I just got back from the school office. Stepson's report card looks awesome!! He got mostly A's and 2 B's. We were able to bring the social studies grade up from a C at mid term to an A!! Yippeee! I am so happy! I can't wait to congratulate him!! All of the hard work paid off!

This may seem like such a minor thing, but this is just one in a long line of things the BM does that gets on my last nerve. The SD lives with her Mom during the week and with us each weekend. The SD had her school pictures taken and we just got our copies. MY GOD!! I think the BM just let her roll out of bed and throw some clothes on and sent her off to school. She obviously DID NOT have her brush her hair - it was sticking out in ten different directions. So my BF and I decided we're taking the SD to Sear's to get another picture taken, this one is SO bad.
I read this today and just wanted to share.

Hi to everyone. I’m so relieved to find this web site. PLEASE, I need advise about ways to cope. My husband and I have been married going on 5 yrs. I bring 3 children and he brings 3 children. We have custody of 5; my husbands oldest child (16 yrs) was awarded custody to his mom because he didn’t like me and he didn’t like being at our house. He acts up all the time, calls his mom constantly if he is corrected, gets really bad grades at school because he doesn’t do homework or study (and told the judge we “hassled” him about schoolwork), and he hit and pushed my husband.
Met man with 2 kids, ex wife is very bitter that husband left her, she got everything in house, half pension, 4200 a month support, and she still doesnt have enough money to buy the boys new shoes, winter clothing, school trips etc etc. She constantly tells the boys their father is useless, not providing, dead beat, etc etc. He always takes them Wednesday nights, and alternating weekends, aligned with my children's schedule. Our children get along fairly good. Court ordered she has 3 years to get educated because her spousal support will be cut off or reduced.
HI there I am very new to all of this. My current situation is that I have been with my partner for 12 months, I knew he had three children, but during our time together he has not been permitted to see them (his previous partner did not allow this)
My SD goes to her bio moms house twice a week. The problem is this: We pack her clothes to wear to school (nice clothes, and ones she picks when we buy them) but her mother never likes them and tells her daughter that they are &*^%*& ugly and then gives her one of her tops to wear.
My husband has full custody of his daughter, she lives with us full time and visits her mother twice a week now (overnight) and every other weekend, when she feels like taking her that is.
We have taken everyone’s advice and she is now seeing a psychiatrist. He has prescribed her to take 10mg of Prozac. My husbands ex wife left us a message on our cell phone telling us she will not give her daughter that medication, that it was for people who have severe mental problems and that SD did not need it and the doctor was just trying to get kick backs from his med reps.
Sorry I've been absent for a few days. It feels like there's so much to read now since I've been gone. This website has become so popular!
Anyway, I had a dream last night that SS, BF and I were sitting on the couch watching a movie, and SS leaned over and gave me a kiss and told me he loved me. I was so happy! I gave him a hug and a kiss and told him I loved him back. Then he gave me a mother's day card that was really sweet and I was so shocked. When I opened it up I could tell that it was biomom's handwriting inside and I was confused about that.
Marriage (Part IV)
A man has six children and is very proud of his achievements. He is so proud of himself, that he starts calling his wife, "Mother of Six" in spite of her objections.
One night, they go to a party. The man decides that it's time to go home and wants to find out
if his wife is ready to leave as well. He shouts at the top of his voice, "Shall we go home 'Mother of Six?'
His wife, irritated by her husband's lack of discretion, shouts right back, "Anytime you're ready, Father of Four."
