OT: How to find out owner of phone number
Fastest and easiest way to find out who owns a cell phone number? Even if you have to pay for it. My friend got some weird texts and wants to know who they are from.
I'm sure you super sleuths know something. LOL!

Manners... and sent YSD a gift.
I am big on manners. I remember being a kid and having adults tell me how great my manners are. I don't specifically remember being taught manners, I guess it was just part of my parents raising me. I raise my BS the same way. He is often complimented on his manners.
When dealing with the skids I have had a hard time with their manners. SS for the most part can be very polite but have noticed at times he could do better with manners.

If DH makes a demand of my BS
Sorry blog hog today...
DH and BS get along pretty well. BS respects DH and listens to him and does what he tells him. Overall BS is a pretty good kid and if you tell him to do something he does it, though there are times that you have to push BS to do what he needs to do. He'll keep trying to put it off.

Setting the record straight with the skids
How important do you think it is for your SO to set the skids straight when they are wrong?
Here are a couple of personal examples that come to mind and the "consequence" of not setting the record straight.
Example #1-
YSD is asking DH for $ for something school related and he tells her no and she says "Well you have no business helping Zero's son with anything."
Truth- DH doesn't help pay for anything when it comes to my BS. We split mutual bills but outside of that I pay for all the other stuff for my BS.

Update from yesterday's blog and what I am going to do
Thank you to everyone who responded to my blog yesterday about if I brought the skids back into my life. I got a lot of great advice and a lot of things to think about overall.
SM friend posted this (meme) on FB and it is spot on.
**Don't ever accuse a stepmom of being pessimistic or negative. Quit telling her to try harder. So often, our anger or bad days come from being let down and disappointed over and over again by waking up and thinking this day will be different. Or, that if we try this or that a little more, it will click. We give people more chances than they deserve to hurt us, use us, and criticize us. And the minute we try to defend our self or show just a bit of emotion outside of sunshine and happy, they blame us. We are the poster child for optimism and hope.
Hypothetically speaking... letting skids back into my life
Because this has been on my mind a lot. Well it's kind of always on my mind, like the elephant in the room.
This post doesn't have to do with SS because our relationship is fine or MSD because she tried to fight me so that relationship is dead and DH agrees that she crossed the line.
YSD18 stopped coming over when she was probably 13/14 years it. It was shortly after DH and I moved in together.
Would this bother you?
DH has a friend (I'll call him Jim) that lives in the area. DH and Jim used to hang out a lot- help each other with side work, work around the house, but they don't hang out as much now.
They only really became friends once DH and I got together- over 6 years ago. So Jim didn't know the skids prior to me and DH being together.
Jim does know SS but doesn't really know girl skids because they are never around and when they were coming around Jim was never really around.
