I just verbally ripped off BF head. He called to tell me he has to meet with BM right now to get the van out from being towed on Friday. (The van is registered to him & the loan is in his name)
On Sundays when SS comes back to us for the week he always has money on him. He is only 6. I guess BM and him go out to lunch with other relatives and whatever the change is BM allows him to keep it. This happens almost every week. I am the one who does the wash in the house. AND the rule is that if I find money in the machine it is mine. I can't always remember to check pockets of his clothes but when I do I put the money is a zip lock baggy that goes back on Sunday when he goes back to her.
How sad is it that when your ss comes home from a visit you predict that there was a fight and now a break up between bm and her drug dealing bf?
Oh, and ss is telling bm flat out lies to try to get bm to soften up and allow him to move back in with her. Of course, it's been six months since she last broke up with her bf, so it was time for the cycle to repeat.
BM has screwed her head back on and had a decent adult conversation with BF when he was attempting to pick SS up for visitation (which to my suprise didn't happen like it was supposed to, but she's giving us an extra full weekend to make up for it so I'm not that upset...I just wish she had called to inform us of this BEFORE BF made the 45 minute drive to her house...but you can't win them all) about the parenting plan.
I’d like to put together a booklet for us stepmoms/second, third or fourth wives so we can have a daily thought to carry around with us, when we don't have access to a computer. When we have enough submissions, I’m going to date each page and print up copies for anyone interested. The stories within would acknowledge issues only blended families are faced with. We would offer each other a glimpse of our experience, and provide each other with positive “happy” thoughts and encouragement for our sisters who read it – It’ll be 365 days worth of some type of enlightenment.
According to the Texas Family Code, Section 154.013, my husband's estate is required to continue to pay the child support obligation according to the decree. Does this mean that in the event he predeceases me, that I would be required to make payment toward his child support obligation with life insurance proceeds? Any help or advice would be appreciated.... Thanks. Tootsie
I have such a hectic schedule. I went dancing last night for the first time in a bazillion years so I ended up missing their weekend. Then I woke up with such a bad headache that I went to a walk in clinic for medicine. I don't smoke/drink or anything so I have to find out what's up with all these headaches.
Anyway I didn't go to ss Aikido demonstration this morning. To be honest I don't want to see BM or my sd who used to live with us and is truly awful to me. I did ask him how it went though.
My boyfriend told me of a pow-wow he had with the ex about my relationship with the kids.
She thinks even though the kids & I are golden right now, (open, casual & comfortable with few moments of hesitation),
"it's going to get hard & ugly."
This perspective is based on how they reacted to her boyfriend, who they see as the reason the family broke up. The kids see me as someone who helped Daddy stop crying, makes him laugh and is willing to get down & dirty involved in their interests.
We had an absolute great time on our 1 night get away!!! We acted like complete teenagers. I highly recommend to all of you, that if you have not done that in awahile. Start making plans. For 1 night BM didn't exsist. It was grand. We got home exshusted, popped in a movie and was in bed by 9:oo.
At 11:oo, my Daughter wakes me up to tell me BF's phone has been ringing off the hook. He's out cold, so I get up. My Daughter tells me BM called, then BM's Brother and finally the 16 y.o. WTF now ????????????
I'm so excited--we confirmed today that we are going on a family trip to Germany in August, for two weeks!!! With my skids, MIL and DH cousins and I am so excited!!! My DH's cousin in Germany is getting married, and we are all going to the wedding. I have always wanted to travel but could never afford to, raising myself the way I did. Can't now either, but MIL is funding a big chunk so we can go--she is a great traveler and a lovely, fun woman. DH and I have been holding our breath and not saying anything because we oh so wanted skids to go but BM hesitated for awhile.
