BM is dumbest person in the world!

So a couple of days ago I went to the bookstore just because. While I was there I spotted this book about being a step mom that looks interesting, "The Courage of being a Stepmom" so far I really like it. Anyways I leave it out on the counter this afternoon. BM come to pick up SD2 at normal time and the book is still on the counter she sees it and freaks out. She starts telling me I have no right to read this book. That me and BF are so selfish that once we break up we are going to scare SD forever. Hello lady, I can read whatever I want.

In need of help

I have a question regarding income tax. My fiancé and his ex have 50/50 custody of their daughter. When she was born they decided to switch every other year who would claim their child. That way in the end they would basically get the same back. Anyways so this is the 2nd time they are going to do it. BM filled child on her taxes the first year of daughter’s life. The problem is now it is fiancé’s turn to claim their daughter but, she has told him that she is going to claim their daughter because she needs to get a new car. Is there any way that he can stop this?

Time for Court

So my soon to be SD is now approaching the age of 2. And seeing how her life has changed since I have come in it about nine months ago, my fiancé and I have determined it is time to take the BM to court. It really isn't about him wanting to see his daughter more, he sees her pretty much every day. It is mainly about the lack of structure. As it goes now SD is with us Thursday thru Sunday and during the other days while BM is at work. If fiancé is at work at the same time as BM he has to arrange for some sort of child care and pay for all of the costs.

Can she do this?

So my bf's ex told him yesterday that she was going to move and take their 2 year old daughter with her, saying that she needs to be by her family meaning her mom. However, they have never gone to court to determine who has custodial custody. So my question is can she even do that? She has thrown out the idea of a month at one house and then a month at the other. But that can't be good for the child, right? Then when she starts preschool the ex presumes that their daughter would go to preschool in her town, meaning that she would have given herself custodial custody.

Christmas Time Conundrum

So my BF’s daughter, let’s call her SD for now, is 20 months old. I know that she is too young to really get the Christmas thing but I still want to make the holidays special since it will be the first of hopefully many for our little family. Anyways what I was wondering is what do you do for a 20 month old on Christmas? I don’t want to get her too many presents because she is already getting spoiled by grandparents, family friends, and maybe BM. But do you think there is such a thing as not enough presents.

Is this feeling ever going to go away?

So I am six months into my relationship with my bf. He is so wonderful and although we are getting serious fast it feels right. I love him so much. We both think alike so it makes things go smoothly. And I love the fact that he is the most amazing father I have ever known. He is so close to his daughter. In fact that is what initially attracted me. And his daughter is the cutest, funniest, smartest 20 month old I have ever met. She is amazing! And she liked me right away. So what is the problem? Her crazy mother.
