Something Odd...

Nymh's picture

BM asked BF if we could keep SS next weekend, possibly overnight, because she has plans. After all the horror that she caused not even five days ago over this very subject, I'm perplexed as to why she'd ask us to keep him for an additional overnight the following weekend. Usually she would just have her parents watch SS. I haven't heard so much as a word from her since all the trauma she caused over Christmas visitation. Do you think maybe she's taken the last few days to think about what she did and realize that she went about things completely wrong and that things need to change?

What is your Step New Year's Resolution?

Most of us have our own personal resolutions, but do you have any resolutions that relate to step or blended family life? Possibly something to do with the ex or the skids? Maybe something that you personally want to work on within yourself that relates? Or perhaps something that you think could use some work between you and your spouse?

Back from the Attorney's

BF said that our only problem right now is that we're not married. Even though they were separated for so long, because they've only been divorced for about a year it would be considered "inappropriate" for SS to cohabitate with BF and I in the same home. The lawyer told him that if he does get more custody, and we aren't married then either BF may have to spend the night elsewhere with SS or I may have to leave and sleep elsewhere. Spending time during the day together would be fine, just not while sleeping.

Holiday Update

I feel like we've narrowly escaped a disaster. I sat at home yesterday sick with frustration and disappointment when my BF called me 20 minutes after he was supposed to pick SS up to ask for the number to the Sheriff's office. BM had no plans of letting SS go on the three-day-long visit if she could help it.

My Christmas Wish

What I want for Christmas is for us all to have as stress-free and healthy a holiday as possible. Our fist overnight visitation is supposed to be coming up next week. We're supposed to have SS for three days and two nights. BM has already talked of plans to not let SS come or things that she can do to try to prove that BF isn't fit to have him for overnight visits. I really just wish that she will leave things alone for once and let things happen the way that they're supposed to. No one needs the additional stress around the holidays that she could potentially cause, especially SS.

Worried...we may be going to court soon.

BF told me some bad news today. He got another letter from the state board of child support enforcement today. Apparently he may be taken to court soon for contempt over the child support situation. They told him that he may receive a summons in the mail or a deputy may be by soon with papers. I don't understand...we're paying as fast as we can, even paying twice in one month sometimes just to try to catch up. He called the state and they told him that he can try to appeal and get the hearing waived...Ugh. I'm worried. This is so stupid. What do we do now?

Ridiculous! Just frickin' ridiculous!

Warning: LONG read! Well, visitation was the other day so you know I've got something to vent about. BM called SS on his cell phone, and he told her that he and I were at the house alone and that BF had gone to the store real quick and would be right back. Apparently this is some sort of criminal offense or something because BM went ballistic. Answer me something: is there anything wrong with SS staying with me for a few minutes while BF runs to the store? Well, none of us thought so but BM felt differently.

Just read over parenting plan myself...suprise suprise BM is full of ****!

Since the divorce, BM has been touting certain rules about visitation, residencies, etc as fact. Come to find out she's been full of it the entire time. I don't know if she thought that we were too stupid or if she thought that BF didn't care enough to read over the parenting plan and that I'd never get access to it...but I found a LOT of discrepancies from what she says and what the REAL plan says...

Disheartening conversation with BM

I had a conversation with BM today which has left me down in the dumps at best. While I try to take the things she says and does in stride, I was genuinely concerned with what she said this time. We were discussing what progress had been made regarding the situation, and of course she used it as an opportunity to start an argument though I asked her kindly not to. Here's a transcript:
