What is it you want from me?
I really do need to write in here more often. But the things I need to write about a lot of people don’t understand or don’t believe in what I do. Maybe I should just go back to hand writing my journal or typing them and keeping them in a binder.
With that said I am not sure what God wants from me anymore. I am not sure where I am going. I am supposed to just have faith. But I am struggling because it seems we can never get a head. Dave went full time and while the benefits are great for him as now he has health insurance I have to pay and additional $100 a month for Noah’s day care. That’s $500 a month I pay. I only make $12.06 an hour. My bring home is $781 bi weekly. That’s $1562 a month. After day care, rent, car insurance, Noah’s health insurance, phone, electric, gas for the car and cable when I can pay it, I’m negative. I was getting $60 additional per week from Dave because his ex gets all his money. Now that hes full time I get a whopping $80 a week. I spend over $50 a week in gas because my car is the one that gets used to take the kids home during the week and car Kaylee to and from church on Fridays. My car is the one that gets driven on the weekend. I just can’t do this. I work 830-530 every single day. I have no time for a second job. The only thing I can do is look for a new better paying job, but in my field the pickings are slim to none lately.
The only thing I do for myself right now to keep my self semi-sane is run. I have not had a hair cut since the end of January. I scrimped and saved to sign up for a 5k this Saturday because its the race I ran in last year I said I wanted to do every year and darn it I SHOULD do something for ME.
I am struggling with not being angry all the time. I am struggling with being happy. Dave’s girls are getting older and frankly I cannot take them anymore. Mouthy. Don’t listen. Rude. Ungrateful. Constantly have their hands on each other. Noah is still into his hitting and throwing toy phase and I’ve done everything I can to curb it. I am trying to be consistent. But how is he going to learn NOT do do these things when he sees his sisters doing the same exact thing? Then when he hits them and is being obnoxious they say UGH I HATE NOAH. Tell him to stop hitting me. I know kids will be kids BUT Kaylee is going to be 14, Zoe is 11.. THEY KNOW BETTER! When I or Dave ask them to do something the need to do it the FIRST TIME not the tenth time asked! I told Dave Sunday I can’t do this anymore.
Sunday Zoe asked for a Popsicle. I said NO because no one was listening and they were being crazy. She got pissed. So she went home and told mommy, where mommy proceeded to call me a brat. NO! I’m so sick of all this crap.
I sacrifice and go without for everyone in this household. I’m tried of being treated like garbage.
All I want to do is cry or scream or just run a way.
I want answers from GOD but I don’t get any. I work hard and try to be the best mother, wife, person I can be but its not enough. I want nothing more than to be happy and be a positive role model for my son.
I just don’t know what to do anymore. I haven’t been to church. I haven’t been reading the word. But God is ALWAYS on my mind. Everyday all day. I just don’t know what he wants from me anymore and I don’t know what else to do.
Sorry for any typos I’m at work and really don’t have time to proof read my entry.
((BIG HUGS)) Maybe God wants you to slow down and take care of YOU for a change? You definitely sound like you’re getting burnt out and I know it has to be twice as hard when you have two step-daughters who are in the mouthy, bratty phase and who have a mom who sounds rather immature herself. Take time out each night or each morning before everyone else gets up just to pray. Sometimes five minutes alone with God is enough to help you get through the day. I will certainly keep you in prayer, sweet lady!!

Why is he paying for his girls but not his son? I am confused why his NOW family is suffering for his THEN family. I would go to court and get an order because I am certain child support is a % of a pay, not all.

Money is crazy. That’s kinda what we figured with Sara, she’d be working all day and barely more than pay for day care, so it was just better for her to stay home, I don’t know how anyone affords it. And I don’t know how you handle the kids. it’s hard enough with 2 that are “ours”, I can’t imagine trying to handle 2 that have another mommy that lets them get away with everything.

I have to agree with the first note. Child support is NEVER a full paycheck. It’s a percentage of what he makes. All you can do is keep working and keep looking. Eventually life will throw you a bone, I hope sooner than later. I understand your stresses, I don’t have children to worry about, but life is an insanely stressful thing to deal with. I wonder how some keep their cool. heh <3

Also, I’m not sure what NY offers in terms of assistance, but I would try applying for food stamps or childcare. I’ve heard from a lot of people that Oregon offers WAY more than most states so I’m not really sure what your resources would be. But why not use it for a short time if you’ve been paying into it your whole working life?

Is the amount he pays in child support still reflecting what the percentage is in Florida? If so, you guys need to go to court to get that changed. You guys should not be struggling this bad because she’s getting all of his money. That’s not right and I guarantee a judge would agree and change it. I wish I had advice on what to do with the girls. [cont]

It would be extremely difficult to revert their behavior when their mother has taught them that it is ok behave this way and talks badly about you in front of them. You are doing your best; I’m not sure I could do it. If you ever need to talk, you can call or text me anytime. I may not always have the best advice but you can at least vent.
