There is a new movie coming out in February by Tyler Perry and it is called Daddy’s Little Girls…you should make it a point to check this movie out and I CANNOT WAIT for it to hit the big screen…Tyler Perry said that he wanted to show that all fathers are not dead beats who don’t care about their children and that Hollywood has yet to show a Single Dad raising his three little girls by choice…I believe it comes out in February…
This is my first ever blog. I guess first, I'd like to say I'm grateful that you're all here and that this site exists; I think it's just what I needed. For starters, my son (8 yo) and I live with my BF, have been for about a year and a half. The relationship itself has passed the three year mark this past October. My BF has two daughters, ages five and eleven, both with different women (Whole different story). They are over every other weekend. We've been through the usual blending problems, i.e. boundaries, authority, etc.
I've been a stepmom since 1998. SD was 6 when we married. She's 15 now. And, we've given her a little brother who's 6 & a little sister who's 5.
Over the years, SD & I have built our own relationship & have grown to love and respect each other. I got so much support from a variety of on-line communities during those times.
I've read posts from several of you about going to counseling, which is helpful that you share the information with us.
I would like to go to counseling but am naive on this. Does insurance cover family counseling? How have you selected who you should go to? I looked in the yellow pages here for my area, but it's a coin toss on who to choose. Please help!!!
Thanks!
Yesterday i got my husbands cell phone bill in the mail and when i opened it i saw that he had 5 calls come in from the town his ex lives in.He was working in the next town and he said that maybe it picked the signal up from her town but every other call picked up the signal in the town he was working in.I dont think that his co worker would call 5 times in one day.I would question this to him but he would get mad and say i dont trust him but its not him i dont trust it is her.He has never done anything to betray my trust do you think i should question him on this?
I just wanted to say some things it may be a little off topic.I am sort of new and all of you have given me advice and led me through some hard moments and made me see things in different ways.I have laughed and cried reading your posts and it is so nice to talk to other people.I hope i have helped you out in some ways.I just wanted to write this just to let everyone know that they do make an impact in someones life.
My husbands parents ( who by the way had not spoken to us since they pretty much ignmored us at oldest ss football game & spent all their time with ex & her boyfriend & his kids)emailed us & called to have us put aside a weekend in Dec to celebrate the holiday. We are terrified that she is planning some weekend get away with my husband's two brothers & their families. ( My husband was terrorized his entire life by oldest brother & hates him. Not to mention they all pretty much ignore my existance because they are so in love with EX)
My stepson brought home his science test yesterday. I helped him with the study sheet last week and showed him how to do some of the things that he didn't understand. He got a 100% on the test!!! Yeah!! He did it exactly like I showed him. Even though he was a little difficult when I was trying to show him, it all turned out good!!
Good Morning I'm in a good place today and want to share the good that has happened. So BM was still a total bitch to me at hockey this past Sunday and I swear she tries to do things to not get us to come there and I explained to my BF what she said and did when we got home that night. I didn't do it to start trouble but just to let him know. I think for the first time I actually said it out of disbelief but more casual then heated. I also that day talked with him about getting his mom and sister and brother and kids together for a little birthday party for his son who turns 7 this week.
We wanted to get SS a certain thing for his birthday, but BM argued with us about it and brought up all these reasons not to get it for him. Then we find out that she's getting this very thing for him for Christmas... OK... just a few months ago she had a dozen reasons why he shouldn't have gotten it for his birthday, and somehow it's now ok for her to get it for him for Christmas?
