Because oh what a difference a day makes. Or in this case, half a day.
I honestly am at the end of my rope with this situation. DH was going to file for an emergency custody change giving Crazy full custody. He consulted his previous (now retired) lawyer and was going to call the new referral.
SD left in the middle of the night 1.5years ago. Didn't speak to father for 7 months. Now in May has all of a sudden started coming around. I am on complete edge. He has been desperate for her to be back in his life. I am struggling with his expectations of me after a lot of difficult circumstances and what I feel is very disrespectful and mean behaviour toward her father and myself. There are so many details to explain but the bottom line is I don't know if I can accept her the way he wants me to. I am struggling to not view her behaviour as manipulative.
So the turn over rate for managers is just as high as regular employees... so far 5 managers in 5 months
The expectations are so ridiculously high that everyone who is wise has ADA/FMLA/etc to be legally protected from getting fired for taking breaks
My new manager is a hovering micromanager and I loathe her voice already and wish I could block her PMs
I am trying to line something up before quitting this disorganized chaotic mess and wondering if I should just take a leap of faith and work independently as I've done in the past.
Thank you to all that answered my cries for help. I truly appreciate all of the advice and as much as DH bashes my "SM sites" because he thinks his way of parenting is the only and best way, he was definitely open to any input I relayed to him when I told him I posted this. Here is what has transpired since SD-almost 15 arrived on Sunday.
Father's Day was ok, YSD ended up actually staying the night on Sunday (shocker!). It was pretty icky weather so not too much to do outside. YSD didn't go out once, DH did the grocery shopping for her of course. I kept myself very busy with some yard work in between rain showers, running errands, going for a walk and to the gym and reading/watching shows I wanted to watch on my own.
DH and YSD played board games, no, thank you - you enjoy time with your daughter...
DH and I recently agreed to change cell phone plans and to remove SD20 from our plan. This took effect today, and since SD20 had over 30 days to create her own account but chose not to, her phone is now a paperweight.
SO, husband and I had a lil talk last night, his last night before his trip. I asked if SD18 PPSDN was at her mothers already, and told him shes not staying at our house while he was gone. She was out with friends and was going to stay at our house that night. I added that he would need to take her to her mothers the next day, as thats when he would be leaving.
We just zoomed with SS25, Mrs SS, and baby. 7 lbs 11 oz, 23 inches long, an adorable little mouth, and a full head of dark curls.
SS: Look, son! There's grandma and grandpa!
Mrs SS: They love you sooo much!
It's true... DH is over the moon and I am in love and cannot wait to kiss his precious little head! *air_kiss*
Greetings and good afternoon steptalkers.
Today, another day, another question-advice-ask.
I planned a nice lunch for my Dad for fathers day. I told husband about it and he stated hed like to go also and bring his SD18 Princess Powersulk Do Nada along.
So the bio mom has been out of the picture for 10 years. She was in and out of jail, doing drugs, etc. but SD turns 18 and contacts her immediately. Her mom starts up with LIES about DH. She said there was a no contact order and that he was forcing her to pay child support even though (she victimizes herself once again..)..."Im so poor. I have no money. Im so sorry kids. I love you soo much." Is that why she didn't contact them for 10 years?
