The next person who tells me "you knew what you were getting into" is going to get the nastiest soap I can find shoved in their mouth!
DH's family and ex are THE MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL group of people I have EVER met, and I've been a social worker for 5 years! You won't believe yesterday's turn of events with BM!
OK, yesterday I leave the doctor's office and drag myself to the drugstore. (I'm beginning to think the stress from DH and his husband is causing all of this!)
Then I'll be charging both DH and BM for daycare (if it's legal). Well I've had some time to calm down since my last post when the GAL essentially stated that BM should be entitled to the skids always on her days off since I was available to watch the skids "anytime" that DH was gone for work. I've decided to channel my anger into a positive. I wrote our attorney an email immediately pointing out that under this assumption BM and SD were entitled to a dual income family while DH and I were not.
can send my way! I want this job, need this job so badly.
So that's the good news.
But of course H called this morning....to tell me the IRS has garnished 75% of his paycheck. And now I'm getting the oh, baby, I'm so sorry. Oh baby you don't deserve this. Oh baby are you going to divorce me. Oh baby, I got so upset over this I threw up this morning.
I hope-for 10 glorious days!!! Zippy16 is off to Europe-This being Friday the 13th I hope his flights are on time etc. and he does not end up schlumping back in the house (my luck!). 
Please pray for me that Zippy gets off on his trip on time!
I was reading another blog about problems with table manners. So here is my problem. My oldest bd (11) has horrible problem eating with her fork, she uses her fingers most of the time and she will put her food on her fork with her fingers and then eat it off the fork, she also eats with her mouth open alot of the time. We have worked with her since she was little at home and at families house. She is developmentally delayed and we are going to have her tested for autism too.
I love my boys....but there are so many of them and so few of me! I have a bio 12 y/o son and three step-sons (11,16,17 1/2. First off, they eat about $2000 a month in food-holey moley! The mother of the three has a great job, but has to be forced to pitch in when we need help. We have the boys five days aweek, so in my book, she's lucky I don't sue for child support! Anyhoot, all of my boys are great kids (thank God), but the oldest is 17 1/2 going on 35 and knows absolutely everything.
The ship will be back in port Sat and I was planning on staying a week in Charleston. But I changed my mind and will be flying to CO to spend a week with my grandkids. Sat is the girls' third birthday and I can't think of a better way to end my vacation. My lawyer is taking care of the IRS problem and is looking into ways to take care of the rest of my problems. I've missed you all and will tell all about my trip later if anyone is interested.
Hugs and Kisses
We'll my husband and I are scheduled to go to court for a child support hearing in late APril. Does anyone know if we can get the court date later in May. Also has anyone heard of deviating the ruling?
My story:
I want to leave ..I really do but If I have to pay CS(which would not be fair imo) I'd rather try to stay for the remainder of time.
i know when i "adopted" them it makes me partially responsible.
But at the time things were different and i was told I'd be treated as their mother but I am not i am treated like a babysitter.
I have no say in anything and every day gets harder for me to stick it out.
My DH and the ex have a court order that states that any dental or medical expenses not covered by insurance be shared 60/40, with him paying the 60%. The parent who owes the other, has 30 days to pay in full from the date the receipt is provided for reimbursement. This order has been in effect for a little over a year. The first instance, she did not pay us within 30 days but when asked about our payment she said for DH to just to deduct it from the next child support payment which DH did, and made a notation of it on the memo line of the check.
