The SDs have been with us fulltime for two weeks now and it hasn't been easy. We finally mangaged to get all their toys and clothes from BM's into their room (there was heaps). We are struggling to get veges into them for evening meals. Apparently they never needed to eat them at BM's (she is almost finished a catering course which will qualify her as a chef so if anyone could make veges interesting and yum she should be able to!) When we asked them what they ate for tea at BMs we were told 'Mum just made us toatie pies'.
I just want to THANK GOD & all of the people that have been praying the devil out of my house. I am not saying that SD is the devil but one must understand that I have been dealing with principles & principalities. Please don't misunderstand, I have not prayed for this child to stay away, I have only prayed for God's perfect will to be done in this situation, whatever that might be. I have, however, asked the Lord to change her or remove her far from me.
But then again-hard to with no Life Skills Training....
I have been busy with a career transition-but "The Adventures with Zippy" carry on...
Zippy is almost 17 now (I have seen him blossom from a little 5'10" 14 year old thumb sucker, hanging off DH- to an almost 17 year old-6"2 - brain dead 24/7 gamer-ahhh the sentimental part of me is showing....)
On the UP side-Zip has kept a job at the local hamburger joint for a record 2 months now (on my way with a cake to celebrate this weekend!)-
are really a result of issues with the couple? I see so many people on here recommmending couples counseling, relationship therapy, etc. How many of us on here would actually benefit if our SO actually just took a PARENTING CLASS?? How many of the problems would disappear if our SO would actually PARENT their child(ren)?
Well this has been bothering me for about a week now, dh informed me last weekend that sd's needed new backpacks. Now us purchasing the backpacks doesn't bother me at all, it is what bm did that really p*sses me off. BM took ss and sd's and bought ss (he lives with bm full time and doesn't do his visitation with dh, that is ss's choice. It is a long story and I have blogged about it before.) a backpack and told my sd's that they had to use the one they had from last year. WTF???? This really ticked me off, especially after what happened at the beginning of the month.
Well, Friday is the deadline for those Lazy SD Princesses (20 & 25) to move out of my house, but their Dad still "doesn't want a scene" and wants to talk to them about when they are planning on moving out. I hate to admit it, but to all of you who told me the SD's weren't planning on going anywhere, I think you were all correct. Those two SD's are planning on staying put. They know their Dad "doesn't want a scene" so they are going to force a scene in order to make me look like crap. Well, I hate to break the news to them, a scene is also going to make them look like crap.
my dh was just delivered the papers and deposition that bm is taking him to court for full custody, as well as the right of refusal if dh will be away from ss longer than 2 hours. She states that ss says im a monster and im always yelling at dh and ss, i drink alot, and that im mean to him and he is afraid of me. There are many things in there that are lies of stories that she was not present for but got the wrong story from my mother in law. She says that dh calls her names in front of ss etc............ugh, here we go! oh yay!!
any of you have encouraging words?
The list BM sent to me of what she thinks SS needs for school clothes if freaking crazy!
What exactly does an 11 year old need for starting school when it comes to clothes?
..with the idea of adopting SD.
I know it's silly, but I think the thought has always been in the back of my mind, I just have never allowed myself to entertain the idea. Maybe because of guilt because she has a bio mom and I have never wanted to replace that. And maybe because of fear that there is no chance it will ever happen.
It's crazy, but I almost find myself jealous of other posters who have been dealing with worse BM situations than I, as I get to thinking, "If only BM did that, I know the Court would be able to terminate her rights".
