Hi everyone!

I've noticed that this board has picked up a bit lately.  If you are reading this, why not post a quick introduction and we can get to know each other a bit!

I'll start.

I'm a SM to my husband's 2 boys, ages 11 and 7.  DH and I have an almost 1 year old son together.  We have the SKids everyother weekend and 4 weeks in the summer.  We live in Montgomery county, but our CO is through Greene county (Dayton area).  SKids live about an hour and a half away and DH and his ex meet at a halfway point for exchange.  We have problems galore with BM, but no time right now to post about them all!

Hi Ohio'ins

I am the dad of a Wonderful - Magnificent - Brilliant - Fantastic 6 year old boy.

I live in the Bolivar area which is off RT. 77 between Canton and New Philadelphia.

That's Right!!!!..... Tuscarawas County.  We still hold the record for being the County with the most obese people in OHIO.  Along with that recognition we annually have the record Deer Kill.

Ok,,, on with the high lights.  The reining imperialists who administer the Government Regulation on the Family here:

Hello!

I am the proud mother of 3 wonderful children and step mother to my husband's equally wonderful son.  Their ages are 10, 8, 6, and 4.  We live in Perry Co.  and I am the sole custodial parent of my children and my husband and his ex share custody of their son.  We have him 90% of the time though while she still collects all of the $$$$ she can from my husband.  Like all of you I'm sure, we have too numerous problems with BM.... Luckily, my ex, my husband and I get along great!!  

Nice to meet you all!:+

Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm 30.  I'm married to Derek who is 25 (yep, I'm a cradle robber).  I have a wonderful SD Morgan that just turned 6.  We went through hell for the first 3 years of her life just to get standard visitation.  BM and Derek were never married, never even boyfriend and girlfriend actually, and she just wanted him to go away so her new man could be the daddy.  Finally the judge ordered a psych eval of me, Derek, BM, BM's husband, and Morgan.  After that the judge told BM that Morgan was lucky to have Derek and me in her life and if she sees us in court again she will give Derek full custody and the only reason she's not doing it now is because of how young she is.  After that BM has straightened up and flown right for the most part.  We still have issues but nothing you'd end up back in court for.  Derek and BM are learning to work things out on their own (usually with lucky me as the mediator).  Anywhoo, in April of 2004 we added our darling son Elijah to our family.  He is a constant joy, I just feel sad that we can't provide for him the manner we'd like to because CS and lawyer fees have/are draining us financially.  Nice to meet you!

Best Wishes,
