SD7 (8 soon) has always had periods of depression/sulking. She'll be sweet and fun for months and then go through a maudlin period for several weeks, and then it's back to normal. The older she gets, the more I see her lashing out in anger, mostly at her brother (9) but recently at me. She cannot stand to be corrected, even if done gently, although I will not sugarcoat true behavior issues (and here I have to add the proverbial "like her BM does"). She recently went on a tirade against me because I told her it was bad manners to quit a game as soon as she starts losing.

let's see what has happened the past year?
BM decided she couldn't work anymore and is disability for some apparent back problem--no one can figure out exactly what is wrong with her.
my daughter is finally seeing the psychologist on Wednesday. I wrote to the Executive Director of Human Services about BF's exwife collecting food stamps for a child that wasn't residing with her at the time, for 8 months. Funny thing is in her court affidavit she says she shared those food stamps with BF...she shared them for 2 months and than hoarded the rest for herself! And I'm going to keep contacting this lady until she responds to me. I emailed it in question form wondering why her actions are being allowed when anyone else probably wouldn't get away with it.
So today my BF's son came back to our house...yay...but once again BM sent him to school without any hat or gloves...finally the teacher pulled my BF aside and told him this is enough of him coming to school every other week without winter clothes...I have a feeling if it happens again CPS will be called and show up at both houses...since he's going to Head Start I know they will call if it happens again...it's really too bad that the judge was stupid enough to not change the order...the woman has no motherly instinct in her at all...
I had a baby in August. SS of 7 is with us every other week for a full week. In the beginning SS was real excited about her and would give her attention and be concerned of her needs. Lately the tables have turned. SS has gotten real needy. I understand that every kid probably goes through this phase but now it is rubing off on Dad. yesterday SS was over the top. Dad had to get his full attention. And Dad gave it. I am yet to hear, Not now, baby needs fed. Or baby needs diaper changed, you get the picture. Whatever SS needed, wanted, etc....Dad was right there to give it.
I haven't posted in along time, but I was curious as to if any of you feel this way. I've been with BF for two years, we are finally considering marriage and between the two of us we are raising five children(he has two and I have three)both of us share custody of our children with x's.
For two years we've battled with a jealous ex-wife who insists on interfering in our life in anyway she can. The only thing I've wanted, more then anything, is for us to be a family and to "feel" like a family.
Skids went to their BM this weekend. When they got home both had one red eye. I asked why and they said maybe pinkeye. I was like WHAT???? Can people get pink eye in 3 days? Of course the bitch sends them home to us to deal with it. Can't this woman be responsible for her own kids for once instead of always putting shit on me and HB?!! Now my 3 kids will probably get it too!
I just looked at my profile -- I joined here almost 20 weeks ago. The encouragment and support here has been very helpful and gotten me through what could have been a much rougher time than it was. Thanks to everyone!

It totally slipped out. She has started suggesting things for the kids to watch on tv while they are here on our weekends. She has done this several times already, knowing that we don't watch tv very often. Even when the kids aren't here we aren't big into tv shows. We love our DVR!!!
