Nutty Stepmum's Club (NSC) - Who Wants To Join Us?

[SadSam]

Howdy!!!! Squirrel 3 and I have decided that as we are a bit nutty, we'd like to set up the Nutty Stepmum's Club or NSC. If anyone would like to join us, please add to this post and prove that we are not the only nutters out there!

We would like to add a little bit more nuttyness to our already insane lives!!!!

Heres a really bad joke too

Guy goes into a bar.

Fella behind the bar is turning round and round slowly.

'What are you doing?' says the customer

Bartender says.....................................................................................................................................................................................................'I'm a counter revolutionary'

Altogether now...groan

Are you saying that my joke was that bad? lol

lol squirrel I quite liked your joke. the only jokes I know are really bad ones. I ahve a really god line in elephant jokes but I wont get started on those

lol, sorry to have to do this but I have to go back to the 'icky' boxer subject.

DP said that he would deal with the boxers to save SS from embaressment, so silly me I assumed that he had... (with everything else thats going on I didn't check that he had)

Well, I ve just gone into the bedroom and the offending item is still there!!!!!!

We have got the Skids tonight (that's if BM allows DP to have them!) Do I leave them there (to teach DP a lesson) or do I wash them?

Id leave em def leave em. After all his kids therefore his kids washing No??

Its ok, I've just 'solved' the problem, I've thrown them in the bin, the bin men are taking them away as we speak!!!!

[GRIN]

Good old binmen waht would we do without them eh.

Oh no!!!!!

I've just thought.....

If he stays tonight, what if he does it again?!!!

Must make sure he watches nothing remotely 'exciting' on TV!!!!!!!

Got to go now, off to the hospital,

Thanks for the chat tarantula, it did me good to think about something else for a while.

Hope everything goes well at the hospital with your granddad. speak to you soon

Hope your grandad is okay Squirrel and you are feeling a bit better. Thinking of you xxx

Hi. Long time no speak. So sorry to hear about glum times. Squirrel I am sending positive thoughts to your grandad at this moment.

Sadsam what is going on with those kids? Doesn't your DP want children to be proud of not one's that make people cringe? He's not helping them by allowing that behaviour...but hey we know that. I reckon that you need to let him get on with it and enjoy the time that you get we he's gone to get them.

Tarantula, you know I think some of the loveliest weekends are spent at home. However I made the mistake of relying on the weather. Went for walk in the New Forest with Dh, sd and dog. Nice and sunny. Not for long. Left the washing on the line, left the roof open on the car and locked the guinea pigs out while the cage dried. Or so I thought......it then poured with rain.
We ended up eating the picnic in the car!

Hey ho that's the costa england.

Chin up my lovelies...the summers on its way

Oh reflection, do you live near the New Forest?

My Nan and Grandad lived in Bournemouth for several years, when my children were young we used to meet up in the New Forest and camp for a few weeks...

You have just brought back so many happy memories...

OMG, here I go again, tears flowing, but in a good way.

Thank you. x

I must be going mad because the first thing I did when I got back from the hospital was to go on here, must be because you are all so, so, so...

well, you know...

Thank you for all of your good wishes everyone.

Squirrel....a very big hug to you.

Yes, I live near the forest and I love it. Not in it unfortunatly but just a short drive. Do you ever get to visit? Maybe when you have finished training you could look forward to some time there. How long do you have to train?

We will be there for our summer holiday with Skids, the first week of the school holidays, we went last year and the Skids loved it.

I'm really looking forward to it now.

Hope everything went ok at the hospital squirrel.

Ah the weather in England Reflection Its great isnt it.....not. We were lucky and didnt get any rain till Sunday evening and dp noticed on time and got all the washing in. Ive got him well trained
Id lvoe to live near the New Forest or somewhere like that. We re lucky tho that we have plenty of parks near us like Richmond and Nonsuch Parks so cant complain really and we arent far from Box Hill and places like that either.

That's great squirrel. Isn't it weird that we could walk right past each other and we would never know?

tarantua, but close to London?..great shopping.

Hi all. Squirrel, I do hope you grandad is better and you are also feeling better.
Keep your chin up hun, thinking of you as always. xx

Reflection, thank you so much for your kind words. I know its just that hes too scared to tell them off in case they dont want to come again (he only sees them once a month), but I also know its no excuse and I am feeling very sensitive and down at the moment, so it feels doubly worse.

I love this site, just reading everyones kind messages and wishes to each other has cheered me up so much. I will never know you, but I love you all thank you

Sam try and explain to him that not telling the kids off can make then think that he doesn't care. That it could come across as Dad can't be bothered. You know that this isn't true but children feel secure with boundries. It takes effort to parent and children know this instictively. High expectations are a sign of love and he doesn't have to shout and scream just pull them up. Tell them that he expects better from them as they are bright and beautiful children.....I know.....pigs might fly. I bet you feel like banging your head on the wall. But it is maybe another view of things that he has not concidered. I have a very liberal upbringing and now I know that that was because thay just didn't give a sh**.

You going on holiday this year?

Could sit here all day but got to go. SS coming over for dinner so must fly. Cheerio and good luck everyone.

(15mins late for work this am... So will be in early tomorrow and check up on you all)

Hi Reflection, thank you for your kind words once again. It is so hard and you are right, I do feel like im banging my head against a brick wall.

As for a holiday.... I wish I were going away somewhere this year, but money is very tight at the moment and I really need a holiday. Even if we do go, weve been told by BM that we have to take the kids with us, she has even got their passports sorted out. She has told skids that we may take them to Disneyland Florida, yeah right, I wish. How the hell does she expect us to afford that with £400 per month CSA to pay, £650 per month mortgage etc etc......... Hmmm now let me think!!!!

Sadsam , thank you for your messages of support

In fact thank you everyone?

Sam, your DP needs to know that being a parent means giving the kids boundaries as well as love, he needs to know that they will not stop loving him if he is a good Dad and enforces ground rules.

Reflection said it far more eloquently than I can at the mo, just wanted to add my support.

No, I'm not going on holiday this year either but I thought I would add in a little light hearted conversation.

Dh was made redundent at the end of last year and as his new business is just starting to pick up I'm just getting excited about being able to pay the bills....

However I shall be making my little garden a haven of relaxation and just maybe I will manage to imagine being in the tropics...

Feeling a little stressed, but I cant stop the nuttyness...

Look at this
