DH has not talked to SS18 the Golden child in almost 3 WEEKS. DH is livid because SS is talking about hating college, and we know it's 99% because of his Jr-in-HS gf back home. SS is across the country and has a ton of friends, is in a frat, and this college is amazing for his major. There are HUGE opportunities that he could never get anywhere else. But, a month before he left for college he decided to get super serious with his gf here. WHY. Prior to that they would go weeks without seeing each other.
OSD28 just walked into the kitchen, started rummaging through our refrigerator and pantry area and took a BIG chunk of my homemade breastfast bars then started to walk away with it. DH called after her, "Those are homemade" to which she replied "It looks like it" and then closed the door.
Byatch!
Does she know she is getting under my skin? Lord have mercy, this one is going to be the death of me. I'm not saying anything to DH. No "thank-you," no, "They're so delicious I can't resist ... thank-you so much!" This woman child needs to leave!
Happy Monday, dear friends.
Today, I have been single for ten months!! And I'm happy to report that I've finally turned that corner into full acceptance of my reality. It's a peaceful feeling - not feeling the pull to know anything about my ex. I find it uninteresting and can easily redirect my focus, if a thought of him crosses my mind or I get curious about what he's up to. Meh (That's for CLove). I'm finally at "meh."
My birthday was last week - 58 years! Only 4 more until retirement - I hope.
I have decided this year I'll be taking a much needed step back from getting SD 15 a lavish gift. She already sent her Christmas list to DH in which she asked for her usual lululemon outfits, skims and such. I think DH gave her cash last year since he opted out on giving her skims and that stuff. Of course, SIL loves to spoil her with lululemon since SD was about 10.
Hi everyone. I created a post a year ago then wrote to admin to have it removed from fear of what repercussions to come. I am so scared to make the right choice and do not know what to do first.
I've lived with my fiancé and his 2 kids boy 8 girl 7 for 2 years, though I've known him/his family since I've been 5. His house is a few hundred feet from his mom and dad of which employ him, babysit, cook, cut his lawn (you get the picture).
Please read history blogs to see what I'm facing. Hubby will not change. He works most of the time we have sd unless it's the weekend. Saturdays are a break cause he takes her to hockey for approx 6h a day and I'm home with the 2 Littles. But I guess it's not a break really, just a break from them.
A few weeks ago my SO told me his family was having Thanksgiving on Saturday the 23rd. He said he didn't want to go, though, because his mother would still be visiting family out of the country. His brother and his wife are best friends with his BM2 and really screwed him over by feeding her information on her last ex-parte attempt. So he said he wasn't going.
In my last blog post entry I discussed how DH and I were in the process of going no contact with MIL. We have gone (mostly) no contact since April with a few slip ups on DHs side entertaining her threats (like she's going to get us evicted from our rental, take custody of SS, get DH fired) and harassing him via texts/calls. Since then, she has been blocked on both of our phones and social media accounts. MIL has tried other ways to "get to us" through sending gifts to the kids through BIL or trying to relay messages through her boyfriend to provoke us to let her see SS.
Yea low I got use to BM dropping SD 15 on anyone she could every single holiday . For weeks at a time and dodging spending time with her child for thanksgiving or Christmas. It was always the excuse " well I'm not doing anything so she would have more fun with you guys" well now that SD 15 is old enough to voice her thoughts turns out that NO she would rather not spend the whole holiday with us and I was shocked ( well not really) that SD only come around on Christmas Eve for about 3 hours to collect her gifts and go.
4 more hours and DH and I are off the next two weeks for Thanksgiving and his birthday week.
Been pretty busy trying to get it all prepped. We went from having 6 of us to 20 since SS26 is now engaged and her family is all coming here. Wish us luck LOL
SS21 surprised DH with 9th row tickets from the bench to see his football team play. Paid the entire trip for 4. We were so shocked, but we think his girlfriend is rubbing off on him and he is finally thinking about his future and putting in the work to success.
