I feel so sorry for my BF's poor nephews. Their father is truly clueless and gives a bad image to fathers everywhere. He is a parent of convenience, and on visitations his two sons spend more time with their grandmother (my MIL) than they do with BIL. [I call them MIL and BIL even though BF and I are not married because it's easier.] Some weekends MIL will have the children all weekend long and they won't see their dad at all.
Are you home from Hawaii? How was the trip??
There's 2 versions of the Kevin the Man post on the site, each with different responses. I think because one is a blog, and one is forum. Just fyi... so that everyone can see all the responses... I answered each... One I answered directly to Kevin the Man... and one I commented on to Rags... I've never seen this happen on a blog before. Has anyone else??
Hey everyone I wanted to drop a line to let you all know I am still alive and doing good. BM actually took her week of custody this past week so It has been a very nice week with my DH and my bio-son. The steppkids come back on Monday and of course DH nor BM found any type of summer childcare. For the past three years I am the one we found summer childcare for their kids - not this year, just like I said, I am staying true to my word and DH and BM are not using me to provide for their kids anymore. I am sure he will leave them home all day alone (SD13 and SS10).
BM will not accept that my husband wants to go to court. After 6 months of jumping through hoops, 3 sessions of mediation & my husband getting ready to agree to BM having SD8 full-time to avoid going to court, BM just couldn't stop pushing for total control of everything. She's been emailing him almost daily - mostly for nonsense reasons, sometimes to threaten him when she doesn't get everything she wants, sometimes to rub his face in the fact that she is about to have SD8 full-time.
In a now deleted thread asking if a custody or visitation can be stopped due to a person be a poor parent it was asked if teachers, school officials and other impeccable witnesses condemn the individual as a poor parent. In my research and direct experience it takes a truly incredible chain of events and heinous behavior by a parent to take custody or visitation away. To the detriment of the child. IMHO.
The answer is often yes, it is extremely difficult to take custody or visitation even from a truly bad parent.
Yes, excuse the bad English up there... but the guys did get me thinking. I have no brothers. I have 2 older sisters that put me in my place whenever and however I need it and it's not always gentle. My mom and dad never treated us as strictly "girls" - we had no real gender rules in playing or working. If we wanted to do something we were encouraged to do it. People say I remind them of Sheryl Crow - a kind of "rock chick" type of girl, which also fits in to what I do for a living. Not too girly, but not Chastity Bono either!
Having trouble with all the abbreviations. think I have most of them figured out but can't get OT.
Its been a while since I posted and we got the custody eval report today and met with BF's attorney. Court is next week. No surprise the report shows BM in a glowing and wonderful light and BF as inadequate and clueless regarding the care of FSS1. The good news is the report recommends more time for BF and that BM do equal time in transporting FSS1. Currently BF does like 75% of the driving.
