I think it's safe to say that, again if I have said it, I don't like my stepson. He is almost like his BM. I don't like to retrain him when he comes back to our house. He tried telling me this morning that he doesn't like cheerios yet he has eaten them plenty in the past. Also when i threatened his lunchable for lunch he sat right down and ate his cheerios. I get frustrated when he just guesses at reading and will sound each letter out yet guess a totally different word. BM spoils him and gets him on weekends so he can sleep in, eat in bed and do nothing but veg out. At our house he has school, homework, chores and has to speak like a normal kid not baby talk. My ss whines and talks low so you can't hear him speak. I don't know if he is scared of me or if he knows he is in the wrong.
BM spoils ss like crazy and we don't because we know how to budget and take care of real life. I mean this woman paid $500 for a car detail yet could have put that towards her medical bill she still owes for ss. She never sends back jeans with ss after the weekend. It's only pajamas. I hope he runs out of clothes and wears pajamas to school so he can tell his mother to start sending back his normal clothes.
He also won't eat hardly any normal food. It might be a kid thing but I think he eats junk on weekends and is being stubborn. We don't have a child therapist close and i think he needs to talk to someone about EVERYTHING. His mother tells him she will pick him up from school yet asks us to meet her later in the night. We don't tell ss because we battle with her to follow the CO yet this is sooooo annoying and I have 11 more years of this.
Her voice makes me want to strangle myself too. She acts all nice now to DH and asks how he is doing and how is weekend was. It all makes me want to puke. I love my husband so much and we are trying to make a family of our own. I'm hoping that having a kid of my own will allow me to step aside from the step crap and let him deal with ALL of it.
I know all the games because I was a stepkid and I see so many game playing with my skid. It makes me want to just scream all the time or stay away all the time. I started saying I have surprises for him to read good but in the real world we don't get prizes for being at work when supposed to or taking tests in the higher grades. Not everything comes with rewards like his BM lets him think.
There is my rant and rave. Luckily my hair is still in tact.
