Skids and your wedding?

tofurkey's picture

I'm curious as how everyone here feels about this subject. When you got married to your DH, were the skid(s) in your wedding? Was that your choice or DH's? If you aren't married yet but plan to be, will you have skid(s) in your wedding? why/why not?

When DH and I got married, his daughter was one of the flower girls. His choice, not mine....We had an all adult reception.

At what age does "over-affection" become innapropriate?

I have read a lot of posts on here in regards to this subject. It seems to be more rampant with fathers/daughters (but I'm sure it happens with some mothers/sons too.) I read time and time again about how the father and daughter are being affectionate in a way that is not appropriate or disturbing. Daughter sitting on father's lap, "snuggling up" together, sweet talking, things like this --- at what age in your opinion do these things become innapropriate??

Worst skid visit at mil's to date....

I am so happy skid visit at mil's is over. YAY. It's funny how I can predict the exact conversations and situations that will come up, the same old tired crap.....I never enjoy skid visits, I detest them. I just sit there and put on my happy face and grit my teeth until I get through it. But this visit was extra irritating.

BM's text....like clockwork!

So me and DH were having a nice dinner tonight and watching a show. Tomorrow is the dreaded skid visit at MIL. Every time the new month comes, BM will send DH text saying "leave money with your mother this weekend." Now, DH doesn't need a reminder. He knows when his money is going to her every month, kind of hard to forget...His paycheck varies from week to week so whenever he has the $$$, he leaves it out at MIL's for the appropriate month.

Christmas Card Confusion

Sending out Christmas cards just seems like more of a hassle than something enjoyable now a days. I often get confused on what to do. For example, DH's brother has a gf that got "accidently pregnant". They have gone back and fourth always fighting and have been on the brink of calling it quits more times than I can count. Do I write her name in the x-mas card? How do i know that they arent going to be split up by the time the cards make it to their house? One of my friends has a kid with her husband and he also has a kid from his ex gf. She doesn't really care for skid.

SD carbon copy of BM?

Okay, please don't flame me I am being honest. If you guys have read any of my posts, you know that I really do not like my SD. Not for lack of trying, but I just can't bring myself to enjoy her company, or the idea of her for that matter. I'm never mean to her, i'm always respectable during visits, but while I smile on the outside during those visits, i'm gritting my teeth on the inside.

My evil plan has failed

Arggg my evil plan has failed...This weekend is the dreaded skid weekend visit out at MIL's. I starting feeling like I was catching a cold over the weekend, and tuesday it really came on full blown. I still feel like crap and was pretty positive that Saturday I would feel like crap too and then I wouldn't feel "well enough" to go out for skid visit. Plus I wouldn't want to "get anyone else sick" either }:) Well my plan was going swimmingly, but after DH heard how bad I sounded and looked when he got home from work today, dragged me down to the drugstore to get cold medication. DAMMIT!

O/T: super funny blog

Yes I know this is off topic but I recently stumbled upon something that always makes me laugh. It's this woman's blog who does all of her own illustrations. Besides this site, i'm not really much of a blog reader but this person is hillarious imo. I kind of have a sick and simple sense of humor, so not everyone may agree, but just figured i would leave the url on here if anyone needed a little pick me up! Smile

Why don't more men make sure they are ready??

Something I have been wondering for a long time and still do; why don't more men (or women) make sure that they are ready to get into a serious relationship after they've had a child with someone else (whether they were married or not because lets face it nowadays you can know someone for a second and end up having a kid with them for some reason). I know that not all BM's are "evil" but the vast majority seem unsavory.
