The weekend is over

sassy_half's picture

I made it through the weekend, barely. Not too many arguments, kids just tried to play us parents against each other. I really hate when they do that. Then on Sat night the kids BM calls, she wants them on Sun around noon, and of course my husband bends over backwards for the witch. So since my husband is at work at this time I have to drop what I am doing to run them to her house cause she can never come get them. Is it normal that my husband bend over backwards for the EX? Sometimes it really bothers me. If he ever wants to have an argument with her it is usually through me.

Today my son turned 12 :-)

Well today was an awesome day. My son just turned 12 years old, I am 31 so we had a really great day. He got a lot of nice gifts and his bio-dad, who has not been involved until recently called him to wish him a great one and promised that he would be seeing him soon. So, overall it was a great day. This time of year is really busy for me & the family. With Christmas, then my son's birthday in Jan., and my other son will be turning 1 in February. Thank goodness it's around tax refund time.

I really thought we made it...... :(

I have just had the "rug pulled out from under me". I have posted on here how my husband & I have custody of SS, and that his EX is crazy. Well BM has gone beyond that now. I got a letter from my lawyer today that nearly killed me. BM & her husband, my husband & I were assined a parenting coordinator after we got custody of SS, because the fighting between BM & my husband was so bad, they would harrass us, we would get angry back,etc... So I figure, well now we got a "babysitter" to keep things at bay.

We got the court summons today...

I'd like a little backup on this...I'm not really all that upset, partially because I knew it was coming, but I'm still uneasy about it. BM has been asking me for weeks if we've gotten any "paperwork" in the mail...I don't know why she does that. I guess she just wants to hear for herself from us that she's screwed us yet again...like a sick, masochistic pleasure thing. But at any rate, what she was eagerly anticipating finally came to us today - the subpoena for a hearing over BF's contempt of court due to back child support.

What hurts....

I take my step-children to school and pick them up from school every day but Thursday......What hurts is on Thursdays when their mom picks them up.....they pretend they don't know me as they walk past me to get into moms car.

Can't wait for the day this will all change...

Mother in Law has a HUGE picture of Birth Mom & Dad on living room wall

Hi Everyone,
My hubby's mother has this HUGE picture of him and his child's mother on her living room wall. It really drives me bonkers every time I go over there. The picture was taken well before his son was born. His son is 6 now. She has another picture of hubby, mother, and son but it is in the foyer with tons of other pictures, that one doesn't bother me much. She has pictures everywhere of the family and she does have a small wallet of hubby and me and a small picture of her and my mother (taken at our wedding).

Any Grandparents out there?

I've decided to do some worring about future events!

My BF and I plan to marry and not have any children of our own. He has 4 already and 3 of them are young adults. I am wondering what it's going to be like when his kids start having babies of their own. I don't have a lot of interest in having children but worry that I will feel the sting of jealousy (or maybe I won't be jealous - but happy!).
