Literally. So baseball is just starting for the kids & BM signed herself up to be an assistant coach for one & is heavily involved in the older ones team as well. Each year they have little league at the ballpark, because of our new staduim & scarcity of tickets each kid can only bring 1 parent. This event is on our weekend. She emails Dh and syas she would like to take the kids & could she have our weekend & next weekend which is fathers day ( DH gets them on sunday) he could just have them the whole weekend.

Ex Etiquette Tips. If you need a few tips and some ex etiquette advice, we’ve got a few to help you with a smoother breakup. First, do not invite your ex to your wedding.

There is no reason for your ex to be there. I actually know someone who asked their ex to give them away. What were they thinking? Second, do not call your ex, with whom you do not have children, to check in. Allow your ex to move on with his or her life, and you do the same.

why is common sense so hard?

So tonight at dinner SS13 told his dad he wants to play rugby after school which is a 6 week program which starts right after school & games can start anywhere from 3:30 to 5:30. DH's custody time is between 4 & 5:30 mon, tues & till 8 pm Thursday. BM of course said she was fine but his dad had to approve as the 2nd half.

Why are we the bad guys

when you point out that the kid has out & out lied? How is that picking on a kid. SS almost 11 recently got glasses, 2 pairs. W/in 2 weeks the expensive pair that had flexy hinges for baseball were broken. We only learned this when we asked why he was wearing the other pair. The bow supposedly just broke while he was just sitting there not touching them in math class. The same class he just fell out of his chair during the class for no reason ( neither parent seems to wonder about this because he has a 97 in the class so this stuff is okay).

SS almost 11 and his irresponsibility

Just for thos that don't know my situation, I am not someone who vents about the kids or hates them. I have a great relationship with them & love them, however the youngest who will be 11 next month is a challange. Since BS almost 4 was born we have had multiple incidents where he has almost harmed his brother. When BS was a new born there were multiple times where he has almost kicked him in the head while screwing around in the house after repeatedly being told not to.

This moron will be my skids SF someday

Last night DH tells me that BM's " fiance" (They have been together for 5 years engaged for 4 & will not get married for at least 9 more years ) had sent SS13 a picture of Tweety Bird smoking a joint to his phone. WTF is wrong with this idiot. We have never been really impressed with him before but this kind of clinches it. I asked Dh what he was going to do, he had SS erase it & explained why it was inappropriate. He is not going to say anything to BM about it. He figures she would just tell SS not to share things with Dh rather than admitting that he great catch is an idiot.

Happiness & Joy, honestly were you happy before?

I am doing some soul searching these days, trying to reclaim who I think I once was & who I would like to be. Have I always been unhappy but just less unhappy & miserable than I am now having been zapped of all my resilance, & energy by my husband? My husband claims that I am just a miserable bitch who has to have someone to blame for my unhappiness, it couldn't be his lazy soul sucking draining me of any resiliance I may have.

Disappointed, again

Our BS 3 1/2 asked if he could take swimming lessons, so I signed him up, Dh knew this. He was supposed to start yesterday, but it was pushed back to the 7th which is good because SS10 had his Blue & Gold banquet last night. Dh sent me last week this big list of the skids upcoming activities & his oncall schedule & some Dr's appointments. When adding them to my calendar I noticed that SS10 has conferences the same time & day as BS's first lesson. BS will be alone in the water ( no parents) something he has never done, only an instructer & the other kids.

Hey ladies, I am still alive & kicking. I am just way busy at work these days. We are closing out the business that I have worked on for 7 years and starting a new venture. They are also a lot stricter about screwing around on the internet. The kids are great, their mom is still a controlling pain in the butt at times and I have things I would love to share but just never have the time to do so. Dh & I are doing pretty well, both are super busy with work. BS3 is growing up so fast it, and is such a joy for us.

Love this!!!

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your
self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
