My stepson ALWAYS comes first with my husband...

steptoaaron's picture

I'm so tired of being second place. He's not a young child. He is 17! He was 13 when we married. My son had always been his and his brother's "pal," rather than parent. I had concerns that we'd have parenting issues. My husband assured me we wouldn't. Well...we did!!

DH & I got a letter from his "Pen Pal"

His Pen Pal so to speak, is DCSE, Division of Child Support Enforcement.

WHY? Because he's in arrears. Why is he in arrears? Because he was JOBLESS for a couple weeks. Being jobless means, guess what? NO PAY...no pay means...child support is going to be delayed until a new job is secured. Then, when a new job is secured, the pay is NOT automatically going to appear in a checking account. Which means, it takes at least 2-4 weeks before said payday gets credited, because you gotta WORK before you get PAID.

Dealing with the family..

I really wish I were the type of person that could take things and not let it bother me. But it does.. When people say something mean to me I really take it to heart.. I have allways thought that if you were nice to everyone that they would be nice back but am finding out the hard way that it is not like that at all. My fmil says terrible things to me, and I just sit there and take it... I love him but cant take this anymore.

A sad day....

Hi, this is my 2nd blog, I don't know quite how to start. I have a SD14 and have been married to DH for 12 years. Although we don't have full custody we have her everyday after school until BM is off work, and every Sunday for church and such. Well, the past month SD has realized that she isn't liking it much over here at our house. I have to say it is because around that time we noticed her grades slipping and DH and I were always making sure daily that her work was being done.She is now failing, because she refuses to turn in her work and is becoming a class clown in most of her classes.

The SpermIdiot Clan Strikes Again

This evening my wife calls me upset because SpermDad and SpermGrandMa call ranting that the kid has Swine Flu .....

Which is absolutely not true. The Skid has Viral Syndrome with Flu Like Symptoms. There are a couple dozen kids in the school infirmary with the same stuff. Most have been tested for H1N1, none tested positive.

why do bm's think that because they exisit, they get to define the boundries for sm and dh as man and wife?

this is really so annoying to me right now!

for example, most wives will speak out of turn and answer a question for dh with out thinking, but if bm is present we lose that wife ability because they dont like it.

like most wives, i have been doing the ground work for getting a list of Pre K places so dh can look at them on his day off, because hes working. but because its for ss, bm expects that dh should do it him self and if i help im over stepping! heaven forbid i help my husband and be a supportive wife unlike the cheating whore she was!

The lengths she will go to to get rid of him

Wow, I am just...speechless.

SS's Fall Break was this week & half of last week. DH has asked BM if she wanted him for the entire break (we've been working a lot of overtime lately and it would be almost impossible to find childcare during that time) and she actually agreed. Which is what she usually does. Then she gets tired of him after the first few days and dumps him back on us.

every time i give bm the benefit of the doubt that she cant possibly be that stupid, she has to prove me wrong!

ok
example one:
dh gets papers that bm is seeking full custody with right of refusal of dh's visitation if i would be watching ss4. She actually is so stupid as to have her first couple sentences in her statement read, "every thing was fine with custody arrangement, but respondent remarried" then in seeking more cs, actually states that she needs more money from my dh because she fears her disability is running out. ummmmmmmmmm helllllllllloooooooo, GET A JOB!!

I hate it when DH talks down to me -same as BM!

In a conversation today with DH...he started talking down to me ..very similiar to how he talks down to BM. I put up a stink about it & he told me that he totally meant what he said. Basically, he told me that he is angry with me for cutting our grocery budget. I may have cut our food budget (just like everyone is doing in this recession) but I have been cooking my butt off. It is very disrepectful of him. I didnt mention that his budget has increased..he's going into credit debt to pay for beer, trips to see SD at college & various other extras we cant afford.
