Ok stepparents - have any of your skids (toddler age, my ss is 4.5) ever bitten themselves? Ss4 has bite marks on his arms and says "I bite myself sometimes". When I asked him why, he said a variation between "I don't know" and "I do it when someone/something bothers me" He name the dog as one reason but I've never actually seen him bite himself around the dog. The thing is, only one bite mark looks fresh. The others look older. And we just picked him up from BM yesterday...and he said at first he doesn't bite himself at BM's, but then got vague about it later.

So today I had to have surgery and FDH was so fabulous about it. Especially considering that our morning started off with an angry phone call from BM. She wanted info from him for CS - which is fine except she knows he works 2nd shift and he isn't fucking up at 8 am, so she woke us up and we already weren't sleeping well because we were worried about the outcome of my surgery - and when he tells her that he can't get the info to her right now, that he's exhausted, it's not right at hand and that it's a bad time could he please call her later? The bitch starts a fight. Seriously?!
