DH is dancing all over my nerves right now. SD20 was a PITA as a child, still is as an adult. Oppositional, defiant, moody, you name it. More than average, believe me.

So now that Dh and I have two kids together, I feel DH tries to make them "look" worse so he can feel better about how SD acted.

Before anybody gets upset, I don't mean he stops seeing or speaking to her or supporting her (nonmonetarily). Dh is court ordered to pay one third of SD's college costs until she turns 21. She turns 21 in three months. She has made NO effort to show DH she is serious about college and in my opinion has definitely NOT earned the right to continue to be supported.

My cousin is getting married, myself and my two bios are in the wedding. My parents and my kids and I were going to share one room so my mom booked a suite, it's a little nicer and pricier but when you split it between the two of us it's not bad. For some reason she also booked a room for my brother and his family. But he now can't go because of work.

Slightly OT, but DH has not cooked dinner for the family for MONTHS. I bet I can count on one hand how many times he has cooked in the past year. I work full time. I am responsible for all child care Saturday through Tuesday, he is off and only sees them Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evening. So I come home last night and ask DH to make dinner and he tells me no. Iam on the phone with my cousin and she explains how when her brothers lived with her (all adults) they had a schedule of who would cook what night.
