My husband bends over backwards to help out with his son and daughter with his first wife. Lately, it has gotten to the point where the ex does not take any accountability for her actions or any real responsibility for her kids. Last weekend was supposed to be her weekend, but my husband took his daughter to a church lock-in on Sat. night. Then, he took her back to her Mom's on Sat. around Noon and bought her lunch on the way over there. Then, he got a call within an hour of dropping his daughter off at her Mom's bcs they were in an argument.
Not looking for advise, none to really receive, just another blog to show how dumb bm REALLY is.
No offense intended to Pac. NWerners but nearly everyone I interface with from up there is incapable of making a decent decision and many struggle with being decent people even to family members. The SpermClan and most of my I-L's have a tenuous grasp on decision making at best.
My wife is in to her third full day of a four day visit with her family.
The I-L drama:
Would I be over stepping my boundaries if I sent SS to school with cookies to share with the class on his Bday? Although we usually get SS every other weekend, SS has been staying with us for the past wk & a 1/2 bc BM said his behavior at school was not good & she didn't know what else to do. SS birthday is this Thursday & last week I told SS I would make him some treats to share with his class on his bday. (I thought it would be fun, since I remember how much I enjoyed my mom sending me to class with cupcakes on my bday.
Ok me and dh are kinda thinking about having another baby, but we really wanna think things through.
do any of you know how it will affect my taxes each year i mean right now i have 2 kids i claim so if i had three to claim how much would it go up?
i know it probably sounds like i'm being money hungry or something but anyone who knows how expensive kids are knows this isn't the case! i am just looking at EVERYTHING before we make this decision.
If anyone knows anything about this please let me know
thank you sooo much!
My skids get on my nerves even when they aren't doing anything wrong. SD14 looks just like her ugly-ass mother and I know she can't help it, but it really really bugs me. I don't think it would bother me so bad if her mother were actually a good person. Of course I would never tell my SD or DH my feelings about this; there's no sense in hurting their feelings.
But it's also their mannerisms that drive me nuts.
ok so dh finaly talked to bm about our only being able to talk to skids for 3-10 min each time split between them, she said "i only have a certain amount of minutes that's not my problem unless ur gonna pay my bill" so dh made the suggestion of getting a land line bm shot that right down so he said "add me in as one of your friends n family so the phone calls wont use up your minutes".. so she called the next day and said she added us on her thing but only the land line and if we call from our cell phone she wont answer she doesnt care.
Need to vent! I am in the process of disengaging from Step kids as a result of previous good advice from others on this forum and I have to say I feel so much peace in doing so. It is; however, still difficult to watch these adult stepmonsters continue to manipulate their father and others.
Hello,
I'm new to the forum and just looking for a place to be able to vent and get some support. I've been dating a man for a year now. He moved into my house in July. He has a daughter 6 and son 7 from a previous marriage. I'm not sure I know what I'm getting myself into. Sometimes I feel like I should just run away.
We drove almost 30 minutes to meet BM, who just walked right across the street from her boyfriend's place. (I'm sure BM thinks she's sooo clever for "tricking" us into this arrangement. She spends most of her time at her boyfriend's place, which is sort of the half way mark between where she now lives & where my husband works. So on weekends, we have to drive an extra 15 minutes because it's from our house, not where he works & she doesn't have to drive at all because she's already there. My husband is so dumb for agreeing to this, but he didn't want to fight over it.
