I have 2 ss's age 15 who take after their mother. They are doing drugs and drinking in our house. I have two babies and I am afraid I will lose them because of the boys. I had to call the police on the boys last week because they were fighting and wouldn't stop. I don't want my kids around this behavior but I don't know what to do. Their bm doesn't care about the boys and doesn't want any part in helping them and dad has given up.

Yuck yuck yuck I hate those little buggers. We were at my FDH's farm this weekend and since then I've found 3 on the dog, and SIX on me!!! This morning I found one on me while I was sitting at my desk, and although I did a whole body check after my shower, I must have gotten it from the inside of the car on my drive to work.

So mother's day didn't go anything like planned. It started early in the week when BF call BM to see if she wanted the kids earlier on mother's day so that she would spend mother's day with them. She said no and to drop them off at 5pm like usual. Well BF ran into BM's mom at the store and said hi to her. Some how it came up and BF told her that he offered to drop the kids off early, but BM acted like she didn't want them. Her mom seemed confused - who knows what BM had told her.

I am doing the CS calculations for Texas, and I do know pretty much what they actually use, although of course, I don't agree at all...so far I have figured out that although my DH wasn't as irresponsible as idiot BM, as she had two kids she couldn't support, by him having just ONE extra child...and her having TWO extra children, even if the combined income of both ex-witch and her DH were the same as my DHs, they would end up with almost 20K more per year than OUR home...it is truly pathetic...and that does NOT include the tax free CS she gets from DH...I know it sounds incredible, but it

So family court is almost here. Thursday is the day we will find out what is happening with custody with SD6. I hope the magistrate realises that she is better off with her BF and me. Can’t believe BM wants to up root her once again. When is this kid going to get a brake? When are WE going to get a brake!
SD’s teacher has written a letter for me, stating how well she is going at school, my employer as written me a letter stating how detrimental it would be to his business should I be forced to leave the company due to relocation.

So funny that yesterday was mothers day and not even a word was said to me. Then today... SS goes to DH when I'm not around to ask if he can borrow my convertible for his prom when he picks up his date. He KNOWS it's my car and he tried to just skip right over having to ask me. Well thankfully DH said that he would have to ask me before it's ok. Apparently he mentioned to DH that he didn't know how to ask me. That's too bad because I've always been an open person and have always been kind to him even thou he dosent do the same for me.

SS13's BM informed us that she is taking him to counseling. Yet another way she can stick us with a bill. Oh and she says that SS would like "everyone to be there". Hmm, does that mean she is saying we ALL should be there, me too? And my kids? Or does she mean, her, DH and SS?

Friends:

I don't know much but please don't make the same mistakes we did in the interest of "taking the high road."

The basebell schedule for SS14 was posted this morning. DH will be doing a lot of running. I'm stepping back this season because I don't agree with BM signing for a sport when he's failing 2 classes.

I know that for myself as a SD growing up, I would think that what I wanted and needed were two loving parents, my mom and my dad. I did not want or need any stepparent.
