Just bragging! Dh switched last weekend forthis weekend with bm. This year is also her year for spring break. So ss won't visit til April. Woohoo!! I'm so excited to actually be able to relax in my own home on a weekend! Even better, I'll get TWO weekends in a row where I can relax! We have no big plans this weekend but I know one thing, it'll be quiet and relaxing since ss won't be here to fight with the bios. And dh will be more at ease since he doesn't have to be 'cool dad' all weekend. TGIF!

So I have an uncle who lives across the country. He visits my mom once a year and we usually go to mom's and visit with them a few days while they are visiting. Last summer my uncle invited me, dh and bios to visit them in the summer. I haven't been there since middle school and dh has never been, so we got excited and considered going this summer. We hadn't talked about it much but now my uncle wants to know if we are going so he and his wife can be off when we're there. Well dh wants ss to go. I have told dh it isn't appropriate because 1- ss has never met my uncle!

So this is just me thinking 'out loud'. So most of us can't stand the "you knew what you were getting into/ knew what he had" type phrases we hear. My own mom told me that yesterday and it started a discussion. Yeah, I knew he had a kid. She says I had a choice. Here is my background- dh and I dated for about a year. (years after dh and bm broke up, btw.) We were mid-twenties. I was wanting to find someone to settle down with when we met. Until dh, I had never dated anyone with kids. In fact, that was an immediate 'no' until I met dh. During that time I had very limited time around ss.

First off, I got busted on here! Friday dh caught me on this site. I don't know how much he read from my friday's post, but enough totally make him mad! We argued an I told him these are my private thoughts. He was furious enough to scare me as to what he'd do...I thought he'd read all my posts-yikes! I almost deleted my account. He calmed down eventually but still brought it up today about me 'getting advice from people who don't know anything.' but I don't think he'll read any of my posts or get on here. We'll see.
