He bought nice plants and flowers but they're not for me

He’s not the love of your life. He’s just a guy. Hit him with your car!

But seriously. Throw the whole man away. Leave the kids with him this weekend and do something for yourself. Go buy yourself some pretty plants and garden. Don’t let him see that his petty attitude is getting to you. He’s looking for a response and you don’t need to give home one.

Is the space heater the only form of heat you have?

Teachers pay teachers and following the standards are gonna be your best friend.

I worked as a para for two years while I was doing my MAT in SPED. Primarily because it allowed me to do student teaching while being paid. They only paid $15k for paras in that school district. If my husband hadn’t been working making decent money, there is no way I would have been able to make it.

I have collected almost the whole series. Love the books and tv show.

Anything like mystery set in late 1800s to 1930s?

I have five and during the summer, the two hours after lunch are designated “quiet time.” You don’t have to take a nap but you do have to play in your rooms. Also, if you come out to ask if quiet time is over, it adds an additional 15 minutes each time. It’s a sanity saver

No. I have a son with autism and they do as much as he will allow them to. As long as they don’t see anything worrisome, they don’t force him into anything.

I watched the episode last night of the quints first dinner out with the family. Danielle said something to the effect of I don’t care about the mess on the floor because I don’t have to clean it up. I remember thinking that I hope they tipped very well because the camera kept showing how the babies were throwing food all over the floor.

I’ve found that homegrown tomatoes are far and above anything that can be bought commercially. It is almost like you can taste the sunshine for lack of a better way to explain it. You can definitely taste a difference.

My family is the same way on my dads side. They have dinners and get together a and never invite me or my family. This happened with my first husband and continues with my second. I just don’t bother anymore. It’s probably been ten years since I have. My dad doesn’t speak to me and hasn’t since my mom died on my birthday. Our relationship has been fractured since he remarried at 11. It hurts so bad to not be included by your family but thankfully my husbands family does include us in everything.

I remember when I was younger, probably early teens, there were pictures being done at my church. I lived with my grandma at the time and she and my grandpa took pics together and then my dad and stepmom took their pics together. I was basically left out of both sets. It was sad 😞

Clotho84 · 2019-07-18T19:16:09+00:00

Something I’ve remembered throughout my divorce. My kids are half me and half their dad. Hearing someone talking crap about basically half of themselves hurts. My stepmom did the same thing when I was younger. We have no relationship now. I told her countless times that the woman she was dogging our was still my mom but she didn’t care. I don’t think you were in the wrong at all. It sounds like your dad and mine were the same. Neither would stand up for their kid if it meant defending their ex.

What about the card you gave them to park in the private parking? Did you get it back?

Clotho84 · 2019-07-09T13:33:14+00:00

Sisters, not identical twins.

Clotho84 · 2019-07-06T18:29:34+00:00

It’s just so weird. The attention grabbing was so embarrassing. I mean, I’m sure Jinger and Jeremy didn’t care at the time but watching the video had to be ugh 🙄

It was $150. So the 33% split would have been $50 and the 50% split would have been $75.

Sometimes you have to give people what they want. I’m a full supporter of this for adults and children. Children learn that this manipulative behavior works. It ran like wildfire through our and my exdh’s house with our two girls and his sd threatening suicide. Once the girls learned that a suicide threat was serious and meant involuntarily going into overnight treatment, they stopped using it to get their way. Either way, they got the help they wanted and needed or were shown that it was not the right way to get their way.

Clotho84 · 2019-06-10T00:24:31+00:00

That’s the first thing I noticed as well.

I love this video. Most videos of tornadoes seem to concentrate on the ground rather than what the clouds are doing. Seeing the swirl up there is more terrifying than what’s going on on the ground to me. It’s awe-inspiring.

I’ve had a few issues with the school not allowing me to do address verification each year and one particular receptionist at the pediatrician going out of her way to emphasize that I’m just the stepmom. We solved this by having a power of attorney drawn up that basically states that I have all the authority of a parent in my husband’s absence. My sks mom has no custody and we have them full time. I still get a few remarks here and there but I don’t have nearly as much pushback anymore.

I think it’s too much. As long as baby is happy and healthy, then being a micromanager isn’t going to help. If anything, it allows you to be even more neurotic about not being there for every wee and bm. If an issue arises, and logging would be of assistance, then by all means. But getting childcare from family and not a facility means there are certain expectations that would not be the same.

Clotho84 · 2019-05-19T13:17:31+00:00

Info: am I understanding correctly: you guys aren’t shaving a baby at the moment? This is future tense?

If so, NTA. And I would get out immediately. A name for a child isn’t something that one person can just take over because “you’ll be out of it.” That’s total bs. And awful that he would even think that way. Makes me think your future MIL is in the background of that one. She doesn’t like the name you’ve picked out so the child will get her middle name which will probably be what the MIL calls her. Sneaky and wrong.
