Hi! I briefly introduced myself on TD before things went crazy. I tend to hang out on TTGP, but would love the support of some similarly-challenged ladies as well.
Im 26, DH 30. SD is 5 (going on 25, anyone else?!)... It's been a raging storm of chaos as BM is particularly challenging and power-hungry, but things seem to be mellowing out and settling in fine. BM has "primary physical custody", which based on our custody arrangement means two extra school days a month... so basically 50/50. She has her tuesdays after school until either friday morning at school or sunday morning (rotates every other week). That leaves us with either Fri-Tues or Sun-Tues. That works well.
I don't want to get into the drama and craziness of our particular situation, but as a first-time SM (currently TTC my first and our first together), it has been a bit of a wild ride. Overwhelming, exhausting, and I don't really understand why things have to be so dang complicated and difficult. I'm not here to take anyones place, I'm here to love and support and raise my own family - which absolutely includes SD. I mind my own business, but it's hard when BM doesn't do the same and just wants more money and last-minute changes and demands.... I'm sure if this board gets lively, I'll have plenty of opportunity to spell it out. For now, just praying for world peace ;o)
