So yesterday my spineless DH drives 20 mins to and from BM house. You would think the only thing that warrants this on a non-skid night would be an emergency. Well apparently SS8 not wanting to do his spelling words is an emergency. Did I mention our DD is 3 months old? She goes to bed at 7:30 so by the time he gets off work, you get the picture. Between catering to BM and catering to his mother he has about five total minutes for her. I can't even stand to look at him.

I should start by saying that I lucked out in the skid department. We all get on very well and they have really taken to DD. I had DD 6 days ago and we have had skids almost every day since. I'm at my wits end. I can't stand how my SD follows my husband around like a puppy dog and even stands outside the bathroom while he is in there. SS is much easier to handle. I know these feelings are me and I'm trying to keep telling myself that, but I am becoming increasingly annoyed by SD always being in my DD face and in DH face and in my face.

Wow has this been a fun week. Some minimal annoyances by BM finally paved the way to a royal spectacle yesterday.

Let me preface this by saying that BM lost the skids sports uniforms this week. How one does that I'm not sure. DH and I worked together and made skids uniforms that were close using iron ons and similarly colored shirts. They were so excited and grateful

My accountant had recommended that we file jointly and in the case of any court issues he would prepare a married filing separate return to turn in with a letter stating that it represented DH income but was not filed as such due to harm to the Spouse. Has anyone done this and was it successful?
