Yet again BM called the cops when we went to meet her and pick the kids up on New years eve day. She called the cops to inspect our carseats (the ones we've had for 6 months) because she doesn't think their "proper" and wanted to have our vehicle insepected and oh yea...because shes a psycho! This is the 6th time in one year that shes called the police on us for BS reasons. Im worried that SD5 and SS4 are learning that its okay to call and waste the police officers' time for any old reason.

When I marry my fiance in September, do I automatically become a legal guardian to his children? He has joint custody with the ex and she says I don't and never will have any legal rights when it comes to the kids. Im just trying to arm myself with correct information. Thanks to anyone who can answer

OK this is for a couple reasons since I am new I thought I would give a little quick hi and a little background. I am a BM and SM I have 4 BD and one SS. Now we are not married yet but will be soon. I have to rewind a bit. I had bought and made plans to go a to local theme park over the summer all the kids were excited. Well SS BM started crap the day before, now mind you SS is 10 is on only child at his home and pretty much does whatever the hell he wants to with little correction from his mom and has a cell phone. OK so he calls his mom tells him he is hungry blah blah blah.

I just got nails as a gift and I am having a tough time with them! SOOO since skids have been here they have noticed and have been taking over for me. I will try to open something to try to do something and it really frustrates me. So before I get to that point if they are walking by and notice they will do it for me.

This is awesome! I could have used knowing about this site 1.5 years ago, when I moved in with my Fiance!!! We've been through so many ups and downs. The good news is, we haven't lost each other in the process. We have 4 daughters between us. Mine is the oldest, at 31 years old. He has a 21, 19 and 16 year old. I don't have to spend much time figuring out why they are angry with both of us.

I am so happy I found a place to let it out! You guys have step-kids that are little kids...my are 21 years old and 17 years and I dislike them sometimes. My husband and I have a six and one year together. I have three other kids that are not his. When it's just me and my kids we're happy. He's always getting calls from his ex and his mother(B@#%*)from hell. The kids are mad at you, because you don't make time for them only for your other family. We are very busy at times but when he calls them they never want to come over and they never answer his calls.

I feel guilty about stopping breastfeeding after 6 months. Is there something wrong with me?

I set a goal with my newest child to breastfeed for 6 months, which I've actually met. I was very happy that I was able to do it, especially considering that I only lasted for one week with my son. That was because I was much younger and uneducated about it.

Well, they all went. SD11 was grumpy, but BF was great! I am so glad they went.

How nice to not share. This is for me. I am new here and I am excited to have a release that doesn't give me the look or the " But mommy I love you" or the "YOU DON'T LOVE ME THEN" Attitude.

But I wonder what ss15 will say to his mom about what she said about him hating dh b/c he left her a single mom and is disabled b/c of it. Ss15 has had it with his mom.

I asked dh what he would say if she called screaming at him if ss15 says something to her. He said he would tell her that he came to him. Which he did but I started it. I tried to hint to dh that I brought it up with ss15 but dh didn't get it. LOL
