I'm new on here and kind of need to vent. I just had a new baby, and my husband has a 6 year old from his ex. Lately I feel very resentful of the 6 year old. The new baby and him have to share a room, I really want to decorate the room for the baby, cuz the 6 year old is only here on the weekend, 2 nights. But my husband feels like the room is just for his soon. Baby is now 2 month old, and has nothing in the room for her. I can't move anything in there with out hearing a fit from the 6 year old that it's his room. It's driving me up the wall.
Hopefully someone will be able to read this, because I am not sure where it is going to go. I had pick up my Mom's car today and my mil offered to help. So we go to get the car and are talking along the way. She often brings up the ex. Well today was no exception. She had asked about a nieghbor of mine who is splitting with her husband and it went from that to how she feels the ex says too much to the kids about things. So my mil said that sometimes she would like to tell the sd the truth. bm had an affair and left the marriage. mil doesn't tell sd to save the kids from this.
My husband just called me. At the request of his son, he went to see his football game. Flew out, rented a car, got a hotel room all for 1 night stay. He arrives and the ex, who knew he was comming in town, tells him that he can take the kids to lunch and then to the game, oh by the way the all have friends over and then after the game SS wants to spend the night at his friends house who by the way spent the night at his house last night and SD wants to spend the night at her friends. The other SD went out of town for the weekend. I feel so bad for him.
I'm new to this group and have trouble keeping up with Blogs and things like that. So, if you don't hear from me for days ... don't worry.
Well, it's our 6th wedding anniversary today! My Dh and ss are at their Boy Scout camp. It ended up that the troop decided to not spend the night so they will be coming home around or a little after dinner.
I went and bought some flowers to plant. By the time I'm done planting and have to start watering all of these things, I'll be wondering what I was thinking!! Oh well, at least I'm keeping busy today and getting some things done.

My dh and I pretty much work together as a great team with SD11. We usually tackle issues with her together. We have definate boundries. He is the punisher and the ultimatly what he says goes, but he includes me in a way that she knows that I am included because I am also "raising her" and that I love her and want what is best for her.
So last night I asked my husband if he thought sd would remember me on Mothers Day...He said I expect too much out of her...she is 10yrs old...but last year she got me a gift and made me several cards...alot has changed since then her mother and I no longer speak to each other and sd has been very distant towards me since about 3 months after hubby and I got married...which was 1 yr ago mothersday actually....Do you all think I am expecting too much..??
DH is going to court this morning for all of the child abuse allegations..... for a quick update.... my 2 year old SS came home from BM's house with a black and blue butt.... the baby was abused. I don't know if BM did it.... but I do know that it happened over there. Long story short the 2 SKs were taken from my DH and I and BM while CPS and law enforcement tried to determine where the injuries occured. On April 19, 2007 the Protective Custody order was lifted against all of us....
we have never bad-mouthed bb in front of sd10, but with all this drama lately and the lies and having sd say she doesn't want to see dh...it makes me want to retaliate! and i KNOW i can't but what should we do? should sd be grounded this weekend when she comes to see us? should she be told some of the lies her mom has said? what is fair game and what is not?! it's not fair that bb trash-talks dh all the time and screams in front of sd about what a liar he is (when she is the one lying!!!!). doesn't sd deserve to hear the truth? and if not now, when??
