Good luck with the new bubba bubno3 hope they have a safe arrival soon.

Marlin I said we are happy "Most" of the time lol.

i think the biggest issue we have at the moment is my DS12 he has turned into a surly preteen that knows everything and has an attitude problem. My DH and my ex absolutely despise each other and that doesnt help because DH will always say "He is turning out just like his father" which isnt a good thing trust me lol. I personally think it is a jealousy issue with my DH he wishes he was their dad and hates having to share them with a person he hates if that makes sense, I am hoping that starting high school next year will knock some of the smartass out of DS as he will be at the bottom of the food chain again instead of the top iykwim and will have to pull his head in a bit. DH absolutely adores all of the kids but when DS comes back from his fathers house he is horrible because he gets away with it over there and my ex has a stepson 13 who is an absolute spolit nightmare he gets heaps of pocket money for no chores, he is allowed way too much freedom and DS is granted the same liberties when he is there so although he has no desire to live with his dad he thinks that he can act like that when he comes home. I guess we are sricter because we are raising them 24/7 and have to be and he gets to be the fun parent with no boundaries. Sorry for the rant but it actually feels good to be able to express it.
