 year old granddaughter. My stepdaughter and I used to get along well and I believed she really loved and cared for me as I did her. We used to know each other and be friends before she introduced me to her dad so her and I have a history beyond her being my stepdaughter. The problem is she got upset with me over something very petty and has blocked me from her phone and been a total hard ass about the whole situation.
Made the house rules with skids-what would your house look like.
I did not want to hijack another poster-but the question intrigued me.
If Dh ran the house on Zip's behalf-Zip would be the happiest teen on the planet because there would be:
Zero Accountability
(because Endora would not have taught Dh Zip is not an infant at 14 when we got him anymore!)
No Bedtime
(Kids re able to regulate their own body clocks you know)
Well, thanks so much to all those who responded to my previous blog about my SD14's grandfather. Even before reading them, I had decided that this was her decision to make, not mine. I have challenged her for the past 6 years to be decisive and employ reason. Allowing her to not make this decision would not be helpful to her at all. So, she is going to have to make this decision independent of me.
what my house would be like if i allowed DH to run the show? last nite we were talking to our neighbors & my DH asked the man nextdoor if he wanted a puppy, becuz we have some puppies we're giving away. Neighbor's wife says NO! Neighbor tells my DH yes, that he's the man of the house. DH makes the comment,"I wish I was the man of the house at my house." I told him that the neighbor doesn't know what he's talking about, his wife just ALLOWS him to THINK that he runs the show, but really she's the shot-caller.
Part two of "Evening at SRK's"-see recent blog.
Finally at 1:00am-Zippy (almost 17)-trudges through the door-DH was nervous about Zippy walking for an hour at night as well he should be-but DH has finally wrapped his head around the fact that Zippy needs to learn things the "hard way" or he does not "get it".
Zippy is not pleased with Daddy-kins-starts in with his condescending attitude-
"Dad, you always said if I "needed" a ride you would come and get me".
After her requesting homemade chicken burgers for tea and me checking exactly what she likes in them, I proceded to make them. Knowing what was to come I subtly watched her eating, I noticed her picking at it and asked her to stop picking and just eat. She started with an excuse about how the cheese wasn't right. So, I interupted her and said of COURSE I didn't make it right cause that was ALWAYS the case and I was sick and tired of spending all my time cooking for her to just have her complain.
Ok, so why is it when I mention to take away priviledges, that BF says "How about instead of that... lets give them rewards for NOT behaving badly"
Uh, ......... Ok...... I can agree with that.... but....
So I ask, "ok, what if they DO break a rule?"
BF, "Give them a lesser reward!"
Did I just fall off a turnip truck???
Have you been through this and give us advise????Please let us know we are the custody parents and the mother is needing this. Her attorney requested it on all of us. thanks
The courts order a 730 eval. on my husbands ex. We received the boys from CPS 3 years ago and are still fighting her. Has anyone been through on of these and have advise?
So, we had it all worked out with the passing of SD14's maternal grandpa....we'll go to burial site after everyone leaves and allow her time to say her goodbyes. She was okay with that plan. We supported her. Well, guess what?
There's no burial site. Apparently the body was donated to science. So there is a memorial service at 2 on Saturday. I tell SD14 to let me know what she thinks and she tells me today two disturbing things:
1. If she goes, she wants me to take her and not H. This is problematic b/c biomom hates me with a passion.
