OT - I'm addicted

Stick's picture

to this site! I just finished a 6 month long job and am now home, waiting for the next project. It's amazing how cathartic it is to read everyone's blogs - whether I can commiserate or just say a prayer for someone or just laugh! Even when it's quiet (or as quiet as can be here) I'm online all the time! Does anyone else surf here all day on and off?? Please tell me I'm not cray-zeeeeee!

On the subject of child support

Can anyone tell me what the rule in New York is? I read some of your stories and I just cannot believe what I am seeing! We have SD living with us, but are going to ask BM for child support since she doesn't pay anything right now at all. SD has been living with us for a year. How does it work? IF BF makes more than BM, is her amount decreased? Or is it decreased because of my income? And what does it cover?

Hi Everyone. I'm new here and be forewarned...this is going to be long because I HAVE to vent...

As stated in my profile, I'm a 37 year old single mom with two kids ages 18 and 14. I'm engaged to a really great guy who has an 8 year old daughter.

My problems are pretty much the result of two separate factors, which I'll keep separate.

Ugh! Being a SM is miserable!

Not the mama's picture

Everytime my SS11 visits, my H wants to make it a vacation of nonstop fun. WTH? I keep telling him he has guilty dad syndrome, but he says no. H wants to call in sick to work for the time SS11 is on summer visitation (15days June, 15 days July) H refuses to plan fun when SS is not with us...why? We have two BD's and life isn't supposed to stop when SS leaves. This is so frustrating and it is seriously affecting our marriage. It doesn't help that the BM is nuts, really, she has been in and out of rehab.
