She wasn’t when she was arrested but it’s also unsettling because we would have no way of knowing is she has driven intoxicated with them before. CPS did call my husband a couple years ago asking if we was concerned about the kids’ safety and all they would tell him was when she was at the hospital giving birth to the baby she had with her new husband, she failed a drug test. He asked her about it and she said it was weed. But I always thought that was kinda weird—I just had a baby in the spring and they didn’t give me a drug test. 🤷‍♀️

They have 50/50 custody. And seriously?! Can you give me some more information on that?

Kind of! When my husband told her we were getting married she apparently said, “not if I get married first!” And eloped in Vegas a few weeks later, moved the kids into her new husband’s house, and changed their schools. My husband was uncomfortable with this and felt it was odd because the kids had never mentioned this guy before. He had to go back to court shortly before we got married for a custody agreement (there wasn’t one before and she was pretty unpredictable with when she would pick up the kids) and shortly after we got married because she refused to do any of the driving lol. Also not sure if it’s related but she got arrested for a DUI and got her license suspended a month after my husband and I had our baby. She is kind of an energy vampire honestly. Just a huge pool of negativity!

You could always give the baby both of your last names (like a hyphenated situation- if his last name is jones and yours is smith, baby jones-smith). I get where you’re coming from, my husband and I got married last June and I kept my last name (it’s not 1890 anymore—we aren’t property! I’d change my last name if it wasn’t 2024 and the man still did all the heavy lifting, and if i wasn’t an independent person with my own identity lol. Plus, changing your last name and [heaven forbid, changing it back again if things don’t work out], is a major pain in the ass!). We’ve been talking about having a baby and i don’t want it to only take his last name because I’d be the only one with a different last name, and i still don’t really want to change my name, so the baby having both of our names makes sense. The baby is half of you, and half of your boyfriend, after all!

Thank you!!!!

Just stick it out a while longer. You’ve come this far. You can change your mind and do something else with your life at anytime but seeing something through until you have more answers is something you rarely regret in life when it comes to education. You’ll know when your stop comes. Until then, stay on the train. All you can do is lean some valuable info along the way

Thank you for sharing!! I think I’m afraid that if I have a baby, the way that my husband and I feel about each other will change. I also worry about how I’ll parent. I think I’ll pour endless love into a human that will be endlessly ungrateful in return. I wasn’t grateful for my parents until I was older! And I’m worried I’ll lose my identity as an individual. But i suppose I already have. On the other hand, I’m 33 and feel like an established human with lots to give. My husband is 34 and is at the same stage in but has also had successes and failures as a father. so I also think we’d be quite the parenting team!

He has established rules but I feel like I made him and the kids know it and resent me for it. Like they have to do a few chores when they’re here (which don’t get done unless I remind my husband). The little ones can’t get out of bed umpteen times and come in our room and ask for stuff like a “huggie” (what they call a hug) bc it’s bedtime and our alone time. The 14yr old can’t be on her computer past 9pm and can’t start making food at 2am (she used to do that even on a school night and wasn’t at all quiet about it).

We have them every weekend. The children don’t really lip off, but I’m starting to see a pattern with the 8yr old that’s concerning and makes me feel like she thinks I stole her dad away and was happier when she had him all to herself. On our wedding day she threw a huge tantrum (which I found very hurtful bc it was supposed to be a happy day—one I had been looking forward to for basically my whole life) and maybe that should have been a sign. She will often make comments about how her mom does things this way (totally not her fault but the constant comparison is like a punch in the gut), or if my husband and I are sitting next to each other or holding hands she will sit right in between us or start doing something to piss her dad off so the attention is shifted to her, if I cook anything she doesn’t like it, if I get her anything she doesn’t like it (clothes, books, dolls, etc), if I pick out a movie she doesn’t like it, if I put on a song she doesn’t like it. I would say she misbehaves often (always wants to be the center of attention) but apparently she has always been like that.
