My ex (DS15 & DD10's bio dad), has never really been around for them. Long story short, he was only in DS''s life, then when DD was 9 months old, I finally left for good. The years to follow, he'd make promises that he'd never keep, and now DS is resentful of him (ya think?). About a year ago, he finally reappeared, but neither one of my kids want anything to do with him. I get a whopping $76 per month in child support (he's on disability), and nothing more. We're friends on FB & still talk from time to time, but he's always posting pictures of tattoos that he's doing and "checking in" at all these restaurants spending $$ that he's made from said tattoos. I want to take him back to court for more child support but DH thinks that with the way things are ($76 p/month), it's his way of staying OUT of the kids lives and ruining our happy and loving family. DH is dad to them, and always will be and loves them unconditionally. We're fine with mine and DH's salaries alone, but it'd be nice to have the ex pay more.

The whole Easter basket thing is out of control already. People are selling them (handmade) left and right! Some are nice and all, I'll give them credit for a job well done, but really, do we need to teach our kids that Easter is about Peeps and toys and clothes and iPads?

It's spring break. I work for the school system. I had big, big plans to spring clean while we're off. Who the eff am I kidding? I'm spending most of my time watching DVRd programs/movies and surfing the internet. My username should be SlackerD.

I could be at deaths door and my mother would still tell me I am faking or lying. I hated growing up because no one was ever allowed to just relax and do nothing. No sleeping in, no staying home from school sick. She never babysits unless it's medical/emergency related because she doesn't believe mothers deserve a break. The she complains I didn't have a big family like she did- if I don't get a break from two kids (one with medical issues) why would I have more? My DH always sides with her and I just want to tell them both to fuck off. I am not a bad parent for taking a nap when I haven't slept in days.

Dh is making an effort to form a bond and relationship with ds1. The thing is instead of either making up his own games to play or waiting till ds and I are done he just kinda barges in and takes over. Ds is 16 months, dh has been gone for 11 of them, and around but not very active with him for another 2 or 3... I try to tell him but he doesn't understand...he can't rough house with him like I do... Or sneak up on him...I just feel so bad seeing him try and look so disappointed when ds cries and runs to me.

So basically my youngest brother has been talking behind my back and calling me disgusting names. He also calls his exes "whores" and my stepmom is a b***h. I got sick of it and told him that with a mouth like that no wonder no woman respects him and that he is nothing but a little boy and a mooch. Mom defended him and I said "Congrats, you raised a man who would grow up to be just like his father." (His dad was abusive to my mom) Sorry, I don't respect men who talk about woman so disgustingly and mothers who take that crap. Also, if it was anyone saying that about her daughter my mom would be on them but because it is the son she always backs up, it is completely ok. Now the end result is I have cut out my brother from my life and my mom has lost my total respect.

So it's ok for my right wing bible quoting FIL to live with his girlfriend and not be married, collect disability, use Medicaid and SNAP. But my two children having CHIP insurance- that we pay premiums for- (and one child has a chronic disease) because DH's job doesn't provide steady insurance is a sin. Ok whack job. In one ear and out the other.
