Terrible weekend and I think we're going to be over very shortly.

It started friday. We were supposed to have a child-free weekend finally after I cant remember how long. But i get home friday after work and find ss13 laying around eating icecream. apparently his mother is coming to pick him up at some point so i offer him the rest of my pizza from lunch and we wait for her to show. FH is off in another suburb with ss12 for his second hockey event of the day and wasn't home.

Can I vent about the bm for a moment? I am just soooo irritated right now

We've had the skids for 9 days straight because troll had to go out of town. She emailed fh at the last minute to let him know. It's been a rough couple of weeks now with them home day and night after school/hockey. Frankly, even if they were my bio kids, I'd need a break.

Supervising skids during the summer or long breaks from school....whadda ya do???

I'm trying to be proactive and get some good advice from y'all before things get outta hand here.
FH works 3rd shift so he sleeps during the day. BM is a bm who couldn't be bothered so she pawns the skids off on us during the days "cuz she works." (Gag me!!) So, skids run amok while fh is trying to sleep whenever they're off school.

You've got to be frikkin kidding me?!?!

Ok, dig this one...
FH thinks he's going out of town tomorrow... Tomorrow was supposed to be bm's day with the skids. Somehow, when I came home from my mom's today, it was revealed to me that FH is going out of town where ss12 is playing hockey. Ok, fine and dandy another day w/o him... but can you guess who will be there??? Oh that's right ladies, bm of course!

For those of you who think you're a bad sm, here's how bad a bm can be...

I bought everybody stuff for Valentine's Day...fh, my mom, my dad, etc...and I bought stuff for the skids. I got them big heart-shaped boxes of chocolates. It wasn't much...usually I do more but I've been pressed for time this year and short on cash.

SS12 in trouble but what’s fair

FH got the call yesterday from bm that ss12 had been in a fight at school. The story goes, he’d been picking at some kid who eventually got tired of it and hauled off and socked him one. That sounds completely plausible. He picks at SS13 and tries to push his buttons…ss13 holds back because he could really hurt ss12, he’s that much bigger and stronger.

Would you be upset? (plus, a bit of venting)

Would you be upset if your guy didn't tell you about a parent-teacher conference and you had to learn about it from the skids? The skids told me about it last night during dinner. It was a crappy evening anyways because they hurried home from (you guessed it) hockey. I had to whip up dinner (nobody told me they were coming) which they only picked at, then fh took them to religion...leaving me with the dishes, cleanup, etc...and off to work he went. I saw him for like 10 minutes. So I was to say a bit salty.lol

Guilt parenting...how much success have y'all had at changing it?

FH is very bad at spoiling the kids. He caters to their every whim and drives them anywhere they want to go anytime of the day or night. What's worse is that he always does it with a smile and is so sweety sweet to them...and takes all his anger and frustrations out on me. Way not fair.

The thing is that alot of his guilt parenting needs to change...our counselor told him as much. We're trying to have him see the counselor for his alone sessions and they can work out how to change his parenting style.

Confused about fh...but more so, just how much skids is too much???

I've gotten things lined up as far as realtors and what not goes. I'm making plans to move out and are getting all my ducks in a row. So now, fh wants to work things out...he wants to go to counseling. He initiated it and said that even though I initially didn't want to go he was still going to go for himself to get himself right. So I told him I'd go. Our first session will be on the 24th.
