My ss draws a check due to dh's disability. MIL was getting it sent directly to her as that is where he lived. Prior to that it came to the bm as he lived with her. With him moving in with us we had to get it changed. My dh cannot be his payee as dh is not even his own payee (I am)so we had to make me ss's representative payee. Again, it's immaterial-I am all my kids payee-their checks go into our joint account which we use for bills except a portion that we save for them and transfer into savings accounts-we will set up the same system for ss.

So ss has been living with us since Tuesday afternoon. Less than 48 hours. I have to say that my dh has really done a good job of staying on top of things, addressing them, delivering consequences, laying down rules-I really have 0 complaints about anything my dh is doing in regards to ss. So I should be happy, right?

not feeling too positively about this first night that ss is with us. We had an event with my dd10 tonight so I rushed home from work and had 15 min to change, pee, eat, and go. The house was chaos. DS, SS, and ds's friend were all downstairs where I just told dh over the weekend that I did not want the kids going down there unless invited or supervised. In fact I told him 2 or 3 different times-we have a pretty big house and I like to have some space to the adults.

So if anyone has read my blogs there's been alot of drama and quite frankly trauma associated with this move. After the smoke cleared on Saturday-dh came home and brought ss with him. He stayed til last night-and will go back to school today to disenroll, say goodbye-all that good stuff and will be enrolling in our school district and moving in this week.
