He's mad because I told him that his daughter is disrespectful. She treats me like a peace of furniture. She always has an attitude and is rude. He says he doesn't care if that's how she wants to be; she treats him the same way and yet, he goes to her bedroom to baby her and "see how she's doing." She's 16 - not 6!

I requested a name change as my old name was very similar to another and often confused............AstepAbove is now PrincessFiona.........because I'm part Ogre!

Well, this posting is actually more about my bd12 then skids for a change. A couple of days ago I took both my bds and sd's cell phones because of not getting their chores done. Of course I used this time to check their phones to see what was on them. Well, through the investigation I have discovered that my bd has set up an email account and a twitter account without me knowing about it and not sure where they are going but she is uploading videos of herself to a site. Lukily not indecent videos but have learned she's got a very fowl mouth.

BM just sent an email to DH that she is taking the kids to SC for the weekend. It is Thursday and they are leaving tomorrow. We are still involved in the CO modification. So the law says you are supposed to get approval from the other parent if you are leaving the county if you are involved in a case. We had to get permission for a trip recently. She did too. Now she seems to have forgotten that again.

Here's the scenario that has occurred at least 10 times in the last year, and just last night. It's the middle of the week, on a night where BM has the kids. We're laying in bed, sleeping, and DF's phone rings. He groggily looks at the caller ID and sees it's BM. Thinking something happened to one of the kids, he immediately answers it....

Here is my situation-I have been dating tmy husband now for going on 4 yearsand married 2 years in feb. 2011. He has been divorced with two children now for almost 6 years in Feb. When I met him he was not married or even with her in the least. At the beginning I met his ex wife for the girls, I was vrey nice to her I wanted to make sure everything would be civil and kind for the girls. (i never have been with any man that had kids before him). She seemed nice but about after 2 months of dating him she started with the I don't want her talking to my girls and we are their parents not her.

It's been a couple of weeks since I've written. Short version....been with DH for 4 yrs. I have 2 sons, both grown and on their own. He unfortunately felt his biological clock ticking in his late 30's has 2 sons that he has custody of SS14 and SS9. SS14...BAD NEWS, manipulative, violent, pulls doors off hinges, punches holes in walls, beats the tar out of SS9, talks to adults like they are garbage, suspended 4 times last year. I gave THE ULTIMATUM a year ago, get him right, get him help or send him to live with BM..if you don't, I'm outa here.

I’m very much in love with my boyfriend; his children are very sweet and generally well behaved. The issues I am having are probably quite common, but I feel completely unable to cope. Background on the family- My boyfriend, umm let call him Bob, was with the EX for 6 years, 2 before they had kids and 4 years, off and on after having the kids. We’ll call the kids Jack-8 and Jill-6. The EX has a long history of taking off for lengths of time without even attempting to contact her children. Bob is really the only parent they have; regardless of the fact that EX lives in the same small town.

Her biopsy came back fine- now she's preparing for surgery on a slipped disk in her neck, or something like that. The skids are fed up with her, after the "cancer" stunt she pulled most of the summer. She's also really jealous of Princess going away to college.

I found this sight - and started to write out my long story with the history of the BM (which I thought stood for 'bad mother' before I read the FAQ...its fitting!) and me and my DH...but its just too long...

My problem is that she's just a bad person - she's not abusive or an addict... in fact she's the opposite. She's kind, and nice, and sweet, and relatable, and she makes you feel all warm in fuzzy inside... and then you walk away like what the HELL JUST HAPPENED!!!
