So over this stupid kid!!

roseslady2's picture

Lately, I just can't stand SS10. He's so weird!! Blum 3 And he has the strangest humor. He acts like he's so starved for attention, but he's not! I give him way more attention than I ever got. His mom gives him even more than I do. It's not like these boys are without parents at any time. I can't understand it. I relate much more to SS15. He's independent and loves to get attention, but doesn't go searching for it. That's how I was. I never based who I was on other people.

Summer visit....*sigh*

Well, it took longer than I originally anticipated but SD8 is already officially on my nerves. BD5 had her little "graduation ceremony" at her school today and since SD8 started her visit yesterday (joy), she tagged along this morning to the ceremony. Naturally, the first "ugh" moment came when getting her dressed and sorting through the tacky, tasteless wardrobe that BM packed her. We selected her "nicest" outfit (that I'd probably consider sleeping clothes for my BDs) and put her in that.

10 days until our trip & now BM wants to talk to the SKids

I'm very excited about our FL vacation. The thought of having a few Skid free days brings a smile to my face, even if it's been brought down to 4.5 days due to BM's issue of not liking to get up early on Monday (HUH???!!??)

After well over a month of not speaking to her children, BM brazenly texts SO this morning asking if the Skids remember that they are going to see her in less than 2 weeks...of course, SO responds ever so sweetly to this BM and answers all of her questions very nicely...

Until the 20th!?!?!?!!?

So, I've been bit(hing a bit lately about my mother's impending visit, the ticket debaucle, and our totally crap finances. What I have not said is that FDH, during this whole ordeal, has been completely pi$$y about the whole thing. His main issue being the expected length of her stay vs. our finances, which is totally understandable, and we're both a lot more comfortable with the current 15 day stay she's planning.

VENT - I'm sick of being DH's whipping post!

DH f**king got pissed at Uberskank and his little princess last night. Guess who he f**king picked a fight with? Guess who got blamed for the fight??

I did NOT sign up for this bulls**t! We have talked about his habit of picking fights with me because he won't confront his ex-slut or his kid.

Then the a**hole has the nerve to act pissy towards ME this morning as well. He picked the fight and I'm the one to blame. F**K HIM!

Our lease is up in October. It's time to save for my own place. I have had it being the scapegoat and whipping post.

What works with skid/step relationship: advice from daughter

As some of you know I am truly at my wit's end with my SD15. Having exhausted every known (and possible) option, yesterday I had a chance to chat with my DD17, who's had a step mom for over 10 years now. It's been a non-issue since the beginning so I asked her how it was for her - what made it so easygoing. SM is a decent person and now has two babies of her own. She's not treated my kids like they were hers, but like they are respected visitors. My kids have always been respectful of her too though, and decent kids.

A good step-parent vs. a bad step-parent.

I'm not a stepmother, but my husband is my children's stepfather.

Someone asked me what I considered to be a good stepparent vs. a bad one.

A good stepparent genuinely loves his or her stepkids. Does she feel bad sometimes that she isn't the first to have had a child with her partner? Absolutely - that's normal. Resenting the stepkids for that: not normal. Resenting a birth parent due to their behavior? Again, absolutely normal! Making the children aware of your feelings of said birth parent: not normal.
