Thoughts on "Hot Saucing" as a punishment?

Submitted by SteppingUp on Tue, 09/07/2010 - 8:22am

BM uses tabasco sauce or vinegar to punish the skids. If they are bad, they get a spoonful of either. Has anyone ever heard of this?

I just don't understand him. It is impossible. Right when I think we are over this crap -there it is again and again...and again...

Overstepping BM?

Submitted by micheles on Tue, 09/07/2010 - 6:57am

So, Friday night FDH and his kids arrive at the house (FSS 11, FSD 9) and all seems fine. We are expecting to have company arriving tomorrow for the holiday weekend.

FSS flipping me off and FDH does nothing!

Submitted by windee on Tue, 09/07/2010 - 6:42am

I am so sick of this! Yesterday FSS went with his best friend and his family to a baseball game until 6:30 p.m. He and his friend wanted to go bowling and we said NO. FSS kept asking FDH why?

FSS17 did not even acknowledge my birthday (and yes, he knew it was my birthday).

Would this make you feel liberated?

Submitted by StepAside on Tue, 09/07/2010 - 5:39am

I have a non-existent relationship with my 3 grown SD's. They used to be quite hostile to me, so we've made progress.

How my step-parenting began

Submitted by krenee86 on Mon, 09/06/2010 - 11:57pm

I guess I should start where it all began. I met my man two years ago. It was a very strange situation. He was living with his ex girlfriend at her parents house with their son.

Too nice...somethings up.

Submitted by unbelieveable on Mon, 09/06/2010 - 8:45pm

So after five days of crazy BM NOT allowing the fsd's to speak to FH and us recording it - and the fact that of course she let them speak to evil FMIL - she finally let them return his call on Friday.

DH's father wins 500 000 + in British Pounds

Submitted by Katrinkie on Mon, 09/06/2010 - 7:55pm

This equates to about R6 million after costs.

All DH's father could rummage up for DH is R150 000.00.

Now as we are married, by law, half of that is mine.
