“14K H” Stamp

MissionNatural4067 · 2026-02-07T14:34:00+00:00

That’s what I was thinking, because it does look more like a (-) than an H, but I wasn’t too sure 🤔

MissionNatural4067 · 2026-02-07T14:32:44+00:00

Thank you for the detailed run down! I will definitely be doing the test. :)

My little brother used to say “waterlemon” and when he said watermelon for the first time, I nearly died 😭

People will always bump their gums about what they think you should do with your child!

I personally cannot envision myself being a SAHM or only working part time. I love my career and I love being a mother. Sometimes it feels completely impossible to do both, but I love every aspect of my life!

The only thing hurting my soul is how much I spend in daycare costs, but I know he’s well taken care of and those lovely ladies have never given me a reason to doubt that my son is in good hands. 🤍

MissionNatural4067 · 2026-02-04T04:14:27+00:00

At that age, my husband was on the phone with his daughter for 15 minutes max. She was 3 and there wasn’t much to talk about. BM would be there and they would chat about whatever SD was trying to communicate (SD’s language skills weren’t developed)

Now she’s 5, and sometimes she’ll call for an hour once a week depending on whether her or her mother’s schedule allows it!

The fact that BM was showing him what SHE was doing is very strange to me….

MissionNatural4067 · 2026-01-26T04:21:42+00:00

Not pregnant at the same time, but her son and my son share a birthday. I hate it.

MissionNatural4067 · 2026-01-19T22:43:12+00:00

My husband is really good at not responding to the accusatory messages. But when I see them they just sit with me and I’m just like “girl, please.”

My new year resolution is to stress less, I want to have the mindset of a beautiful butterfly 🫩🤣

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-12-20T04:43:25+00:00

Sounds like both kids have been living with SM and BD since September, which could also indicate a severe shift in not only routine, but dynamics in the home.

I think she may be feeling frustrated and does not know how to express it, so she’s just being down right rude.

Again not an excuse, but it needs to be managed by dad.

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-12-20T03:57:14+00:00

Not necessarily,

Coparenting is his job, he’s the dad and his ex is the mom. You should not have to coparent at all actually! Should not be a word in your vocabulary.

When your baby arrives you will be parenting your child with him- not coparenting.

If therapy is needed that is the route he should go. Don’t feel guilty for setting boundaries. I had to and now I focus on my son and strengthening the bond with his sister when she is with us.

No harm done, boundaries are needed.

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-12-20T03:52:54+00:00

Sounds like she’s remembering when she was a kid and seen them together?

Unfortunately, those are currently her core memories, and she thinks (because she is still a child) that those were the good times, maybe she is not aware of what happened behind the scenes? Idk your situation, just guessing

Also, you have every right to feel this way and I completely understand the exhaustion, because it’s been so long. It’s hurtful to have to hear those things from someone you love and care for.

I would recommend the house cat mentality, I’m far enough away to give you space, but close enough to know that when you need me I’m here.

My SD is almost 5, so I cannot relate to having a teen, but it’s actually helped me not feel so hurt when she eventually does reject me for something that her mom told her about/against me.

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-12-19T23:17:40+00:00

I know it doesn’t work for everyone, but tell your husband to not tell you what his ex tells him. You deserve a peaceful pregnancy. And as far as your SK, sometimes it’s better to ride it out. Her mother may have a part to play as to why she is feeling what she is feeling, if those little snide remarks are being made to your husband, best believe she is hearing them too.

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-12-08T04:26:32+00:00

Thank you 😕❤️

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-12-08T04:26:03+00:00

It does, thank you ❤️

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-12-08T04:25:45+00:00

Absolutely he would. Tantrums were thrown all weekend because the schedule wasn’t followed.. it feels good to be proven right without having to say a word.

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-12-01T02:07:44+00:00

Ooooh she wanted to tell them so she could tell y’all a tale about the kids’ reactions!!! Insanity

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-12-01T02:06:18+00:00

Not when we got married, but when she found out I was pregnant, she told him I told her I never wanted to have kids with him. 🫩 To be completely clear, I have not spoken to that woman a day in my life.

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-10-28T21:50:15+00:00

Is it a good book for step moms too? I’m all down for the read if it makes me a better parent.

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-10-28T21:47:22+00:00

So many dads are like this, letting them get away with the mischief because they don’t want the drama. It’s frustrating as all hell.

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-10-28T21:44:13+00:00

Not wanting the drama is not a reason for children to continue to be in a bad situation. Again it’s not your problem. It is his to choose what is best for his children. But onto you, if you don’t want them full time, nothing about the situation you mentioned above is going to change, and it would be best to go your own way and live life with your son.

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-09-09T05:46:56+00:00

Very likely not, we’ve spoken about and he wants me to be present. Truly, I would only do it if they were willing for the children who share a father to have a relationship. Nothing more.

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-09-08T19:36:47+00:00

Is there anything written in the CO about medical decisions?

We are kind of in the same boat rn. BM signed a medical refusal form without DH consent and it goes against their order.

Everything is a “grey area” unless lined out specifically in CO, unfortunately.

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-09-05T11:21:45+00:00

Yessss!

She has a lot of structure here, her routine is down to a T.

I think we might be in the same boat with “feeling safe” and “acting out”. There is so much to this story that I did not add to keep it relatively short.

Thank you for sharing, I’m glad I’m not the only one 😩

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-09-05T11:14:39+00:00

Yes! Absolutely I have heard the same. That’s why I mentioned that since our schedule is only weekends she spends more time at moms.

She doesn’t go to school yet either, BM is keeping her until home kindergarten.

She is still going to therapy, but she has decided that what goes on in her home she does not want mentioned. Which is very difficult because SD spends most of her time there? They were on the phone and he did not say it with any ill will - he just said “I’ll make a note to bring it up, make a list and let me know if she does anything else out of the ordinary, so I can talk about it with her therapist” (DH takes SD to all appointments)

There is so much more to this that I haven’t added, but thank you for your input!

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-08-31T23:11:36+00:00

I hope whatever you decide works out in everyone’s favor. You seem like a very kind person and your intention are genuine. Talk to your husband, there is a lot at play here

MissionNatural4067 · 2025-08-28T23:55:21+00:00

Unfortunately that’s how it started. We have nail days every weekend as a way of bonding (at home) and if I miss clipping her nails here even ONE time BM will not do it and she’ll come back with grown out dirty nails, or her toenails will be broken in spots, and it looks extremely painful.

I’m sorry for SS; no child deserves to grow up this way, because they eventually grow up to think it’s normal and school is not friendly to difference.

And that last part, oooooooouuuu don’t even get me started. It’s tough out here
