BioDad and SpermGrandMa suddenly have developed a keen interest in grilling the Skid to make sure that HE is doing what HE wants

Rags's picture

These people have never given a flying rats ass about anything but how to avoid responsibility for my SS and how to use the Visitation/CS CO to manipulate my Wife.

Now, all of a sudden, they are keenly interested in making sure that SS WANTS to go to JROTC Leadership Camp and that Mom and SDad are not forcing him to go?????????????

Update from last night

He doesn't remember ANYTHING from last night!!!!!

He's given me all the "sorry, it will never happen again" blah blah blah

I chewed him out for probably 30 minutes and so did his mother, but I've come to the conclusion that he won't be changing. I have plans for this weekend and the last week of the month!

I'm praying tomorrow I find out that I have a job.

BM stopped over yesterday unannounced (long)

Stick's picture

We have set up a loose visitation schedule with BM over here. Basically every Friday, she gets to see her daughter, at least for a few hours. Every other Friday, SD stays overnight at her mom's house. We picked Fridays over the Summer so that it doesn't become an every Thursday and every other Friday or Saturday overnight and trying to juggle all of those days. It's not perfect... SD has a birthday party sleepover this Friday night when she should be spending time with her BM, but BM is going to come over Thursday for a little while and Friday before SD goes over to the party.

I swear I'm going to divorce this man!

Ugh the nerve of DH, I tried to have a conversation with him in regards to my working part-time and staying home with our son when he is born.

I explained to him that I didn't want our son spending the majority of his time at daycare and that with him being my first child that I wanted to be there to raise him. I even gave him options on how we could cut back so I could work part-time.

DH has decided that I am the problem VENT ...long

DH and I have had two weeks of nonstop tension and fighting. It has seriously made me question our relationship for the first time in three years. The major source of our tension is...you guessed it..the skids. They are off of school and enrolled in every single activity under the sun. DH has been working crazy hours the last two weeks (think 70 hour work weeks, gone for two or three days at a time)...this leaves me to take care of our 1yr old AND be the chauffer,cook, entertainment committee etc for the skids (they are with us 50/50).

Question for all the sport-familes(hockey, soccer, baseball, etc)

What is normal? Do step and bio parents attend sport functions (i.e. planning party at coach’s house)???
I just don’t know how this all works. The skids hockey coach is planning a party-thing at his house the 28th. It’s so all the new parents can meet the old and kind of lay out a guide for the coming season.
I’m upset because bm will be there…and to say we don’t get along is a vast understatement… My dilemma is how do I handle this “correctly”? So I'm asking you all...the Miss Manners of Step Parenting. lol

Went to court with BM for summer visitation

jal0318's picture

BM took DH to court to have a temporary order for THIS summer. She did not agree to us having SS5 for 30 days consecutively and only one weekend for her. BM proposed that DH have 3 differnet summer periods with SS. DH said no... Then BM wanted us to have SS5 for 2wks then go to her for 2wks and then come back to us for 2wks... DH again said no... We proposed we have 15days and she have him one wk then we have the following 15days. It took her forever and for her attorney to knock some sense into her and she agreed to that... we basically gave her 3 more days during her weekend...

FH isn't guilt parenting..he's just LAZY

That is the truth..it hit me last night. SS got in trouble at babysitter Friday..so as soon as I picked him up I brought him to FH's job. FH told him - straight to your room, no tv, no toys..we go home..SS goes to room..but than we left to meet FH for dinner..after dinner I had to pick up BD from her frien'ds house. I come home about 930pm..FH is outside with neighbor drinking a beer and SS is running around in yard playing! WTF! I should've handled it better..but I shot out of my mouth - WHY is he outside playing , he's on punishment????? Fh just blew it off.

Graduation Day has Come and Gone! Does This mean The End Is Near?

livingonaslipperyslope's picture

Sd23's college graduation was last Saturday.The whole day and night was a circus and a slap in the face to me as I was not invited to the ceremony or the party that was paid for by my FH. Of course he did ask me to go to the party about 15 minutes before he was leaving, but I politely declined as I wasn't invited. He said I am inviting you, and I say it's not your party you are just paying. Needless to say he told me he did not want to be at the party and would only be there about an hour and then we would go to dinner and a movie.
