Well my SKid hates having long hair. he even goes to the point of not washing his hair and refuses to comb it. I have discussed this repeatedly with BM. She thinks it's cute. I think it looks skanky. sorry but dirty ratty uncombed hair just aint cute. so i cut the kids hair (he's begging) we asked her to get it cut so i think she trimmed the side burns and called that good. i asked her agian to get it cut, she wouldnt do it. so i trimmed his hair, not as short as he wanted, but at least less skankified, ya know!

I am not sure what my role is or should be with SS7. I feel like a babysitter most of the time but my DH wants me to feel like a parent or an equal. He says he's making a conscious effort to make me feel like an equal partner in the parenting, but I don't. Is there any thing I can do to feel like more of an equal with SS than I do?

My DH has had real issues with my name lately.... I was married before (briefly) and it was a horrible relationship and lasted less than one year, but when we divorced, the lawyer wouldn't put it in the paperwork for me to get my maiden name back which is what I wanted to do. She (the lawyer) said it was dumb to change my name back so wouldn't put it in the papers, I had already paid her. My DH made his BM keep his last name for the sake of the kid *she's gone back to her maiden name after the 2nd divorce finally* but why do men freak out about it.

I got picture forms for SS (1 for us, and 1 for BM) I stopped by her house (She lives on my way home). I wanted to see SS and so did DD2. BM actually felt bad that I didn't get to go to the hospital with SS. I am amazed!!! DH actually told her that I was unable to go to the hospital due to scheduling conflicts which was completely untrue because I had arranged my schedule so that I could go and he told me he didn't want me to go. BM actually felt bad for me, moreso than DH did. BM made SS hug my daughter because she was so upset about his surgery.
