Kids are money pits

My husband has started this habit of complaining about how expensive our kids are to anyone who will listen. He calls them money pits and like owning boats. He says it in a joking not joking tone but don't think he realizes that it's not pretty.

Only the best for princess SD

No matter the situation SD14 always determines what the best of anything is and claims it for herself. 

We go to the beach or pools and she takes the best towel (usually mine!) even though she picked out her own towel. 

Ever since she was little at amusement parks she always had to pick the front or best seat and if we were there with kids her age she would make them take the less desired seat. My in laws and husband were always so proud of her for being "assertive." I always thought she was being a spoiled brat.

BM has never made any allegations of abuse (thank God) but she often acts like she is afraid of DH... But only if her new husband is around. 

SDs new passion is tennis, she wanted to do swimming but BM says it was too expensive which was a ploy to get DH to pay for it. Anyway she sent nasty text messages but once DH called her to discuss it she was very timid on the phone. I used to think that she was some kind of bipolar or borderline and this was just part of her mood swings or manipulation. Stupid regularly go from a raging B to acting timid and afraid of my DH. 

Favorites, again.

Just venting.

I'm so freaking sick of this competition for being the favorite, SD will not let it go and SIL encourages it.

SIL called my DH the other day to tell him she was going to a city in my home state. I'm not sure why since it's not a wonderful tourist destination or anything, it's a decaying industrial city with a violence and drug problem, but a small nice downtown. She wanted us to come. Perhaps so I could be their tour guide? Or perhaps so DH could bring his wallet?

(B*tch eating crackers)

My last post made me realize that I hate everything that my husband does lately. He's just so goddamn positive and optimistic. He acts as though he is living a perfect life and has a perfect family with me our kids and SD. We hardly ever see SD so he's kind of in denial about that but I can't get over the fact that he is happy and I am so not. I've come to realize his happiness comes at my expense, we don't get happy together.

Father's Day yay...

It's that time of year again, Father's Day almost as fun as Mother's Day...

I've two kids with my DH, I was thinking of doing one of those custom portraits where they make you into a version of your favorite cartoon, or one of those custom books he could read with our girls. Then I realized that I should probably include SD in any of these custom family things... And suddenly these are off the table for gifts. Ugh

Much older stepkids and bios, what's the relationship like?

SD13 has always had a messed up sense of family relations. She calls her cousin on BMs side her brother, she calls her cousins (my niece and nephew) her nice and nephew too, and though she calls my kids her sisters she says she wants to be like an aunt to them.

She is old enough to be corrected because this is going to be confusing for all the little kids involved. 

The thing is SD is 13 and there are no other kids of her generation older than 3. She is a sort of middle generation and considers herself a junior aunt. Which does make some sense.
