Baptism Update
DH got to talk with bishop about the baptism. Bishop agreed that ss8 should go to church a few more times to be better educated about the religion. First I have to tell you that DH was contacted by the church not the other way around. All he did was tell his opinion which isn't that ss shouldnt be baptized but that it should be done later in the year. Second BM is so pissed at DH because he caught her in a bunch of lies. Like for example that the bishop that there was no dad in the picture. Also that both parents have to agree for the baptism to happen.

Pulling the Plug on Communication with BM
DH and I have made the decision to have no communication with BM except for medical issues, important functions for skid and exchange plans. She is so unbelievable about everything and she uses anything topic to insult us or lie/manipulate situations.

baptism
DH and BM are mormon. DH isn't active and up until 1 month ago BM wasnt's active either. SKid is turning 8 this week and that is the age when mormons can be baptized. BM despite DH disagreeing is going to have skid baptized next weekend. she could care less what DH thinks and won't even compromise having it done at a later date when skid has attended church more than just 3 times.
what is your take on a situation like this? DH basically has primary custody of skid yet BM has skid 3 sundays out of the month.

POLL: Would you put an 8 yr old on airplane alone?
Would you place your 8 year old child on a plane alone to see the other parent? Little plane...16 seats, two pilots and no stewardess? Sometimes other passengers, sometimes being alone?

Baby Poop 101
I'm a first time mom to a beautiful girl and also a stepmom to an 8 year old. My question is to all moms about the changes of color of baby poop. BD has a grey color to her poop. I give her formula and rice cereal and have started introducing her to bananas, sweet potatoes and applesauce. She is about 4 and a half months old.
When should I really freak out and what is all normal? I sometimes loose it when it comes to her because I love her so much and she is amazing.

frustrated frustrated frustrated. did i mention i was frustrated?
BM drives me up the wall.
the first thing this time is she wants to buy MY daughter a xmas present from stepson. she brings it up to him not he ask her. she doesn't need to buy MY daughter anything. we can buy stepson the gift for his sister. BM should have NO part whatsoever in MY daughters life.
Acting as your own attorney
How hard is it to defend yourself without an attorney in the family court system? we have spent almost $30,000 for skid and it's probably not going to end

Stepson Behavior..New Baby or BM?
My stepson is 8 yrs old. I came into his life when he was 5 yrs old. He was a good kid and liked me around. Then BM came back into his life regularly about a year later. She has him almost 40% of the year now instead of just 2 weeks. DH and I had a baby in July. Since he has come home after the summer with BM he has been lying, acting very immature and not doing what he is expected to do and back talking. We just recently found out that BM has been having him lie to DH about where he has been going during the day when mom is at work.

Life Flashed Before Our Eyes
BM insists on dropping stepson off on the side of the highway when it's our turn to have stepson. She will do this at any time of the day and any kind of weather. Last night we went to pick stepson up. A semi truck going 70 plus mph was basically in my backseat as I had to pull of the road to get stepson. If there happened to be more cars in the other lane he would have completely smashed in the backside of our car. BM doesn't understand or doesn't care that this kind of situation is very dangerous.
