My H calls his son. I know and understand why he calls him. Now very rarely when he calls him is ss talkative and friendly. It is usually yeah Dad gotta go Dad fine Dad bye Dad and all the while BM in the back ground telling ss to tell your daddy bye or you are burning up my minutes.
Skids are suppose to go to their BM the month of July. BM is not picking them up til Friday. I told DH that was crap and she needed to pick them up on the 1st like she is suppose to. DH plays that role of I don't want them over at her house more than they have to be so Friday was OK with me. But he didn't OK it with me since I would be the one stuck with skids while he's at work. Of course I told him WHATEVER!! Skids have been giving me sh*t all day today and I've had it. Now I want to tell DH to tell their BM to come and get them. SHOULD I SEND SKIDS TO THEIR MOM?????
Well folks, it's been a busy month & I haven't written or commented in a while, but today I just needed to log on & spill my guts. If I don't I think I'm going to explode.
I'm now at a point where I need to decide whether to stay or go, and the worst part is we've just sold our house & are buying a new one. The timing couldn't be WORSE.
Ok...Im new here. here is my background. I met my DH almost 5 years ago-we married about 2 and a half yrs ago. We were both in the first stages of divorce when we met. At that time, i was told how well he got along with his ex which may have been the case until she found out I was in the picture. He moved in with me a few months later. He adopted SS17 when he was 6 after marrying BM (his BF was a deadbeat). SS17 came to live in my home about 7 months after I met DH due to the fact that BM could not handle him and he had flunked the 7th grade and was going to have to repeat.
i have mentioned before how SD3 is over coddled and babied by BM. granted, i know shes only 3 BUT this is how she is going to raise her and its never gonna change.
I've been away for awhile just trying to sort myself out and get myself together mentally....A month ago I went to the doctor complaining of certain symptoms that I thought were diabetes and it turns out I've been stressing myself out so much I'm causing my body to get all whacked out. So my doctor put me on an anti depressant/anti anxiety...it's a new medication called Pristiq and it has done so many wonderful things for me in the past month. I've lost weight, I don't emotionally eat anymore and I'm not letting BM get to me anymore!
I am in a particularly cynical mood tonight, and thought I'd start a place where we can post those little annoying (or BIG annoying) things that our DH's and BF's do that drive us batty with regards to parenting their kids (our SKids).
I'll start!
BM and BF are set to go back to court again on Tuesday regarding her suing him for more child support money...we'll see how that goes. Two weeks ago when SS came out here, BM's and his cellphones were "messed up" (had been shut off). Now, her home phone "isn't working right either" (has been shut off). She still has internet though, because she emailed me to ask if I could have SS email her to let her know how he was. We were away for the weekend and didn't have access to email, but she had several numbers to reach us at which she never called.
I have blogged about my irritation with BM calling MY house everyday or night that the SK's are here. Originally my conclusion was to get a cell phone for her to call the kids so I could track the amount of calls coming and going. This is mostly an issue with the youngest SK because the older 2 have their own cell phones and are 16 and 18 so they are hardly ever home anyway. I kept talking myself out of it. I finally, after much arguing with myself, figured out the real reason and true benefit (in my mind) for getting her a phone.
Quick update. Busted husband having a text message "friendship" with a woman from his work that lasted about 4 months or so. He has convinced me against my better judgement that they are friends and his only problem was ot letting me know of the friendship. PROBLEM: right now as I type this he is in the shower getting ready to go to her house for another coworkers engagement party. He said I was invited but to no surprise it is way to late to get a babysitter. That is right I have my two kids and his son with me tonight. Part of me wants him to go ... am I sick or what!
