Monitoring skids online, what do you do?

I've been searching and searching steptalk to find a recent post where someone had responded with info about a program they use at home with kids or skids. They had posted a link and had talked about how you can also monitor them real time and from other computers. I can't find that post:(
If that was you or if you remember that post can anyone direct me to it?

We've had enough in our home. Seriously. Nothing works. We use parental controls, time limits that shut the computer off automatically, blocking websites, etc.

Thank you!!

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all those who responded to my postings today and my other recent post. I have been a long time lurker (visit several times every day) for the past 4 years at least. I have sat back and watched countless "dramas" unfold and arguments, but I always come back because the experiences, advice, and even the vents have always helped to just read.

I usually don't really post at all because I'm just not good at it and don't really feel like I have much to offer or am not as gifted at this type of outlet as many of you are.

Here we go...update on flights. Ugh.

At the end of this is the email DH sent to BM. Her response today is this:

"Before I answer any of this ......I have one question to ask........how can you ask me to compromise for you when you will never compromise anything for me?"

This is so frustrating. I'm so flippin mad at her idiocy and these games she plays. She does this kind of manipulative behavior all the time. I'm quite sure she if referring to DH telling her last week that he will not agree to the kids missing school to fly out early because she doesn't ensure they do their homework.

Don't know what to do - flights

DH and I don't know what to do.

DH is custodial parent. Mom moved to WA (part of reason custody was changed).
There is NO visitation order or any order about how to handle transportation (judge left it out with his ruling).

Status quo has been they go to mom's for Xmas break. No problems there.
Mom pays for flight to her. DH pays for flight back home to us. (Even though there is no order).

Do you ask CP the tough questions?

Am I crazy to think this way?

DH was awarded custody of his two teenage kids last Sept (2009).

Mom is disabled, but never really worked much before than either. DH always paid his child support weekly when she had custody ($150/week). She constantly harrassed both of us for more money, that his kids weren't his priority, that he needed to pay more for every thing under the sun (extras - school pics, clothes, medical bills despite what the court order said). And he did pay a lot of extras.

Money jar/incentives for skids

Hi there. I've been a long time lurker and I feel kind of guilty that I'm only a reader and don't post. I'm a stepmom to a 16 year old and 13 year old. My husband was awarded custody after many years of garbage and after custody trial last year. Kids are with their mom for the summer (she moved to WA after custody was changed). They will be returning here in less than two weeks.

After our first year (last year) with two teenagers full time in our home, DH and I have been talking about different things to try with them.

Going crazy

I'm new here, but have been lurking for awhile now. I think I'm just about to go over the edge dealing with my husband's ex. We just took her back to court for a modification, DH got everything he asked for and more. Even BOTH attorneys basically said she was an idiot. Didn't even have to go in front of a judge, both her and our attorney got her to agree to everything. Mostly because we had a ton of evidence and she had none.
