I have been in this relationship for five years and these problems are not new by any means but are getting worse...my bf has two sons that live with us every other week - yes a week! this is because thier mother likes to party and my bf thought it was a better fit. so we have them half the time, pay full support, but clothes for here (well i do) and of course they end up at her house b/c bf has no balls (last month he let them take all their summer clothes to flordia with the grandparents, guess whos house the clothes are at now! we pay for all school activites as well as after school activities, scholl supplies the list goes on. of course she does not work and is out every weekend - i have no idea when the last time i was out...

like most of you they believe it is a vacation here and do nothing every morning i clean up the dishes etc no matter how many times i tell them and thier father. at the mothers house they clean and do laundry. but this weekend was the icing on the cake - i have been on midnights for 15 days straight...when i get home in the morning i got to sleep a bit but also have to look after our toddler. (three days a week he is at daycare)so this was my weekend off and the bf had to work and the boys were at moms...that was the schedule unitl i woke up thursday to a text that the ex was dropping the boys off...so i called to see why and he tells me that she has a meeting and does not want to leave the boys alone hmmm okay ii say. when they get here they have their book bags (they live way accross town) i ask if they are staying the night they say we are here for the week end lol guess who is home now with the kids..thanks for asking...

when is enough enough and how do you know???

UGH! Id be the first to say that I am not a babysitter for the skids and that if dads not home, they dont come over! If he cant be home and the ex has whatever she has to do.. she can find a sitter for them and it shouldnt be you!

Just because you found us doesn't mean you can't still pack Wink Wink

Stop doing so much. You are only frustrating yourself. Your money doesn't need to go towards their clothes. Not your responsibility. Their father can clean up after them. Also, when dad's not there, skids don't come. Visitation is for the parent. You are not a free babysitter.
