I haven't been on here since I was a step-mom and now divorced. I figured all my Step Friends can tell me what I did wrong. Went over to new BF's house Sat night. He has a boy 12 and girl 10. It was actually third time around kids, second time at his house. I got there around 4:45 and he was rushing around picking things up and then had to jump in the shower for all of us to make mass. (I'm not even Catholic) Girl 10 was so rude. She sat at table eating cereal and wouldn't even look at me. I tried to talk to her but she completely ignored me. Church was fine.

This probably should go into the legal forum but I want as much help as possible. Husband and I are divorcing after 3 years. We now have a 10 month old together which I have temporary custody of and he has very limited visitation. He has a 8 year old from previous marriage that was with us every other week. I just found out that husband is now going to claim I was abusive to his son and his son was afraid of me. I took care of his son every summer since I was a teacher, school holidays. Got kid ready for school every morning, rushed home after school to get him off bus.

I am currently going through a divorce with a'hole husband. We have a 6 month old. Yes only 6 months!!!! I got temp physical care of child with him have very little visitation. Every other weekend from 9 to 6 on Sat, Sun and every Wed from 5-8. I am sticking by the order 100percent. Last week I got a couple of emails from him saying his work schedule will change and he will be working extended hours. He would like to arrange something that "will benefit" our daughter. I flatly replied, "you have given me no specifics as to how this affects your court order visitation."

I had a baby in August. SS of 7 is with us every other week for a full week. In the beginning SS was real excited about her and would give her attention and be concerned of her needs. Lately the tables have turned. SS has gotten real needy. I understand that every kid probably goes through this phase but now it is rubing off on Dad. yesterday SS was over the top. Dad had to get his full attention. And Dad gave it. I am yet to hear, Not now, baby needs fed. Or baby needs diaper changed, you get the picture. Whatever SS needed, wanted, etc....Dad was right there to give it.
