Im proud of myself!

Well today I got up because I had to work I went and woke up my son and told him to get dressed so that he can go with me. BF noticed that my son was getting dressed and asked me why. i told him hes going to work with me it will be easier for you just with your daughter. His response was you gotta be fucking kidding me. So i continued to get dressed and when i was ready to go i asked him if he was gonna take me to work and he said no take the car... So i asked him what are you going to eat here all day(we havent went food shopping)he says dont worry about it go to work. So now he is home with darling SD and doesnt have to worry about my son. And i know hes going to take a nice little walk with SD to mcdonalds like we got money to spend.... Did I do the right thing?

Given the situation, you did the only thing you could do

"To Thine Own Self Be True" William Shakesphere

Since BF made it clear to you that your son is such a burden if he watches him, what else could you do? Let 'em have his time off w/his D-just make sure it works the other way, too. What's good for the goose is also good for the gander!

There ya go. The reason I did not remarry until my

"To Thine Own Self Be True" William Shakesphere

The very reason I did not remarry until my son was grown. I was damned if he was going to be treated as substandard by any man.

Just be grateful you've had the foresite not go marry your BF. Gives you an opportunity to see if he's willing to change, witness the changed behaviour, before you marry the man. If he cannot put your son on equal footing with his D, leave 'im. Much easier to do if you're not married.

Substandard

The very reason I did not remarry until my son was grown. I was damned if he was going to be treated as substandard by any man.

Amen sister! I never dated while my kids were still young. I met BF when my youngest was 17 and ready to leave the nest as well.

YOu did the right thing by disengaging! Good to turn off the switch on the fantasy "we're all just one big happy family and the skids love you" YEAH RIGHT!! If it's any consolation, my BF is out buying Junior SS stb6 a blockbuster game as a "reward" for a "surprise visit" aka coming over to crayon's house. It better be rated for 3 yr olds b/c Junior has the mental capacity of your average 2 year old even though he is the size of your average 9 yr old!!! Frankly at this point, i'd bribe the kid to STAY AWAY!! Crayon to Junior: "Junior, I'll BUY you some ps/2 games to stay at mommy's house" HA HA, oh the fantasies!! The girhippo gets CS at the full custodial rate as though no visitation takes place.

I am warming up my disengaging mantra "not my kid, not my problem" I'm sure Junior will turn up his nose at the T day leftovers that I will prepare! Oh joy!

cut and run. Don't put your child thru this. Take care of yourself and your son.

Married the man and now I feel guilty for my son's sake

I noticed you say boyfriend - my H treats my son fine but SD is a nightmare to my son - she is 13 and my son is 12. Now I have to live with this horrible guilt that I brought this evil SD into my son's life - my son doesn't even want to come home with me because of SD - thank god we only have her EOW but my son and her go to school together. If he is not treating your child righ get the he!! away from him now

I wouldn't move in with my

I wouldn't move in with my bf because I knew the rules:

Rule #1: His "princess" daughter ruled the roost.

Rule #2: His other three kids, boys, did no wrong.

Rule #3: Me and my son would always be second class citizens.

Rule #4: His kids would always come first.

Adding to mustang1's rules...

Too add to Mustang1's rules

Rule #5...I am expected to perform all the parental responsibilities but have no parental authority over his little "princess"

In a perfect world their would be retroactive abortion capabilities. ~ disgusted

Yes, that too. My bf flat

Yes, that too. My bf flat out told me that no one except the parent should be allowed to discipline his children. This is because their stepfather actually tries to make them act 1/2 way decent and have rules and of course, that doesn't go over too good. I would have to cook for and pick up after his precious children, give them rides to places, and in return they could treat me like shit and I wouldn't be allowed to say anything to them about it. I would have to defer to HIM, and he would tell me that I had to deal with it because I was an adult, and they were just children and couldn't help how they act. THATS when I decided I wasn't moving in with him.
