I am pregnant! I had my first ultrasound yesterday and I could see its little heartbeat. I have to admit that while I am insanely excited I am very worried about how things will work out with SD and DH and I with a new baby. SD is very self centered and narcistic. Although she has not physically injured another child at school or daycare in months so I am hopeful. At least DH and I have finally gotten on the same page about SD's discipline and a schedule. Wish me luck!

Just ran DH's credit report....BM used his name for phone and internet service at her home without his permission. This happened in 2008, he moved out 2002 and they were divorced in 2004. According to divorce settlement all utilities, were not suppose to be in DH's name. This bill was sent to collections in 2009 for $251. WHAT NERVE??!!

I find myself lately being seriously wary when I think about me and DH having kids of our own. I deffinately want kids, it's something I've always previously looked fondly at and forward to. Lately, though, when we talk about having kids in a couple years, I'm not as excited as I used to be because I have soooo many negative thoughts going through my head of the b.s. I will have to deal with in regards to DH already having a kid.

I am so angry right now!!!! I am completely out of patients which for me is very unusual. I am normally the most patient, mellow, happy, and understanding person you will ever meet. But NOT right now!! My H's ex is using their children to try and manipulate him and cause trouble for the whole family. Not unusual or uncommon, I am sure. I have five other children and she is trying to say that my four (we have one together) are picking on and make sexual advances on her three. (SICK SICK SICK!!) It is one thing to attack me or even to attack my husband but to attack my children...

Hello friends.

Okay so I can complain with the best of them and I have my fair share of problems but after reading some of the blogs and forums I think I am lucky.
I really like my SK's. Do they drive me crazy, occasionally, are they sometimes rude, yes, but they try in school and don't drink much,don't do drugs (that i am aware of), no stealing, so I think that is pretty good right.

Lastnight DH was supposed to get SD for his 2 hour visit from 6-8PM. He gets a text at 430PM from BMs father saying theyre having car trouble again and wants DH to drive 45 minutes to their office to get SD. DH has done this in the past, but now theyre taking advantage of it. DH said no, it's not in my plans or budget to drive all the way there and back. DH gets a call from BMs father asking why he can't come get SD, DH explains again that it's not in his plans or budget this week. BMs father says well I have no options, DH tells him that actually, he does.

I went to the school early this morning and then to the Police Station. I met with the Vice Principal who I had called on Monday confidentially about all of this. She was not aware that my son had been called in to the office. So she got his counselor to come in to the office and discuss it. I asked to speak to SD's counselor as well, but was told that is confidential. Apparently, after my DH tried to get BM to tell SD to leave BS alone, she (BM) went and filed a complaint against my son. SD was called into her counselors office and my son in his.

I haven’t posted in the longest time. Things have been crazy busy. This issue has been going on for what seems like forever. Has anyone else experienced this?

BM set up an e-calendar about 4 years ago when she changed jobs. The purpose of the calendar was so that DH would know when we have SSons and what activities they have going on. As the PP is based on BM’s work schedule and BM’s work schedule changes every 6-weeks. The e-calendar sends DH and BM an e-mail at the beginning of every week with a link to that week’s schedule.

I understand the saying I can say something bad about someone in my family but no better else better or ill kill their ass. But this morning was not the right time- I told my H the same thing he told me word for word but I was wrong how the hell is that? So if it comes from your mouth its right but from mine its wrong? I told him I have gone though to much I'm not doing it with him. I said remember I'm on your side! When he does that I feel like he is teaming up with BM and I'm the bad guy! Grrrrr! He doesn't do it a lot or even often but when he does it cuts deep. What do I do?
