Ok, I've been married for close to 2 years. We went through a lot of church counseling prior to the marriage but of course nothing can prepare you for a "blended step-family"... The biomom went psycho, in & out of court... I have 1 daughter (13) and two Stepdaughters (10&5) that live with us.
SS got his paycheck today, now..., knowing that he has to scrimp and save his money to get prepared for school, knowing that he needs to put some money into the crappy car that his dad gave him before he will have transportation to get to school, knowing that he has bills that need to be paid, taxes, 4-wheeler, car insurance etc... what does he do?
Spends $140 on X-box games before he even gets home
What can I do to motivate this kid in an adult body and soon to be in an adult world?

My satisfaction is.....I'm well tanned, about 170 pounds lighter..... and I'll make damn sure I LOOK HOT, HOT, HOT !!!!!!!!
Never a dull moment with Ms. P. Mic called to make sure ss would be at drop off this afternoon. Now, this arrangement has only been in place for a whole year, so I guess I can see why she would still be so confused about it. Of course, she forgot today was visitation. And, true to form, it couldn't just be that she forgot and that she will correct it. No, this gal can't do anything without an argument, name calling, and her favorite-hanging up. She tried to say that she and ss were already out.
ok so normally I blog about the soon to be ex of my BF, but today I need help with my soon to be ex. I spoke to the people that he lives with today (he lives with his two friends that are married, her mother and grandma, 4 people total who are all related). Anyway, me ex started taking our daughter to his mom's house when she was with him. Right now we have a separation agreement that states we have 50/50 custody, however he only takes her for 5 days max about every 2 weeks. Even thought the separation agreement states 2 weeks on 2 weeks off.
Well..bf grew a set and finally told his ex how he is tired of her games, manipulations and the all around bs. He finally stood up to her and you know..I'm proud of him. Even if he and I were not a couple..I would still say the same thing.."Set your boundries and stand firm!" Anyway..I have disengaged completely from all of them..somewhat from the bf too, as I was recently diagnosed with a disease that requires surgery and my health is pretty flakey.
I was doing some research last night on child support in my state. It is calculated using a standard number as the amount needed to support a child, and then split among the parents according to their income. For example, if it costs $1000/month to support one child and BM makes $25k and BF makes $75k, then BF's CS payment would be $750/month, as he makes 75% of the combined total income. (FYI, these are just hypothetical numbers to show how it's calculated in my state.)
So BM has decided No to DH's proposed summer activity, although he has requested to talk to her about it one more time. He had to specifically request to talk about it away from the kids; she just went ahead and started telling him no during the last pick-up with the kids right here and he had to say politely "can we please talk about this later." What was she thinking? Grrrr.
So, I have carried myself, my girls and my husband on my health insurance for the past 2 1/2 years. BM has state paid insurance for SS and pays $8 a month for a crappy HMO- My company has recently been bought out and we have to update our insurance information and enroll with the new company. DH and I had a conversation last night that we would add SS and use the this insurance as secondary converage- not extra cost... no difference if we add 2 kids or 3 to my policy- no cost to BM. Sounds reasonable and responsible, right?
The SD's boyfriend (AKA "the sponge") showed up at our house yesterday..., SD left for night school and he left with her so I thought ok, he was here, but is gone again..., no problem with that. As I was getting ready for bed SD pops her head in our bedroom door and says "just wanted to let you know I was home from school", my wife said to her ok, who is with you?, and she said the sponge was. I said wait a minute, we discussed this, he doesn't stay over here, you don't stay over there, you are in the door every night by curfew.
