I had a baby boy, cute little thing. He is now almost 3 mos old. He is a joy! biomom and I are in talking mode and not fighting lately. She came to visit me at the hospital when my son was born and even brought gifts for the baby. I even let her carry the baby....wondering what could she be thinking? My husband was asleep in the room at that time so he didn't feel the uncomfortableness of it all. She offered to p/u and drop off my daugther to her art class because her son goes to the same school. What should I make out of that?
I just finished my 6 page letter on Non custodial parents rights and child support. I'm going to send it to various government officials in the state, my senators and representatives, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, CNN, MSNBC, the papers in the state and the television stations here. Something has to be done. I'm only one person but maybe I can stir it up a little bit.
I have a 17 year old SD that is graduating this year. My issue is that her mother never wants to pay for anything. Right now she is not employed but she got her income tax just this month. Well she is out spending her money like she has no one to care for. I talked to my husband and mentioned to him that my SD and mother should go half on the grad ring and we pay for pictures, invited, dinner, etc. So all she would need to do is maybe pay 150-200 total, not alot of money.
I have been reading a lot in these posts about respect between us and the skids. I think I am really confused about this or really stupid. I have read posts where it will say something like, "I don't disrespect them", meaning the skids. Not long ago, my SD16 told me that she would only respect me if I respected her, WTF is that? I was taught to respect elders and not to behave like she does. What I seem to be confused with is, how do you respect someone you can't stand the sight of? Isn't respecting someone pretty much mutually exclusive with liking them.
B.M..... again is calling another hearing, over C.S. issues, the amount she is supposed to get is way to much for us to afford to cough up, we cannot modify it , because we were told we would have to wait 4 years for another modification....seriously! So of course over the past few months we are behind on what we owe, so she is pissed and called another hearing..2 weeks from now in FL. & we are living in Mass. and can't get down their for this BS. no time or $$$ for a trip like that. And it says on the notice if my DH. is not there they will issue a warrent!! He called this am.
I just had to write about what has happened since my last post! The last time I wrote that I had set my boundaries regarding my DBF's two daughter's behavior and that I would no longer "allow" them to be physically around me and my son. I really expected my DBF to tell me our relationship was over and move out...but low and behold...SURPRISE! He told me he would "do whatever it took to keep me and my son in his life". He is even showing more respect and graditude for us. WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS SOONER???! Why don't we set the ground rules immediately when SK's treat us disrepectfully?
I have never been to the doctor as much in my life all together as I have since I've been with fiancee. I have generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder so I'm a natural worry wart and am always nervous and on edge. I was panic attack free for 2 years before I moved in with fiancee. When we were together for 6 months I was diagnosed with IBS, they thought I had Crohns for awhile because I had alot of the symptoms but it turned out the other way around. My IBS is stress-induced...I was symptom free until I moved in with fiancee, now I have abdominal pain everyday(spasms).
Got this in an email today.
I had a good weekend-without BF and SS actually.I went out with my friends many of whom have kids,but get babysitters to go out.I have actually phoned Women's Aid (England) a few times as it has been suggested I'm in an abusive relationship (in many ways).I think I'm not happy.They say he has no right to demand every weekend to do just what him and his son wants as we have never agreed this.Making me guilty is his way of controlling me.I get quite upset and angry that he never considers my needs and he knows I get depression and anxiety.Do you know he once said to me 'I don't like care abou
I am not going to even try and help FSS anymore. Fiancee's sister said they won't change how they treat my fiancee or FSS because she wants her mom to be happy...Give me a break...so in other words they're going to keep spoiling him so he turns into a bigger monster and there's nothing we can do about it, they just don't care. And yesterday really upset me, noone will listen to us because they all think they're right.
