I am so beyond tired of being unhappy.
I'm 21 and Ive been married for 2 1/2 years to a marine. We got married very quickly (4 months after meeting, January 2007) because he was deploying in July 2007 and I love him with everything in me. But sometimes that isn't enough.
We found out that we were pregnant in February 2007. A week before my appointment (May 1st) I stopped feeling pregnant. At my appointment they discovered I'd miscarried.
Tell me how many of your 11-12 yr old SKs have their own cell phones? We get a call on Tuesday and its SS asking DH if we will buy him a cellphone, add him to our account (he lives out of state) and pay the monthly bill. This kid is NUTS! DH's answer to him - uh, I'll check into and see. He tells me what he asked. My answer - hell no. DH says he's too young anyways. Yes, he is, in my opinion too, but even if he weren't - hell no. This kid lives no where near us, how are we supposed to share our minutes with him or monitor its use? We couldn't, therefore it will never happen!
DH doesn't know it yet but I'm not going to his son's football game tomorrow but I'm going to go to my little brother's (who is only a year older than SS). I'm still pissed to all hell that BM signed SS up without asking or discussing it with us. I will NOT support that behavior whatsoever and that includes not going to his games...especially since her piece of sh*t husband is an ass. coach on SS's team. I will totally be there to see my brother play which thank God is 4 hours later so chances are I won't run into BM!
On another night/day, I'll tell you of 6 flags and Paul McCartney...but that is not tonight. Sorry. In no mood for that insanity. (OY)
So...I'll tell of TONIGHT.
DH and I weren't really arguing, just in a disagreement about something (SD16's step g'ma sent her money for GRADUATION...um, she's at least a year away from that and of course I told SD to call her and say thank you but I am not graduating (don't want to steal from an elderly lady, ya know?).
Ok, I know there are guys here, but please read my posts and several others about our "princesses" and you will understand.
I have downloaded an audio book that my BF had read. It is called "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters" and the more I listen, the more I want to be physically ill. I was listening this morning when I got so upset that I am not sure I will be able to listen to more of it!
This book is spewing how special a father is to his daughter. It is trying to show fathers how important they are to their daughter.
Ok, I can live with that... until....
ok in my previous blog i explained how in the court order it says dh can call the skids 1x daily "for a reasonable amount of time"
well since bm's moved the kids outta state we've talked to them ALMOST every day but she will tell skids to get off the phone or make it short or hurry up you've got sh*t to do after being on the phone with us for like 5 min (our conversations have been between 2 1/2 - 7 minutes each ya i timed each one) each time.they say they will call back later but never do and sd-11 has told us if she uses the phone too much she gets in trouble.
My stepdaughter is 22 years old. I'm getting to the place where I am so fed up. I want to say to my husband that big changes need to be made in this household or else. She's here because she was having trouble with financial aid and other expenses in her former college (in another state) so we told her it would be ok to move back to our state and move in with us in order to finish up (this may have been a big mistake). When she arrived, it was obvious she did not expect to do any or very little housework.
Today was a family lunch in celebration of SS4's bday. We're having a party next week but we had a family lunch today. I ended up taking a separate vehicle than DH, I had BS1 with me & I'd had to run a few errands first. I found that skipping the part where I had to go to BM's (low income) apartment & wait in the truck (I never go in there, I make DH enter the dragon's lair by himself) while DH fetched SK's really saved me from a lot of stress & as a result, I had a lot more patience with them today.
I got my first response yesterday and it made me cry. In a good way. Just to know someone out there understands the way I feel. I have cared for these two boys SS6 and SS11 in our custody for 3 years.
and SD, 8, is already sick???
My DH called BM this afternoon to remind her that he has visitation on Sunday for a special occasion. Also he needed to know where SD was living now since supposedly BM was moving again.
