Am I wrong?

mom_STEPMOM's picture

I'm having an issue with my SD. Lately she has been staying at our house due to her and her mother not getting along. I have been doing everything for her, taking her to school, to work and everything else that comes with a 17 year old. Well the last couple of days I have no been in a mood to cook dinner so yesterday we had sandwiches for dinner and today I figured since my SD was getting paid chancer were she was going out to eat with her boyfriend.

Life is really stressful right now and I just need to vent!!! I am wondering if anyone has ever adopted and can share the process. I had a histerectomy three years ago because I had cancer. My dh and I have talked about adopting ALOT! He has his the kids and I have always wanted to have children. It was my mistake that I could try to make his family my family, the teen skids just don't really want anything to do with me. I'm really not sure why! Especialliy when their own mother says I am better for them then she ever was.

S/D IS IMPOSSIBLE

Lost Darter's picture

Well where do I start? As some of you may know we have been going through hell with my husband's ex and his ss. Now they have pulled my sd into the caous. Just a quick review. My husband and I have had fc of the two children since we got married. The bm is a disaster, crazy and money hungry. Well, last summer my ss ran away twice just because he wasn't allowed to run all day and all night and do whatever he wanted to do. We do believe in the word NO. BM does not so where would you want to be if you were a teenager.

Opinions please...

This weekend we will have SD. BM calls DH today at work telling him about a party that SD is invited to that is this weekend. Now this has happened before and DH told BM that if a party comes up on his weekend that we would take SD if SD wanted to go. No big deal right, wrong BM is requesting to take SD to the party this weekend. BM told DH that she will be at the party anyway even if SD does not go. So we will have to deal with BM if we take SD. Also this party is in OUR subdivision four doors down.

court update

so we went to mediation settlement hearing today. my FH was not agreeing to the parenting plan they came up w in mediation bc the day after BM accused his son of molesting the little girl. FH decided that he was gonna give up custody bc BM has put us thru so much and he didnt want to go thru this anymore, and he was afraid of what she might accuse us of next. so we went to court, FH gave BMs lawyer the "settlement"...him waiving visitation for now, giving her full legal custody and proposed the maximum amount of CS he would be paying her plus daycare expenses.

Need opinions

I need opinions about this..... SD16 moved out to live w/crazy BM in Feb, since then, we haven't seen her. She did come by once to "move her things out", beyond that, nothing. She does call DH about once a week. Anyway, both SD's and BM are major drama starters, 24/7. DH umpires and my boys play baseball @ a field close to our home. Last yr, SD worked there as a scorekeeper and worked the concession stand. This year, since she moved over 30 miles away, I was hoping she would not be working the ball field this year.

how do we stay cool in a heated issue

Oh gosh where do I start, I have been with my SS for 5 years, just newely married to his father for almost a year. Up until about 1 month ago I never met BM (I gues she said I was intimidating) however I may be don't you think you would want to meet the lady that is taking care of your child 50% of the time.

Psycho Bio mom was put in her place by the school!

They did exactly what I have been trying to tell DH to do for years!! They drew the line-since the kid's school did (what I would describe) as an "intervention", she has stopped calling our house! I am amazed. She actually listened to them. I think it helped that they typed up notes on the meeting & sent it home with SD. I think she needed that to solidify in her mind, what was agreed upon (she is not to go into the school when dropping off the kids) and that DH will let the kids initiate the phone calls when it is appropriate. WOW! I am amazed that they did that.
