In reality I'm noticed as a step mom but I shouldn't be a step mom and I will never ever act like a mom for my boyfriend's kid. He's a 12 year old boy but yet acts like a selfless teenager and sometimes acts like he's 5 years old. He doesn't know how to do anything like literally anything. He doesn't know how to hang up clothes, tie his shoes, take his own shower, change for himself, open a simple can of coke... You basically get the point. All he does know is to play Xbox all day, stay up all night, sleep all day, scream, complaim, and eat.
Two so far. A Vigilante and Big Driver. Both about abused women who go ape shit on their abusers. A Vigilante is particularly disturbing. It is about an abused woman who starts resolving issues for other abused women. I cheered her on but the circumstances of her situation and the women and kids she helps
What stands out are the similarities between the movies and so many SP marriages where repeat emotional, financial, residential, etc, etc, etc abuse happens and it is tolerated for far too long.
I am feeling pretty good right now.
Just changed the password to my netflix account. In checking the devices logged in, I noticed powersulk has been logging in every day, even after I had alerted her to me shaving down to only 2 devices and can she please log out. I have not mentioned this to her, or husband. Shes with Toxic Troll this week. If she mentions it, while with us, Ill just let her know its ONLY 2 devices and those 2 are our TVs which she is welcome to use.
We had Spring Break with SD and let her bring a friend this year.
We went all out and overall I think it went well. (They were living their best lives).
DH and I kinda were just supervisory and 3rd and 4th wheels but we made the best of it, although he got very little one on one time but her age this was the best case scenario we thought letting her bring the friend.
So I've about had it with DH. Seriously.
OK, this is an update after my blog from yesterday. Every day is a new fresh hell.
So, my husband and I had a little debate the other day about grandparents and what their role should be with their grandkids.
At one end of the "what is normal spectrum" is my husband's opinion that the more normal situation involves very involved grandparents spending a lot of time with grandkids.. babysitting etc...
I posted a new blog after I posted this one. Any advice is welcome because we are at a loss....
Just when you think this could not be more of a disaster....
I don't like my stepson as a person. We have our conflicts, but I feel it's much more than just a parent/child power struggle. He instigates arguments, is disrespectful, and acts like the victim in EVERY situation. He talks back to me, talks over me and even argues with his dad. He's 11. This past semester w/ school, he lied contstantly about getting his assignments done and ended up w/ F's in almost all of his classes by progress reports. He always has an excuse for everything. My husband doesn't really come down on him about the lying. I feel that we should be much harseher about it.
Decided to return to co-dependent employer headquarters .... thank heavens it was just part of the day not the whole day.
It was mostly cool good thing a new manager so somewhat fresh re-start, but the ALWAYS busy - for the type of pay, rigid schedule, their stinginess with pto has reminded me to always be looking for next opportunity. My goal = major steps towards promotion/salary increase in T minus 30 days or less.
Glad I didn't have to see the co-workers face2face. I didn't interact with them much (mainly to save time) although I wanted to.
