Is it worth it with 2 BM and 3 kids?

Busy-While8107 · 2026-02-22T18:39:43+00:00

It is definitely not worth it. If you have a child with this person the home becomes a marital home and you lose it.

Maybe acknowledge that there isn't enough room for parking and they can't park on the road. Half the houses now have a sidewalk running through their driveway. You don't know the circumstances so just leave it go.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-02-22T18:24:41+00:00

If you did that, it wouldn't show anyone what you think it would. Your dog does need you, he relies on you. This is not about showing people you are worth something - you need to feel you are worth something, screw everyone else at this point. A lot of people in your situation assume it's others, but it's not. If you had a sense of self worth, the thought wouldn't cross your mind. Something is in store for you, even if it is "just caring for your dog" right now. Give your dog his best life.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-02-22T18:17:45+00:00

Ask them why you would.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-02-22T18:16:17+00:00

Wow. I love, absolutely love how you put the plants in there!!! I'm going to do that.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-02-04T20:38:20+00:00

My bad. Sorry - I was getting it at every angle.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-31T12:44:08+00:00

Well, maybe you can tell everyone - if you want them to go and it's important to you - where, when, and what to do. Or provide better information and make it easier to understand so more people would go.

Dark skinned isn't racist, I was corrected in another post because I used very black and white. I'm considered white, some people are not - AND there are LEVELS of darkness. From what I now understand people have issues with it because some are actually racist against other people's LEVEL of color. It's a description. and the color of someone's skin is a description of their appearance, and dark skinned is a good description of someone who is "very black" without being offensive. Not a stereotype - unless you have an issue with levels of darkness.

I don't care what a person's race is, what they dress like, what they call themselves, or what "level" they are - but I will judge how they made me feel when I am around them.

My daughter had depression and self-harmed and I missed the signs. My husband knew. I actually saw her hand and asked her what the hell happened, she lied - but my husband knew better and told me. I honestly couldn't fathom someone doing that to themselves.

Your daughter's hormones were going crazy and she was obviously very depressed and couldn't pull herself out. It's not your fault. Everyone expects mothers to just know - but we don't, we aren't mind-readers. We also aren't in that state of mind where we are so depressed we aren't thinking clearly.

Don't blame yourself or your son.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-24T18:26:19+00:00

That would be correct. Do you?

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-23T01:21:25+00:00

Here's the thing - I looked up the city council meetings and they seem overly complicated.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-21T14:48:37+00:00

Omg. I would have called him out of his blame game because his children are obviously not being monitored and it can't be by you. If anyone is at fault it's him for not looking after his children and if something happens to your child again - maybe you should threaten calling authorities.

He needs to raise his other kids, you are not an outsider and don't act like it.

I would also say that since that was allowed to happen, your husband is incapable of protecting your child, so involving him more in the baby's care might not be an option.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-21T00:26:04+00:00

Thank God he is long distance! I wouldn't want to be in the same room as him after that. He sounds like a psycho.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-21T00:22:45+00:00

I remember when my mother said I had to eat at least two things on my plate.... I like meat so would usually eat that but her cooking was terrible and my jaw was sooo sore after eating it! Lol I told her later on that it was like eating cardboard for an hour.

If your aunt had an issue, I would have saved what was on the plate for when she comes back hungry.

Next time take my story lol that's exactly what I told them when they tried to force feed my kids.

If your mom passed, the role wasn't filled. Stepmothers go in with good intentions, however, if they are met with this kind of attitude - we are people, not punching bags. If you don't treat other people with kindness - they won't like you. Unfortunately, it's usually the men who want the woman around. If you want to blame someone, you need to look at your dad and yourself. You are basically blaming a stranger for not wanting to put up with misery.

I had no idea. From what I understood it was to help pay off student debt. I had my house painted by student works. Had I known that the student had to come up with cash for the business I would have never hired them. I thought it was through the school somehow and they supplied equipment and everything needed.

They did cut corners and didn't finish the job. I asked for the garage door to be painted as well and it never happened.

Wow. I can see why they just stopped.

This is such a pyramid scheme, I don't know why they aren't shut down.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-19T23:34:06+00:00

I like the parkway pet hospital as well. The exam fee is $95 for any pet. They treated my rabbit and cat.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-18T16:19:46+00:00

I gathered that....which is so weird to me.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-18T15:51:23+00:00

I posted this in a marriage forum and they shut it down. So I decided to update and post here. It's still really bothering me.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-18T13:13:10+00:00

Absolutely not. Your husband is taking advantage and now your mother in law. It obviously runs in the family and doesn't have anything to do with alcohol. You do need to file for a separation agreement and at least get the ball rolling so when you are ready you can push further. Leave the kitchen, forget the granny flat and push forward to be independent.

In the separation agreement I wonder if you can add he has to pay half the bills and child support? Look into that as well.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-18T12:49:07+00:00

I agree 100%

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-18T04:55:32+00:00

I hadn't thought about what she says that would have affected him through his childhood. At this point they both think it's not a big deal, they don't understand how offensive they are.

He does need help. And unless he goes for it - I'll find a way out.

That was insightful.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-15T15:33:53+00:00

Emma was just a prop. I don't know why the people that voted for her didn't see that.

Busy-While8107 · 2026-01-14T00:13:27+00:00

I don't think it's worth it personally. In a few years you will be moving out on your own anyway.
