Funny...

We weren't supposed to have SD last night but I got an email from DH saying she wanted to stay with us instead of her mom's. She had been there all weekend and I think she had had enough of BM. We're at the dining table and DH is looking out the window to see what the neighbor is doing (extending his deck).

Have you ever...?

I was talking to DH last night and referred to BM as “BM”. I did not call her by her real name, I actually called her BM. LMAO.

DH thought I meant “bowl movement” and thought it was hilarious nick name. I didn’t have the heart to tell him it is how we refer the ex’s on an internet site?

I have almost called SS a skid and caught myself. Anyone ever do this?

A perspective from DHs

This past Friday DH & I went to dinner with our long-time friends who also are “blending.” Our SKIDS are the same age/gender. We have been with our DHs for about the same time. Our problems parallel. Invariably we get into a conversation of the trial and tribulations of blending.

My friend’s situation is far worse than my own—she lives in the shadow of a ghost—BM died young 13 years ago --a result of addictions. As many of you know I am BM-SM with a semi-active BM; however strong her presence.

Help! BM is a financial disaster zone and I am in her path of destruction.

How do I prevent her financial tailspin from affecting my own financial security and future?? My DH's XW has about the financial responsibility of an 8-year-old. She refuses to work (despite having been offered a few jobs, but she doesn't like the schedules so she turns them all down), lives off food stamps and medicaid, and continues to perpetuate the money problems that contributed to their divorce to begin with. She buys unnecessary things she can't afford and takes vacations with the money her parents give her to survive on. What do I care you ask?

How anyone can make BM happy is beyond me. She's all over the place with her expectations.

One day BM uses the "I'm the PARENT" speech with us regarding her daughter that we help her to raise, SD5. She freaks out if DF and I do anything that makes us look like the parents -- because neither of us are -- such as going to a school event.

How I came to be here.... on Step Talk, not born.... ;)

In 1996 I was a brand spanking new soldier in the U.S. Army. I showed up at my first permanent duty station (meaning I was done training) of Ft. Gordon, Ga. The first day while I was in the orderly room turning in and doing paperwork I felt like an exhibit in the zoo, this is called the "fresh meat" stage, where the men in the unit start sniffing around. I met my future husband that first day. Within 6 weeks we were married, and within 8 weeks I knew I was pregnant. Along the way I found out my future husband had already had a son with a woman a few years prior.

Am I wrong if I say no?

I live w/my SO, my bio son 18 and SD12 & SS9 (they are with us every other week). Their BM has always been off her rocker. She's called me all sorts of names and physically attacked my SO in public. She intimidates me as much as possible. She's called the house several times complaining about me. ETC... ETC... ETC... You get the point.

so off topic... but have to share...
