I'm sure many of us on this site over the course of our step parenting years have felt like crying over the things that our step children say to us and do to us. My ss counselor told me that I should just let him do it and should not show my feelings on the subject. In my opinion, and my husband agrees with me on this. I think he should see when you makes someone feel bad. How else is he supposed to learn that people have feelings and that you should think about other people's feelings.
Not to whine, but I feel incredibly lonely in my relationship with FH. I don't know how to expres it entirely right so I might be rambling... I am lonely because he is physically not around for 4 days because of the work schedule, but even then, I need the hour or so I see him...I don't care if the skids are there or not, I just need to have him there so spend time with and just his physical presence.
But, then again, I would have been on here like every 5 minutes. Now, it is just too late. So, my kids and I put in paperwork to go back to active duty military. They are very excited about it and I'm getting very excited about it. We have no family close so nothing to hold us here other than the mortgage I share with DH. Since, I told him that I put in the paperwork, he has said no more than 5 words to me each day. He is more concerned about what the dogs are doing than me or the kids.
BM finally called BF back this morning and gave her consent for SS to go to Florida with us this summer. She said that SS had a couple of "stipulations" and put SS on the phone. SS said that he didn't want to go to Disney World again and he didn't want to have to share a bed with his Granny. Thankfully we have already made arrangements so that neither of those things are going to happen! Truthfully we booked this vacation at SS's request so he already knew where we were going and that it wasn't Disney.
No, not my wedding anniversary... I was just looking at my account info here and noticed that I've been a StepTalk member for 1 year and 1 day.
So Happy Anniversary to me, and anyone else who joined when I did. Thanks for all the support over the last year.
Keep your fingers crossed! I'm currently half way through my MBA program, and I also have a Masters in Social Work. I have worked in the Human Services field for the last 10 years. After BD was born, DH and I agreed that I would stay home w/her for a few years since DH made a great salary at his job. We had it all figured out and then BAM, DH got laid off. He now is earning one third of his previous income and his career prospects are slim right now (he's a pilot).
Skids in my home don't want anything to do with having a family camping trip or anything else for that matter UNLESS: there is jet skiing, tubing, friends to play with, their gonna get something etc. A little insite: we are going camping with my parents and brothers. Skids are suppose to go to their BMs this weekend. They were told they could go camping if their BM said it was OK. First question out of SS and SD mouth is are we going to tube, jet ski? I said I don't know. So then they call their BM and ask what are we doing this weekend?
At least the meeting didn't talk too long. It was only a little over 1 hr. I guess the ex doesn't want to pay too much out of his pocket.
He was so nervous and basically said about 10 times the same thing....I love my kids and would do anything for them. blah blah blah
I have had them since Aug 08 full time and the mention of CS that is when he hires an attorney. I didn't have any stipulation in the original decree that I wasn't allowed to move.
This is an issue DH and I have disagreed about for years.
He feels they should acknowledge our anniversary. I don't because it often falls on BM's time. I don't want them to have to endure her wrath for acknowledging it, especially for doing so on her time.
Does anyone know anything about hyperthyroidism? My doctor has said for a little while that she wanted me to get tested for a thyroid levels b/c she thinks mine is hyperactive. I do have some symptoms but nothing that affects my life, that I notice anyway. So I went and got my labs done yesterday and I was reading up on it too. What I read scared the crap out of me. That it can cause bone and heart disease if not taken care of, etc. etc...
