    Adopting Step Child/ren...

    Mom2Many, I didn't mean to bring up the dreadful past. It appears that you have a happy family though! I guess you gotta take the good with the bad and I bet the kids are very happy with you. Even if they weren't "officially" yours, they are yours and they know who loves them (= Something...

    I don't know how you guys cope with the whole big summer holiday thing that you do...

    I must say I also love Sunny's reaction to that lady. LMBO!! Our summer break was crazy!! We already have a house full of kids of our own and I was on bedrest for a while. In the beginning, a little boy, relative of DH came to stay with us for a couple of weeks. I didn't mind a bit. I love kids...

    Adopting Step Child/ren...

    @Xero I'm glad you have some friends with a happy ending (= and Thank you. They do deserve someone to actually care for them and about them. Not a pretender when it's convenient for her to do so.

    Adopting Step Child/ren...

    Thanks Ladies and mom2many I'm sorry you had to go through that. I bet it was tough at times. I know the abandonment it a factor in most cases. The court is looking at it from a different aspect, I guess. We weren't supposed to be able to change the court order for at least a year after the...

    What are your kids reading?...

    I love this topic! I worked at a book printing company for a little while as a temporary job years ago and they had kind of a "book fair" where I scored all kinds of different learning books for kids and encyclopedias on animals, museums, .. some really great books for $1 each. I still have a...

    Adopting Step Child/ren...

    Has anyone here done this? DH had court this morning for C/S and it was brought up to him by the attorney that he had grounds for me to file to adopt. BM, like usual, didn't show up. They had court without her. I know BM will not let this happen willingly. The sad thing is, it isn't about the...

    Getting a woman pregnant and then leaving her...

    I don't think you have made a fool either. I think it's a good topic. I think sometimes people don't make the best decisions. a lot of pregnancies aren't planned and it's just something that happens. I fully agree that the absent father or mother should have to pay. I just think a lot more...

    Getting a woman pregnant and then leaving her...

    Yes.. Moms do it too. My mom did it to me. I have 5 SK's who all live with DH and I bc their mom's did the same. (2 previous marriages) The moms aren't paying child support and aren't in jail. Dads always get a bad rep for this and if a father wasn't paying C/S he would most likely be in jail...

    Not so Happy update, DH understands more now...

    6yo SD (Now 7 eek!) always gets the phone first now. I just have to watch her very closely. She sometimes says some really mean things to BM and I have to redirect her by tapping her on the leg and then she'll apologize for it. If she says anything that BM doesn't want to hear, BM will start...

    Getting a woman pregnant and then leaving her...

    Hi :) I totally get what you are saying and I don't think it's right by any means but it takes two to make the pregnancy happen. (in most cases). So, I don't think there should be a law. If the mother chooses to keep the baby (not abort or adopt out) He will face his reprecusions down the line...

    Somebody else's cat......

    I had this issue when I lived in an apartment complex a few years ago. Not quite the same but eh. It was just 10yo DS and I and our neighbors had 3 small cats. The staircases were enclosed and they would put the cats in the hallway and put newspapers on the floor for them to potty on. I bought...
