Please give me some advice and opinions. BM has us in another tight spot.

So Bm was supposed to have her Occupational drivers license and the interlock device installed in her car before she could begin extended standard visitation with SD. Until then she had supervised visitation in our home three days a week. My stupid trusting self, took BM's word that she had her license when she showed me a reciept that she paid for it in November, and showed me the instruction manual to the interlock device. I am so STUPID!

Probably not much to do with this site, but...

...my mother finally told me that when I was an infant I was in foster care. I knew I was born sick & in the hospital a couple days with my mother there the whole time. Seems I was sicker than I thought. I was in the hospital for about a month & in foster care for another month or so, until I was healthy.

Christmas Eve

So my 21 year old and 23 year old SDs got a bit bent out of shape that I asked they not open anopther bottle of my wine...they already had beer and wine both and we were settling down to watch a movie they would be into...chosen more for them than the 3 younger boys to "please them". We always watch a family movie on New Year's Eve, and frankly the oldest usually gets in a pout. Well, now she was because no more wine and I said no to car keys.

Christmas

My mother came up for Christmas and my daughter is here for most of the week. Its so nice not to have to worry about whether the ex gfs kids are going to throw a fit or when. Its nice not to have to worry about whether they will like what they got or throw a temper tantrum. Shopping for my daughter was much easier than shopping for three kids. My mom's presence has offered a calming influence on the home. Cookies and bratzels and the smell of other baked goodies fill the air.

I hate christmas even more now

Sheesh...why can't one ex at least take the high road? I really wish I could be blogging about good things in my life on this board...BF and his ex just NOW are fighting over who gets SS which christmas day...because BOTH are too immature to talk to each other without getting into a pissing match...and yes it pisses me off...cause it involves my plans that we had already made two weeks ago...so once again since she "plays dirty" he has to play dirty too...am I the only parent who has an ex that DOESN'T act all stupid and immature towards their ex?

Hurt feelings

Nicky's picture

Hey everyone...I haven't posted much, I'm still a newbie and haven't told my story yet, but will soon when I have the energy because it's long. Anyway, my DH was recently laid off and he has been having a hard time making his bills. After his CS is paid, there's not much money left over. So as you can imagine, it really put a damper on our Christmas. We had to tell SS10 that we couldn't give him the presents he wanted, that he wouldn't be getting anything. We had to borrow money from my mom to help make the bills this month.

Will calling the police do me any good?

Last week I noticed an odd charge to our checking account. I was for 29.99 from some company in care of another company. I went to the bank and did an unauthorized paper draft, and then went home and called the companies customer service number. It turns out that who ever did this knows us because they used my DH's name and our checking account information to buy porn online!!!!! I went to the police and they asked me if we know who did it, and I told them no, but I have an idea who might have done it.

Christmas Schedule

I'm so pissed off that my blood is boiling!!! BM or (C U Next Tuesday) was we lovingly refer to her has done it again! About two years ago it was DH's year to get SD11 for the first part of Christmas and BM's for second part....well BM's mother wanted to take the grandchildren to Disney World. Now first I have to ask....how selfish was that of her? At any rate, DH made BM sign an agreement (not through an attorney) that she would give up her next Christmas (which was last year) so that DH could have her. Well this year it was supposed to go back to the regular schedule.
