New to this hell

Not me's picture

I'm hiding in the spare bedroom posting this. Trying to get away from the noise of constant fighting and screeching (worked all day and seriously need 20 mini of down time). My husband wants me to hang out with him and his 2 kids. I CANT STAND THEM AND I HATE MYSELF FOR SAYING IT; it feels good to let it off my chest. They are extremely needy and constantly up his butt which causes arguments between us. I feel like I'm in jail up here. We have them one week and then they go to stay with their psycho mom for a week. We literally have to reset them; manners, behavior, you name it. I'm seriously wondering if I made a huge mistake marrying this man- he is truly a great guy but I just don't know what I was thinking! Any advice??? Just venting feels good. I count down the hours for when they will be leaving!

Funnily enough your story is not that unusual here! ;-)   I would suggest you read the book "Stepmonster" by Wednesday Martin.  In the days when my SDs were coming every other weekend, I spent a lot of time closeted in my bedroom or otherwise trying to avoid clapping eyes on the little monsters. Thankfully they are now aged 22 and 24 but when I met DH they were 5 and 7.

Don't beat yourself for feeling this way. It's natural to feel this way about unruly kids. Before you married H did you get a glimpse of their behavior?
