Is it ever going to end?????

Sia's picture

I swear to the heavens this stuff will NEVER end. Since letting SD16 go live with the psychopath of a BM she has, it has been peaceful until now. We were receiving SSI for the SD because BM is mentally ill and on disability for it, so we get it for SD. We spend every dime on SD's needs and nothing else. NO, we don't allow her to buy tons of clothes, shoes, etc. This has seriously irritated BM, and she called the SS office and filed a complaint against us for "misuse" of the money. We have receipts for every thing! Stupid cow!!

Not really a step issue, but feedback is appreciated

OK - Maybe it is a boundaries issue, I am not really sure. But - I just got a call from my SD's girl friend, who spends a lot of time at our house. In fact - she does more chores than my SD. I've been around and around with both SD and DH on constant issues around this. I like this young lady. She seems to be facing the right way with her feet on the ground. HOWEVER, she is NOT a part of the family, she is NOT allowed to sleep over (no sleep overs allowed for SD under any circumstances).

It's all my fault (again) -- but it's the last time

So the irresponsible bitch SD24 was pulled over a couple of nights ago--she has been driving with a unregistered car, no insurance, and a suspended license. Of course she called DH in the middle of the night to come "rescue" her, and of course he did. Pronto!

But before he left the bedroom he made a point to yell (yes, yell) at me that SD24 getting pulled over is all my fault. His logic is that I was the one who took her off our family insurance when she moved out, and had I not done that, none of these unfortunate events would be happening to his precious adult brat.

Sick and tired

of hearing that b*tchs name every freaking day. Sick of her calling, just plain sick of her being. Skids think I give one rats ass about their mom they are wrong. Moms doing this, moms doing that. So the f*ck what. Kids got out of school early today, work was called off for HB and all I hear today is b*tch calling DH, skids saying mom blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't care. Every time b*tch calls DH it pisses me off cause if she needs him to do something he automatically gets right on it, but when b*tch needs to be told something, he drags his feet. Having a bad day, SORRY!!!

Naming your child the name DH wanted to name his kid with BM

I'm pregnant and we're thinking of baby names. DH had this deal with BM. If it was a girl, BM would pick the name. If it was a boy, DH would pick the name. It was a girl, so BM picked the name.

Now, I'm pregnant. DH wants to name our child's middle name the name he wanted to give his kid with BM.

Am I being petty, how would you feel about this? I kind of feel like "I don't want to use that name....after you tried naming your kid with BM that...." Would this bother you?

Would you be willing to pay more support to NOT have to deal with kid and BM?

Maybe this should of been a poll, but I don't know how to create one.

Yes, I am bitter about the money, especially how BM fabricated her hand-written pay stubs...but sometimes, I'd be willing to pay MORE to just not have to deal with either of them at all.

And so I regress...

I hate that word. Regress. And it's just what I did last night. I'd just gotten to that "happy" place, married to DH for 2 1/2 years, custodial SM to SD11 and SD6 and BM to BD14. Things this year have been great. BM became less obsessed with DH, met and married a guy 10 years her junior last month. Finally all of our boundaries were in place and seemed to be working...And then last night....
