That kid had potential

"It's a shame. That kid had potential"

A phrase you often hear when a exceptional youth is taken from this world before his/her time. A phrase reserved for the unusually talented or intelligent. 

... and apparently for the cocaine using, girlfriend beating, cheating, bartender boyfriend of his daughter, according to DH.

Driving Miss Daisy Powersulk

Quick update, and hope you all enjoyed eclips-ing. Several photographer friends got some relly incredible photos and one even did a time lapse series that was jaw dropping. I gardened and planted and enjoyed not watching it.

Thanks for the advice - a resounding series of Dont Do Or Say Anything To Powersulk or Husband about Driving Test, Even If Its Only To Help.

Have I hit the nail on the head? Dad trying to block kids from coming over on his week

Yesterdays's picture

To me it seems like my kids father is trying to block my kids from coming to my house during his week.. By telling them they can't have the car overnight or in the evenings. I think... He wants them strictly week on week off with no variance 

I posted previously about my 17 yo daughter getting her license. Her dad seemingly buying them a car to use. Him saying it's going to be a game changer for our driving problems.. Save some drives. The girls thought the car was mostly for them.

"Third time this week"

Went to an estate attorney yesterday to tighten up my will and put the rentals in a revocable trust.  Of course I came on my own as Chef wouldn't like the details on my will. LOL

The attorney was very nice and she completely understood how I just wanted Chef to have life use of the house and not any access to any of the other assets since he arrived on my threshold with nothing but the shirt on his back and I basically paid his child support for almost 20 years as well as his room and board.

Step-Parenting with a Disneyland Spouse

I got into a heated debate with one of my relatives (mind you her 2 stepkids hated her because she was VERY strict and ended up leaving to live full time with their bio mom so she only had to stepparent for less than a couple of years) who said "once you marry your spouse you HAVE to be highly involved with skids and help your spouse as they request" 

Driving Husband insane...aka Drivers License hijinx

Just for amusement's sake I thought Id post about the latest and greatest concerning Powersulk SD172monthsfrom18.

Just to get things straight right away - Im definitely not relishing this in any way...Ill repeat that at the end, if you get that far.

So, last week PS was at Toxic Trolls house, and for some reason NOW is the time she decided she can get her permit. Probably because she wants a job. Just a guess.

TT and PS go to DMV. Too late, they are closed. They make an appointment.

2.5 Months - staying the course

Happy Thursday, friends.

Big news for DD30. She finally met her boyfriend's parents and it couldn't have gone better. Her company builds batteries for missiles and the BF's mother asked her "Is that bad for the babies?" LOLOL If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is. DD30 has been given the greenlight to visit the parent's house anytime, but only the first floor! LMFAO. And BF's dad is coming to our house Sunday to install a Tesla charger at cost. They have really welcomed her with open arms. Both DD30 and BF are very relieved.

Another hospital stay, still no contact

Merry's picture

DH was admitted to the hospital last weekend. There is every chance he will come through this fine, but also likely that hospital stays are part of our new normal. I was looking at him laying in the hospital bed yesterday, and he looks like a frail old man. That can't be my DH!

So in a way I understand the skids' denial. That doesn't stop the march of time though.

I have not contacted them, and to my knowledge DH hasn't either. He has posted his situation on social media, which they both use. No response at all.
