BF and I had it out a bit last night. He called me out on being emotionally distant and point blank asked me if I wanted to be here anymore. I had to say I didn't know. I am very upset with him over a number of things, and my respect and opinion of him in general is way down. That being said, I think back to all the times he has supported and cared for me, been there for me, and my heart wants to break. I just don't know. The idea of leaving and moving back to my home area is so scary to me.
Is it appropriate for a 12 year old girl to "snuggle" in bed with her father still?
My gut screams no.
I hate it.
First off, I hate when the skids are in my bed. I don't go and hang out in their beds so get out of mine,
Secondly, my sd12 has weird associations with her father that sometimes make me want to vomit. She still tries to sit on his lap and starts hanging all over him when I am around.
So DH knows how I feel about the kids being in our bed and our bedroom as a playroom...
I have been fairly busy the past few months , settling into the new posting locality, and fighting the CSA agency . Hubby lost the objections. of course.
And they garnished his wages for cs a fortnight which leaves us very short on our budget.
I used to be a very active steptalker, but now it's been a year or so since I've posted so I'm sure most of you don't know my story. I'm feeling so hopeless tonight that I feel compelled to write.
BF has known for two weeks that I was going to be out of town all day tomorrow (Saturday), yet he continued to make commitments even though he will also have both kids (SS and BD). At first I reminded him that I wouldn't be there to watch the kids, and he shrugged me off. So I decided alright buddy, you think you can handle it, fine. Well, it turns out he was counting on his mother coming in for the weekend like she usually does when SS comes to visit. So tonight when she called to let him know she wouldn't be coming because she was sick, he freaked out and called me.
Well things with the BM and skids are calm right now, but DH has a hissy the moment I make a suggestion on how to improve financial issues.
Can time ever be just calm on both sides?!?!
Hola! Ferretmom has me (and many of us!!) in "garden" mode now, and I have a question about crape myrtles (obviously...)
I live in PA, and they are not NATIVE here, but they CAN grow here. I purchased two very hearty ones, Dynamites (bright reds).
All winter I kept them inside, they BLOOMED a bit early in February, but now seem to be reblooming.
So we are in the midst of the custody eval and BM is being super nice and cooperative.
Ex: BF emailed BM to cancel a parenting time at his parents house because his mother was ill. BM emailed back asking BF to give is mother the best from her and FSS1.
Ex: BF sent BM info on cheaper health insurance for FSS1 and she actually picked one!
I'd like to invite everyone to celebrate Earth Day next week. I'm putting in a butterfly/hummingbird garden. Remember every little bit counts. 
Well my DH and I went to his lawyer yesterday and if you do not already know it has taken 3 years but my DH has placement of his son and BM sees him wed. and EOW, before that it was split placement and split custody, SS would go back and forth every 3 days, but after the 9th childcare move and BM telling her son he hates me and he would come to our house and cry that his mom hates me, we finally won placement!!!
