I think I have it pretty good :)
Okay so I can complain with the best of them and I have my fair share of problems but after reading some of the blogs and forums I think I am lucky.
I really like my SK's. Do they drive me crazy, occasionally, are they sometimes rude, yes, but they try in school and don't drink much,don't do drugs (that i am aware of), no stealing, so I think that is pretty good right.
And to top it all off we have no contact with the BM. I have had my share of craziness with her but she has not talked to DH or I for 4 years. How do we handle the kids? Well she barely talks to them too and she uses Facebook and cell phones when she does.
Wow I am feeling good today, I think it must be because the SD's x2 stayed in their rooms all night last night and left us alone. No rude comments or rolling eyes. God it was nice.

Yeah I have pretty good too.
Yeah I have pretty good too. Now I do anyway. My skids all have good grades and bm and dh are finally on the same page mostly anyway. My ss13 just won a great trip to see the US and the capital. I am so proud of him.
It wasn't like this in the beginning bm was very very mean to me and my son even trying to get him arrested and harassing what ever she could do to make our live Hell! This is just a small taste.
But yeah right now it is good! Just the few times when bm is a drama queen.
I looked very forward to when
I looked very forward to when the skids got old enough to handle their own communication rather than having to go through their BM.
BUT - now she doesn't tell H important things about skids - like SS had to go to Mayo Clinic for a medical condition AND SD is dropping out of high school in her senior year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damned if you do...
Wow; that would be nice; my
Wow; that would be nice; my sd13 has just move in with us about 7 months ago and I think it is going to take a lot of TOUGH LOVE to change her flippin attitude; but I will get her where I want her........LOL
Nice! No meddling BM and
Nice! No meddling BM and there's a bit of peace right there!
Why does she barely talk to her daughters, though? That is strange.

Oh Fence, she is a piece of work. She started kicking them out in the middle of the night when they were only 11. My DH would get the call at 2 am from drunk BM to come get them and he would show up and she would have them sitting on the curb waiting, and she lived in the projects. We would have them sometimes for weeks sometimes it would last a few months and she wouldn't talk to them to teach them a lesson. Then something would happen that she didn't like such as the school calling us or we would sign them up for a sport and she would demand them back. This happened I think 4 times in 2 years. Then one day the girls needed to come over to use the computer when they were 13 and she told them if they came here they might as well stay, so they did. I think she meant for the night but that is not how a 13 year old girl takes it. We got custody and now the girls will see her once in a while and they might even spend the night and then something happens and they will go 6 months without talking to her again.
Great for us but being rejected by your mom is not a great thing and I can only imagine the damage she has done to them.
The problem is they lived with this for a long time and now they are starting to have some characteristics of hers. Sucks.
