SS wanted to come w/me & my daughter to join my family's halloween party. we don't have him on halloween, so i told ss that i would ask his mother. i never got in touch w/his mom, then ss told me that his mother said he cannot go to the party because its a school night. he would have gone trick or treating anyways at his neighborhood, what the hell is the difference? i was going to invite her too, didn't mind if she came or not.

how was that like in your situation, did it make things better or worse? did you talk because you wanted to clear the air? just wondering....

I can't stand the fact that ex kept my husband's last name. Is anyone here irritated by that too? Is it mainly for the sake of the child that she had to keep the last name the same as the child? Ex left my husband, I was thinking if I ever left a man, I would change my last name back to what it was before I got married in a heart beat even though I had a child that carried his last name. Or better yet change the child's name and hyphenate w/my name & exhusband's name.

I'm really upset, stepson is so lazy! I asked him to clear the dining room table the other day and he did such a half ass job! He was afraid to touch the dirty dishes and scrape the food off the plate into the trash. Then he left half the stuff on the table and didn't even wipe the table down. Then I find food on the ground next to the rubbish! UGHHH! I made a comment to stepson and I said, "What are you afraid to get your hands dirty? Don't do you do any chores at home?" He didn't say a word. I told my husband, You need to teach him how to clean, he is SLOPPY!
