So I met my ex, his wife and their 2 year old son today with my DS10 to get him a passport. They are taking him on a vacation next summer out of the country, and both birth parents had to be present to get the passport. While the paperwork was being done, pictures taken of their family, etc, we casually talked and were pleasant to each other. I have few issues with my ex and I love his wife who is a great stepmom to my son. After the appt was over, I left feeling like why can't it be this way for the other side of the family?! Why does my skids' BM hate my DH and I so much?

So DH started his second job a week or so ago, which means he is out of the house on weekday afternoons/evenings. For his main job he works from home so he is usually here to help with the kids to some degree. It is necessary and we both discussed and agreed and worked out schedules and rides so he can do it. BUT it is driving me crazy!! His kids are here every Monday and Tuesday, along with my BS. These days are becoming my hell! My mom helps get the kids from school because I physically can't do it all.
