There is a reason that beauty companies make hair products for different races. And last evening I figured out why...

I am taking S to get her hair done today. Braiding lady said to run pink lotion through her hair and let it set. So, FSD, S and myself all did mini make overs last night while the boys went to see transformers. Hair, nails, face masks.

So as Ive said before Im raying to like my SD17 because DH is so good to my 2 BDs 12 n 6, he met my

Thank you for taking time to read my story. First of all, I never thought I would need to seek for help in step parenting my son (step-son) since dearly to my heart, he is my SON.

Help! I just love this website, I think I would have gone insane without reading the supportive posts from everyone.

My husband and I have been together for 4 years now. I has one SD (17) who is a nightmare of narcissism, greed, and awful behavior. I have 2 SS (15 and 13) who don't live with us, but are a dream to have around. They were raised properly, unlike my SD. My SD was abused by an awful woman, and has had a tough time since then. Unfortunately she is now turning into her mother, and my husband won't do anything about it.

Was new to this site in search of answers to dealing with adult step children. LOTS of great advise. Even as one recent post I read, how many suggest we RUN...run like the wind, there is still a part of us that wants it to work as we love the men.

Last night, SO and I were talking and he said in our conversation, that he needs someone to "push" him with helping to discipline his kid. He does understand that his kid does need it ... He has no discipline at SO's parents place (which is where he goes Thursday afternoons and Fridays (when SO works)), from what we can gather, he has no discipline when he's with BM/on BM's time.
He keeps saying he is greatful that I've helped him with a few things, namely, getting him to sleep in his own room (which is what WE got him to do when we first got together).

Sorry, it's been a while since I've posted, but things have been going pretty well since I've totally disengaged. This one has just thrown me for a loop...

I can see into the future! :jawdrop: SS1 arrested and on the 10pm news. BM new what he was doing and allowed him to use her house. He was the only one arrested???? WTF She should so have been parked in that back seat to. He is 3 weeks from 18th birthday and may be charged as adult. If that happens he is looking at 25 to life. When I first meet SS1 he wanted to go to harvard. I so just want to beat the holy SSSS out of BM for screwing up her kids so bad just to get back at BF. I do hope there is a VERY special place for her in hell.

SD15 can’t even pass an art class. She was taking six classes, failed five of them and only passed PE (amazing!)

It’s no wonder, since she absolutely refuses to do anything at school. She won’t do homework, doesn’t even both to do tests or quizzes or turn in assignments. I can’t believe how ridiculously easy it is to just scrape by these days in high school with binder checks and ability to retake tests and redo homework until its 100% correct. But no, SD doesn’t bother. School is beneath her.

Lets all dance!!

SS passed the peepee test and is officially sworn in!! I can go camping now!! We tried one time while SS lived with us and it did not turn out well at all. So we have just been waiting until he was safely in the military. Now is that day!!!!! I think I may leave early, grab the hubby and the RV and go play on a lake somewhere near by. (If we can find one with water!!)

Don’t have to worry about SS not coming home, don’t have to worry about him bringing a nasty ho in my house. Don’t have to worry about his little gangsta friends.
