Hi I am very new. I have so many different things areas i guess. I remarried and that is itself totally different subject. I have two kids and five step children. I know if you look at my profile ur probably confused. That is because I am confused lol. I have a 25 yr old son and a 23 yr old daughter and married a man who has two sets of twins and a very rebelious 17 yr old. Right now things we are dealing with is the mom of the younger set OH YEAH HE HAS TWO SETS OF BABIES MOMMA the younger set are 9 and she is well i wont go there. I was a caseworker in foster care before i was i victim of domestic violence so i have a back ground in dealing with very rebellious kids period. When I arrived here it was literally romper room. I was a very structured mom still am so it just would be natural that i apply that to my new life. It was no secret about how I am and what i expect out of my own children and i dont take disrespect from my own so why would anyone I MEAN ANYONE think i would take that from them (kids). So the begining of our marriage has been literally a culture shock to the kids. No one ever held them accountable and no one ever followed through with a consequence except for the one thing i refuse to do or allow it to happen is the paddle. I say that because I have seen it used in anger and that to me is abuse. To the kids it was the easy way out ta-da. I moved here from a different state and I am shocked by what the system lets slide. We are now trying to get full custody or at least custodial parents for the 9yr old. Right now the 9yr old boy is not allowed to come here due to physically abusing two others stealing lying and cops came. His mother agreed to the consequent of not coming back. Dont freak out he has been given 2yrs of chances so anyway now she is threatening to not let the daughter come if he cant. I am sticking to this like super glue. I am so done with catering to her. She only want him gone because she has a new boyfriend. I told my husband the only way I would agree to his return is if she gives us custody or custodial parent, where he stays here full time. So that is some of it has anyone got any advice on what to do. How wrong am I? Really you can tell me I need to know. I have never said any kid could not come here until the physical abuse. Let me have it. thanks much.
This is exactly the site I needed! I have 4 kids, 3 with the ex and 1 with my new husband. I'm having custody issues, problems etc with the ex. We are going to court, and it has been ugly. I do what is best for the kids, but yet I'm the one who gets walked on.
Hi, I have a son from a previous relationship who is 23 yrs old. My new husband has a 6 yr old son that we see every other week-end and we have 2 boys together 3 and 1.
Hi to all. Haven't been around for a while because we've recently moved and a lot going on. No longer have internet connection, but I'll check in when I can. Take care and be well. Pete
