School Supplies & CS
Hey guys and gals, haven't posted in a while but BM is as much a PITA as ever. I previously wrote about her refusing to pay her share of an uninsured medical bill for SD to the tune of $800 which we had to pay along with our portion of $3200. My DH decided to let it go (big issue with me but trying to get over it and move on, it's not working, lol).

Is it me or is my DH a total moron?
Sometimes I think my DH goes out of his way to frustrate me on purpose, he can't really be that simple, can he? Masybe it's me? I honestly just don't ever think I will get a grip on how he thinks. The stuff he says and does has absolutely no logic to me. Case in point, my SS11 has had a project to do for school, it was due today, he worked on it a while back but then left it which is how it always goes. Of course last night DH had to move him along to finish it.

Uninsured Medical Expenses
Looking for opinions and/or advice please. My DH's divorce states that he is responsible for 80% of the above and BM 20%. They have been divorced since 2003 and this order has never been enforced. My hubby has always picked up the full cost of uninsured medical expenses (he says he was waiting until she got on her feet after the divorce - hmm-mmmm - apparently driving a flashy car, vacationing 2/3 times a year, shopping extravagantly and paying nothing for the upkeep of your children is not a sign that one is on one's feet - I digress - grrrrrr) and insured is provided by him also.

Teenagers and restaurants
OMG - I have to get another person's viewpoint on this - major vent - maybe I am just way off base here and need someone objective to tell me so but I don't think so ..... so today after Church we are trying to come up with a few ideas for eating lunch out on a budget since money is relatively tight at the minute, actually money is always tight. So anyway we finally end up at a restaurant and my SD15 asks for a starter and then an entree that costs $13.49.

Full moon????
Good morning guys. So BM asked us to change our custody schedules to week on week off, we currently do 2 days a week each and EOW. We said fine - let's try it starting next week which means this week we only have SKs our regular 2 days since this weekend coming is BM's. Rewind to 2 weeks ago - BM asked us to have the kids on her 2 scheduled days which meant we had them for 9 days since it was our weekend also.

Discipline Question
Hey Guys - I haven't blogged in ages but I lurk every single day. Lurking here has kept me sane. Things have been crazy busy of late and I have allowed myself to just get tied up in knots trying to do it all. Anyway just wanted to say hi to everyone - old and new - and to re-commit to participating fully to this community.

The Darkness
Ok so I've decided to borrow Little Jo's name for BM. My husband and I used to call her the she-Devil between ourselves but The Darkness }:)somehow fits better since she is like one big fat frickin' dark cloud hanging over our every thought and action.

Shared expenses
Hi everyone, looking for a little guidance on this one please. My DH's divorce states that BM must pay for 20% uninsured medical expenses and DH 80%. They have been divorced 4 years now and my DH has never asked for the 20%, has always just incurred the bill 100%. SD has in the last 6 months had to have 2 backbraces fitted and supplied to the tune of $2K over and above medical insurance plus we have had the usual uninsured medical bills such as their ADHD medication, dentist fees (SS had never been to a dentist until this year at age 9 so the cost was higher than normal)etc etc etc.

Is this normal/appropriate?
My DH and I have been married for just over a year and I find some of his behaviour a little odd when it comes to how he raises his kids. We have 2 - SD14 and SS9 - I have no children of my own. When we first started living together, before we were married, we slept in separate bedrooms, he in with son and me in his bed. Prior to me moving in with them SS slept in dad's bed. We have had trouble getting SS to stay in his own bed even 1 year after marriage.
