Doing it alone and loving it!

This is a venting post along with seeking out advise.

As you all know from some of my previous posts I have tried and tried to have a coparenting relationship with my ex but always seem to be the one giving everything and him always taking... well today was the straw that broke this mama's back. I got a call from the ex this morning telling me that he would not be able to take the kids tonight like planned becuase he didn't have any food or money to get food. I was pissed and frustrated because… Continue

As many of you know I have been struggling with my ex taking good care of my monsters (yes, I am still calling them monsters :)) Well this weekend was the final straw. My little one is all banged up (again) from going down the slide head first at the park. This normally would not be cause for calling child protection but last week he broke out his front tooth because he was not being watched at the park and my ex put him on a big kid swing and gave him a huge push.

Ex was a no call no show all weekend long. I secretly was hoping he was gone for good but much to my amazement he showed up at the house late Sunday night.

Umm … that is my business!!! I could tell he was in one of his moods so I didn’t push the subject. He wanted to take… Continue

I am so sick and tired of bending over backwards for the ex and not getting anything in return. I have borrowed him money, let him use my vehicle and get it returned on E, taken in the kids at no notice because he has to go somewhere, lived without a schedule and allowed him to come in and out of their life whenever the timing suites him, gave in to 50/50 custody even though he is nowhere near involved in their life 50% of the time, stored his things at my house for almost a year, had the kids m… Continue
