All,
Some of you will be disappointed and some won't mind.
Regardless of which side of the the fence you fall, thanks for the support and for the opposing perspectives on my posts and responses.
I will continue to pan and participate because I feel this is a valuable forum focusing on a very important topic.
I remain a staunch advocate of teaching kids the importance of accountability and respect. Anything else is a disservice to the kids.
All IMHO of course.
Best regards,
I know some...ok....most of you all will be mad at me for saying this, but tearing rags apart(pardon the pun) needs to stop. He's new here, and was responding to some other posts, and was giving his opinion, imput, and some things that worked for him and his SS(i don't understand the confusion about him being a he or she, it's in his posts what he is!!!) I really thought that we all were going to read responsis, and take from them what we want, or need that is helpful to our situation, and not respond, or ignore to what we don't like or agree with.
How can BM be broke when she bought a brand new honda last October and traded it for a Jaguar within the last week? She pays the mortgage of about $1400 on the marital home but lives in a townhouse with her new man that costs over 2 grand a month just for rent. BM buys baby's clothes at Target and Wal-mart and buys pretty cheap diapers. BM does not have to provide baby with anything while he is at our home. We provide it all and it does not break the bank.
I do not get it at all.
BF and BM went to mediation once. Per their divorce decree, which was drafted shortly before the baby was born but not signed by the judge until after the baby was born due to BM's attorney making number typos and it having to be drawn up again. Anyway, the decrees requires them to go to mediation before going to court if they cannot work out parenting time, child support etc.
I hope all of the grandparents out there have a great day!!
Dawn
When BF went to pick SS up yesterday, BM was sure to tell BF that SS had "some things that he wanted to tell BF." When they got on the road, BF asked SS what it was that he needed to say. SS said, "I'm supposed to tell you that I've been having headaches because I'm stressed about the custody stuff." BF asked SS if he even knew what "custody" meant. SS said no. BF explained what it meant. He talked to SS about how if his Mom didn't get a job, that SS might be coming to live with us for a while and visiting BM every other weekend.
I picked up FSS 9 months yestersday and BM said he just woke up it was almost 5:30 pm. He slept on and off - mostly on - all the way home, about 80 minutes. BF fed him dinner and he was fine but a little fussy which is normal the first night we have him. FSS went to bed about 10pm and I thought he was down for the night. I was wrong! Between 10pm and 2:30 am he was up and down every 30 minutes or less. He would fall asleep in my arms and I would put him in his crib and he wold wake up almost immediately. Finally at 2:30 am, I handed him off to BF.
I know this is off topic, but I always get such great feed back and support here, so I thought you all may be helpful with this. DH & I have a son, he will be 2 next month. He does not talk, really at all. I have, for the past several months been working with him with Early Intervention. The woman who works with my son is great, and he is making progress with "signing" to communicate. He has no hearing, or health problems of that nature. The other day, my fears that I have had about him were confirmed. He very possibly is Autistic.
since she left , i have been getting stupid calls asking for weird names , or say our take away is ready or silly things, i was trying to ignore it and brush it off, but this morning i was in a happy mood and trying to move on and not think about sd as it's been really hard , i received another one , finally told hubby , we rang the number back as the stupid kids rang on home phone he admitted he goes to her high school , but recons got the number out of the phone book! can't of as our number isn't listed, my hubby shutup quick!
It was a new day here at our house today but all the same issues. It is sooo exhausting. Every night I go to bed and hope for a better day tomorrow and think positive and say to myself aw it cant be that bad I can do it, then I wake up and it is as if I get hit with a frying pan. All the feelings of anger, frustration, hopelessness, bitterness, and resentment come flowing out.
