Christmas Time Conundrum

SoontobeWifeandMom's picture

So my BF’s daughter, let’s call her SD for now, is 20 months old. I know that she is too young to really get the Christmas thing but I still want to make the holidays special since it will be the first of hopefully many for our little family. Anyways what I was wondering is what do you do for a 20 month old on Christmas? I don’t want to get her too many presents because she is already getting spoiled by grandparents, family friends, and maybe BM. But do you think there is such a thing as not enough presents.

Finally, a nice holiday!

I know that many of us routinely have terrible holidays, and believe me, I've had my fair share of them! However, this year was one of the nicest holidays I've had in years and years. Low-key, fun, and best of all it was stress-free.

Not what I would have expected given the fact that earlier this year my mother passed away. My sister took flight and went away to her inlaws to cope with her sadness about us not having my mother for the holidays. But I stayed at home, hosted my father and a close family friend and had a great time.

What do you do when his 13yr old is ruining love??????

I have been with my Fiancee for 3 years. We are getting married in 11 months (if we make it). I have never been married and I have no kids. He has 2 kids and an ex wife who is a crazy b*%$h. The hoops that she made us jump through because of all the accusation that she made in court. I don't do drugs, we do occasionally have a couple of drinks and I am mentally sound. I was not allowed to be around their children for the first 9 months of our relationship. Because of the accusations she made in the courts. But her boyfriend who lived with her was allowed.

So far, so good....

SD moved in over thanksgiving weekend and started school yesterday. She and my DD worked on homework together last night and everyone seems so happy. I don't think SD has had much of a home life for a long, long time. DH is beside himself with joy. He woke her up for school this morning and came back to our bedroom and told me how grateful he was to have this chance to be here for her.

I still feel a little over-welmed but we seem to be doing fine so far. Wish us luck.

Is this feeling ever going to go away?

So I am six months into my relationship with my bf. He is so wonderful and although we are getting serious fast it feels right. I love him so much. We both think alike so it makes things go smoothly. And I love the fact that he is the most amazing father I have ever known. He is so close to his daughter. In fact that is what initially attracted me. And his daughter is the cutest, funniest, smartest 20 month old I have ever met. She is amazing! And she liked me right away. So what is the problem? Her crazy mother.

anyone deal with infidelity?

so i have this 'friend' who needs some advice. Wink
this dh had drunken sex with this friend's friend. obviously she wasn't really a friend but whatever. so my question is, how do you know whether you should stay or you should go? she has technically stayed for four months now and she hasn't really gotten over it. i mean, how do you? just curious if anyone has any experience with this sort of stuff. and if anyone needs more details, i'll ask my 'friend.'
haha.

The Hardest Part

Saturday, I sent a text to the ex to tell him that BS12 has a report due on Monday and he had about 3/4 of it done on my computer. I wanted BS12 to come over and complete it so he could hand it in. Ex doesn't respond until Sunday after noon, but he was on the way to pick up both BS's from their grandmother's where they'd been since the holiday and said he'd call me back when he had the boys and got home.
