So in a nice email, DH and BM agreed on who would have the kids when this holidays. We're not getting them for Christmas or Old Year's/New Years because she asked to have them.

I know how most on here feel about facebook, But alot of people use it to keep in touch with friends and relatives far away. Me included.
I am fairly new at it, I really wasnt into it until my daughter moved 1500 miles away.
So here is my question if anyone knows.
I have all my privacy settings set to friends and friends of friends only. Most are just friends including pics and personal info.

Well Youngest SS has been on his own for almost 6 months. Husband texts with him from time to time and I dropped Thanksgiving dinner off to him at work. It's the only time I've seen him since he left here. He was polite but quiet.
Oldest SS recently traded in the truck my husband had co signed on and bought a new car so my husbands off the note now Oldest SS seems to be doing well. He's in college and working and paying his own way.

Just married with a new baby. Hubby's ss is 13 and now wants to move in with us. Why after all these years is it an issue? I signed up to have ss on weekends only. Not happy about the change in attitude. How do I squash the issue without being "mean"?

I found a poem the other day in my "Chicken Soup for the Parent's Soul" that just brought me to tears! It was about a 16 year old young man, but when he sleeps he is still the little boy his mother remembers...

I laid the book aside, thinking I would create a quick scrapbook page for PITA 16, my SS, to remind him that even though he's a little shit, I do love him, as a last minute Christmas present.

Loghead and I went with Princess yesterday to see the doctor about a possible eating disorder. The doctor has seen over our care for the last 6 years, and he was very concerned for her. Losing 20 pounds in 6 months for such a skinny little thing is NOT GOOD. He ran blood work just to rule out any other health conditions, and we meet with a dietician after Christmas.

Loghead even spoke to Loca Grande about it- that just shows how serious he things this is...

So this past weekend, DH had skid visit out at MIL's and since BM is going to have SD for Christmas, we did Christmas for her during visit. It was hideous....

So, we get to MIL's and the normal skid visit b.s. happens.... SD clings onto DH like a leach hurts his already hurting back by hanging all over him, skid "sits pretty" in her highchair, interupts everyone while they are trying to talk, whines, cries, kicks me underneath the table.....

I'm pretty sure my marriage is headed for a divorce unless I start pretending to like my skids. I tried disengaging but I just got accused of being mean. Really how is it being mean to say nothing at all and just let them be?! We just keep arguing. He won't compromise at all! I think we are going to have to go to counseling and we've only beeen married 6 months! I can't imagine spending the rest of my life like this!

Honestly I don't know what to think of this or how to support him, his exw is threatening all this stuff against him and is trying to build up another abuse case. I understand where he is coming from, his son will not even call him dad anymore and we have talked to cps and lawyers and such pretty much we can get more time with him but we have no control of what she does. It makes me really really sad, I have watched this guy that I love cry for days over this, everytime his son's name or anything concerning him is brought up he tears up, and honestly I want to kill her right now.

We drop SS13 off at BM's every Monday at 7pm. SS13 is on Winter Break now (as well as BM and I) and wanted to stay over at his friend's last night. We tell him that it's up to his mom, since it's technically her night and he has to call and ask. Well, as usual, she won't answer the phone. It's been raining and flooding here for the last three days, so neither one of us are keen on dropping the kid at BM's house when she isn't even there, so we let him go ahead and stay at his friend's house, with messages left to that effect on her house and cell phones.
