Best stepparenting books?
Which ones were the most helpful to you? (non religious-based)
I'm also looking for books to help me understand others reactions to stepfamilies; how to be effective in setting family boundaries
Thanks!

Santa came already for kids
In all the other hullaballo, I forgot to mention that my fiance's parents got time from his ex again this weekend. We offered them time on Dec 23rd to come to our new house and bring the kids their gifts. They never responded to our offer of a couple of hours, and instead had the kids this weekend. Not such a big deal in the grand scheme of things but they gave the kids gifts from Santa. On Dec 16th. I have posted before about my opnion of having Santa come 1 night early. What the hell are they thinking pretending that santa came 2 weeks early.

I can't win
We had a long talk with my fiance's parents. I am so exhausted, tired, angry and fed up with them. They sat and blamed me to me face for every problem that has occurred between them and my fiance since his divorce. Their whole defense as to why they go to his ex is that they can't trust me. That I keep the kids from them and convince him to.

Tonight is the school Christmas Program
I can't wait to get dressed up with my honey and go see the kids perform. They have been talking about it non-stop. His company party is later, so we will have a great date night and not even have to worry about a babysitter!
I think I am finally getting into the holiday spirit.

I am bracing for the feces to contact the oscillator
I sent ss back to his mom's today with a ziploc bag containing a dirty sock,a pair of dirty underwear and a note that says they don't belong to him. I told SS that we don't do other people's laundry at our house. He informed me that BM's BF "got them mixed up" I told him that if he knows it is not his, not to wear it. (He knew the stuff wasn't his)

Crazy thoughts
So, if we win the lottery tonight, can BM get ahold of any of it?
We would finally have enough money to drag her ass through court for EVER

I told the kids their mom was rude today.
It totally slipped out. She has started suggesting things for the kids to watch on tv while they are here on our weekends. She has done this several times already, knowing that we don't watch tv very often. Even when the kids aren't here we aren't big into tv shows. We love our DVR!!!

Should we give them our new address?
My fiance's family is pretty much not speaking to him at all. We just moved to a new house. His brother was our landlord at the house we just moved from. He's not speaking to us either, except in landlord capacity. Our cell number and email addresses are all remaining the same.
So, should we bother giving them our new address and home phone? I don't see any need, and frankly I wish we lived three states away, but my fiance thinks he should just volunteer it all.

Fiance needs to confront his parents
Things with them are just going down the toilet. He has asked them to stop asking the ex for time. They keep going around telling everyone that will listen that he never lets them see the kids. It is a flat out lie - they NEVER ASK HIM. They have lied to him about asking the EX and now he is finding out about it. Somehow they think it has something to do with me. He has tried over and over to explain that he only gets half the time he used to and it just isn't possible to let them see the kids as much as they used to.

Chocolate Therapy
I highly recommend Vosges. They are hella expensive, but sometimes that is the only thing that will do.
