...and it irritates me that dh thinks ss14's disrespect is all due to testosterone

Um. No. You've raised the damned kid on your own. You can't blame his absent mother and you can't. Lame he hormones cursing through his body.

At lunch on our way home from our trip with my three bios, ss threw a fit. I said to knock it off and that he was to listen to his father - dad was his boss. Period. The end.

I heard dh reprimanding him again in a store later and then dh just blamed it on she's hormones.

Um no dh. Ss has acted this way since I've met him at age 11. He thinks he is your equal and he had a vote / say/ in any matter.

And since I've already been complaining about ss14

We took the kids on a three day trip for spring break. My kids will spend two more days with us before heading off for more fun with their dad and sm. Ss14 will be with is all week and will visit his mom for fri - sun.

As we were eating our final vacation breakfast together this morning, I asked the kids how they would rate our vacation on a scale of 1-10. To my surprise, my kids all came back with SUPER glowing reviews: 11, 13, 2500. This surprised me because I know they've visited the area several times with their father.

It all starts to make sense

BM has put up a good fight and played mommy for nearly 2 full years now after abandoning SS14 when he was 5. I'm sure it's exhausting to deal with a teen ager when all you want to do is party.

DH has always said that she'd peter out... eventually. As she always has. But she has been trying to prove to me/dh that she is a good mom ever since I came into the picture, so she came in hard buying him expensive video games systems. shoes, watches, etc.. oh, not child support or anything we needed to raise him, but she was doing the typical Disney parent thing.

Bm, you ignorant slut

Dh has an RO against bm. It allows her to call on mon and wed evenings between the hours of 7 and 8. She has somehow convinced ss14 that it is his responsibility to call her at 7 on the dot, per judges orders. We've tried to explain to him otherwise but we can't seem to make him understand ... Or he's to afraid if bm. He can call her anytime he likes so, whatever.

Had it out with DH Saturday Night

I had a drink (or tw0) and was feeling very brave so I told him ALL the things that have been bothering me:

1) I feel VERY taken advantage of - I provide for our family, he stays home with the baby, yet I'm the one managing the entire house, doing the cleaning, cooking, shopping, bills. All he does is sit on the couch with the baby all day - he doesn't even take her places - not even on walks. I have to insist that he mows the lawn when it is a foot long. WTH?

SS14's weekend with BM ... the one who was "homeless" just a week ago

SS14 returns from his visit with BM. He stayed at BM's girlfriend's home, just as he has the past two years. (Read previous blogs outlining BM's recent breakdowns where she professed she gave up and will give DH full custody because she's homeless - apparently her GF had kicked her out for her infedelity - , blah, blah, blah)

My SS14, The Wannabe football star, curling 10 Lbs

Here's a fun one for you.

My duck face SS thinks he is a stud - as I 'may' have mentioned before.

Several months ago, he adopted one of my 10 lb dumb bells and uses it to "work out" in his room.

He comes downstairs last night and asks his dad if he thinks he can beat him in arm wrestling. DH laughs and i say, "SS... it is going to take you a good 15 or 20 years before you can beat your dad".

SS says, "Dad, how much can you curl"

DH laughs again and I smile.

SS says, "I've been working out"

I HATE That BM knows anything about me

Sorry to be a blog hog, but so much has come up from the 20 minute session DH had with BM and the Child Support Caseworker yesterday. I absolutely despise that this woman knows anything. At all. About me. Some of her comments to DH:

1) "why can't we get along like Step Off does with her ex" translation - even though I slash your tires, put sugar in your gas tank, am beligerent, selfish and don't give a rats ass about my son, why do you keep taking me to court and do this to me?

What Would you do?

Over the last few days several things have come up with BM. Here are just a few of the highlights:

1) In court yesterday, she told DH, "you think you've got it bad, I'm going to have to get my own restraining order. i'm getting out of a bad relationship and he threw me out of a car the other night." a few minutes later she mentioned that the BF was in jail for selling drugs.

2) Last Saturday night, she sent DH a drunken text saying he could have full custody and that she was homeless
