A miracle has happend and both Skids appear to be set to graduate from HS this week. BM filed some (incomplete) legal paperwork to continue CS payments and force DH to pay for undisclosed college costs, but she has not responded to DH's lawyer's requests for all of her financial documents (and information on what actual colleges Skids plan to go to).
I dont even know if this is worthwhile posting about. I went back in time to get a little info, because it seems like this issue has been "floating around" for several years. I went back into the archives as far as 2012! But, because I want to be prepared and being prepared is strategizing, Ive been reading, on here and the federal financial aide sites.
Where do I even begin... SD is 14 in HIGHSCHOOL & not only can she not pick up after herself, she cannot flush the toilet to save her life... like we're talking a log sitting there at least 4-5x a week, not a casual forgetting moment. She leaves garbage and dishes everywhere she goes, on the floor.. on the couch, all over the counter - right after I've spent hours trying to keep this house clean for ALL of us.
I realized she's only been here three times (two?) since Xmas holidays. That would be a total of 4-6 days in 5.5 months.
SS24 has another baby on the way. Not sure how they will get out of public housing now. I'm sure those boxing dreams are dead and done. I encourage DH to see them when he has free time and the last time he went, he said that he had to have a good talk with SS24 about their living conditions. Per DH, they live in a horrible mess, and SS24 is blaming it on his BM's father (who owns the apartment and lives with them all). I reminded DH that SS was always very dirty and lived in filth (see prior blogs). It was one of the many things I found difficult to live with about him.
Just wondering how far you would drive a child (remember this child appreciates nothing SO does for him) to hang out with "friends". SS has ruined his relationship with his school friends and says all other kids in his grade are "weird". He was invited to one of the kids houses that play on his travel team. They live around 40 mins away on back roads. SO hates to drive in the dark. This will be over 2 1/2 hours driving to hang out. I am not saying a word . Maybe it will be a one and done but if this becomes an all summer thing it will drive me crazy.
By the way, thanks for that lol CLove.
I was tracking a Step subreddit. A kid posted on an abusive SM scorching her scalp with a hair drier as a young child and being sneekily abusive.
I commented advising the kid to tell her school in invoke the mandatory reporter process. She declined and commented that her dad and family would not be supportive of any consequences for SM because she came as out...get this... a non binary therian.
FTF is a therian one may ask? I had to look it up.
Apparently.....
SS13 isn't close to my family. Several factors are involved:
1 The only other boy is 19. All the kids close to his age are girls. He goes to a different school. The girls are all close to each other, but he's sort of odd man out, due in part to his being a boy.
2 He hasn't spent a lot of time with them. They go to the beach together every summer, but we've only gone twice. We like to do other traveling and we don't always have the time off.
3 He's shy. My family are mostly introverts. DH and I are introverts.
Invited to a gathering about 40ish people there.
Before this event I start feeling regret for RSVPing because of the incomplete tasks I want to complete but decide getting out the house and having new experiences would be the way to go.
Its been a full week since SD18 Princess Powersulk Do Nada (PPDN) has been a "graduate". Even though technically visitation ends, she went through the weekend at her mothers place, and Tuesday she "decided" that if Husband "wanted her to" she would come on over. ermmmmok.
I enjoyed a peaceful weekend. So uneventful I dont quite recall what was done...
