At the end of this is the email DH sent to BM. Her response today is this:

"Before I answer any of this ......I have one question to ask........how can you ask me to compromise for you when you will never compromise anything for me?"

This is so frustrating. I'm so flippin mad at her idiocy and these games she plays. She does this kind of manipulative behavior all the time. I'm quite sure she if referring to DH telling her last week that he will not agree to the kids missing school to fly out early because she doesn't ensure they do their homework.

Need to vent

BM is a real piece of work. Last week she attempted to put SS12 on Zoloft for Anxiety. DH put out an email that under no circumstances was that to happen. SS12 came back Monday and DH asked if his mom gave him anything. He said no medicine, but she did start him on new vitamins and Fish Oil. DH said fine, but if he noticed anything different he was to tell him. She listened for once.

Do they ever get it?

Do the DH’s ever get it? Do they ever look at their little angel kid and finally see the horrible person that they are? DH sees it, but it only last for a few minutes and them it is forgotten and forgiven.

I know DH ignores most of SS’s issues, but I wonder one day if he will “get it”. He knows that SS is a lying, rude, manipulative, spoilt brat at 17. He just ignores it.

Need advice quick!

I get this e-mail a few minutes ago....

DH,

SS14 has to stay after school today for homework club he has a paper that he needs to get done. He was not able to call you as you were in court and he said that he couldn’t call SM. I will be getting off work at 1500 so I will pick him up and off work or I can drop him off at your place. Also, he was being very snotty with the teacher and Miss Maggie. I talked to him about his mouth as I heard some of it first hand but Miss Maggie told me about some of the other stuff that he was doing. Just so ya know.

Whaaaaa???

BM is being very cooperative lately... Did I miss the flying pigs? Someone tell me the temperature in hell right now, maybe they're having a cold day? Or perhaps I simply stumbled into the Twilight Zone. But maybe just MAAAAYBEEEE she simply doesn't feel the need to make our lives harder! No matter why her change of heart, I ain't gonna ask her about it! We'll just nod our heads and smile. Smile

Tired of DH not having any back-bone

This is really a vent about DH. This weekend my family is coming for a visit so my bio daughter 18 and my SD14 were going to go spend the whole day at another family member's house visiting and having fun. SD will be with me bc DH has to work this weekend. DH just called me and asked if nephew 10 can come over to our house this weekend. I reminded him of my plans with family and simply said that he needs to have a talk with nephew before we leave for the day telling him that he is to listen to me, etc. Nephew has ADHD and when he's not on his meds, he is really a handful.

Burned Out Step-Parenting

After four years of the same thing, I have finally reached the end of my rope.
When my husband and I first met things were simple. Despite having 4 children between the two of us we were both committed to putting in the work to keep it strong until problems arise with the kids. I have a 7 year old girl, and a 13 year old boy, he has a 13 year old girl and 17 year old boy. Interesting combination.

Don't know what to do - flights

DH and I don't know what to do.

DH is custodial parent. Mom moved to WA (part of reason custody was changed).
There is NO visitation order or any order about how to handle transportation (judge left it out with his ruling).

Status quo has been they go to mom's for Xmas break. No problems there.
Mom pays for flight to her. DH pays for flight back home to us. (Even though there is no order).

Life changes...

Happy Wednesday! I've not been on ST in a couple of weeks mainly because I've been busy with my new PT job that has FT hours and have also been running my small business. Which I'm not complaining at all about because honestly I've been focused on ME (bold double underline ME!!). And...because I have informed my FH that he is to deal exclusively with his crap of an xwife and rude kids, that I had enough of the abuse from all three (bm, two daughters). I told him I would be here to support him and OUR relationship and would do anything for US. Suddenedly, my life became much simpler!
