I can not wait until this summer. The legal ties to my husband's ex will be cut forever when my SS turns 18. We will still have to put up with her occasionally at mutual events but we won't have to deal with her where the kids are concerned.
For my stepson's graduation this year, the ex won't even give dad one of the eight tickets the family is given so he can attend his own son's graduation. Such a nice person!
We have about 1-1/2 years left until my husband's legal relationship with his ex ends and boy are we ready! There will be a party and a bonfire (to burn all those years of documents/contact). I've thought about using document imaging software to save important papers, and we may still do that, but for most of it - huge bonfire in the backyard. HUGE!!!
Hopefully, she'll be able to see the flames in her state! Bring on July, 2013.
What type of building is better for farm animals (horses mainly)? Our horses are stabled at a barn that is is cement (keeps it cooler in the summer which is nice), but I was wondering about wood or steel buildings as well. What's best for the horses? What is better cost-wise? What is easiest to maintain?
We have one year and seven months until my husband's child support is done. I have planning to do on FINALLY being able to get into a house that we can actually fit into in one year and seven months. Can't wait!!
This Friday is the big day. The day hubby is going to go 30+ hours without sleep so he can see his daughter in another state play for about ten minutes in her marching band, driving nine hours - on no sleep - driving home really late at night - on no sleep. I'm thinking he'll get home around 4 a.m. or so. Yeah, that's real smart.
Dad didn't even go to our teenager's marching band performance a week ago and he lives here because of his sleep/work schedule. If our daughter realizes dad is going to watch her sister in another state but didn't adjust his sleep schedule by only two hours to see her performance, she's going to be hurt. A little emotional blackmail from an almost 18 year old girl works on dad apparently and that whole sleep/work thing doesn't matter any longer. If he kills himself, or somebody else on the road, in the process, then what the heck are his six kids going to do?
My husband told me yesterday that I am even turning away from him in my sleep. What does that tell you about my anger level about this trip when my subconscious doesn't want anything to do with him either? This trip is an accident waiting to happen, a financial strain not only for the money needed for the trip but he's losing overtime he's supposed to work (on top of the money he just spent on my birthday which I told him NOT to and he didn't listen - hoping to butter me up a bit?), and it is giving into a "child's" blackmail.
Mommy Dearest (the ex) should be so proud of herself. She's trained her daughter well.
Then my husband asked me yesterday if I think my weight gain is stress related. Gee, ya think I'm feeling stress right now? It's definitely stress and it is definitely thyroid. A lot of the stress is from his actions, or lack thereof.
I can't respect his choice here. Not only is it stupid and dangerous, he went against everything we agreed upon before I would agree to marry him - that we would discuss decisions that affect our family together when it concerned his kids and his ex. If somebody else was running the show, I wanted no part in it and I made that very clear before I accepted his marriage proposal. Apparently, his daughter runs things now. He certainly didn't talk to me about this before he made his decision. He knows how I feel about it. I hope he can live with the consequences because he's shredding my respect and trust. If he gets himself hurt or killed, our four young kids are going to be devastated. I can't speak for his two older kids because they don't give him the time of day ever - can't even be bothered to send him a text on Father's Day, or call, or visit. I'm not even sure why the emotional blackmail to get dad to this thing on Friday. The ex did say she'd save a seat. Isn't that sweet of her?
