How do you handle rude remarks from the skids? SS10, since christmas, has been steadly making more and more rude remarks. They started out as pretty general, something along the lines as asking me what was happening in a movie, or what was in a meal ect and ending with a remark along the lines of your wrong and you don't know what you are talking about. Looking back I am sure he was testing boundaries, but I did not want to fall into the evil step monster catergory so, against my usual nature of standing up for myself, I have let the comments roll off.

}:) the skids are gone back to their BM's for another week and I am happy!!! Hubby and I both work shift work (swings) and I happen to have weekends off at the moment so when the skids come its mostly me watching them. Thanks to CS we currently live in an apt with a really snarky downstairs neighbor that calls the police to make a noise complaints at every loud foot step (luckly we know the police and they just laugh at the situation). So long story short the skids have to be quiet and I feel bad for them for that. The last couple days I have ran my butt off doing stuff with them.

Hi guys, I could really use some advice. We have had on going issues with the ex leaving us out of the loop on important info. Unfortunatly, she is the custodial parent so that seems to mean to the school, sport coachs ect that well....we don't live on this planet. I know that some dad's are not involved with their kids but my hubby is, all the time. We are always at the school and sporting events, and he does everything within his power to be actively involved in their lives.
