They won't bump it up court over booked now. We just have to live with it and I am at the end of my ropes. Dad has been on layoff for 36 months, Mom don't support the children so who does I do. I pay for it all clothes, drivers ed, clay shooting team, and i make 10 cents over IL mimum wage. It...

It may be time to talk to her women to women and ask her if maybe talking to a therapist might help her. If she started this new behavior when she dropped out of college I am willing to bet it is the root of the behavior. Did she live on campus or did she commute and live at home with you...

You might want to check with your child's school most of them don't allow home made treats anymore. My children's school hasn't allowed them for about 9 years now. I do think that you need to stay away from the candy. I don't send it any more myself we send a snack pack of apples and caramel...

He has been looking into a child advocate not only for that reason he don't want them talking to the judge without one in the chambers. I have my day off tomorrow and had planned to slip out of the house and make the call. We don't know the court date as of yet the paper work was filed the 18 of...

It does right now were waiting on the motion to modify to go through and he hopes that the Judge will talk to the children if that doesn't work then I myself will contact social services and see what advice they can give. I hate thinking that this weekend that they will be their but I have to...

That's about the same here. They have to phyiscally see them doing it and they just won't knock on the door and search the home. The only ones who sees it are the children we haven't but I can sure smell it on them. I have to wash their stuff the second they come through the door because the...

Yes our lawyer told us at this point doing that while he is in the middle of a dispute over visitation would look vindictive and would most likely go unheard by Social Services. That is one of the parts that keeps me up at night. The last time they went two weeks ago neither one of us slept and...

All the counselling in the world and they have lots has not helped. She is a stranger to them and their time spent there is being shoved out of the house to wonder the streets and being told to be back before midnight or they are locked out. They walked the 8 blocks to grandpa's house and sat...

We live in IL and the judge is clear force if necessary to make them go. Right after that hearing my husband filed to have the visitation terminated and for the children to have a say in front of the judge so that they may voice their concerns on why they don't want to go. Now its a wait game...

We had a 77 pace arrow and had to have seat belts re-installed in it. We went through our mechanic who added metal under the seat to add the safety belts to. In the end it worked but understand that the car seats don't work when hooked side ways but at least you have peace of mind. Don't short...

I don't understand it at all. My son at 4 had to have surgery to have one tooth pulled and caps put on 4 others due to no protective coating on his teeth. The dentist only pulled the one he marked on the x-rays and only capped the ones he showed us and then put a clear sealer on the other teeth...

I have also been in your shoes with my in laws. Both my husband and I came into our marriage having two from our past marriages. His mom and dad were close to what you are going through. My husband would send the kids they would come home with bags of stuff and would have been to eat at...

Be patient it will come you have nothing to be jealous over. Just remember you walked into this relationship knowing that she had a child and an ex. They will always and I mean always have to communicate because of that child. There will be graduations, birthdays, holidays and births. You have...

I have 5 at home and they range from 14 to 18 months. We have had the standing rule for two years now that everyone has a wash day. My parents did this with me and my three other sisters. Our daughter does hers on Sunday so everything is clean for the week for school. The two older boys 14 and...

I have two step-children and they were smaller 3 and 4 and are now 14 and soon to be 15. At first we had the whole not talking to me thing asking dad for stuff and not asking me when needed even if I was closer and doing nothing. My husband and I had to sit down and talk wit them. He explain...
