Lie after lie after lie...

:jawdrop: This is the worst thing that could ever happen... If you have been following my blogs on here, you know that my skids' BM is in a relationship with a man who physically abused the skids.

Well, back around November, she declared that she was leaving him, moving to Texas and starting her life over there. We thought, "Wow, does she finally care about the kids?!"

Shady Bitch!

So, my mother calls me today and tells me for the past week she has been hounded by debt collector phone calls asking for my husband's ex-wife! WTF??!! Why are they calling MY parents?! The only way they could have my parents unlisted home phone number is because, somewhere, she used it as her number. But why?! What should I do to help my parents and destroy the bitch at the same time?

On the verge of a rampage!!!!

I could seriously buy a plane ticket right now just to fly out and strangle BM!!!!! We have gone an entire month with NO child support!!!! She is so worthless!!!! I'm 2 weeks away from having another baby and I'm having to be more worried about money. She has no f'ing clue how much it costs to raise her 2 kids. Their school lunches alone cost us $120 a month. They have therapy, doctor visits, my SD needs surgery in San Diego.. My husband makes good money, but my Skids come with a lot of odd expenses and they are accumulating right here with a new baby on the way.

Need some advice from Custodial Parents

Okay, so my step-daughter has been having severe difficulties with her behavior. It has become a worse problem in school. Just in the first 2 weeks of school, she has had multiple notes sent home and has had 2 trips to the principals office. Her therapist, the school faculty, and my husband and I think she needs to be screened for ADHD and possibly medicated.

It's finally happened

Well, Bio-mom has decided not to pay child support. This is the first time she's done this. We don't know what we're supposed to do. Do we just keep track of what she owes? Can she be arrested? My husband tried talking to her about it and she just says she needed the money for other things. How can you force someone to pay their child support?

I can never have it easy

No matter how hard I try, it is never good enough. My biological daughter turned 1 year old Monday. She is my first, so, of course, I went a little over board on her presents and her party. My mother came in to town to give me a helping hand. She also brought back my step-kids who have been gone all summer. Of course, my daughter doesn't remember them and we're having to get them both to get used to each other again. I was made to feel guilty because I wasn't trying to teach her about her half brother and half sister or trying to get her to learn their names.

Can breathe a little easy

Well, the kids' visitation with their bio-mom is finally over. Thank God we only have to put up with her for 18 days/year! These were the longest days of my life. Every day, my stomach stayed in knots wondering if the kids were fed well, clean, and safe. In the 18 days, she destroyed the kids' cell phone and didn't keep them clean. My in-laws picked up with kids from her and they both had heads full of lice. I'm not trying to sounds like being a parent is easy, but WTF?! How hard is it to just do the basic care of 2 kids for 18 days?! That's it!!

Carrying All the Weight

Well, this is my first time blogging, so bear with me if I seem to ramble.

I have been a step-mother for almost 4 years now. I have a unique situation. I have been more of a 'real' mother to my step-children than their biological mother.

My husband's ex-wife left him and their 2 children for another man when the youngest one was 6 months old. Not knowing what to do, my husband went to live with his parents with his 2 children until he could figure out his next move.
