The skids are supposed to be with BM this week. SS10 needed a ride to karate, so I told BM I would take him. He decided this meant that he could come here 2 hours early and "spend time with us". I was tempted to have a fit, but I found I didn't need to. DH immediately said to SS10 "That's fine if you're here, but we're going to act like you're not because it's your mom's week." We proceeded as we usually do when he's not here. We even got to take a nap uninterrupted.

Backs me up, but not a father

I'm so frustrated lately. We found some evidence last week of foul play on the SS15's part, so he's supposed to be grounded from texting friends, facebook and other stuff for the week. Somehow, he has all of this stuff still. When I told my DH that I'm not going to enforce this because I think it's their place, he got pissed at me... :jawdrop: WHAT!!??

A few little issues... nothing "right now" or serious

Ok, first, the most "right now". Just wanted to know what some ppl think about this sitch: We have a fairly small apartment. So much so that we can see into SS15's room and onto the bed from the living room and my computer. We also have no couch in the living room (takes up too much space).So, I think it's ok if SS15 and gf lay on his bed to talk/share music/text/facebook/etc. BM is not comfortable with them "making out" which generally consists of kissing with their arms wrapped around each other, so I try to stick to her wishes.

Are we really all that different?

I wonder pretty regularly if we're really all that different from BMs? I mean, there are things we're very different in: our view of the Skids, our view of our DH/their ex, and sometimes, our parenting styles. But, do biokids have showering issues? Do biokids have cleaning issues? do biokids have attitudes? The answer is yes. }:) The reason that BMs aren't complaining about it is that these are their children. Flesh and blood seems to have some weird way of getting you to overlook stuff.

So tired

I don't know how much longer I can do this. My husband's bipolar disorder is constantly causing issues. Then, there's SS10. He needs so much from me, but I just can't give it to him anymore. I need him to be grown out of this as of today. I need my husband to stop cycling now. I need someone to take care of me. This happens once a month or maybe a little less, but it happens whenever DH is making changes because he gets so mean and doesn't address the issues that are really bothering him. I wish he would go to counselling. I wish he would take better care of his disease.

So over this stupid kid!!

Lately, I just can't stand SS10. He's so weird!! Blum 3 And he has the strangest humor. He acts like he's so starved for attention, but he's not! I give him way more attention than I ever got. His mom gives him even more than I do. It's not like these boys are without parents at any time. I can't understand it. I relate much more to SS15. He's independent and loves to get attention, but doesn't go searching for it. That's how I was. I never based who I was on other people.
