Yeah, it sounds like you need to have a heart to heart with your fiance. I hope all goes well.

 

BINGO!!! on occasion she has said those exact words. I could care less what he thinks of me, as I said we dont get along persoanlly. for the kids we will agree on things, but I wont donate him a kidney...know what I mean...


the whole situation is complicated as the enviroement over at the dads house is a bit edgey.. the kids are always grounded so stepmom doesnt have to deal with them (stepmom told this to my wife, because they arent "stepmoms" kids)...anyway, we have filed for full custody as we have joint with one week with us, and the following with them..thats stressful on the kids as well. And I understand that the punishments are different at our house vs theirs...they get spanked over there for not making A's on their report cards (kind of strict in my opinion) ...so I know he's scared that he's going to get a spanking and doesnt want one, but even if he doesnt want one, he still needs to speak in a clear understanding voice of what he was asked to say..

 

There's a judge that should get kicked square in the nuts.

 

absolutely! The Judge took the easy way out instead of thinking of the kids.


Man, I am agreeing with Raoul way too often lately!

 

I totally agree....there's no stability..

 

I'm always late for the good stuff.

I agree with you (post #1).

I also agree with just about every post here.

I am somewhat in the same boat, and when the wifey does what your "wife" does I say, "Ok, you settle this, and when she (our daughter) falls on her butt, I'll just laugh and say I told you so.


-Just kidding, I wouldn't do that.


We would just talk about the issue after dinner. Once we (wife and I) have our "ducks in a row", we'd call the kiddo in the room, and we have a simple family discussion.

 

Take the rest of the day off....you'll thank me later.

 

Too much going on here, wish I could.

 

I wish I had more time to play.

 

Part of it might just be a woman's ways too...

My wife and I have the same type of things come up on occasion and we have a straight forward situation.

She thinks I'm being too strict at times. I don't typically raise my voice and I only get angry if they are just ignoring us, etc.

On occasion there are times I think she is henpecking them too much. I don't think they need to be browbeat over everything.

We generally keep our comments to ourselves until the children are elsewhere.

Tough situation...

 

You deffintly have your hands full. Your going to have to pick your battles until you have a more definite arangement. Good Luck.

 

thanks guys...yeah I know I need to pick my battles and i do...trust me.

Anyway, it felt good to Vent here, then head to Best buy and play some PS3 (MotoStorm kicks total ***)...

thanks for listening...

 

Hey, I need some ideas for your sig......I got PSP installed.

Let me know what you'd like.

 

Haha...you should feel for my parents. I'm the first one out of the house out of FIVE boys. I'm 19. The youngest is 5. They've got 13 years to go. But Dinty, I understand where your wife is coming from, my mother stands up for us all of the time when my dad is angry, usually about something stupid.

 

Back in business are we? Hope you don't charge him as much as you did me!
