I'm asking for prayers and good vibes to be sent my way.
SS's mommy called about renting a house RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM US. Apparently, the house may already be rented and she's waiting for confirmation of that. Please cross fingers that it is.
It's been a couple of days since I've written down any lengthy thoughts. But I have viewed and written comments in others blogs, as I have virtually relived some events many times over in reading your sites. So, I empathize with many of you.
The problems with daughter & Dad began when he got a girlfriend 1 1/2 yr ago now(moved in with thier Dad a few months after the kids new about her). Partly because "Dad" time now had to be shared with this other person..but more-so because HIS behaviour changed.
I'm coming at this from a bio-mom point of view..based on what the kids tell me and my own observations....
Initially ..the kids really really liked Dads' GF....son still does.. daughter has mixed feelings..(I think she likes her but is also jealous of her)
Well I just messed up! It was stupid and immature, but it felt good at the time. Now I just have to live with the consequences. The ex just drove my place of business while I was out getting the mail and on instinct my middle finger went up as she was driving by and while she was looking at me I happened to call her a female dog. Anybody else ever do something dumb and regret it later?
I really think the 13 yr old is more mature than her father!!!
The kids Dad...just finished blowing them off for his July 1st long weekend..to party with his buddies..as usual.. They are just as happy hanging out with their freinds, too... I've told him in the past..."You've taught them over the last 4 yrs that it's OK to blow-off visits for your social life...dont' come crying to me now to fix your screw-ups!!"
Well I'm not sure whether to be happy or what. We still ended up having to pay the bitch from hell $6412.00 but I guess that's better than the orginal $14,000.00. She was caught in lie after lie, but yet the judge still ruled in her favor for one year of child support, which was the year after the SD turned 18. I don't understand it, but I guess some laws have changed that alternative schools are included and that's what the judge ruled by. But now we heard her tell the assistant DA that she would be filing some kind of charges on medical bills.
Went to see the movie "Click " with Adam Sandler.
Talk about wedding nightmares. The boy's natural mom remarried but danced with her Ex to their special song.
Can this happen in real life?
I'm sure a child's wedding brings up many hidden feelings.
But.... Can you imagine?
I need some womanly advice that is not necessarily related to being a step mom…I was wondering if any one else can relate to this…For some reason I sometimes “create” situations in my mind and build them up so much that they have to be “proved wrong”…I don’t know how crazy that sounds but that is the best explanation that I can give for what happens…for example….I can call my husbands cell phone and he might not answer…I’ll try back later and still no answer…instantly my mind might go to a worry situation depending on the circumstances (i.e.
Well, I have been still looking for a job but everything is so far away. The gas prices keep going up, and we are at least 30 miles from the city where most of the work just starts. Life around here is mostly focused on agricultural farms and manufacturing work which pretty much leaves me out. I can't drive a tractor and I know nothing about industry. I am really trained for the wrong vocation around here. It gets to be pretty frustrating, because available jobs are so few and far between, and I'm not local. So, you get turned down before you even step thru the door.
I know it sounds selfish, but I just hate the thought of having to give up the majority of my summer to babysit (because heaven forbid we actually call what we do "parenting" - for fear of riling up the X). Summer was a lot better this year than it has been, but it is still not something that I look forward to. It is not the stepkids fault and they aren't even bad kids, but I would at least like to have the choice to say that I would rather not give up my summer this year...Any thoughts on this?
