So was with the whole family running errands yesterday. Decided we wanted PaPa Murphy's Take and Bake Pizza for dinner. (If you've never tried it, your crazy and you must!!) I wanted to run in, order and come back out no questions or can we's or I wants so I tried to jump outta the car and leap inside. My SS 13 jumped out right behind me and followed me in; SD was playing a game on FDHs new phone so thankfully she didnt come in.
I have been with a man for 7 years who is very good to me. We have a great time together. I stay and spend a great deal of time with them, but I do not want to move in full time with them. I have raised my children, and do not want to raise his 10 year old daughter. I am respectful of her, I do things with her like baking & shopping, we all go fishing & camping. But I feel no bond to her. I'm not very lovey to her. And would really rather not have her around. She just wears on my nerves. And I know the teen years will be hell. We have her during the school year.
Why am I freaking out? Skids come every other weekend, but for some reason I am very anxious this time. I guess its because they are getting older and are more defiant these days. I feel lost and alone and not able to deal with them. I feel like the kid most of the time and that they are the ones with the power. I feel like running away but I know I cant. What the hell should I do??? Please help....
No whirring, dinging, clicking of video games... No Avatar... No Dragon Ball Z whatever... No sponges wearing any clothing, pants or otherwise. No, "Hey, First Name, did you know...?" No slurping, spilling, complaining during dinner.
Plus DH is traveling for work. It's about to be me, some bad Chinese, worse TV and a bottle of wine...
Le purr... 
I am a single woman who has never been married. I was in a very long and serious relationship before this one, I ended it for various reasons but none of them were hateful. My whole life I have dreamed of marrying and having lots of children and ideally i never dreamed of having the baggage that I do in my current relationship. While I am by no means looking for a fairytale wedding, I do care about making things as traditional as possible when I do marry. My current boyfriend and I have been together for 3+ years, he's divorced and we live together.
DH got a letter from the school that they wanted a meeting to discuss SS7 starting speech therapy. They sent it home on a day SS went to BM's so she saw it and called DH about it and said she wasn't sure if she could make it.
In my first attempt to write any type of blog, I will begin this one with the particularly daunting task of summarizing the last 10 years of my life. Easy enough, right? Let's give it a try...
This weekend we had the kids. Friday night was good and Saturday morning was decent (we had to take FSS to t-ball practice--oh yea, BM conveniently forgot to mention that the coach would be asking everyone to pay for uniforms that practice). Then:
This site is for people to come and vent. I understand that people look for advice or for people who share similar stories but they aren't looking for judgement. I mean seriously. Nobody has any idea what anybody else goes through on a regular basis. Just because something works in your home or because you don't AGREE with it doesn't make you right. Everyones situation is different and people do what works best in THEIR home. I do things that i am sure people would cringe at but who the hell cares. Do you live in my house?? Do you deal with the ignorant vendictive Skids that I do? No!!
Needing pearls of wisdom and/or shared experiences!
My SD27 is getting married in May. At first she told my husband that I could come as long as I didn't create any problems (yeah - I know - I am 56 year old trouble maker).
After many couple therapy sessions I recently shared that that I realized I said I wouldn't go because I was trying to protect my husband's feelings. Our therapist responded, "I am not normally this assertive but I am compelled to be right now - your wife needs to go - she belongs by your side".
