Let them go or force to stay...

Flying.Purple.Step.Monster's picture

So Skids (SD11 and SS12) cannot behave in public. DH took them to the mall and they are pushing each other into other people in the mall. So he yells at them. He does discipline most of the time luckily. Now they want to go back to their moms. I should have kept my mouth shut but I told them that they don't get to decide that. That there is a court order in place. They think they have it so bad.... we spent tons on them for Christmas and my parent's and brother spent tons on them for Christmas.

Making me the bad guy again

So DH's mother gave each of the 3 kids (SS12, SD11 and BS3) $25 each for Christmas. We agreed to put that money plus the $50 she gave to DH and I towards our season passes for the amusement park next year. These things are $125 each. BSs is a little cheaper since he can get a junior pass. But we're still talking over $500 for the passes and she gave us $175.

We've talked about SDs Skanky Bathroom Habits... no how about Step Sons....

I'm about ready to tell SS12 that he needs to start sitting down when he pees! He can't seem to hit the target. Plus he leaves the seat up! Sad I know it's a common male thing... growing up we had a small bathroom with an electric baseboard heater next to the toilet.. couldn't run the heat because it would make the room smell like piss.. not sure if it was my brother or my dad causing that issue though.. (maybe both)

OT - Thought I Successfully Got Out of Seeing MIL for Xmas

So DH asked about Christmas sometime back. I told him I already committed to my parent's for Christmas. Now he says his mom wants us down there on the 20th. I despise this woman. She is mean, nasty and only cares about herself. The skids don't really want to see her either. She is always finding ways to say that I am a bad parent. When BS3 was 6mo she said I was spoiling him by holding him so much. ?!?

Tempted to shut off the wi-fi this weekend....

It's skid weekend. SD11 and SS12 are good kids. But all SS12 does all weekend long is sit and text on his iPod. It's not an iPhone so he has to have a wi-fi connection for it to work. I'm tempted to shut the darn thing off this weekend. I guess I really shouldn't care what he does.. he's not my kid but I get sick of seeing him in that same spot on the couch all weekend. Plus I have a feeling that he texts BM over and over and over again. We don't really have too many problems with her anymore... no nightmares compared to what others on here post about.

Another DH divorce decree nightmare

Ok so he is supposed to pay for half of all medical and school related expences and it says 'payment is to be received 15 days after notice sent'.

She waits 6 months to send us a statement but expects us to pay it within 15 days? Just got a statement going all the way back to February! $500 bucks worth of stuff.. yeah, so I can't just squeeze another $500 bucks out of our budget within 2 weeks.

She waits 6 months to send a statement in my mind means we should have 6 months to pay her!

Missouri Child Support Question

Ok... so DH pays child support for his 2 kids 11 & 12. The divorce decree says that he is responsible for paying for half of college costs. Does this mean he will have to pay child support AND college costs at the same time?

I see that it says "When a child reaches age eighteen, if the child is enrolled in and attending a secondary school program of instruction, the parental support obligation shall continue, if the child continues to attend and progresses toward completion of said program, until the child completes such program or reaches age 21, whichever first occurs."
