I told him. FINALLY. I feel so free.

FH thinks I don't want him disciplining my child (BD4). This is not the case. It is true that I am constantly telling him to BACK OFF. However, I would not mind him disciplining her, if everything that comes out of his mouth was not always negative. I told him this weekend that I cannot do this anymore. That yes, maybe I overcompensate for his nasty attitude by going easy on her. That with his child, he has the patience of a Saint, and with my child he has NONE.

Children deciding whether or not to comply with visitation...

Okay guys, I saw on another post where many kids these days are deciding when and IF they will even go to the NCP's for visitation. We are beginning to have this issue with my FSD(10), but vary rarely, only if something cooler is happening at BM's house. Now, my BD(4) has just begun visitation with my Ex EOW, from Friday after school until Sunday at 7 p.m., many times she doesn't want to go. She has been visiting on this schedule since April, at her Paternal Grandma's house, where she has spent a lot of time and is very comfortable.

wondering if i was guilt parenting...

Okay, last night we had my BD(4) AND FSD(10) at the house. During dinner my daughter ate most of her food, but didn't clear her plate, and FSD ate all of her food. Well about an hour later, we were all hanging out (me, FDH, BD, and FSD) and FSD got down a huge bag of candy and started eating it. My daughter asked for a piece and FSD gave her 2 pieces. FDH laid into me about how I could let her have those 2 (tiny) pieces of candy when she didn't clear her plate.

Please advise me. . .

Don't know if I have ever felt this hopeless about my future with FH...I need y'alls help! (Yes I said y'all, I AM from the South!) At this moment I am miserable...my FH quit his job in June due to a lot of reasons I won't get into here (incase any crazies try to read my blogs...)and I was 100% supportive, thinking he would be so much happier not having to go there every day. Well, now he is just as unhappy being at home. And it's starting to piss me off to tell you the truth. I get my ass up and go to work EVERY day, while he does nothing but lay around and watch movies.

How do I handle this??!!??!

I have offered my X every other weekend with our daughter and one night during the week, to have dinner, visit, or whatever. He has yet to take me up on the one night a week (It's been 6 weeks or so since I offered). One night last week he planned on picking her up from school to spend some time with her (she is 4). He said well since I would only have a few hours with her, she should just spend the night. I disagreed, mainly because it was a school night, and she doesn't even have a room of her own there (he lives with his mom).
