We all talk about pased skids here, but did anyone here go through pas as a kid?

I did...ironically, it was my stepmother attempting to pas me from my own mom. But I never gave what she said much weight because I knew the truth.

If you were pased, what did you do differently than the pased skids written about here? Was your behavior different?

Did anyone watch the Dr. Phil shows this week?

I didn't get a chance to- but they look sad. Not that most of the stories that are on that show aren't sad, but these stood out to me. Hopefully I'll be able to watch them in entirety on Youtube or clips of them somewhere else.

The one about the angry stepdad stood out too. There are obviously things the mother could do to better parent her kids, and help them. But I really feel for the SD with intellectual disabilities. Her SF should not be ridiculing her anywhere (if that is what happened).

The exchange of information about skids

I know many of our DHs share joint legal custody with BM. Therefore, they'll both need appropriate medical, schooling, and activity information.

Given how high conflict a lot of these situations are, maybe it would be best if the school, doctor and coach emailed/mailed each parent the info instead of one parent having to make copies of it, send it, and get it to the other parent. Yes, it will mean that the school, doctors office and coaches will all have to have copies of the court order. Maybe one parent (often NCP dad) will have to wave it in their faces repeatedly.

What would you be like as a MIL

I just read another blog about a nasty MIL. So it got me to wondering what we all would be like as MILs. Especially to DILs due to a second marriage.

I don't have bios but if I did, I think I'd be a good one. I would make an effort to get to know and include them. Doesn't matter whether they're the first, second, or third DIL I've had.

This topic seems to come up here a lot.

You can't force someone to love or like someone. You can't force someone to love your/other kids as much as they love their own kids/grandkids.

I had step grandparents growing up. They didn't include me in everything or treat me like one of their grandkids. I wasn't included in everything. And my parents and I were ok with that. We were all cordial to each other. That's it. I think it helped me to realize that the world doesn't revolve around me. Life is not fair and nobody can be included in everything.
