I'm not only one that feels SS is "not normal for his age"

kaffonseca's picture

I hate to say that word "normal" because who really defines normal..but I couldn't think of a better description..so please don't bash me for using that. I love my SS and because of that I want him to be at his age level. He does not have any type of IQ or mental disability..he is actually a VERY smart little boy..but he has just been babied all his life...and I'm not the only one that has noticed it..in fact EVERYONE notices it.

How do I NOT let her get to me?? vent.

Sooo frustrated...how can I NOT let her get to me..EVERYONe says..don't let her get to you..she does it out of jealousy and to get under your skin..which she does get under my skin. I'm the type of person though that I don't take being disrespected lightly..I've tried SOOO many times to talk to this girl and be "cool" with her even to the point that I've agreed with her on some aspects of my FH doing things wrong. I told this girl I would help her get into college as she had no clue.

BM's email to DH on his concept of parenting.....

BM sent DH an email this weekend (actually Thursday & Friday) stating sd(6) has been invited to a birthday party of one of her dance teammates. It is on the Friday of his visitation. AND she followed up by telling sd to ask her father to give up "his weekend" so she could attend this birthday party.

Wellness Check?

BM has recently moved in with her boyfriend and his parents. This is an uncomfortable situation for FH and me because we have not met these people nor do we know what the living situation is. We have been told that we are not welcome at the house so I was wondering if there is anyway that we could get CPS to go over there and make a report on it. I have heard about wellness checks but do not know how they work. If anyone has any advise that would be great. Also, SD has been telling day care that she doesn't want to go home with BM in fact, she said she would say with day care instead.

What parent does this??

Okay...last week we had an issue with the BM(suprise suprise) We have 50/50 custody of my two SD's 11 & 13 so during the week tuesdays and wednesdays are our days to have the girls. I haven't written alot of posts so many of you may not be familiar with my situation. I've lived with DH for almost six years-and all during that time have acted as a stepmom to the girls-we've been married for almost 3 yrs.

The more I think about egg donors...

I read a post to a blog entry that I put up last night when I was frustrated and when I was scared that this ridiculous BM was trying YET AGAIN to make my life miserable and take away the one thing in my life that brings me peace, happiness, and yes joy!

At first I apologized for offending this woman but the more I think about it the more I want to change my response to this...

How young is too young

How young is too young to shave your legs? Seriously, I can't remember back that far. SD just turned 10 y/o and she she said that her mom let her shave her legs. All I said was really? you are too young to shave your legs! SD can't even cut her pancakes or any meat and her mom is actually giving her a razor to use on her body. I was in such sock I didn't even ask the important questions like did she teach you HOW to do it or just hand you a razor and figure it out? (which is what probably happened) I went and asked H if she had told him and she just had.

What I found out from my SD

Yesterday was a girls' day out for me and my BD9 and SD9. We saw a movie, went to Steak and Shake, and did a little summer clothes shopping. We had a great day. Well, as we were eating my SD told me that every Friday (we share 50/50 custody w/ BM) when the Skids go back to their mom's house, she sits them down in a chair and debriefs them. As they are sitting there, she will ask them questions and types it all down into the computer. What's funny is the worst thing my SD can think to tell her mother that we do is that [gasp] . . . we make her do chores!!!

Sister in law and ex wife from hell.

Janey1970's picture

My dh's younger sister is organizing a 50th birthday party for another of their siblings. She has taken it upon herself to invite my dh's dysfunctional ex wife (who for the record is living with a convicted sex offender) and who we most definitely do not want to see and certainly not at a family gathering.
