Just another week

Casper3's picture

Well, this week BM texted DH with the news that SS12 got in a bike accident and had to have stitches. Her next words were "you will have to take him to Urgent Care on Saturday to have them removed".

1. I don't care about taking SS12 to get stitches out but is it really such an emergency as to pay the extra to Urgent Care (Not covered by the insurance DH pays for) to have it done? Why not take him to his doc on Monday and just pay the $20 copay.

so Im SS's SM but your just moms "boyfriend?"

I'm a little confused right now and mad. My FH is home today on his day off with his two boys and my BD13 is home from school. Now BD13 and FH get along fine..but he has never tried to "father" her...and I don't ask him to. She is old enough that she is pretty indepedant. BUT at the same time he is an adult in her life and should not put me in the middle if an adult situation comes up.

Who, exactly, is H's wife? Is it me, or SD18? Long, long, long.

H came home for a long weekend (he had 5 days off) and announced we were going to build a fence. This would be because H's boss objected to H having his dog at the apartment, and I told him the dog cannot stay here while I'm at work because he poos and pees in the house. So, we are building a fence.

Friday morning before going to work I helped measure for it. Then went to work. H went and played cards, but did have the post holes dug by the time I got home.

ss is 4 and did not want to play tball yesterday because he wanted to go to his moms and play video games?! Bm the lazy fat azz that she is did nothing...i just dont get it, to me 4 yo is too young to be caring about video games, my children will NOT be playing video games at this age. im sorry but if the kid cant even count to 20, wtf is he doing sitting in front of a tv playing games?

I know that i come from a very strict type of family where education is most important, so my views might be off, i was curious what your thought are!

SS6 newest way of trying to get his way

kaffonseca's picture

HAHA..I can't fault the kid for trying..his newest line is "I have a good idea Kaff"..than he will proceed to tell me what he wants - a new toy..to play outside..etc.." isn't that a good idea? he'll say to me..

HAHA! usually I'll just "that's a great idea..but it's not happening"

Poor kid. HAHA.

The hard part it's summer and he is still in school..9pm and it's just getting dark..he wants to go outside and play cuz' he doesn't realize it's nighttime.So lately his good idea is "it's a good idea if I go outside and play on swing while you watch me , RIGHT? "
LOL

It is now official. I am now the worlds most evil Step Father.

MY SS did comparatively well this past school years academically. However, he struggles with writing structured papers and absolutely hates it. English was his lowest grade and he BARELY made the cut in that class.

I instructed him to find a Sylvan Center or a similar program and get himself signed up for a Writing class so that he can go back to school in the fall for his Sr year of high-school better prepared to perform well in English and other writing intensive courses.

Does anybody know the rule/law on this?

I have a friend who has a 16 yr old daughter in OH that lives with her dad. Dad has a wife that has 2 kids. One of the kids is away at juvenile and the other is a 17 year old boy. Dad works for GM and is losing job and having to downsize to a smaller living space. My friends daughter told her that her dad and them were moving into a 2 bedroom apartment. My friend of course says whoa whoa where are you sleeping and where is the 17 year old step brother sleeping if dad and wife have one room.

So does anybody know the law in OH about the sleeping arrangements of kids that old?

Off Topic just need opinions about a job offer

missangie1978's picture

So I took a job at a company that I wasn't that keen on but being 26 weeks pregnant and not hearing anything back from any other company I thought why not.

Well I just got a call from the company I wanted to really work for and they offered me a job but the kicker is I'd have to start tomorrow!

I'm not sure what to do? Do I keep the job I took (I've only been here a week) or take the job I was just offered?
