Really.  But all year, I do the same thing at games.  I take the baby, we
sit on the bleachers until he gets restless, then we move to the other side
of the diamond until he gets restless, then we go home.
BM has _seen_ this at every game.  And don't tell me she hasn't noticed.

I left my soon to be ex-wife a year ago next month, she has made no attempt to
come out to see them nor does she request that I bring them to her.  We had a
really rocky marriage from the start (15 yrs ago) we have 3 children 14g/12b/9b
that I love dearly.  I always thought she ...

Heh. One post I thought I'd never write.
DH and I are splitting up. Kids don't know yet (at least not openly) but
they will next week. Shocker, huh?

12:35pm and it's 92*F in the shade.  I should be out there putting in
more veggie and herb plants, but it's starting to get a might warm.
It's nice and cool in the house.  We've got all the windows open
(except the one Xena knocked the screen out of), plus the inside

hi I am new to the group I am living now with a Bf and his 2 children that
he has custody of.  my SD keeps creating problems for BD, BM, and myself.
the BP have recently split and SD keeps telling the BM stories to try to
make me look like a monster when all i have done has been ...

I hate the Mother's Day season.  When the kids were little it was never "my
turn" or even "1/2 hour" to have the kids on Mother's Day.  In spite of
BioParents saying that I was a parent as much as they, I never got
anything or any acknowledgement.  Here it is 20 years later and I ...

Looks like my trip to AZ will be in July.  Baby Bro is thinking about
getting married on the 6th or 7th.

Barclay sent a 5 page letter on Friday to one of his sons.  Today it was
returned in an enveloped addressed to no one, just to our house.  No
response, not even anger, or a f.ck off and leave me alone. I expect he
didn't even read it.

I just found this forum, thank god, as I am really pretty frayed with
dealing with a lot of step parenting issues.
A little background is I have been with my husband for 4 years.  I have
never been married before and have no kids of my own, and I am in my 30s.

I am asking for help.  I have a step child that has never known his
biological father.  My son has a desire to meet this person to satisfy
many questions he has had over the years.
Are there support groups for children trying to find parents like

The mother of my 6 year old step daughter was never married to my husband.
I'll call her Tammy.  Tammy got pregnant 3 months into their
relationship--just as he was about to end the relationship.  She was going
to abort the child and was literally laying on a table in an abortion

Can someone please type up a little glossary of all the abbreviations that
are used in this forum?  It can be a little bit like alphabet soup.  :)  
Thanks.

Hey there -
haven't posted on here in a little while - just lurking - but have a
question...
How do you get your information out in court if you do not have a lawyer and

Was looking for some opinions/advice on what I can do with my
situation, if anything.  Long story short, my wife had an affair that
led to a child, and the 'father' successfully petitioned for paternity
and now has visitation once every two weeks.  We both desire him out

Hoping to get some ideas thrown my way...
My SD comes over every other weekend. When it's time for bed, it's a
nightmare.
We try to put here in bed around 9:00 on the weekends but she doesn't
