Non-residential parents and step-parents

[SillyMe]

She said that to me right after New Years...

I am surprised your son still wants to even go over there. I have a feeling one day he's going to say "I'm not doing it anymore."

Wow , well you ex DH is a dufus for getting involved with her. He set his son up with a stepmother that isnt real interested in having his child around. Your son could have had a fabulous stepmother to love him along with you guys and you XDH gave him this witch. Thats real nice. My husband told me upfront love me/love my child if you dont like it you can hit the road.
Thank God Brad was a cutie

Yes, well...when we separated, ex-H spent one night at his dad's, and then moved in with her. No, they weren't seeing each other beforehand, but we did know her. He is just one of those people who can't be alone, so he took what was there.

He doesn't want to hurt Dad's feelings.

One day he'll have the chance to tell her exactly how he feels.

My sons dad and I hae no problem sharing clothes and toys. When my son was first born though (we were not together)he expected me to send diapers and food each time he had him. My response to that was-when he gets older do I have to provide his toilet paper and meals when he goes to your house? Luckily that made sense to him. I would send some in the diaper bag of course I just didn't stock his house with the diapers.

Well, my son is home. They were out at a store yesterday and Dad and stepmonster looked at hairdryers. They were $16. They didn't buy one.

I did some poking around earlier online. Their mortgage is $35,000 less than mine. They both have full time jobs. They both drive 10+ year old vehicles. They don't use credit cards or go on vacation. I'd assume they're not hurting for money...yet they can't spring for $16 for a hairdryer.

Unreal.
