I have been married for about 1.5 years to a man with a daugther from a previous marriage. She lives with her mother and visits us on designated breaks. Her mother is a very "hands off" parent who would rather ignore her daughter than raise her. When I married this man, I informed him that I, by choice, did not date men with children because I detest...no..HATE drama created from the dynamics of the parental bermuda triangle. He told me that he was civil with the mother and promised no drama. What a crock. That is all it has been.
Well, a few days have gone by since my last post. I was glad to see that the site was down and it wasn't a problem with my computer. .) Yesterday was my birthday and anniversary but we didn't really do anything special. And today my husband snapped my head off again. Just like any other day. So what's the point. And then I found the alternate blog site my step daughter was using only to find out that her mom's BF had been calling her a bitch, and her mom agreed, but that was okay. And they still got the support money. So, I guess whatever floats you boat.
We had really bad storms in our area on Sun. night and the subsequent power outage kept us down until last night. Hopefully, we won't have anymore problems but it is that time of year here!
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused anybody!

Well, I have been marking time. It's just a few days away from my birthday and anniversary which are purposefully, both on the same day, the 3rd, so my husband, can't screw them up. 
I was reading the comments in the posts about wills and stepchildren, and interests, and such. First, I will just say, you need to do whatever fits your own comfort zone.
DH and I have been discussing wills. As we are trying to have children, I want to leave my estate to my children, but HE wants me to split it equally between our kids and his two kids. I don’t think this is fair because then the older two will be 'double dipping' as they will also inherit from their Mother, whereas my/our children will only inherit from ME.
It has been pretty smooth sailing lately (shh, I'll jinx myself). We still have not had my boyfriend's daughter since the last explosion with biomom, my boyfriend, his daughter, and me throwing my 2 cents in. My boyfriend's daughter finally called her dad on Monday and left a message (not really sure why). He called her back while I ran out and he said she was really friendly, so I feel a little better that the lines between them are opening, although I don't think they have discussed any of the real issues yet (her unacceptable defiance and disrepect when in our home).
Two years ago, Sweet (my Dear Husband) found some of my jewellery in my stepdaughter's over-night bag.
Since then, various other pieces of my jewellery and other small mementos have gone missing! SD9 has also been known to shoplift. (With her Mother allowing her to keep the goods!!)
Well, Dawn, especially, I know that you are going through a lot of what I have already done. These days I am here in GA, home alone with 3 dogs-albeit, one puppy with a broken leg which I certainly hope is on the mend because he is getting mighty heavy to carry around.
Sometimes I think that it's really hard for women to get men to understand that they are from a completely different planet. My husband took a situation in which I was having a bad day and for some reason could not figure out how to step in as a friend would normally do, and ask, what do you need me to do for you? For the life of me, I just can't understand, how he can't figure it out. So, I do find it very challenging not to completely lose my temper with him because I have been at home with 3 dogs and painted part of a fence and then come back into the house.
Well here is the story. My fiance wants to move his daughter (14) in with us. My daughter (12) and his do not get along. She hasn't lived with him for seven years. She lives with her so called mother that puts boyfriends before her childs care. Spends all the child support we pay out over 100 a week on herself. The kid looks like a bum. Although I feel sorry for her I myself find it hard to be around her because she has this attitude and I don't wnat to be a party to it in my home. The hosue is mine , my name and all but I love him dearly.
