BF went to pick SS up tonight like he and BM had agreed for his one week this summer. When he pulled up, no one came out like usual. BF went over to BM's parents' house, and they said they didn't know why they weren't coming out. He went back to BM's house and knocked on the door. SS opened the door, and BF got to see the inside of the house for the first time since November 2005. He said that nothing's changed. He saw the "garbage pile", the area where the garbage can was which he described as a three foot wide, five foot tall pile of garbage bags stacked on top of each other.
I have been married since 10/2005, and loved my step kids before my marriage, now I absolutely can't stand them. My wife sets no rules for her teenagers, lets them stay up all hours of the night 4-8AM at times when this happens. I had my step son arrested at one point for putting his hands on me (he's 15 and this happened last September). We were actually starting to get along after his arrest, but since school was let out for the summer, it has gotten worse. I am ready to call my lawyer again (I seem to see him for consultations on this every 6-10 months).
please....
I am perplexed by DH's relationship w/sd16. I know he is entitled to whatever type relationship he chooses to have w/her and v/v. However, he complains about her not calling him, (since she moved out in Feb) and her lack of concern for her 2 brothers (our bs'). She also never comes by to visit him, even though her maternal grandmother lives less than a block down the street???? She visits her regularly.
I just wanted to get some advice from people out there...My Dh has three kids. SS17 lives with us full time-has since he was 12. BM sees him every other weekend. The other 2 sd11 and ss9 we have every other week from monday to monday. I also take them on BM's days. She drops them before school and picks them up from me on her way home from work. The times she sint working, i still take them so she can save on gas... What we have come to realize is that money (cs) is the root of all evil. My ex and us share my bio-son 50/50-monday to monday schedule. neither one of us pay any cs.
Hi everyone.....enjoying my time with my kids....they are wonderful! Picture this......waiting at the airport for them to walk off the plane, and I feel so anxious, and excited. It was a year ago when I last got to hug them, kiss them and just "be" with them. And then there they were, walking to me, my son yells out "mom", and I run to them, the tears stream down my face...I'm shaking. The flight attendent asks me to sign them out, and I can barely write my name. My little girl stands as tall as me, her eyes are a little teary, she is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Well the blow up finally happened a couple of days ago. SD19 started with the attitude again and I lost it. I told her she was not to talk to me that way anymore. I didn't let my 9yr old bioson talk to me that way or anyone else and she wasn't going to do it anymore either. Then she started with the you guys don't appriciate me, so I pointed out that we did a heck of a lot more for her that she totally takes for granted so she has no reason to complain about appriciating someone. Girl had absolutely nothing to say...first time for everything I guess.
i have a question for you guys. recently my DH and i did our wills. our biodaughter (1) is with us and his son (12) lives with his mother and his stepdad. when we did our wills, my DH was adamant that we split everything half and half between SS12 and biodaughter 1. i asked why and his answer was 'it wouldn't be fair.' and i replied, 'but if we were to both die at the same time, SS12 has his mother and stepdad to support him and take care of him. his needs will be looked after. our daughter will have NO parents left and will need all the help she can get!
Early on in our relationship I requested (insisted) that DH reimburse BM for medical expenses and whatnot (extras) ONLY if she provided a receipt. I did this because I was able to prove that she was asking him for the full amount for the cost of a sporting event instead of his "half". I'm kind of curious what other things she might be trying to slip by us. Has anyone else had this experience?
I guess that's another good question...What have you told BM to pay for herself because it should be included in c/s?
I thought this was kind of fun. I zoned out on it for a minute. It's almost like indoor sparklers! http://www.flamingcursor.com/
? Where do you guys get those great icons you are using for your pictures?
After reading other posts it dawned on me just how easy it is for people to find me a her. I left the name a little like the old one.
Let them Google me now! DH was on here looking tonight! azzhole!
