So I have been working at this super crappy job for about 2 months now and desperately looking for something else. The hours are crappy (too few), the pay is ridiculus (my son makes a buck less an hour than me) and the kicker - the boss has temper tantrums almost every week. I mean full blown crazy fits - screaming swear words and once throwing stuff. I have sent out at least 200 resumes since I lost my super awesome job back in mid-November and went on a few interviews with no luck.
if BM grounded SS11 for not taking his ADHD medication?
SS11 takes medication for BM's self diagnosis when he was 8 of ADHD. DH has joint custody and sees him every Tuesday. (the other 2 are with him) Whenever SS11 is dropped off and really hungry before we eat dinner we know that he hasn't had his "pill".
DH called BM about it and she said she didn't know if he took it or not she left it on the counter. She does go to work before the bus and there are 3 other adults in the house. DH is always making sure that he takes it on the mornings he is with him.
I have the kiddos from the 5th all the way thru the 17th-it is so nice knowing they will be well fed, well taken care of and I won't have to see BM for like 12 days-woohoo! It' slike a party without her interrupting and the boys seem so much mre at easy when they haven't had to spend a weekend with her. The Oldest SS17 just got his drivers license yesterday and the second oldest SS16 just got his permit last week. OMG! Scary. But now, thank the good Lord, the oldest is talking about getting a job and going to college-I am so excited for him. Life is good!
DH was supposed to come home from work at 2pm and help me move our computer out of BS1's room and into our bedroom. I really need this done ASAP b/c about 2 weeks ago I started medical transcription school online. I work full time as well, and it is really hard to get anything done with the computer in the baby's room (i.e. he naps for hours at a time --right when I should be studying, but I can't get to the computer!!).
At therapy today (he has to go 3 days a week) H started whining that he wished we could have had a baby together. Dr. asks me how I felt and I told the truth. There is no way I would have a child with H. I figured that the best way to tell him this was while we were in session. Dr. wants to know why I feel this way. I tell him that H is too controlling as it is and would be worse if I were ever to have gotten pregnant. H had already said that if this had happened he would monitor everything I did, everything I ate, take total control of my life. How crazy is that?
Why is it every time I am the one who does all the work to help their child get what she needs and they get all the credit for something they didn't do.
So why do many of us tend to get and stay frustrated about elements of our partners lives that happened before we ever met?
My wife will periodically express regret about her history and past with my SS's BioDad and dwell on it for several days. She dredges up and dwells on this stuff. I don't.
My perspective is that her past is pre-me and it does not bother me. Those experiences are part of what make her the amazing woman that I am so infatuated with.
I just went back to work this week and my daycare provider/friend of 2 years has been getting upset because i haven't been able to tell her if i will be full time or part time as i don't know my schedule yet (still in training). This is just a little backstory. So i went to her house this evening to clarify some things and we are talking and getting on the same page just fine, when her husband who also considers himself my friend walks in from the next room (where he was eves dropping).
So tonight I sat down with DW and told her about the photos on the SDs phone. What I was worried about was basically what happened.
DW wanted to talk about why I looked without telling her before hand. I told her I spoke with my counselor today and said I was worried it would become this conversation, that DW would avoid the serious issue and focus on what she perceives I did wrong. Saddly I was right. DW got a bit defensive.
DW: Why did you think that?
MS: Well, I was right.
DW: But WHY?
I am really angry. DH had a dr appt this am leaving me home alone with sd3 and bs1. This is not the first time he's had an appt or had to go to work and I have watched sd3 and bs1. So it's wierd as to where this is coming from. Anyway he calls me on his way home from the appt and tells me that I better be making sure sd3 has been using the toilet (we are training her). This is odd to me because I am the ONLY one even when he is here that makes sure she goes.
