BM got a job! thats a start...but

Shar's picture

she is working in a bar and evenings are required...so she is asking biodad to look after boys more, not like they really need a sitter, one is 14 other is 10.....but get this...she only seems to ask him to look after his kids when my 2 kids are at their dads. Imagine that! So I guess her mission this week is to let us not have time alone....will she ever get exhausted and leave us alone????Biodad and I don't live together, but he stopped over last night with one of the boys, my kids were at their dads...she called at 10pm asking for her husband????what an idiot!

The Darkness

Ok so I've decided to borrow Little Jo's name for BM. My husband and I used to call her the she-Devil between ourselves but The Darkness }:)somehow fits better since she is like one big fat frickin' dark cloud hanging over our every thought and action.

The Exwife Saga

My boyfriend's exwife called to say that after I sent a letter to the attorney who was drawing up the custody papers (my boyfriend's daughter switched schools because she couldn't live by our rules at our house and mommy wanted to run both houses and we wouldn't let her). The ex called boyfriend last week complaining that the custody papers were not filed and wanted my boyfriend to fix it. I sent a letter to the attorney and low and behold, more paperwork. Why can't she take care of her own problems. We only hear from her when she wants by boyfriend to fix the mess she created...

My Hell

I am so glad to have found this site where I can blog and vent about my step parenting night mares with the step brat from hell! I have had the "pleasure" of step parenting my step daughter (whom I privatly refer to as "MY HELL" (matches her name, age 10, 4th grade) or "The Golden Brat" for 6 and a half long years.

step-sibling rivalry

My Husband and I have been married for 2 years we have a 1 year old daughter and a 3 year old son together. I have a 9 year old son who also lives with us part time from a previous relationship. Recently my husband's ex was arrested for the use of methamphetamine and lost custody of my step son. We are more than happy to have him with us because his previous living conditions were miserable to say the least. Needless to say he comes to us with a lot of issues. We have had regular visitation with him since we first became involved, so my ss and I are close.

I feel kind of crappy saying this but....

I have been watching my best friends kids so she can go in a ski trip (nice), but I feel as much for them as I do for my step daughter. So I realized that it's not completly the feelings for the bm that clouds my judgment. I think alot of it is that she is not mine and it's like having sombody elses kid in my house once a month. In a way I feel crappy because I should have more feelings for her than I do for a friends kids, but my feelings are not totally due to the fact I can't stand the bm.MMMMM something to ponder what do you think?

DJ

The Sound of Her Name- Like Nails on a Chalkboard-

Seriously makes me cringe. I know that SS is only 3 and he probably talks about us at BM's house just as much. But honestly, everytime I hear his little voice "my mommy has that movie" or "I have that toy at mommy's house" urrggggg- I just want to rip my ears off my head. Or when he knows he is going to his mom's and he gets all excited. I know it is his MOM and he loves her unconditionally. I would NEVER tell him not to, but the older he gets, the harder it is to smile and say "oh really, that's nice honey" when what I really want to say is "Oh really, how did she afford that?

Just venting

skye22's picture

Just when I thought all was going well bm goes nutcase on me. On friday my hubby got off work an hour early and decided to go pick up his son from daycare at 3 pm instead of the court ordered time of 4pm. We really didn't think it was a big deal. SO today I'm sitting here at work and 'she' calls screaming/cussing me out. How dare we do that without her permission and all kinds of nonsense. I calmly said, "It is inappropriate for you to call me at work in such a confrontational and hostile mannor.

Weekend Alone

smcpaw's picture

Thanks everyone for their comments on being able to request one weekend a month where my daughter stays with her dad, grandmother, friend or godparents. My daughter spent the weekend at her grandmothers (Friday night from 8:00 p.m. until Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m.). She seemed to take it better this month than last month. I just want a break once a month. She seems to understand this a little better this month. Thanks to all for their advice, but I would never let my daughter stay at the house alone.
