Thank you ladies for your wonderful feedback on my previous post about my court date with my BS12's biodad. For those of you who have never bored yourself with my little personal tale of woe...see my blog post named "My poor little buddy..."
So, I'm hoping for MORE feedback. I never attended DH's mediation and never had to go thru mediation before.
I received a letter in the mail from the Office of Dispute Resolution (Mediation Office) and it stated what MamaSita suggested that I do anyways. Spell out my issues and what I want resolved.
DH and I have been married only for 5 months...we dated a year b4 that. He has 2 kids and I have 2 kids, we have 50/50 of both...just giving background. I have a best friend whom I have known for 8 years and many friends from where I used to work for last 8 years (we were like a family at my old job, which I left the week after I got married, coincidentally, left for more $$)...these people are my main group of friends and support aside from my family.
I tried to let FH handle the issue with his BS concerning the living arrangements.
but when FH told me yesterday he talked to BS and when BS asked if he had anything he needed to do FH told him that there was nothing(WTF)
so that left FSS the ability to go and just f'k off and not worry about stuff that needs to be done at home.
We have not been to court yet with our BM about getting 50/50 time, but I saw in a post to Nymph about her SS talking to a GAL and I have heard others hear mention GAL. So what is a GAL?
Yeah so I thought I just had nothing left foe BM- didn't care enough to hate her- I was soo wrong!@!
Today I took SD to psych. app. and discussed some of my concerns also- well it's funny cause all of my concerns were validated
So I don't understand why when a mother gives up her children to live with thier father because she couldn't deal with them anymore; does she think after a few years, when they are well mannered and behaved, she can have them back? Does it work that way?? She no only brings up 50/50 all the time but she buys their love and make them feel guilty. Does that sound like someone who is looking in the best interest of her children. The older son has told us he doesn't want to go back to live with her, yet he tells her otherwise.
Well BM decided she was leaving the program she was in and took all the kids with her to some guys trailer (she meet him in rehab). Well that of course means that she doesn't get SS for the summer. It was only as long as she was in the program that she got SS for the summer.
DH just left to pick-up SS and I'm looking for daycares for SS this summer - they are pricey because we are already part way through the summer. Damn BM doesn't pay child support and makes us pay extra because she can't stop sleeping around and putting her physical needs before her kids.
I know that as I step parent I tried really really hard to keep the peace. After a few initial bumps, things went smoothly. I was just wondering how many here are on amicable terms with the spouses ex, or even not necessarily amicable terms....even just peaceful.
well I have to report that the honeymoon phase of FSS moving in has ended.
it was a nice 10 days, however brief they were
a little background, FSS (who just moved in with me and BF)has a girlfriend who is very needy and very selfish very controlling well she went on vacation with her mom- guess for how long...
you guessed it 10 days!! I am figuring FSS was bored and wanted to keep the peace so he maintained an appearance of normality until girlfriend came home.
my FH just had the final wrap up to the custody bs thats been going on w SD. he had some issues w the parenting plan thats in place, but naturally the judge didnt care. anyway, what struck me is odd was the CS calculation. they have daycare included as part of the calculation, added on top of the normal monthly payment, which is fine for now but she wont be in daycare for much longer. so FH brought that up and said why is daycare included until the age of 18 when she wont be going that whole time? the GAL said that bc BM has to work and cant be home w her, she will need a babysitter.
