The fun of not having a CO

Lady.Tremaine's picture

Oh bother

So today before DH picks up the kids I reminded him to please bring up the holiday schedule for this year.

Normally I wouldn't but SD6 keeps saying she's spending them with BMs family. In South Carolina. 9 hours away. 

So he does and yes according to BM that's the game plan. DHs family just moved locally to be with the kids on holidays . Yay. Normally we split Christmas so Eve one place day the other

So DH and her are in agreement of ok well we will trade every year on and off. Fine . Whatever

Just a rant. Hugs needed advice heeded.

It's been about 1.5 years since I moved so DH could be by his kids. BM moved outta nowhere. There's no CO please don't ask about one because trust me I have and it's been nothing but hurt.

I'm beginning to go nuts. I've been getting there because of the distance to family and friends but the nail in the coffin was this weekend. 

So SD6 normally overnights til Sunday morning EOW . For some random reason. After we had our usual light hearted chats and DH tells her it's bed time she pulls SD3s I miss my mom card.

Mermaids aren't real and ST fun

I haven't posted in a bit. I think to myself I'm one of the lucky ones . I see posts all day of :

Stepkid steals

Stepkid lies

BM is a nut

BH is a nut

Etc etc 

I'm lucky right now. But right now the issue is in my mind

I wish this wasn't taking up mind space but today I had a few chats with SD6

My mother ( who has never met the girls ) sent a bunch of these cute wood art projects . A few are mermaid wood cut outs 

SD6: my mom saw a mermaid once !! Mermaids are real

Stepkids at family weddings

We have SD6 this weekend. SD4 is MIA which at this point I think my husband is actually not just allowing but encouraging

I think because it's been a year of trial and a loooot of error he just doesn't want to deal with it unless it's a short visit

Welp in May my sister let me know both girls are invited to her Halloween wedding 2020. Extremely lavish - they already married court house wise but my mother is a weirdo and wanted to have a big hurrah. 

DH Family came over for the first time

Follow up from the last blog: me and DH had a talk about tone and it went well. He agreed to try better and at least he's pointing out the issue vs ignoring it

Well DHs family came over. His dad, sister , and bil

It went really really well.it was nice to sort of vent the issues with DH, BM , and the skids when DH was out for a bit.

They like me a lot. Father was a heavy heavy Russian accent so I had to ask for a redo sometimes when he spoke but we got along well

When the cup is getting empty

Or the tank or whatever you folks call your reserve that keeps you sane

I work from home but I work a customer facing job meaning I need to be at my computer as much as possible. I work the same amount of hours as DH

I did a small experiment to see if he'd start doing household work if I wasn't. Now he'll nag me up and down if I forget to make the bed but this man rarely takes out Trash, cleans up, dishes, has got the mail TWICE ( mailbox is a lockbox down the street) since last year

Cosleeping and PAS

So the girls were over tonight. We all went grocery shopping. They ate their favorite foods. We got them fruit and ice cream which they ate happily.

Went on a walk to look for frogs. Found a few. Everything downstairs is set for them. Child Catcher texts if she can say goodnight

This is always a loaded question for us. The youngest has crazy PAS at this point . But at the same time we thought it was fair.

Well youngest of course wants to go home. Fine. We are honestly so used to it. 

The bad The good and the Jesus why

The bad :

Welp BM showed DH SD6s report card. She is behind in math, reading , and vocabulary/ comp.

She also missed OVER 30 days of school this year. Good job BM. 

The good:

Since that happened I put my early childhood classes from high school to work. DH is a little strict so making her some MS word worksheets featuring characters she likes seemed like something to do in my down time.

Our's Baby?

Hello y'all. Step hell has been ..less hellish ? I stopped getting into the politics and just enjoy the time we have with the kids

This weekend was our weekend with the eldest ( youngest plays hot cold based on her mum) which means after 10 or so I go upstairs with headphones and a bottle of wine
