The last few weeks have been really hard for me in my relationship with my boyfriend...who has a 8 year old daughter. We have been having conversations about changes that have recently taken place in our relationship, most of which have been for the worse. Beginning of last week I asked him to make more of an effort to treat me how he did when we first got together. I know that things change in every relationship, but the things he used to do for me are the things that made the relationship worth working on.
I was reading a recent post and thought here we all are trying our best to save or help out step kids and to do our very best as parents. Many of us have been thrown into this and are just finding our way ourselves. Someone in one of the post wrote that we can do whatever we like but the Biomom has the power to undermine us even if the kids interest are in the forefront but because it is the stepmom it is a bad idea.
Things have been pretty quiet aorund here lately. My mind seemed to be a peace with things. Until......well, it started a week ago. My Sd is in my brother's wedding and the dress fitting had to be arranged around people in the party that are coming in from overseas. So my Dh asked the ex if we could have SD for about an hour to do the dress fitting on one of her access times. ABSOLUTLE not....do not arrange things on my access times. Really it is out of our control and I believe she is being spiteful because it is my brother's wedding.
I have not seen my ex husband in almost 4 years because he lives in a different province but he does call my son and talks to him alot which is good.Here is my problem my son wants to move with him for 1 year because he misses his dad badly he did go and see him for 2 weeks in the summer.My ex seems to have gotten his life together has got a house and has a girlfriend whom seems to show intrest in my son which is important.My dilemma is i would not see my son at least until summer when he can come and visit me.I know that a boy needs his father and it would break my heart to say no to him b
Has anyone here ever used the anonymous suggestion option on bonusfamilies.com? What type of reaction did you get, if any? Did it help at all or make things worse? I am thinking about sending the link BM's way but I have this sinking feeling that it would just make things worse. Does anyone have any feedback on this?
i have a huge dilema........my boyfriend and i are very happy together and considering marriage except for one very big problem:
Okay, *deep breath* here goes: My husband and I have been married a little over 7 years. He and I each had a boy and a girl when we got married (my daughter was 9, and my son was 6, his son was 5 and his daughter was 3).
My children were very angry and resentful of my new husband from the start. He is a very kind, loving man, and they were angry, mean and abusive after the first year, for about 3-4 years. He did not come in and 'try to be the dad' I've required that they be respectful to him, because "he is my husband, period."
And it's been a constant battle.
hey does anyone have a good recipe on how to prepare and roast a turkey? i'm really bad at cooking, an easy recipe would be great!
I really hope that bio-mom is lurking on this site. Maybe she will see herself and think what a nut case, then take a closer look and see herself and see that she reeps what she has sown. And then takes action to improve herself.
The happy ending of course is that she can start to heal so that dh's and mine family can move on and try to raise 5 well adjusted kids and offer them an example of what is a healthy relationship.
Well we are in quite the mess we went to our lawyers last night and it was a real jaw dropper.First let me explain things my husband worked last year for a company and this year he started on his own so they are basing his child support payments on last years income which this year has been harder because he is just starting off anyways the child support they are asking for we just cant afford it and they are not taking into account that we have bills a loan and a dependent my son still living in our house so our options are we either pay this amount they are wanting and leave us with just
