HOW do you disengage part-time??

Is it even possible? As alot already know I am with SS5 more than his own father. BM is NOwhere to be found..he doesn't even know who she is. My FH works 9am-9pm except Thursdays and Sundays are his days off. So from 5-9pm during the week and ALL day Saturday I care for SS as my own.

When he is in my care I take care of him and discipline him as I feel fit. (I've never done more than send him into time out though). Even putting him to bed early I called FH and asked his permission...

So let's see what it will be when the next visit comes up.....

I usually cook for my kids and husband about 5 - 6 nights a week. By kids I mean my 13bd and 6sd (when she visits). SD likes to help me cook and I enjoy her helping as well.

Well, I guess she was telling her mom (BM) what we were doing and now everytime i turn around SD is telling me how she is allergic to all these different foods now. AND will not eat them at all anymore.

AND the list now is something like this: milk, wheat, eggs, soy, fish, latex, soap, grass, dust, baking soda, etc....

Got our first CS check from BM (after almost a year!)

Coincidentally it arrived a week after DH contacted our county agency for enforcement. BM is currently over 6month in arrears, and had not paid a dime since being court ordered back in Feb. So DH contacted the CS agency and requested enforcement for the CS owed us. It's not a lot of money, but hey.... it is the point after all. So literally one business week later the first payment magically appears. The irony in this whole situation is that when BM and DH split up DH was making ALOT more $$$. (As they have 50/50, he paid her CS).

Ugh food issues with SS and BM is not helping

So we've got SS 10 full-time and we've been having issues with him eating everything insight when he gets home from school. He's only home for about 1 hour until either I or his dad get home but he'll eat everything, e.g. a whole loaf of bread with peanut butter, all the chocolate milk (gallon).

Getting REALLY irritated with MIL...

So MIL is on facebook. So is BM. So am I. Facebook tells everyone that can see your page everything you do...I hate BM knowing anything about our life. So I can delete MIL from my friends list, which will probably piss her off...but that still doesn't stop her from posting tons of our pics on her page! She's got many many pics of me, my sons, my DH...all right there for BM to see. I have my myspace set to private so that people I don't know or like cannot see my pics...but there MIL is posting them all!! Do I have to simply stop giving her any pics of us?

Damn it damn it damn it-quit testing me!!!!!!!

I have had about all the BM I can stand for one weekend. So you alll read the last blogabut being tested. Well aparently I wasn't out of the woods yet. Bm is supposed to bring the kids home at 7:30 tonight, so at 5 I get a text from her asking me if SS17 is here! This is like the tenth time she has asked me where HER kid was on HER days? WTF? So I didn't even answer cause she's a moron and I don't want to talk to her. Plus she was still on my asshole list for giving me and my folks dirty looks yesterday. So what does she do- she come over to my house!

MIL told me something that made me smile!

When we left MIL's house yesterday, she gave me a hug and told me she loved me. Today, her and I were in the car together and she said, "Nymh, when I told you I love you yesterday that came from my heart. Do you think I ever hugged BM or told her I loved her?"

I said, "I don't know, did you?"

"HELL NO."

That just made me so happy Biggrin

OT- a little - there is no denying it

H and I are from 2 different worlds and we want vastly different lifestyles.

I am talking about everything -- how to parent children, where to live, how to make good investments. You name it, and we are polar opposites.

I love him so much, but as I told him today maybe we are just figuring out after 6 years that we are too different to peacefully co-exist.
