Skids and cell phones in school

Anon2009's picture

3families blog got me to thinking about this. Cell phones have been a blessing and a curse.

If you find out that your skid is using their cell phone in school but mom and dad won't do anything about it, call the school. Tell them that you think Susie/Johnny may be using their cell phone in class. Maybe it'll encourage their teachers to walk around the classrooms, keeping an eye out to see if anyone is doing something unrelated to that class.

Unfriend and block them from facebook. Then you cannot see their notifications.

Inspirational Message I got on FB today...thought you could use it too

I think it definitely applies to a lot of our step situations...

"Vengeance only begets vengeance. It is a destructive cycle. But when you forgive, you inspire change in both yourself and the other. Forgiveness has the power to transform people and create better world for all."

Parents need to do more to help their kids navigate through the minefields that are divorce and remarriage.

Like StepAside said, there are conflicts of interest. The kids are mourning the loss of the family they had and the fact that it's permanently gone. They're mourning the fact that there's now a new person in their lives that they didn't ask for.

Visitation and phone calls

Bulllet's blog got me to thinking about this. When we only had EOW visitation, they weren't coming to see me. They were coming to see dh.

When they talked on the phone, they weren't calling/answering to talk to me. They were calling and answering to talk to dh.

To be blunt, I didn't want to talk with them. I wanted and want them to have as much time with their dad as possible. I'm not a doormat to them, and don't tolerate them being mean to me. But I think so many of these sks are hurting, and will open up more about their problems if they just talk to their dad.

How would you feel if anything were to happen to SKs and/or BM? How would DH feel?

How my DH would feel about BM- He wouldn't miss her but he would be devastated for his kids. She is still their mom and they still love her.

How he'd feel about SDs- He'd be beside himself with grief.

How I'd feel about BM- I wouldn't miss her but I wouldn't be happy either. She's still a human being, and she's still the kids' mom. I would be sad for them.

How I'd feel about SDs- I'd feel horribly.
