Sleepless and Confused

jlot's picture

Well I had a terrible day yesterday…came home from work to the skids and hubby. I just needed some time alone so I immediately changed clothes and then sat on the porch and read. During this time, the girls were picked up by BM and I didn’t get an opportunity to say goodbye. Not saying goodbye isn’t that unusual, my oldest SD is 11 and very on and off with that kind of thing – she is right in the middle of puberty. I was (I am admitting this) terribly cranky – I didn’t want to take it out on the kids or my DH so I just sat alone for a while.

Weird way my DH shows that he loves me (and baby).

For the past few weeks there has been a box cutter/utility knife in the driver side little door pocket of my car. Hubby does construction type stuff all the time, so I assumed that he kept it there in case he needed it sometime when we were out and about. He has about a million of these things. A couple nights ago, he was looking for one of these knives while we were at home and couldn't find one. Our conversation went a little like this:

BM finally admitted her jealousy.

We thought that tonight would be one of our first opportunities to do something in public that is related to the kids where both DF and I would be there AND BM would be there...and that things could be mature and grown-up. Our daycare provider is hosting a little barbeque and drinks evening for only parents, so that we can all socialize. Our daycare lady made a really big point to make sure we all knew about it and that she really wants everyone to go.

Wondering What you think...

So my cousin, who's a cop..and should have great radar...but doesn't... is dating this guy. He's fairly new... I think they've been dating 2 months. His ex-wife (well not actually ex wife yet) and son moved far away... he flew in a few days ago to see his son, and because the airport is 12 hours away from where they are (kid and ex) they have decided to meet in the middle at a remote cabin his parents own. They will be staying there together for a week.

I was waiting for this

BF and I live about 15 miles from BM, and where SS's preschool/daycare is. So on the weeks BF has SS he makes 2 round trips to drop off and pick up SS. He and I decided that since I work in the town where SS goes to school that a couple days a week I would pick up or drop off SS so we would save on some of the gas we were using. This week when I picked SS up BM's mom was there picking up BM's daughter. When she realized that I was the one picking up SS she kind of had this look of shock on her face.

Someone asked me what I need advice for...

(Thanks Micheles!) - answering that question I will explain the whole situation and maybe some thoughts may help. First of all, let me say congrats to everyone on this site who deals with much more serious problems than me (I don't live with SDs, not harrassed, no court orders or police involved etc) and be strong!

BM really needs to stick to the schedule she created.

She's at it again, second time this week. BM sent my husband a 3 month calender out lining visitation for the summer. SD is scheduled to be with us for the next 2 weeks, BM knows, because she is such a freak when it comes to having all the control and say. While SD is here with us, she goes home every Wednesday to have dinner with her BM. Well yesterday, BM called and asked SD who is 12 if she was coming to dinner tomorrow night. Im so tired of BM thinking she can change the schedule and do as she pleases. Im tired of her ruining our plans, and making us to be the bad guys.

My skids are crazy losers! Where did they come from?

Things have been going along without too much drama lately since I've disengaged from the two biggest losers I've ever met. But I have to tell you all that these crazy ADULT Skids (I use the term adult loosely) are still kind of driving me nuts. Last night, I laid down the law that my SS34 and BD29 have to clean the house top to bottom because I can't stand it anymore. BTW, my BD29 moved in this summer because she's in college and lost her job. She'll be gone in a couple of weeks back to school. SS34 has been here since April. Come hell or high water, he'll be gone Oct. 1.
