OT- does anyone use ancestry.com? What have you learned about your ancestors from it?

I do and I love it!

I've learned that my ancestors were Native Americans, kings, queens, nobles, mill workers and farmers. I also found a photo of my third or fourth great grandfather (I forget which) there.

That all said, I know there are flaws with some of the family trees there. Once I see those I usually stop research on that particular person and move on to someone else.

Do you think that if you/DH saw that skids are healthy and well cared for,

and have good lives, you'd feel differently about the cs?

Sorry to be a blog hog, but I know that when BM had custody, if we'd seen that the kids were healthy and happy instead of filthy and wearing clothes that don't fit, that would've really made my feelings about it different.

It's not the CS I object to itself, although I think it needs some alterations. It's the misuse of it.

Does dh ever say or do things that make you think, "maybe bm has a point?"

I think many of these men are good at making women go crazy, lol.

My dh does some stuff that blows my mind. He is so disorganized. He leaves his stuff scattered all over his desk. He watches his tv at loud volumes.

And then there's the guy written about here who wants his dd to smoke pot with him. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND does that!?!

I'm grateful for my mom. She was and is a great BM.

1. She never badmouthed my dad or stepmother to me.

2. She always encouraged my relationship with my dad and to try to make one with my stepmother.

3. If I came to her with an issue I was having with either Dad or stepmother, she gave me advice, love and support, but stepped back after that (unless I was being mistreated).

4. She is always nice to my stepmother when she sees her.

Who bears more responsibility in how the kids act and turn out,

Bm or dh?

Just seems like there are a lot of poorly behaved skids written about here, but these kids come from all sorts of different situations.

I think it's on both parents to do things about their kids behavior. I don't care who's custodial or not. Just straighten your kids out so the rest of us don't have to deal with awful adults, lol.

How does becoming & being a mom impact how you feel about BM

Does it make you feel for her a little, or dislike her even more?

DH and I have thought about adoption in the past. Having my own child would probably make me shake my head at BM in disbelief even more. But it'd make me feel sad to have to share my child with another woman if DH and I divorced. It would hurt me a little to have to share said child with them on holidays, birthdays, etc. I wouldn't make it the child's issue, but it would hurt me a little inside.

OT sort of- Jon and Kate Gosselin

have resurfaced :sick:

It really sickens me how they take their battle public. And it's even worse because their kids can read about it and hear about it at school. Kate was on the Today show with Mady and Cara, and of course, Jon couldn't resist adding his two cents in. http://celebrity.yahoo.com/news/jon-gosselin-reacts-kate-39-today-interv...

I wish they'd both shut up and fade away.
