ok so i've been SERIOUSLY stressed out lately (so bad i'm having health issues) so i've been trying to figure out different ways to figure out how to lower my stress so i don't make myself sick.

So I told my skids to make sure that thier stuff was packed last night so all they had to do was get off the bus today and grab thier stuff for their bm who will be picking them up after school. Usaully, she is here a couple minutes after they get off the bus. I told them they could get thier stuff and go right out and wait for her. I tell my husband this when he gets home and he gives me a funny look and says he feels bad that they have to wait out in the cold for her. For Christ sake they play out in the snow-they wait out in for the school bus!

Last night was kinda funny. Depending on how you look at it.

First she called to inform my bf to drop the kid off at late sunday... get this... because 'he always cries when you bring him home'.

Like he is not gonna cry if he stays 2-3 hours longer? Fucking stupid bitch.

Then around 9:30pm she sends message stating this 'Do you have a laptop for (the kid)'?

BF replies, 'I only have my laptop, besides he is too young to own a computer now'.

oh my gosh. just had a huge blowout with dh over how I parked my car crooked and he almost hit it.

Lately things at BM's house have been hard for SD8. Her husband treats SD terribly and BM doesn't stand up for her. As a result, SD has been acting out (big surprise). Apparently she's been stealing. I want it to be known that I have never seen this side of SD because we treat her like a person!!
BM's husband
--only allows SD to have one toy in the living room at a time
--took away her cell phone for weeks after she only had it a few days for "disrespect" (he's lucky we're not the ones paying for it)

Thank you to everyone who responded. I talked to BF last night, mentioned some of the things that were talked about on my last blog, he called legal services today, talked with someone and they are having a lawyer call him back! I was a little harsh on him but stop sulking and take action!

So, BM is in big trouble. I didn't realize how very serious contempt is. Okay, I did, but still... }:) She arrived late. Very late, in fact. If only the court had been on time and calls SO's case first, she would have totally missed it and been screwed. }:)

To start with, the bailiff had to kick BM and her friend out for talking to loud. They came super late and then kept talking loud over and over. She was probably super mad I was there.

Sigh...maybe I have the winter blues or am becoming impatient. I need some of my ST buddies to help me out with a little bit of positivity here.

Anyone out there sometimes feel like the massive CS$ (translation: legalized extortion) paid to the BM/exW will NEVER END?? My FDH has been faithfully paying his CS every 2 weeks like a freakin Swiss Army watch (total about $1,600/mo. for 2 kids even though we SHARE TRUE 50/50 PHYSICAL & LEGAL CUSTODY of skids with BM) for about 5-6 yrs. now. There is FSD16 & FSS13.

So, DH still has the car he had when he was married to BM. She and her family are the only reason he bought that car in the first place, her dad works at the car sales place, and convinced him to get this car and another for BM.

Please, please let me! While I was at work they both decided that they would switch her bed with the boys's bed! Ok fine in itself as her bed is bigger and their bed is smaller. This is something I tried to get them to do a while back. So anyway they set up the smaller bed in her room however they just threw the other bed in the boys's room and did NOT set it up! GGGRRRR! I want to choke them both right now!
