Step Talk Dictionary

I came up with a few phases=definitions that may help some new Stalkers. Please feel free to add to the list folks. :)

From SO

“I want you to co-parent with me” = “I want you to agree with every parenting decision I make and keep your mouth shut on the ones you don’t. And it would be great if you could be the heavy so I look like a hero.”

“Why do you have a problem with Skid(s)?” = “I know exactly why you have a problem with Skid(s) but by admitting it, it would prove I haven’t been much of a parent.

“It’s BM’s fault he/she is like this sometimes.” = “I can’t possibly admit that any of my offspring may have inherited some negative traits from me or that they make bonehead choices for themselves so I will blame the ex and only take credit for the rare good stuff.”

“I wish we had more time with Skid(s).” = “I say this to make me sound like a good parent but if we actually got more time with Skid(s), I would still busy myself so I don’t really spend any quality time with them. And when I do, they get to run the show so I don’t feel guilty about not knowing how to relate to them.”

“You should try more with Skid(s). You’re the adult.”= “I will not acknowledge that you have already bent over backwards for my ungrateful spawn, but you should continue to give and give and never complain about it.”

“They’re MY kids!” (Usually said out of anger when you have to audacity to questions DW/DW) =” I have the final word. (Until I don’t know what to do then I will ask you for help and not take it)”

From Skid

“You’re not my mom/dad!” = “You aren’t as easily fooled by my bullshit as my bios!”

“I know you hate me.” = “I know you are smart enough to see through my lies and manipulations and because of you my bios are forced to see me for who I really am.”

“SSSSSMMMMMM!!!!” (Usually all sing-songy and sickly sweet) = “I need/want something from you and/or need you to talk to my bio about something.”

“Why don’t you believe me???” (Usually said with tears and giant dramatic sighs) = “I know that everything that comes out of my mouth is a lie, and this is too, but I need something from you and then I'll get back to disrespecting you.”

“BD! I’m bored!” = “BD! I need to be entertained 24/7 and have you buy me things or I will tell my mom that I don’t want to come here anymore.”

“I’m trying my best!” = “I know I screwed up, blamed everyone but myself and haven’t learned a damn thing from it. But in the last few minutes I put a tiny bit of effort forward and now expect to be rewarded for it.”

A few days ago I was treated to this lovely belligerent and nasty demand from SD14:

"Why did you marry her!!!!!!?????" = "This woman won't let me dominate her and insult her the way I do everyone else and she won't let me beat up my little brother like everyone else lets me and now my Dad is even catching on and sticking up for himself -- IT'S THE END OF THE WORRRLLLLD!!!!!"
