Fair?

There is a lot of history but this the most recent incident that led to a fight between SO & I. In our house, all kids do their own laundry, deal with their own rooms & when school is out have everyday chores. No extra chores when school is in session.

Thinking it's time to move on

I haven't posted in a while, but I am on the verge of losing it. I don't know if there is any point in staying anymore. I have been with my fiance for a little over 6 years. I have 2 kids (DdSTB11 & Ds8)& he has 2 kids (SdSTB13 & Ss8). We have had a rocky relationship (i have moved out a couple of times) to say the least. The BM & skids have put me & my children thru hell for years all while my fiance just sat back & did nothing about it.

Is this rude?

Or am I being overly sensitive. This is only my 4th post, but basically, my SO & I have been together for 6 years now. I have referred to his family as "the mafia" b/c they always exclude me & my bios (not coming to my bios birthdays, ignoring us at holidays, etc). I'm not sure why I'm even posting this as I should be used to it by now but it still pisses me off every time. In the beginning of the relationship, my mom would sometimes keep my bios on my ex's weekend.

How does this work?

Ok, so this is only my 3rd post but I'm hoping someone here will have some info or experience with this situation. My SO & I have been together for 5 1/2 years now. He has full custody of his 2 kids the whole time b/c BM was addicted to prescription meds & has been in & out of rehab all these years. She used to get them EOWE but hasn't seen or spoken to them since Christmas Eve. There were a few more of these instances where she went months without seeing them or speaking to them. She has never paid a dime of child support for them or paid for anything for them in general.

Not sure what to do

I have posted on here before about my SO's family being like the "mafia" b/c of the way they treat me & my kids. My SO & I have had many fights over this & I have told him how I feel about his family. My SO's 18yo niece is having a birthday dinner tonight. Everyone was invited including me & my kids. My kids were supposed to be with my ex tonight but his SO's kids have the flu so I am keeping my kids. I was not going to go since I didn't have my kids anyway & my SO seemed a little mad about it but he knows how I feel so didn't say anything.

How to disengage.....

I'm new here but have been reading for a while. I have been with my SO for 5 years now. He has 2 kids, sd12 & ss7 that he has primary custody of. They used to go to BM's eowe but haven't been since Christmas b/c she is doing meth. I also have 2 kids, dd10 & ds7 that I have 50/50 with my ex. It usually ends up being more like 80/20 b/c he would rather sleep than see his kids but whatever.
