Kudos to BM

Today was Kindergarten Orientation and 1st day of 1st grade for SS's. DH picked up skids for special breakfast then met BM at school. We live out of state so this is a very big deal for DH. Last year was a mess and she a complete arese but this year they talked to the teachers together and were civil and professional. I am so proud of BM. Last year she tried to block his access at the school and sued for sole custody. We aren't letting our guard down but at least for 1 day out of 365 she was mature.

It must suck...

It must suck to know that your mom is a horrible person. That is what my SD is finding out more and more every day. We talked to her about the very hurtful things that BM has started telling DH that are supposedly coming from SD. Turns out...none of it was true. SD was standing there when BM said one of the things and told her afterward that she shouldn't have lied and twisted her words around like that. We informed her of the other things that had been said and she just looked stunned and confused and said "WHERE DID THAT COME FROM??? I NEEEEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT".

Mother in law loves his ex way too much!

My Mother in law to be (in 2 weeks) still favours his ex of 4 years and I just don't get it, I mean really don't get it. My H2b J has a son with his ex and his ex has a daughter from a previous one night stand, we have both of the kids at weekends, pay for them and just bought a bigger house so they could have a room each. I also have 2 girls and we have been together 4 years living as a family. The ex has 3 kids now all one night stands with different men, she sits them in front of TV every spare moment, does nothing fun with them and feeds them crap.

BM says that when she gets married, she won't let her H have anything to do with the kids. What?

BM told my fiance this weekend that if/when she gets married, her husband will NEVER be involved with the kids. This was her jealousy of me talking, trying to justify that I should not go to a party that daycare was throwing for all the parents. Mind you, I'm his fiance, AND we are having a baby, AND we will be going to the same day care once baby is old enough to go...so it will be "my" day care also, AND I am very involved in the skid's lives as it pertains to everything including daycare (I help drop them off, pick them up, bring supplies, bring treats, etc).

Happily married w/a stepson from hell

:? I have been married less than a month but have been with my husband for over 2 years. I have 3 children of my own and pregnant with my first child of my husbands. He has a 7 year old from a previous marriage. The BM is recieving child support (600 a month) alimony (500 a month) lives in a house that my father in law pays for. Their son goes to a very expensive private school/after school care (which we pay for)

Santa?

Am I the only parent who disagrees with the idea of playing this Santa thing up as long as possible - the the point of outright LYING to the kids when they get old enough to question it?

I know, I know, it's way too early for this but bear with me please.

So,it appears DH is going to use his holidays to fly out and visit his daughter & 2 grandkids

I was very sick in bed night before last and he came in to tell me he had been looking at flights out west...high season for Air Miles, so we didn't have enough to cover the flight. I was planning on using our AirMiles for a January vacation, so I suggested he just search a flight. He checked the bus and it was 2 and 1/2 days just to get out there, and he only has a week off. After he checked flights, he said he can get one for $500. return. My only comment was "That's not too bad".

First Day of School. :(

I have the same problem with my DH every year on the first and last day of the kids' school year. Apparently he, his exw and the kids usually go out for ice cream every year on these days and talk about how the kids days went. I hate it. I hate that he plays happy little family with her and the kids. I try hard not to get worked up about it but I can't seem to help it. So here we are again, he's going down there after school tomorrow and I ask him if they are going to eat too and he says he hasn't planned that far or thought about it. I say BS.
