DH is scared since BM has only had her new job for 6 months that he is gonna get slammed for cs since she was reported making 19,000 in 06,07 and part of 08, and he was making 38,000 in 06,07,and part of 08. She now makes about 29000 a year with the new job but hasnt been a year yet!! Also she tried to claim some things that arent in her name or that the government pays for!!

Okay guys this seems to be the question of the week for me. Okay my relationship with DH is on very thin water for many reasons,, but to the question

My mother, whom was never there for me as a child and is barely there for my own children has invited me and my daughter to gulf shores. WHen I asked if one of the SD's could come she said no she wanted it to just us. Well I was able to understand that.

Well after talking with friends, some say its wrong and some say I shouldnt feel guilty because the plan is that I go with my two daughters.

BM and court ordered visitation...uhhhhh!

LoveMYBoys's picture

Thank you to anyone who reads or provides feedback! I have been reading many of the blogs for quite some time and can totally relate to so many of them! I was curious to find out how any of you resolved a BM not allowing a child to come for scheduled visits. We went down this route exactly one year ago and are traveling down the same road again now. BM and DH have joint custody of SS6. On my DH scheduled day to pick up son from BM, she was not at home with SS. Actually, we were not caught by surprise b/c she had threatened this earlier in the week over the phone.

Divorce help fast

Elle36's picture

This probably should go into the legal forum but I want as much help as possible. Husband and I are divorcing after 3 years. We now have a 10 month old together which I have temporary custody of and he has very limited visitation. He has a 8 year old from previous marriage that was with us every other week. I just found out that husband is now going to claim I was abusive to his son and his son was afraid of me. I took care of his son every summer since I was a teacher, school holidays. Got kid ready for school every morning, rushed home after school to get him off bus.

Co-Parenting Software Programs?

Wicked2Three's picture

Has anyone used a software program designed for co-parenting? I'm pretty wicked with a spreadsheet but I know there are some programs out there that are already set up to keep track of visitation, contact, apponitments, c/s payments, journals.

Can anyone reccomend a program or something that has worked for them?

Thanks

Is there a Disillusionment Phase for Re-marriages?

Regretful1's picture

...because I think I am in it! Personal history: My ex and I were best friends and were married for 12 years. He was very 'in touch with his feelings'...a sensitive guy (almost like a woman, really). We had no real 'problems' other than we were more like brother and sister than husband and wife...in fact we ONLY had sex in order to have our 2 children.

Just wondering...

I tend to go off in different directions so bear with me on this..my DH's excow has caused us many problems over the years..she never calls my DH when his son has a doctors appointment and waits 2 or 3 weeks after to tell him about it..when my SS has school programs she never tells us about them until the day of knowing we can't make it that quick..we live about 75 miles from her..she makes sure her livein bf is there for all my SS activities but not his dad..I thought that she was supposed to call my DH whenever my SS has a doctors appointment and let him know..she has filed false charges

An Update, A Year Late

jl725's picture

Married life is not always easy, especially with a blended family. Things are not much better with the ex overall, but this Christmas, we at least got to open presents at our house without her there. She and her family thought we were crazy for not having Christmas morning together. I do think it's a nice thing that a child can open some gifts with both parents even when they are divorced, but I really don't want my husband's exwife present while we open gifts around my Christmas tree.

DH is as bad as the Skids!

Dreamer's picture

When DH got home last night I told him about the air conditioner and that the skids were lying and blaming it on a girl who spent the night over a month ago! DH! got pissed at me!!! He didn't like that I sent the girls to their room and told them that they had to remain there and remain scilent till their father got home.

I told him it was b/c they were caught in yet another lie and that he knew they were lying! DH said I was taking it to far. I told him that they were told that when they could tell the truth they could talk and come out of there room and not until then.

Dating vs. MARRIAGE

KittyKat's picture

Hi, all..

Oh, let the venting continue. I feel GREAT!!

When DH and I first starting "dating", adult SDs thought it was "cute" that daddy had a "girlfriend". He had been alone for almost a decade after his divorce, so I was his first "date" (awwww). I fell for him IMMEDIATELY because he played NO games, he was so sweet and sincere, and I thought it was COOL that he had three daughters. As I had said in previous blogs, I have NEVER had a problem with young women in that THAT'S WHAT I'VE DONE FOR A LIVING for two decades!! I work with young people!
