BM is the custodial parent, with DH having SS every other weekend. If BM sends SS to stay with his Nanna about 3 nights a week (minimum), is that being neglectful? SS would say he absolutely LOVES being at Nanna's. But DH would like to have SS over HERE if he is not with BM.
SS would rather be at Nanna's than anywhere else. It's like Disneyland for him. And quite frankly, I swear that his Nanna secretly thinks she is his birth mother.
So here I go... this is my first official "blog". I am a newbie to this site and am here because I am at my wits end and don't know where else to turn. I feel like most people I talk to have no idea what I am going through and are quickly dismissive, or they just get tired of listening as I imagine it gets old quickly.
A quick follow up to my last blog and to reply to SM#1...even though we've had SD12 full-time for the last four months and another four months, we still pay child support! It irks me every time I submit payment because I know where the money is going...hair appointments, pedicures, etc. My H won't go to court for full custody because he is earning much more money than he did at the time of the divorce (10 years ago). I know we would win now, but if BM came back in a year or two wanting custody again, we would get hammered on the child support.
My bff called with a small computer related emergency today-so I went over there this evening, to see if I could get her going with what she needed. She's so sweet-but totally computer illiterate. I don't pretend to be an expert, but with years of working on the darn things, I can get around on them pretty good.
So, DH and I are going to Louisiana for Xmas. Aside - kill me now, it's going to be MIL, SD12, DH's brother and his wife, all four of his sisters and their husbands/fiance and us.... Why did I sign up for this? Luckily, most are not staying at MIL's.
We're going to be picking up SD12 on the way, this coming Sunday, and dropping her off the following Saturday. This has been in the works for well over a month. DH gave BM the rough timeline at least two months ago. DH told SD the idea after it had been okayed. Everything is hunky-dory.
I don't even know where to start and will probably jump around alot.My FH and I have been together for only 1 1/2yrs and I adore him, it seems like a cruel twist of fate to have our lives turned upside down by two, for lack of a better word, BRATS!.I have 2 future SS 7 & 10 and a BD 12. 7yr old throws fits like a 2yr old and gets away with it and 10 yr old is constantly in trouble from school, during summer camp and when with babysitter(who is the sweetest lady BTW).
Good.
Now she won't even return DH's phone calls when we are trying to get ahold of her for something substantial.
Good.
The girls left half their stuff at their mom's this weekend(as usual) and we of course needed to go pick it up (as usual)and her house was all locked up.
Good.
My FH or should I say future exfiance is the biggest liar, god ever put breath in..I swear to god this man couldnt tell the truth if his a$$ was on fire and I had a bucket of water to put him out, but the glitch being he would have to tell me the truth about something he would rather burn to death..So today I catch him up in two different lies..The first one I check the bank account which I dont often do bc well I have this thing called trust that I no longer have.
To update, BM's BF asked her and the 2 skids to move out of his house after 5 years. Well, it has started, and we knew it would. She is already asking BF for more money. He had to give her 13% of his XMAS bonus. In the past it was 19%, but one kid is over 18 now and no more CS. So she asked him for the other 6% of his bonus to help with oldest daughter's books in 2nd year of college, and clothes are so expensive, and his CS doesn't even cover the private school which the 14 year old is flunking out of, etc. etc. This woman is so manipulative.
I am new to posting on this website. I have been lurking around for a couple weeks now. Finally, decided to join you all. I fit right in with the crazy BM drama. It is just outrageous.
Well, a little about my situation. I had been dating H for about 3 years, and have been involved with his daughter for over 2. She (SD5) has been coming to my home - involved in activities with me and my daughter (BD13) for a couple years now. But we never met the BM.
