Don’t you hate it when you get home and the skid is there when they were not supposed to be there? ARRRGGG. I look forward to non kid/skid evenings. DH and I have a few drinks, sit outside, talk and relax.
I always know what my kids are doing and when. They know when they have to work and go to school. SS NEVER knows! And if you ask him and he says he knows, then there is only a 50/50 chance of that being true.
BM is my main gripe. I don't really have any problems with SS3 at this point (don't know how long it'll last though with a nut for a mother). We were hoping that since she had a boyfriend that she would quiet down for awhile. Well I don't know if that relationship is already kaput or what, but she has been going at it again with the incessant texting and the up and down mood swings.
Okay, well I am new to this but I need to get it out even if it doesn't get read by anybody. I might have to make this a multi series blog as there are alot of things on my mind and I have a 16 month old daughter. So I am married to a man who has 2 children (17 & 19). We have been together for 2 1/2 years and have a wonderful little girl who is 16 months. My hubby had a very bad divorce (got and still does get almost everything taken away, including the children.
Thank you for our country. Your service has made the USA a proud and respectful country for more than two centuries.
I'm sure I know what some of you are going to say and that's fine but like everyone here I just need to get this off my chest and I don't want my husband to have to hear it. So BM is in Vegas she posted on a friends facebook page can't wait to get on the plane and be out of this town for 3 days and forget about everything there. The way I see it your kids are there so that's kinda sad. Then on her friends husbands page she put ill rub your head for luck while in LAS Vegas!
I feel like 2 different persons reacting to my DH's request tonight.
DH told me tonight that BM does not come around as much (we have not seen her for 3 weeks) because she cannot go to the one daugher's room (mind you there are 3 kids) and spend 1 on 1 time with her, so she winds up driving around for a few hours just to spend time with her kids, well 1 kid, the other 2 disappear when she comes around or she neglects to tell them.
DH asked if it would be okay that BM is able to go into the one SD's room when she comes in our tiny house.
I have been doing this step parenting thing for almost 16 years....yes you have read that number right. I am soooooooooo DONE!! I have 6 months left before my last step child graduates from high school. If she makes it past her 18th birthday which is in March. I think she will move out just like her older brother did. Then not graduate, also just like her older brother.
So, i'm currently going through a rough time and I just had an emotional, upsetting conversations with DH and I feel super depressed and upset. 
So since SS22 decided he wants to have a bank account opened to SAVE his money (which he hasn't done on his own) DH says "whatever, you have no insurance as of the sixteenth of this month."
I can't wait to see if he follows through! SS and DH argued about this issue. We are trying to set this young man up for success when he graduates. I am praying he'll quickly move out after college.
Everyone who knows a 22 year old man lives here thinks it's weird == except DH!!!
I was out dodging bullets in the military when i was 22 === no where near my home!!!
My rules of engagement
#1. Maintain a level of detachment. I love them but they are not MY children. I have four of my own to be concerned with. The more I try to pretend they are mine the more I frustrate myself because they will never be mine no matter how much I love them.
#2. Absolutely NO conflict between DH and I concerning Schildren or BM (or any of my Xs, for that matter). I refuse to argue a point I cannot win. This is what the BM wants and I will NOT give her what she wants.
