In the child support agreement DH has, he has to pay for half of daycare (which is to BM's sister). They're supposed to provide proof of daycare every couple of months, but they don't. So, DH's job stops providing daycare (Dependent care account) when the kid turns 13. Has anyone had to deal with this? DH said he's going to stop paying for daycare at 13, but BM might bring him back to court. If they go back to court, he'll have to pay more in support!
Is there a cut off point or daycare?
BM actually gave in to the tax return!! I am surprised! She agreed to let fiancee claim FSS every other year...I wonder if she's feeling ok? 
Tragedy of 10-year-old mom
BY SHARON COOLIDGE | [email protected]
The baby’s birth at University Hospital on Nov. 4 was routine.
What wasn’t routine was the fact the infant’s mother was just 10, impregnated by her mother’s boyfriend.
Now, social workers are trying to figure out how to unravel the mess involving one of the youngest children ever to give birth in Greater Cincinnati.

I had a baby boy, cute little thing. He is now almost 3 mos old. He is a joy! biomom and I are in talking mode and not fighting lately. She came to visit me at the hospital when my son was born and even brought gifts for the baby. I even let her carry the baby....wondering what could she be thinking? My husband was asleep in the room at that time so he didn't feel the uncomfortableness of it all. She offered to p/u and drop off my daugther to her art class because her son goes to the same school. What should I make out of that?
I just finished my 6 page letter on Non custodial parents rights and child support. I'm going to send it to various government officials in the state, my senators and representatives, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, CNN, MSNBC, the papers in the state and the television stations here. Something has to be done. I'm only one person but maybe I can stir it up a little bit.
I have a 17 year old SD that is graduating this year. My issue is that her mother never wants to pay for anything. Right now she is not employed but she got her income tax just this month. Well she is out spending her money like she has no one to care for. I talked to my husband and mentioned to him that my SD and mother should go half on the grad ring and we pay for pictures, invited, dinner, etc. So all she would need to do is maybe pay 150-200 total, not alot of money.
I have been reading a lot in these posts about respect between us and the skids. I think I am really confused about this or really stupid. I have read posts where it will say something like, "I don't disrespect them", meaning the skids. Not long ago, my SD16 told me that she would only respect me if I respected her, WTF is that? I was taught to respect elders and not to behave like she does. What I seem to be confused with is, how do you respect someone you can't stand the sight of? Isn't respecting someone pretty much mutually exclusive with liking them.
B.M..... again is calling another hearing, over C.S. issues, the amount she is supposed to get is way to much for us to afford to cough up, we cannot modify it , because we were told we would have to wait 4 years for another modification....seriously! So of course over the past few months we are behind on what we owe, so she is pissed and called another hearing..2 weeks from now in FL. & we are living in Mass. and can't get down their for this BS. no time or $$$ for a trip like that. And it says on the notice if my DH. is not there they will issue a warrent!! He called this am.
I just had to write about what has happened since my last post! The last time I wrote that I had set my boundaries regarding my DBF's two daughter's behavior and that I would no longer "allow" them to be physically around me and my son. I really expected my DBF to tell me our relationship was over and move out...but low and behold...SURPRISE! He told me he would "do whatever it took to keep me and my son in his life". He is even showing more respect and graditude for us. WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS SOONER???! Why don't we set the ground rules immediately when SK's treat us disrepectfully?
