BM has decided on her own that my SS11 must choose only one sport for the year. So even though he has mad 5 baseball all star teams he has chosen not to play baseball this year. Fine we said ok. Then 3 weeks ago after his city league basketball team (this league is a joke but literally the only game in town) my SS11 tells me and BF that he wants to play AAU basketball.
Well, DH informed me that at the end of Feb he'll be gone for 5 days (he's a pilot) on a trip. Of course, the skids will be here all of those days. I don't think he really gets how difficult it is to manage the BD9mo plus SD11 and SS9 alone. I'm already cringing....Boy Scouts, 4H, blah blah. He gets all sulky with me when I tell him I'm not thrilled with this. I explained to him that when he's gone for long stretches its like I'm a single parent. He looks at me dumbfounded as to why I'd be mad.
Well, the lawyer screwed up, and the Marshall already has the papers, and will be serving the BM any time now!!!
I just downloaded the papers, and it has a "return date" of 2/24. Is this our court date?
I see later it says:
"To respond to this summons, or to be informed of further proceedings, you or your attorney must file a form called an "Appearance" with the Clerk of the above named Court at the above court address on or before the second day after the above return date"
I saw an old post and since there are new people-thought it might be fun.
I got my name from an old TV show in the sixties-Endora was actually a very determined Mother-In-Law!
I moved into my own home with my DS9 Jan 15th. Recall, while I was living with DH he didn't want me to know anything about his financial situation nor did he want my financial help. He wouldn't discuss anything with me. DH hasn't lost his job but he may not work for weeks at a time with no pay so finances are tightening up for him.
My BF's oldest(SS7) is currently going through his first communion with his school. Through this there has been one church gathering so far and a big "to do" one in May. (I am not Catholic so do not really understand these but nonetheless support skid in doing what he has to do). The past one in November I was not invited to go to, BF doesn't think I should attend any function related to the children until his divorce is final. He told me that BM, the 2 kids, himself, her parents and his parents all sat together during this church gathering.
Thanks for all the responses about school. I've decided to finish this course, at least. Because it is a prereq for ANYTHING available (school wise) in the medical field. That's not to say I can get thru the 2 year course beginning in the fall. Am calling about financial aide today, just to check the lay of the land.
But, have you ever heard of this? Remember, H SWORE to me he had his finances in order before we married?
Then we had the fight because I would put his 7 years worth of past due taxes on HIS house on MY credit card?
Would you be upset if your guy didn't tell you about a parent-teacher conference and you had to learn about it from the skids? The skids told me about it last night during dinner. It was a crappy evening anyways because they hurried home from (you guessed it) hockey. I had to whip up dinner (nobody told me they were coming) which they only picked at, then fh took them to religion...leaving me with the dishes, cleanup, etc...and off to work he went. I saw him for like 10 minutes. So I was to say a bit salty.lol
DH is in a band (recreational, not his full time job-they do the local bar circuit)-he had practice last night. SS16 has a project due Friday-DH asked SS to work on his project while DH was at practice-I am home.
DH is getting ready to go-SS16 is downstairs playing video games-I say to DH
"You know what is going to happen, right?"
DH goes back downstairs -comes up huffing and puffing a few minutes later-mumbles to me
"Let him fall"
and walks out.
I am sitting there thinking WTF??
I call DH-and calmly say
Well sd opened mouth and inserted foot again. MIL sent her home today because sd insulted her. I can't believe how thoughtless and mean she can be to her own grandmother. She had MIL in tears. 
One thing we have in common is what she calls arts and crafts. I've been teaching her how to quilt and we both love to knit and crochet. I told her that later I would teach her needlework. Since we moved to TN I have helped (taught) her how to can and make jelly.
