A SM by any other name?

What do your skids call you?

When we were dating, my skids called me Ms. (first name). My SS still does but his older sister SD14 recently started calling me by just my first name. I don't want to cause any more drama than we already have had, but when I was coming up, you just didn't call adults by their first name. this feels disrespectful to me.

Any thoughts?

Too funny ...

Okay, so today was SS4's open house at his school. A new company bought the place and they are implementing a new curriculum. Anyway, BB is supposed to give us information about school, but we've given up on that - I just ask whenever we pick him up if anything new has gone out. Anyway, she never told us about the open house. So, DH and I take separate cars because of the day's schedules, and as he is pulling in BB is pulling out. He waves, and she starts to waive and then gives him this "what the F are you doing here" look. He said he about fell out laughing. Just had to share.

I want to pull my hair out!

Ok, so these past few days have been even worse. My SS has found a better way to push my buttons. I ask him nicely to stop doing something and now all he does is laugh! Then following the response is NO! I had him at my work today because my boss is kind enough to have a kids room for the summer. Trying to save money I volunteered to have him come up there and play with the other kids. I asked him to stay in there and play and all he did was run a muck! So I got fed up with him and called the babysitter.

i'm feeling left out...

because we haven't even gotten to see sd for three weeks now, so nothing to bitch about...i know that sounds strange but we miss sd!!! and if i have to put up with crazy bb drama in order to even see my sd, then so be it. i've been logging on here day after day with nothing to say. this coming weekend is our visitation so we'll see if bb even shows up. dh hasn't spoken with sd since last week and that was for three minutes! i did print off some phone records though, so when our court date comes, we can have some sort of proof. it's just so sad. and i still haven't called bb. should i?

They need to mind their own business!!!

Ok. SD17 moved in with us back in January. She lived in a very UNstable household with her BM and Step dad. Step dad has "explosive disorder" and lives off of the system and Bio Mom is bi-polar and lives off of the system. SD is 17 and when she moved in with us, she didn't even know what a W2 was. Well, the beginning of March, she went to visit her mom, and never came home. She called on Sunday and said that she was sick and didn't think she could make the drive home (it's 1 1/2 hr. drive).

Hahaha, now she's going after my boss

SS was exposed to my workplace this weekend (which he has been in the past) but this time word got around to BM that SS had spent some time with my boss. Now she's treatening to report my boss to every board that she can think of related to his field, try to get his license revoked, sue him, sue the company, blah blah blah.

Back to court for extras

Hanny's picture

Has anyone had the experience of being taken back to court to pay for extras. You know, summer school, dr bills, summer camp, etc. The half that BF is suppose to share with BM. I was just wondering if anyone has been taken to court for their half of the extras. My Bf's ex is even trying to get clothing expenses, claiming school uniforms are extra. I consider that same as clothing/food, etc that CS covers. BM sets the kids up in every kind of camp there is, summer school at the cost of $750 (even though they go to private schools), all without running any of this by my BF.
