Thanks for the info. I was reading the rule changes and discovered this tonight. My father is also considering co sponsoring him although I really hate to put that responsibility on him. I'm definitely way over 125% of the poverty line now (although it doesn't always feel that way... ha ha). I can't help but shake my head. When Moh and I first started out, my parents were anything but accepting of him. They wouldn't even speak of him. Now they absolutely adore him. I think my father is enjoying rediscovering this country through his eyes.

Now if I could just STOP fretting about how that darlin is going to get home from work tonight. He refuses to let me come and get him. He says he'll "find a way". Stubborn. So instead of driving in the middle of the night to get him, I'll just be staring at the ceiling worrying. LOL

Hope everyone is having a great night.

Not having a bad day, try having a bad half year! And it keeps getting worse and worse! And I'm talking about good kids (no drugs, good grades)! When they are separate - they're fine, but together - i don't know what to do with them and how to deal with them! It's like talking to my foot - I bet it'll hear me and understand much better!

I'm just not used to having 2 teenagers at the same time - one used to live with the ex, but decided for whatever reason to be with us. Without a man in the house and no father figure around.... I'm just glad they're not girls! I imagine at the ages we're at it would be even worse!

Do they see their dad at all throughout the week? If not why don't you set up a schedule? I count on every other weekend off to have "me time" and to regroup. Raising two kids alone is hard work and harder when you have a fulltime job on top of it all. You need a mental health day off every so often or you will start telling people that "kids suck".

I'm sure you don't mean it and are just having a hard day. See if someone can take them for a weekend so you can have a break.

No, doodle. They don't see him very often - they hate him now. And it's not because of me, I don't tell them that he's bad or anything. He complains about me, said 'she's dead to me' and still talks ####### about me all the time! That's one of the reasons my oldest got back to us and doesn't want to stay with ex.

The ex cares about our kids so much, he owed a Christmas and a B-day present from 2005 to my son up until recently. And what did he do? Instead of getting him an I-pod or something cool, he gets him a cheap a... clock for maybe $10!!!

So, they're both discusted with my ex and don't want to have to do anything with him. I keep telling them that he's their father. I know I missed mine when he left!

Ok, let me re-frase what I said be4: "TEENAGERS SUCK!" not kids. They were pretty sweet and nice when they were kids. And you're right, I need some alone time, when I get home it feels like a war zone - they argue or do something noisy all the time. Maybe, I'm just tired of everything, don't know.

And now this 'snow day' is catching up with me - i have to work extra time on top of 50 hour week!
