My husband and I have shared custody of his 2 kids, every other week, i have full custody of mine. his ex is causing problems, she wants me to keep the kids before and after school on her week, I did that last year and she took advantage, not pick them up on time or ask us to keep them overnight, all with no warning. I never knew if I was cooking for 2 or4, could'nt make any plans cause I had to wait on her. We are suppose to be at her beckon call on her week to have the kids even the weekend. I usually run them around 3 or 4 days a week on her week. She never helps on our week if someone needs a ride or anything. I told her "no" for the second time in a year, and she is mad, and is using the kids to get even, first she told us "then I'm not letting u get the kids for church on my Sun.", then she called my hubs mom and told her we are mean to the kids. Now, she is trying to turn his 11yr old girl against us and is trying to talk her into moving w/ her to another state. My hubs mom said that My hub and his ex should sit down alone and discuss how they want to raise the kids and what the schedule should be. I should stay out of it cause I'm not a parent. Is this right? Shouldn't my hub and I decide what rules are in our house. She is very irresponsible and parties all the time she got arrested last month for pub intox and fighting.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
No, it's not right! You are just as involved in this as they are. This is your house and you help take care of those kids when they are with you and their father.
I hate when people think that the step parents have no role in decision making or important issues just because the child is not biologically theirs, it's bullsh*t!
Your house, YOUR rules! :)

My DH doesn't make any decisions about his son, until he speaks to me first. Usually, I have better ideas about the situation, then he does. Doesn't hurt, that I can outwit the evil ex! LOL
Good luck!!! You are gonna need it. It's never easy dealing with a nasty, evil ex. Keep us posted.
