My husband has 4 children from a previous marriage. They are l still very young ages 4-7. Today technically is their first day of school Their mother makes things very hard on us. I have tried and tried to be a good coparent and help her when me and my husband can. She never has helped us the way we help her and she is often ungrateful and nasty to me and my husband. She asks us to take kids early we usually do. We ask she takes them on her time as she should and she won’t and is often late or will just ask us to keep them. Her fiancé yells at the children and his horrible to them. He tried to leave them home alone once but that’s another story. Anyways their mom refuses to get them on her time tomorrow and expects someone to pick them up from school. I’m extremely sick I’m up at almost 3am. My husband works 2-10pm. The 4 year old doesn’t have school and by FOC rules the kids are in her care by 9Am Wednesday mornings I just don’t want to deal with it today, the rude nasty attitude towards me. I have ALOT of anxiety and it makes me nervous. and she has been attacking my character and done nothing but threaten me lately. just because she no longer likes me probably a lot to do with the kids making a fuss about wanting to be with me and their father(they have been doing that a lot lately). We are strict about the kids behaving for their mother but she doesn’t treat them the best and her man has told everyone including the children he doesn’t want them there(Also why she gives them to us more than she is suppose to). I love my step children like they are my own I have spent thousands of dollars making sure they never go without and have all the things they need. I sweat my ass off playing with them and making them meals, giving them baths, putting them to bed. I am constantly putting them above everything in my whole life. I’m just so upset and drained and I wish that she would coparent better. It’s getting to a point the children have been around registered sex offenders and she is ok with that 😓. The children keep getting hurt and ending up in the hospital for some “accident” it’s so fishy. Ig this is just a vent... I’m so drained I just want to cry. I want things to be better so they are good for the kids... idk what to do anymore... I have tried the coparent rout and it’s hurt my whole family. I’m so scared every-time the children are gone honestly.

This lady has false rape claims( she cheated on my husband when they were married and had A 3 sum with her friend and through them under the bus so she wouldn’t get caught and ig she just wanted the attention she later admitted to the police she had lied and told everyone the truth after her story not lining up.

She had a DUI without a license only had to pay fines and do AA classes.

She dated a sex offender who just got out of prison for raping his daughter and let him around hers. (That relationship didn’t last)

She put her daughter on anxiety meds because her daughter didn’t feel safe and had anxiety attacks constantly.

I’m just nervous of what she is capable of at this point.
