The Step Parents Refurbished Wine Bar

[BarfTheHeraldAngelsHeave]

The refurbished SP Wine Bar is once again open, as while you don't have to drink to be a Step Parent, it helps.

Contact changed at no notice?

Disney Dad and sulky Skids?

Damned if you do and damned if you don't???

Ahhh, thats better!

My DD does that - find her in my bed sometimes and gives me a shock! She's 8
Gives DP even more of a shock as his DCs are better trained in that respect.

Glad it's not just us - sometimes - there are 6 of us watching TV - me dh dd dsd ds1 and ds2 and when dss lived at home him too - all sort of draped Across the bed in a squashed huddle - the older dcs are way to old for it - but the mini dcs love it - family tv time!

Sounds nice, but better for watching TV than getting any sleep! DD is getting rather heavy to lift back to her own bed these days so don't bother unless DP is staying round. I've always been pretty relaxed with her about it - assume she'll outgrow it sometime soon.

We don't sleep like it it's more a gradual morning thing - as each one wanders in.

Happy New Year all of you.

I am feeling quite fragile today and I suspect I may not be the only one! how are you all?

I seem to be indulging more this evening than I did last night - I only had a couple last night

I had a couple...of bottles.

erk

We had an overdose of DSS (25-29 Dec), even DH was glad to take him back to his mothers. I now have respite until 4pm Thursday. Am drinking something chilled and intoxicating to celebrate that even DH gets p*ssed off with his solid-gold, diamond-encrusted son at times .......

Happy New Year wickeds !

Have been rather mugged by the SSs over the Yule, they get through so much food, drink and money don't they? I think elder SS has decided he's going to stay for a while although he doesn't know how long, - I have a feeling he has had a falling out with mum but will not say. I don't mind him being here at all but would just like to know is he here or not, for food quantities mainly

Hello, im new to this so dont really know what im doing. Ive been with my boyfriend for four and a half years and we have a daughter of 18 month together, he also has a son with somebody who is four. I met my boyfriend when his son was one years old and im very close to him but the situation is difficulty with my boyfriends sons mum and even though we do support her she is asking for more money that we just dont have to give. Anyone in a similar situation with advice?

Morning no advice at the mo but will look in again tomorrow when not half asleep. Others will be along then too I'm sure,

I'm just moseying in after my rant!

Gin anyone???

Nice prob best to start a new thread :) and welcome.

Had a lovely weekend and off all week - hooray :)

Same here Petal - DH dropped dsds's off at their mums last night and they have been here since Thurs am. dsd2 was her usual cheery self yesterday and even DH said he was keeping his cool by reminding himself they would soon be back at their mums!

Hey all... is there any going spare?

DD had a bit of a breakdown tonight on realising she was never going to see her step sister unless things change.. oh grrr

How are you all..?

(my liver and kidneys need me to go back to work and off the drinks, but then its centre parcs for 4 nights the week after!)

Me too MJ! - DSis bought me a bottle for xmas - not tried it before but is v nice :)

How did it take me this long to find the wine bar?! And only when I'm bloody pregnant as well. Grrrr.

DSD and DSS knackered from school this week so have gone to bed with no complaints - am blissfully enjoying a child-free zone as early as 9pm! Time to crack open the sparkling water...
