Intro

[gummybear12]

I've been on the BF board for almost 4 years. Daily lurker, casual poster. But I hope more people come over to this board. I hope to post more, this site seems to be more phone friendly so I think I will!

I dated and was engaged to K for three years. He has two boys that I considered my SS's. We planned a future and life together. I broke off the engagement and started seeing L, he also had a son(had 100% custody) so I still felt like I was in a BF situation. We got pregnant by being stupid, were not at a place to even be thinking about that kind of commitment and I still had some feeling for K to complicate matters. I left L about a month after finding out we were pregnant. Was just an emotional mess. K came back into my life as a friend and we both wanted more, but things are just so messy right now and are going slow. My emotions are all over the place. I swear my life seems so dramatic and a soap opera, but I really am normal!

I still feel like I belong on BF(I have gained so much knowledge on here from other posters over the years!), whether that's as a single mom whos child has an older half sibling and dealing with a BF only or also adding on dating K again and being a BM and SM in the future.

Well there my intro! Hope more of the regulars and lurkers come over from TB!

I have been a longtime lurker on TB (posted every so often under a different user name). I have been in a long time relationship with a man with 5yr old girl. She is spoiled rotten by everyone in the family and it drives me bat st!t crazy. I have more complaints than compliments, but we are a happy little family all in all

[StormyDixon]

I am an old knottie who was forced to the nest, I guess since about 2000. I have 2 children, 4 full time step children and 1 grandchild. My husband is a great guy.

[Deleted]

I used to be a BF regular but it's been a while, a long while since I was an active poster.

I have three kids, 10, 8, and 3 months and have been married to mr man for 5 years. I also have an ex-husband, affectionately known as Doucheface or DF for short. He has been married for two years or something like that and has a one month old or so with an unfortunate name, or rather an unfortunate pronunciation. I often refer to his wife as EQB, aka Everquest Bride.

Since the boards are new and it's our chance to start anew, I thought I'd involve myself wherever fitting and see how it works out. So hello, my name is Inigo Montoya . . . I mean Hindsight/Hind/HS/HAB etc.

[friskypanda]

Douche has a baby!? That's...sad, disturbing...I don't know, pick the negative adjective of your choice

[Deleted]

Oh yeah and get this, they called the day the kid was born then about twice after, mebbe. Since, she's gotten two calls from them.

Ugh!

[ellipses84]

I was posting on BF a lot last year, but have been only lurking from my phone for the past few months due to being busy with life and privacy concerns. TB wouldn't let me remove my city from my profile and I kept meaning to create a new username. Finally got around to it!

I have a 1 year old DS and a 12 year old SS. We went through a unique and long custody battle with SS but things have been somewhat drama free lately. I look forward to giving and getting advice on BF issues.

[Beeps (WOT?*)]

I've been on the Knot, Nest, Bump whatever forever and a day. On the blended family front, I was divorced before some of you were born (not really, but late '90s) and remarried. DH doesn't have kids but he's helped raise mine for the past 18 years. Ex (also known as PH for practice husband as "more nice than turnip or toad" has been with his wife and married for almost as long. We have four kids together and she has four with her two ex-husbands and then one with her now-H/my ex. So basically their family portrait looks like a class photo. His wife hates the ground I slither on.

On the more current BF front, I had custody of my older granddaughter for five years (from .5 to 5.5 years old) and then she and her sister were placed with me and DH from Labor Day to winter break at school; they moved back in with their mom (my daughter) but still in the custody of CPS. As much as I love my daughter, I do tend to check in with CPS and her caseworker and I e-mail and do lunch. I'm a bad mommy but apparently a great grandma since I spoil the grands. My daughter is actually jealous of how much I provide for her kids and badmouths me regularly because of it. It's ridiculous.

Hello, world. Meet my dysfunctional family. =)

I have to go tuck the grandboy in. He and GD1 (the one who lived with me) are staying the weekend.

[zimagirll]

Hello. I was mostly a lurker on the nest but want to be more involved on these new boards.
DH & I have been married almost 4 years. We have 5 kids between the two of us. I have 3 with ex husband. He has 2 with his exes. There is always some drama going on in our little world....

Whats the baby´s name?

[stephbfan]

Im Tifanico but just changed my SN over here.

For everyone.
I have been on the BF board for several years already. I go back and forth between just lurking and actively posting.

Im a single mom of a 3yo girl. I live in Colombia (notice that I spelled it with two Os). BF and I have a great relationship but it was something that didnt come as easy. I have primary custody and BF has visitation.
I really try my best to not be one of the BMs people talk on the board. I like to stick around BF because I get both sides of the situation even though I "belong" more to the single parents board.

It's pronounced Ice a dor a instead of Isadora.

[CurlyQ284]

I have the same SN on the Bump board. DH and I met around Christmas 2003. I dont know if I ever said how we met on the old board, I was kind of shy in the beginning over there and its side eye worthy. I was 19 in sophomore year of college, he was 25 divorced, in the military with a 1 and 2 year old. We started living together after graduation in 2006 and got married in 2009. The girls are now 9 and 10, smart, lovely, and really great kids. I am 12 weeks pregnant with my first. We get along fine with BM, she and the kids live in Michigan and we live outside DC so we have a long distance type visitation schedule.

[CurlyQ284]

PS. Glad youre back HAB!

[PhantomIRL]

Hi ladies,

I'm your token European friend lol

I'm sure the name gives it away. I've been on BF FOREVER, well 5 years to be exact.

Know my DH since we were kiddies, dated as teens, got back together in our twenties and married when I turned 30. He has a now 10 years old son.

We are pretty coool with BM at present and things run smoothly enough.

I'm not sure I like this board / format. Meh I'm prob just resisting change.

Good to 'see' you all.

[wendilea]

Eh, you all know who I am.

I've been married since 11/2008 to a man with more baggage than a Samsonite store. 3 skids, 3 bkids, 2 BMs, and a Dink.

[fluff]

Hi everyone. I've posted here and there on TB. DH and I have been married since 09 and together we have two children: an 8 year old son and a 17 month old daughter. I have a 12 year old daughter from a previous relationship and often feel like the referee between her and DH.

Ex is married to a wonderful woman and I have no issues with her. I strongly dislike ex, though.

[sigir]

Hello I have the same screen name between the two boards. I try to minimize the amount of identifying characteristics that I share on the bump bc I am very paranoid about exh discovering my screen name and stalking me. I hope that I might be able to be more specific on this board since it is not as public.

Anyway I have an exh who tries to make my life as miserable as possible through constant angry emails, and tries to get out of child support as often as possible. I have a dd 7 (I usually refer to her as 'dc' on the bump to obscure her gender because of my paranoia), and have been remarried to a great understanding and supportive dh for about a year. I have two court dates regarding support coming up in the next couple of weeks... and am also expecting another dd on June 12! So between all this I am very Tired right now.

I have heard that they are not changing over to the new format on the bump for quite a while, because of the outcry and exodus on the nest, so we may not have much traffic over here for a while, but at least we are established if we need to be!

Anyway good to see everyone!

[gin9874]

I have the same screen name over on TB. We have 5 kiddos: DD (12), SD (11), SS(9), SS(7) and DS (2). We get along with the EX's for the most part. But they irritate me sometimes

[socloudy99]

I'm coming over too! Same name as before (which I changed about a year ago).
I have 4 SKs (16, 13, 12, 11) between two BMs. Things are a lot calmer now but the teens stuff can get difficult.

[datsyuksmommy]

Hello! I lurk often and post rarely on TB, but I will post here more. BM broke up with DH when she was 2 months pg, and he and I began dating shortly after. We all worked in the same place and all knew each other before anyone dated anyone else. DH and I have been married a little over a year and a half, SD will be 3 this weekend, and I'm dealing with IF. We see SD EOW, 1 midweek overnight, and alternating holidays. This year we have Memorial Day, so we will have her bday party during the long weekend.

[FlipFlops]

I lurked a lot more then I posted on TB but I've been around for 5ish years. DH & BM had SS12 their senior year in HS. The dated on & off for 6 years after to try to make things work for SS. DH actually raised SS's little sister for a couple of years (not his child) when they were on. Things just didn't work.

I met and started dating DH when SS was 7 and we started living together very early on in the relationship (if I had been around here at that time I probably would have waited longer to move in together) but things worked out well. We have been married for over 2 years now and have a DS 18months together. We have SS full time and he goes to BMs EOW (when she has a place to live.)

[formerlyak]

I married my now ex in 2001 and we divorced in 2009. We have a ds who is almost 6. I have primary custody and he has Wednesdays and every other weekend. We are both now living with new significant others, and boyfriend and I plan on getting married next summer. So pretty much like a blended family without the marriage certificate (yet).
