Has anyone done the social study thing before?

southernshellgirl's picture

Bm's mom beat her up and tried to move back in w/ her. My DH filed a restraining order which was in effect until the hearing where she claimes she is now living w/ her ex-fiancee's mom, but hardly any of my SD's things are there because the house she's staying in is for sale. My DH and I hope the person who does the social study will see right through her. She is completely unstable. She seems to believe that because she is temporarily staying in a $400,000 house she will be seen as the one who should continue to designate SD's primary residence.

Ladies I need your advice/support today

Hi, Tonight my SK's are coming for the weekend. I haven't seen them in a month or so and I'm really nervous about them coming.

In short, they are good kids but have become a little confused, with mixed messages about life. (we all know about that one) My SS didn't do well when my daughter, now 2 was born. He said he didn't like babies but I think he was afraid of losing his dad. Anyway, we gave him space.

the breach of orders hearing...

QUINJAI3's picture

well today was the breach of orders hearing and it went very quickly as bm is saying she needs to find funding for legal repersentation even though she had a lawyer present today so a bit confusing she did this last time kept stalling the proceddings with continualy excuses that she needed more time to get stuff together and it eneded up draging stuff out by months. so basicly today the hearing has been ajourned til december due to bm needing more time.

Where to begin!

Wow! It has been such a long time since I have posted. I just looked and I haven't posted any updates on my life since May! And I can add that it definitely does not mean because my life has been pretty quiet, that's for sure. I pop in from time to time and scan through the posts and try to keep up with the folks that I'm familiar with - I see lots of new faces and names! I hope you guys haven't decided to kick me out of the group for neglect! Work has been really busy and just continues to stay that way.

Isn't that some BS

So BM wants SS to play sports, and yeah that is great but we are not paying for it. Yeah it seems mean but DH and I are not rich people we are middle class with a son of our own. SS lives with us and BM is suppose to pay child support I say suppose to since she hasn't paid in over a year and 1/2, she chooses not to work. Over the summer she signed SS up for 2 summer camps but then did not send him and did not bother to call the summer camp place and now she is sticking us with the bill because DH is the responsible parent, the bill is $600.

paternity test?

new evil stepmom's picture

sd is 13, i would like a paternity test. how can i get dh to get one? should i manipulate the kid into wanting one? i think it is unfair to everyone for dh to continue with his secret. bm had a threesome when sd was conceived and bm also had several bar-time sexual partners around the time on conception. sd does not look like dh and dh has very low sperm count.

any advice?

my thoughts and ideas on the feminist aspect of being a step-mom.

Susanna's picture

I've been thinking lately about why it is that step-mom's get such a hard time. I sometimes wonder if it's not indicitive of the general disregard our society has for women's work. A step-mom reminds people that the Mother divorced the father of her children (however willingly) and another woman fell in love with that man. Since many parts of our culture still frown on divorce, it's somewhat natural that step-mom approval ratings would be low.
