No wonder they're such spoiled brats

YSD just turned 10 a few days ago, and BM's gift to her was an Android Tablet. Are you freaking kidding me? She's TEN! BM has already let her have a FB account for a couple of years because she "likes to play the games." Uh huh. And she also posts statuses on it and reads all her adult "friends" statuses. We don't allow her, nor my BS10 or SD12 to go on FB at our house (SD14 can), and all the kids are limited to an hour on the internet per day (we have a program that monitors their website visits and time logged on).

I can't stand this bitch!

Today is SD9, now 10, birthday. We used to do all the birthday parties together with BM, always at our house (because in BM's words, we had the bigger, nicer house (um yeah, we actually CLEAN our house) and conveniently one aunt is very allergic to cats and can't be in BM's house). It was always a drama production of who was doing what, who was paying for what, she always wanted to provide everyone with a ton of food, we wanted more low-key snacks, cake and ice cream, etc. But we always did it this way for the sake of the kids.

Why can't it be this easy??

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?

CS question

Since there has been a lot of talk about CS lately, I was wondering if anyone knows CA state law regarding spouse income. I have searched the internet but cannot find an answer.

Don't know how long I can handle this!

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.

Hi everyone, I have been a member for a while but have really only read others posts and haven't posted anything myself. Reading the posts on this site has helped me on so many days to feel like I'm not alone.
