I HAVE A 1YR OLD AND A 6YR OLD SD. HER MOTHER IS DRIVING US CRAZY IT IS PETTY CALL AFTER PETTY CALL. I DO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH HER DIRECTLY SO IF SOMTHING IS SAID I FEEL LIKE I CANNOT DEFEND MYSELF. I THINK IT IS HIS BUSINESS WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR DAUGHTER BUT IT IS GETTING TO THE POINT THAT ME AND MY 1YR ARE GETTING METALLY ATTACKED. I AM EITHER TRYING TO BE HER MOTHER (WHICH I KNOW I'M NOT BUT I DO HELP TAKE CARE OF HER WHEN SHE IS THERE)OR I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
One of my best friends is getting married in May. I guess I should say "our best friends", since my DH is now close with them as well. Anyway, the fiance is going to Vegas for his bachelor weekend in March and it falls on a weekend where DH has the girls. We were trying to figure out if he would be able to go and he was like "you can keep them, can't you?". This hit me wrong. He will be gone from Friday until Tuesday, so he wouldn't be there AT ALL the entire time we had them. So, I said nope, sorry.
BF was dropping SS off after visitation this weekend. BM has a habit of opening the door of the vehicle to help unload SS's stuff, but just standing there inside the door and talking to BF instead so that he can't pull away because he'd hit her with the vehicle or the door. So she's going on and on, and eventually she tells him that her laptop is broken again. She said it in a way that was evident to BF she wanted him to fix it. He said, "Considering the last time I worked on your laptop I was brought to court and accused of hacking it, I don't know what to tell you." Her jaw dropped!
I was a single Mother for 16 years to a Daughter. Last year I met a man whose 16 year rocky marriage was coming to a crashing end. He has 4 girls between the ages of 9-16. Bob & I became very close friends, fell in love and moved into together one year ago. I went through the drama of their break-up, the divorce and blending the girls. His girls like me alot.
I've read a lot about issues with money on the postings and it seems to be a common issue for everyone to some degree. In my situation we are expected to pay for any expenses that were not covered in the divorce decree. Small things, you know, things that aren't really important at all like...college, weddings and braces etc. (said with much sarcasm)
I had satifiying news about my SS, He went out on a date with a girl there was a group of them. He is only 12. anyway it was bumming him out afterward and finally his mom and dad couldnt get him to talk so my husband asked if he would talk to me, my step son said yes because he was getting silly advice from his mom and his dad and his step mom is cool. SO he asked advice about this girl and we talked for about 45 mins about girls and he was able to open up quite a bit which was great!
I am engaged to a man with a 15 yr old daughter who is sooooo attached to him. Long story, she has had some past abuse issues with women. Never met a good mom role model yet. I have been a mom for 17 years to my own kids and think I did ok, and they say so too. She is very jealous. When I talk to him on the phone at his place, she always starts messing with his hair or saying things in the background. If we are all together, and she sees us hugging, she leaves the room pouting.
Need Advice. I have 2 children: boy-12 and girl-13. My live in boyfriend also has a 12 yr old son. The boys fight constantly! It's even getting physical. We can't even go out anywhere, because they misbehave and it's very embarrassing. The 2 of them pretty much set the mood-if they're miserable, we're all miserable. The other 3 of us get along fine with each other, and the boys. Any suggestions???
I just want to scream. Last night the SD calls her dad and says to meet her outside the house because she wants to talk to him without the bitch (which would be me, I guess). So she drives up and sits on my front porch yelling and cussing at her father. She tells him that he has never been a father, etc., etc. Then she informs him that she hopes that I die from my breast cancer. Her exact words were "I hope that f***ing b**** dies! I hope she f***ing dies and leaves you all alone!" All of this is going on with my 11 year old son in the house with one of his friends.
This is prolly more a general parenting question. I have an 8 year old SD, and recently, she's not doing the usual procrastination when it comes to chores. Lately she's been throwing fits about being scared and oh this house is so creepy and the door came open by itself yada yada (here come the fake tears) when I know full well she hears scary stories all the time and its never bothered her before. I dont let her read or watch the stuff, so I know its an obnoxious act and an attempt to get out of doing whatever it is i asked her to do.
