Recently my therapist and I were talking about the divorce rate among second marriages, which you all know is very high. I think around 75% or something like that. anyway she was giving her take on why. She said think about it, in your first marriage, you make your spouse #1 in your life. Then you have kids, and your spouse is still #1 (that is if you want your marriage to make it- or at least you know your spouse should be #1). Anyway, she said then why do people (with kids) who are getting married for the second time - why won't they make their new spouse #1.
Can anyone tell me exactly what the rules are for child suport when their are children by two separate mothers and two different payments are made. 1st ex wife has two children with boyfriend and 2nd ex wife has one. So is it 25% of his income for the first 2 and then another 20% for the third one? The reason I am asking is the he is paying both moms the same amount and 1st ex wife has two kids. SD is 16 almost 17 so there is only another year and half to go until support is no longer paid on her.
Well, SS won't be going to school anytime soon. I had to fill out all the grant/loan paperwork for him because the wife said neither one of them understood it. I said no problem, but this is something that he should be doing, it's his responsibility. But in the interest of getting this ball rolling I said I would do it, nothing that complicated really, but anyway I did it.
Yep...so I come down staires from doing my home work and who is sitting her rotten little butt in the living room?? The step brat!!! She brought home a "weekly progress report" and their are still things that she hadn't turned in home work wise for the week..But she is off her grounding. She wasn't busted for not turning in all her home work this week and no extra day was added because she asked to come to the neighbors BBQ last night...
(BM) "I went with Dayna to here counciling appointment yesterday, and
somethings were talked about that were going to be talked about if you were there,
and I have becaome the messanger. The councilor feels that you and Dayna
need to start spending some more time together before it gets to the point
were it has been so lang that it is ackward. So would you be up for having
dayna like everyother week end when you are not working?
I am now also going to explain some of her feelings as to what she
My step kids are 10 and 7, the oldest being female and the boy is the youngest.
I have been with their father for 5 years and we have a three year old girl together.
Back to the step kids: The first day in our home the girl said "you are my wicked step mother". The second weekend in my home she walked in the door pointing a finger at me telling me "You are not my mother". Needless to say that she had her mind made up for her from day one.
I truly have to start out by saying that I DO NOT regret having my girl and boy by this man. But if I had known then what i know now, there probably wouldnt have been a sweet baby girl and boy. I came into this picture in the middle of a crappy divorce, he easily got custody of both his boys, at that time 4 and 6 because his ex wouldnt take care of them. I have taken care of these boys for 9 years while their bio mom has been in and out of their lives. Basically whenever she's halfway straight.
So we went to our next door neighbors for a BBQ today. Keeping in mind that DH grounded the step brat to her room for a week for her grades and she isn't done with her grounding until Monday..Tomorrow..
Youngest BS has inattentive ADD so is on medication everymorning and it is the fight from hellto gethim to take it. Needless to say fiance' called me at work today (it is Sunday and I work and he is at home so he keeps my boys and his daughter while I work 11 hrs) anyway he calls and informs me that he is done that he can't take it or do it anymore that BS had spit his meds all over the kitchen and him not just once but 2 or 3 times this morning.
My husband and I have been together for two years. The BM is bipolar and addicted to drugs. When she was married to my husband she let my SS then 2 1/2 do whatever he wanted. he has lived with us for 2 years and he is ruining us. He didn't have rules and i insist on them. he curses me throws things and throws up his food at least once a night because i make him eat it.
