Am new and this is my first time to use the site.

I stay with my inlaws and I want to move out. But the house thst I got am no sure I want to live there. SS thinks its okay but the house is just next to his parents and to make matters worse right next to his ex. I dont want to live there at all but i dont know how to tell him without hurting him. He is excited about it.

I got my point accrossed

I got up this afternoon (I work nights) and my dh told me he had put my breackfast in the toaster oven. I thanked him and whent about my morning routine meaning coffee and a ciggerette. After my second cup of coffee I when to go get my food. I looked in the toaster oven and could not belive what I saw I pulled the pan out and walked into the living room and showed it to my dh and said is this a joke. He looked confussed. He said I left you 5 pieces of bacon and two big spoonfuls of potatos. In the pan was 1 piece of bacon and a handful of potatos.

A few years ago both husband and Oldest SS took their stock air cleaners off their trucks. Husband kept his, SS threw his out since he "was never going to need it again". They put K & N filter systems on their trucks. Well SS took his K and N filter system off his truck when he traded it in on the mustang he bought. He put my husbands stock air system on his truck he traded in. Husband is having issues with his truck and went to put the stock air filter system back on, Guess What? It's missing because oldest SS stole it.

Ailenation on the down low?

So I'm new on this site but it might just be what i'm looking for seeing how I cant find a step parent support group where I live. Going in deep here so......there are times where the kid(9)and I have fun but there are more times of comments, comments that would only come from an adult, would come out of his mouth. There are noticable times when he's with the father that you can tell he's two different kids when he's there or here. My question is what or where do I look for to pick up on these types of things.

And it changes again...

Last night was the last ballgame of the season. Since school started in Septemeber, the skids have had practice three nights a week, and sometimes on weekends for 2-3 hours at a time. Then game season started and on the nights they didn't practice, they had games.

Now they'll be home more. Shit.

Wonder if we can afford for them to run track?

avoiding the sk's

I am here because at this point it is better to have my face stuck in the internet then engage in any family acttivity. Every time we do something as a family it allways turns into a fight and for some reason it allway ends up being my fault. I have an out of controle 14 yr old ss and a 13yr old sd who is so selfish about her daddy I can't stand it. Just hearing her voice grates on my every nerve. I hate being like that but this is why I am here not doing things with them. It is taring my husband ani appart.

Free ride is over.

November 2009 we added oldest SS to my cell phone plan so he could get an iphone. Deal was he paid $40 to us every month on or before the 15th. His bill actually costs us over $60 but we weren't going to split hairs. We wanted to help him get on his feet and get a phone. Every month he tries to dodge paying the bill yet he goes out drinking all the time and posts on FB, he buys himself expensive clothes and just bought himself a brand new Mustang.

One question that I have...why is my DH raising his kids to be so different than he?

Want to be a better SM's picture

My DH is one of the kindest and generous men that I know. He works hard and makes sacrifices for his family, like driving cars into the ground rather than buying a new one! He keeps a really clean and neat home. He has held jobs since high school.

When we dated, we talked about how we both put ourselves through college even though he did not really have to because his Father is a Physician and his parents had saved for his education. He went out and bought his own cars as a teenager and young adult, etc. When he proposed, he said that he thought we were really similar.
