I'm puzzled-why is knocking at the door such an issue?

bewitched's picture

For those who read my email to SD17, one of the things I told her was she can knock when she comes over. Because of several reasons.

1) She hit the door screaming last time she came

2) My bedroom is right off the living room-no hall. I could've been in there changing clothes or something-it has an arched doorway, so no door between the bedroom and living room.

3) She does not live here.

4) She usually has her bf w/her when she comes over.

Thank You!

I want to thank all of you for your words of encouragement!!! I had started to feel like maybe I was over reacting b/c of DH's attitude. I had even felt guilty about calling the FBI, thinking maybe I was just going to make a volatile situation even worse.

Our BKs

After all the blogs I've read on here about the bio kids getting the shaft because of high cs for SKs or SKs getting the "poor you" treatment, I feel really bad for dad's kids with the 2nd wife! And this is odd to me because I am the child of my dad & mom's first marriage...they divorced and I am the one that felt like I got the shaft because I didn't have my parents together, I was always missing out on some family thing with one side while I was visiting with the other side.

BF is driving me nuts!!

Little help here. My Bf is driving me crazy. He has a drinking problem - yes problem - he drinks at least 4 24 packs of cheap beer every week. I keep some wine coolers around the house for me but a six pack of those lasts me several months and if BF runs out of beer after the store closes he will drinks my wine coolers instead of just stopping drinking. I was married to an alcholic so I know that the problem. BUT I divorced my EH so that took care of my issues with him for the most part.

Hygiene Issues...

Yeah, I just did blog entry, I know. It's a two-for-one morning today! This is sort of jumping off from my other entry because many of the issues SD8 gives me back talk on are related to hygiene. From reading posts from others on here, this seems to be pretty normal. And I, too, finally get to the point where I think, "You know what? Fine, be the stinky, dirty kid! See if I care. I'm not your mother!".

Why Do We Act Lke The Ex's Booboo Don't STINK?????

MikeBrady's picture

Okay, so I've been lurking around for a while now trying to see if there is anything written here that will help me along the way with my relationship with my DW and Skids. Well after looking at so many blogs, I have come to the realization that we all have one common thread that begs the following question..........

WHY DO WE ACT LIKE THE EX'S BOOBOO DON'T STINK? WHY DO WE GIVE THE EX SO MUCH POWER OVER OUR EMOTIONS????

NEED ADVICE

Lulubelle's picture

I am a SM of 3 children. (SD16, SD13, SS10)My husband and I have sole custody and the BM has visitation rights. My husband has made a decent living the last few years so we have not made a big deal about not receiving child support from the BM. My husband was laid off in January and since then I have asked the BM to help out with expenses such as: drivers training costs, sports fees, and clothes. She just ignores my requests. BM is currently several thousand dollars in arrearages.

Can you say PAS?!?!

OK, I have to rant this morning because this has been a rough week! All week, SD8 has been rather short & defiant with me. Funny that I'm saying "defiant" since that's one of the words BM used to describe SD8 in her affidavit when she was trying to get full custody. Anyway...SD8 has always been stubborn & somewhat defiant...that's a given with this kid. But this week seems especially bad.
