Skids want fun time while Dd is in the hospital
Last week I noticed DD was breathing funny and took her to the ER. Turns out she has GBS and needs to be in the hospital for at least 10 days for antibiotics. It's been stressful and initially SO wasn't going to take paternity leave because it's unpaid but to help me out he took 4 days of paternity. I didn't want to feel like DD is "hogging" his time so I told him that after skids come home from school he could spend time with them and come back to the hospital to help me overnight. He said he agreed but then also said he wanted to see if he could take the boys out on the weekend.

Do you let skids change diapers?
I gave birth to DD last week and like most people, I am enjoying this time of my life and am amazed as to the love that I feel for my little girl. No matter what happens in life, she is something I will never regret. That said, when we got home, I allowed the boys to hold her under my supervision on the first day. The second day home, SS9 without permission picks up DD. I spoke to SO and told him that I allowed the boys to hold her day 1 home so that they don't feel alienated, but I am not okay with them just grabbing her whenever they want to.

Especially hating steplife today
If you read through my blog, you'll know that SO works 4p-midnight M, T, and W. It wasn't always this way. When I met him, he worked 8a-4p but didn't have weekends off. This is why he switched his schedule earlier this year. But I hate the new schedule.

SS9 pretending to be sick again
But I'm planning on doing what was suggested the last time I wrote about this which had worked at that time also. SO and I went food shopping this morning and when we got back at about one, SO laid down to take a nap before he starts his shift. Of course he gets a phone call from the school regarding SS9 saying he's sick. I told SO to ask the nurse if SS9 was vomiting, had diarrhea, a cough, a fever, active bleeding, or pain. SS9 says he vomited once in the bathroom. I told SO to leave him in school because it seemed like there was nothing seriously wrong with him.

"What would happen if I punched you in your stomach?"
SS15 asked me this week.
"Your sister would die", I responded.
"Would you still have to give birth?" he asked.
"Yes, I would have to give birth to a dead baby." I said
Steplife continued
Okay, so here is my latest gripe, and while I'm venting, I really want some feedback as to how to handle this situation.

SS14 has friends now...and I'm still having issues with it.
I'm glad that SS14 is doing summer youth, so he has a job for part of the week. I feel bad because when the kids are home I'm overwhelmed at times with the amounts of attention they need. Of course, these things occur in waves, so there are good times in between.
HIs, mine, and theirs
I'm sure this topic has been done to death on this site, but just thought I'd ask.
For all of you out there who had a child with the SO, how did you split the bills?

Updates on the steplife for me
It's about to get a little more complicated. So I found out that I am pregnant the ending of May. I am now approximately 12 weeks along. SO and I are looking at houses to move out of where we currently live. After the law guardians became involved during SO's last arrest (the last time I blogged), they realized after speaking to the kids that BM has some serious issues. She is now under supervised visitation and is only able to see the boys once weekly for 45 minutes. The law guardian is recommending that she be evaluated by a psychiatrist.

Need advice ASAP re legal issues
I don't know how much background info I've given on BM/Ex wife but she is certifiably crazy. She has been using the legal system to her advantage for the past 8 years or so. She continues to make false allegations at least every few months. There are currently a few open court cases because she owes child support, plus she filed for food stamps and government assistance and said skids were living with her, so the government is pursuing SO for child support EVEN THOUGH HE HAS CUSTODY and there is already an open case regarding her non payment.
