Thank G*d for sleep meds. No, I am not going to OD and this is not a warning. LOL.

I was just thinking, though, the inventors of Ambien HAVE SKIDS AND SPOUSES OF THOSE SKIDS WHO JUST DON'T GIVE A DAMN about anyone or anything that doesn't involve them.

Hahahaha. It's my birthday and I so don't care about being weird right now. LOL.

No worries; I'll be back to caring on Friday. Wink

Feeling helpless, The kid has too much control

I am a loss. My 15 yro Sd told us that after her mom got out jail (SD lives with us a few states away thank heavens) that BM went on Dead tour (hey I like the Dead too) ran out of money in CA and had to pan handle her way home (She has another child who is 6) and is now living with "friends" who are on drugs and her mom is probably on Cocaine. She learned all this from staying in touch with her brothers father......BM's ex, and she is freaking out. Understandably. No teenager should have to write their mom a letter about how they are being irresponsible.

BF3 and his counselling RE: increased access to SS(Longish)

Well what an interesting adventure this has been......
Session one and two are individual sessions at separate times session three and four BM and BF3 together.
Due to BF3 having his tonsils out 5 days before his first session he asked if I could attend which was sweet but the rest BM has asked that I not be allowed to attend. Apparently because this has nothing to do with me.......

About to deal with a situation

Does anyone know how this works? If a child at 13 yrs of age wants to move with BM or BD and you don't want them to then what do you do? I live in Texas and have no idea how to deal with this. BD tells me her biodad says she can choose when she's 13 and SS(13 in 4 months) and SD want to move to their BMs. DH and I both say no. My reason for no with my kids is because I don't want another woman raising my kids. They are mine and my exs. Ex works outrageous hours and kids would be left with Stepmom majority of the time. I don't feel that she should be raising my kids.

OT - how did you pick your own screen name?

We all have our faves for Skiddles or DH or the most names I've seen flown around and contested are for all the ex's in our lives...BUT how did you all come to pick out your own name? When I was (a lot) younger, I was much thinner and a very good friend of mine used to call me "Stick" and that's how I picked! Just something different and light...

My BSon is acting out.

My B-son has been in the past a hard child to handle. However, when I married my current husband his S-dad, he (after a a few months of talking and discipline) seemed to straighten up. I told him how proud I was that he was taking responsibility for his actions and how his behavior, when good, has good results. He seemed to understand. He was happy and was doing better in school. This continued for 3 to 4 months. We made sure to continue to praise his efforts and when he slipped, let him know we all make mistakes and not to let one thing destroy what he had worked so hard for.

URGENT- What does anyone know about IEP's? I'm in OH

BM just called DH asking for our address

SS hasn't been in daycare consistently for over 2 years
He is very delayed in his speech

DH said- "I know you are not trying to send him to school this year" "he's not ready" [He will be 5 in August]

She informed DH that she's not sending him to school, but to daycare and they have a speech therapist and an IEP program-

I have never heard of this program being offered in a daycare, has anyone else?
