2 yrs ago I decided that I had had enough of being badly treated by SD29, and told DH I didn't want to see her for the foreseeable future. Since then, he has seen her outside our home only, I have not communicated with her or seen her at all. I was still prepared to see SD27, but she won't come here because she wants to show support for her sister. I have told DH he can invite them both to our home if he wants, but I will make myself scarce for the duration of the visit - I can stay with a friend. But he doesn't want to do this.
How much should a bio dad know about his 21 y/o daughter's birth control and menstrual cycle?
I'm from an older generation where "women things" weren't discussed in front of or with dads. Of course, periods needed to be shared with boyfriends, fiances, and husbands. How to prevent kids, how to conceive them. I would have died before I talked about my period with my dad.
Basically sd, turned 6. Dh didn't buy a gift or card so neither did I. I went over board for the 2 girls Christmas because I was feeling mum guilt that it would be the last time before baby was born. Anyway, baby is here now. Apparently I was being talked about and it was "shocking" I didn't get skid anything for birthday, why should I! I don't see BM giving anything for my 2 bio kids. When it was bio 2yr old birthday MIL gave her a set of pyjamas around over a week later. But not if it's skid, new shoes, toys etc. am I being unreasonable here?
SD62 has 2 adult daughters, C and M, and both have 2 kids. Each has reached out individually and want to meet up this summer. M and I talked a few months ago about taking her kids to a children's museum. Last night, C suggested coming over one day, bringing lunch and us sitting on the porch drinking wine and eating lunch.
I'm flattered and grateful that they want to see us. I know they like to see DH who was a witty, fun grandpa to them. C seems to remember the cooky baking sessions and would like for her sons to enjoy it, too.
DH was talking with me last night...
So now there is a "plan" - YSD18 should be arriving for Father's Day Weekend a week from this Friday. She's got finals week at high school this week so isn't going anywhere this coming weekend. OK, whatever, finals will be over and she doesn't have to go to school at all the following week. There's an event at the school this Friday that she actually told DH about so I told him he HAS to go to that.
Its exhausting listening to DH talk to SD 18 and SD 20 on the phone every day. Here's the kind of abuse he gets, but thank goodness he stands up for himself. Not sure why he keeps calling, though.
DH calls SD18:
DH: "Hey, your mom (BM) texted me asking me to check on you. She says you are really stressed out. Are you ok?"
SD: "*Sigh! WHY are you calling me? Your time to call me is not until X o'clock. Why can't you stop bothering me? What do you WANT?! I never get any free time and you are always bothering me!"
As most of you know it has been rough for me dealing with BMs non stop communication with SO. It has drastically improved on how or if he responds. Then this happened. There is a ton of gossip from a dad about a coach on a team SS played on 5 or so years ago. I had heard about the issues in the past and then the dad posted on social media. Very long story. SO asked told me about it and then I said would read it. He is working out of town right now. We then discussed it and he he said don't worry I won't call BM about it. I said why would I have ever of thought that.
I talked about this before, but I am still dealing with it. Until next week, that is. Then SD20 will be removed from my cell account, which I added dh to when we moved in together.
So I have been with my common law husband for 13 years. When I met him his kids were small. 2 girls.. now aged 22 and 20.
When they were growing up( which actually hasn't happened, they are both like 8 year olds) we had them half of the week. Now they are here ALL of the time! Which, I did not sign up for. They are both princesses and I would not be sad if I never saw them again.
Hah. Just as predicted, things when it comes to SD18 Princess Powersulk, Husband gets wonky. Theres a lot to unpack.
Last night, Husband tells me that he wants to go to this gathering tonight(Tuesday night).
Previously hes told me that SD18 PPS will be at our house not Monday, but Tuesday.
I was a bit fatigued last night after work. Maybe its that big planentary alignment. Maybe its just work is draining. IDK.
Husband quips "oh PPS did something." Sounded ominous, I said "what?"
"Oh, she got a piercing"
"on her lip".
