on my life with SD17 who is still with her bf but FH is fetching her today so that we can go for our marriage class tonight. We are still arguing over this matter and I find myself repeating the same things over and over to him "step up and be a parent" "remind her of her commitment to our agreements made in January" "Don't let her walk all over you and our relationship" "make her go back to school and not bunk every opportunity she gets 'in the name of missing the boyfriend'" but he says its too late to be a parent to her now and regrets not being a better parent earlier in her life when he was having problems with his ex. What more can I say or do? Now he thinks we are breaking up and thinks that I don't love him anymore. I dread her coming back today, as we then start the roller coaster ride towards her next visit to the bf in a months time (or less if she can get daddy to agree to it). Mmmm certainly 'exciting times' ahead! Both of us have such pressured jobs that we are so deflated in the evening and on the weekends. And I get to spend the most time with her (and the other kids) as FH works 7 days a week and when he is not working he entertains (Keyboard) for extra cash. Sorry to be venting all the time! FH caught me trying to blog last night and was angry with me because I wouldn't let him see what I was writing for fear of a blow-up. I then cancelled my entry and went to bed.

You're allowed to vent as much as you want. Good for you for sticking to your guns and making the kid live up to her end of the bargain regarding babysitting. Hopefully you'll get some good advice in your marriage class.

As for the boyfriend, hopefully it'll be one of those short-lived romances teens go through and she'll be able to replace him with someone closer to home. Then all you'll have to deal with are missed curfews! heheheh.
