- MIL out of town for 1 week, YAY

Anyhow, DH and I are really getting along well lately too. Ever since he told BM to piss off and stop calling him, seems like we've reconnected in a big way. I hope it lasts... I know it will be great the next week since its just us and his dad at home. cross your fingers for me. I think I might even go home for "lunch" today. Wink

Can Anybody help me with this?

BM is planning to get Sd from us tomorrow, her attorney sent ours what is supposed to be her occupational driver's license. Our attorney noticed the license was first faxed at 11p.m. Monday night to her attorney by AUSTIN BAIL BONDS.

Question is, does anyone know a reason a bail bonds place would have someone's occupational drivers license?????

My understanding was she had to send the order from the judge that granted her occupational license to the main DPS office in Austin to process, then they would mail it to her if approved.

I'M THE VICTIM! NO EMPATHY FROM DBF

DA's picture

I just had to get this out or I feel like I'm going to explode! Went to counseling last night with live-in DBF. We began counseling over 1 1/2 ago. It has come to a point where I had to set a major boundary with his 2 daughters to not be around me or my son any longer. They live full-time with their BM and my DBF sees them and spends time with them on the weekends and during the week. The two daughters have been emotionally abusive towards me and my son for years.

Since my BS's birth, I find I really resent my SD

For the most part, my SD6 and I have had a good, loving relationship over the past 4 years. Three weeks ago I gave birth to a little boy and since then I find that SD is completely getting on my nerves. She's being really sweet and is very excited about her new brother and wants to help with everything. I just don't know what is going on with me but I am finding it difficult to have her around (she's with us 3 days a week). I find that I've stopped making eye contact with her and have to bite my tongue to keep from saying obnoxious comments. Any insights? Anyone had similar experiences?

Wedding bells for BM

Ok so I want to hear stories of whether or not your situation with BM improved or got worse when BM got married. Little background for those who don't know me. DH and I have been married 2 1/2 years. We have my BD14, SD11 and SD6. DH is primary custodian for his 2 and my daughter is with us all the time. BUSY!

Anyway, we've had crazy times especially in the beginning but this year has BY FAR been our best. Boundaries set, I disengaged from BM a while ago and only DH deals with her...it works for us.

Time for Court

So my soon to be SD is now approaching the age of 2. And seeing how her life has changed since I have come in it about nine months ago, my fiancé and I have determined it is time to take the BM to court. It really isn't about him wanting to see his daughter more, he sees her pretty much every day. It is mainly about the lack of structure. As it goes now SD is with us Thursday thru Sunday and during the other days while BM is at work. If fiancé is at work at the same time as BM he has to arrange for some sort of child care and pay for all of the costs.

Blended family - quinceanera or wedding - who walks SD/daughter down the aisle?

Has anyone attended a quinceanera (like a sweet 16th but for Mexicans)...it's basically like a wedding...or a wedding where the parents were separated? Maybe each parents has already found a significant other or not. My SD already told me that she's expecting my husband to walk her down the aisle, and that her mom wants to walk on the other side. My husband told me that he won't do it because I'm his family now...and so is SD. But I don't know if he'll actually have the balls to tell SD that and if BM will pressure him into doing it.

Has anyone seen the movie "Enchanted?"

Mrs Katch 22's picture

I haven't seen it. SD saw it...she said she didn't like it. Normally she'll elaborate on the story and why or why she didn't like a movie..but she couldn't explain why for this movie. She said it was something about a stepmom, a bio mom, a son, then the daughter finds another man to marry who has a daughter from a previous relationship...

Has anyone seen it? Can you explain the family dynamics and possibly why SD didn't like it? I'm assuming a lot of the characters hit home ...or just disturbed her?
