:jawdrop: im sorry im pregnant and i need to vent my DH and i got in a fight because my SS asked me if i will love the new baby as much as i love him and i said yes but my DH told me you wont know a parents love until you have your own kid that sense he made SS and that is a piece of him that he loves him more than i do and even more than he loves me and i got mad because i think anyone can have sex and make a kid that doesnt make them a parent i love my SS he calls me mommy because thats who i am his BM rarely sees him mabey a day 3 times a month im there everyday feeding him teaching him

Does anyone have a DH who goes away on visitation weekends to stay overnight in order to see skids due to distance issues?

So I have two weeks of school left - which will get rid of some stress. And I am starting a CAREER soon - no more part-time jobs. My wonderful parents sat me down and basically told me they don't know where their daughter went. They want me to get out of that house as well as FH. They told me FMIL is creating a very unhealthy enviroment for me and I am not good at handling stress - it physcially takes a toll on me - like I will lose 20 pounds and then gain 30 back...if anyone looks at me the wrong way - I burst into tears. my anxiety is so bad I want to hide in a corner.

BM finally put child support on us! Ughhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are my BF's rights when it comes down to paying CS?
WE have 50/50 custody both physical and legal.

Is there a way to have no child support?

If both parents live in the same town & the child goes between the two homes equally, is there a way for child support to be removed?

This is a normally scheduled weekend with SS8 - so why is it that this whole concept of established EOW visitation seems to be foreign to her although she's been doing it for the last 6 years.

So DH calls her to find out what is going on about this weekend and stupid BM schedules a house showing when she's supposed to be dropping off SS. Apparently, her sister and brother-in-law are flying in to look at possibly buying her old house and then they're going out to dinner, and then when they're done, she'll bring SS to us. Her "best estimate is between 8 and 9."

today has been really hard, and I'm not sure if I can keep compromising myself to be in this relationship.

I am concerned about all the posts I see about BMs who won't comply with residential custody/visitation orders. I was told by the police department that every time a court order is disobeyed, the police should be called. That is in Illinois. What concerns me equally, is the bias in favor of the BM, even when she is not the better/fitter parent. While all is not perfect for women, yet, in the US, barriers to education and employment have been removed. I do not see a reason for a mother to stay home indefinitely because she is a "stay at home mom," unless her financial situation allows that.

I know in the whole scheme of things in this world that I shouldn't be complaining, but I'm just bummed today. I have this melancholy feeling about everything today. The situation with my SO and his kids, our financial situation, I work in sales and of course - that's in the toilet right now with the economy. I just cannot seem to bring myself out of this funk today. **sigh**

So my bf and his parents went on a cell plan together for phone service for the next year. Even though it was a nuisance for bsns purposes and contacts he's chosen to change the number...and send the n to his old contacts EXCEPT the EX! Must say I am thrilled. His dad agreed it was best, they speak often and his dad said if the ex needs to leave a message she can call our house. You can call her back and block your number from her seeing it.
