I saw this on FB and thought it fit my situation right now. I am sharing it b/c I know some of us hit this question at least once in our relationships with our SO with skids. Pkg deal or not, it's no easy task to "raise" kids that are not your own. Over all guys seem to have it easier b/c they are less involved in the home front where the kids are raised. But there are a few of you guys out there too that wonder should I stay or should I go?

update - still here

I'm still here, am going to stay until we can get through cancer and counseling. I am giving this a last go. I told him and we signed a contract - as if a marriage license isn't enough - that if he contacts her again HE IS OUT ALONG WITH HIS SPAWN. If he was open to me about getting in touch with her about ss16 once in awhile that would be one thing but he is texting her and then keeping it a secret - so not good. I am curious what the counselor is going to say.

Am I gullible or am I a pig?

I was cleaning out my DH's work bag yesterday b/c I accidentally spilled a drink on it, so I thought I'd empty it and wash it for him to be nice ya know. Well guess what I found in the inside pocket? A pay as you go cell phone. So I open it and power it up and sure enough there's his xgf's contact number (under an alias name of course). So I check all the messages to and from and the last time they texted back and forth was just a month ago, planning to meet at the gun range, of course it was so she could see ss16ypoopoo. She calls him her sonnypoo and calls herself mammabear.

the pimple analogy

sterlingsilver's picture

I was reading on here this morning some of your posts and got to thinking something funny but sorta sad too. You know how when you have a pimple growing and it's painful but not yet ready to be popped? You are SOOOOOO aware of it every minute of the day being there and annoying you to hell, and all you can think about is that you want to pop that thing and get rid of it? You just want to get that puss out of your system??? HUH? Ever have that happen to you? :sick:

always somethin...

I go to the laundry room today to get my laundry going since I have a full work week ahead. No Tide, no Downy Sad Yesterday I heard ss doing laundry which is good but he used a NEW downy and an almost new 80 load bottle of tide. WTF? Then instead of letting meknow it's gone he puts the bottles back like they still have anything in them, I guess hoping to delay me noticing? Now I have to run to the store FIRST. UHG.

*chink* here's to no more long drives to school in the early mornings

Today was the last day of school for bs15 but ss16 goes until tues. I am not working morning shift until wed! So dh has to get his hiney out of bed and take him. Huh! I'm sure he will be laying there in the morning too sick to get up, and I will feel bad and end up taking ss but the thought that today was the last day to drive ss into school was almost worth a bottle of wine. Hmmmm, speaking of which where did I set my glass down?! Biggrin

who extended the school year - lol

Just when I was happily thinking today was the last day of school and I wouldn't have to drive with ss in car anymore, bs informs me that it's next tues that school gets out. I tried to convince dh to take boys in this morning but he chose not to. I am so tired of this kid being the golden child and getting away with everything. Last night he finished up the pot of (probably about another meals worth) of stew I worked hard to make yesterday and ate the 10 muffins leftover. I was planning on a leftover night later this week.

beyond pissed

Dh left over 2 hours ago to take ss16 to church. He's not coming back quickly for our day together, the one day I get off this week, so I call him. He says he's helping ss19 with something (very vague) and that he's going to bring ss19 home for the day so he can help out with the fence (dh is paying ss16 to help build and I was going to pay bs15 to help with the boards, now ss19 has to get in on it too and he doesn't ever do anything but stand around b/c he's over 300 lbs and can hardly work anyhow???). Sh!t!

RA understanding

sterlingsilver's picture

That post about RA (relational aggression) sure got me to thinking this morning. I am so thankful to finally have a name for how things are going in my family towards DH. It's sad and I am sad that DH is being treated like shit by MY family. I always thought of them as a loving caring group with no judgements towards others, being raised by a Baptist preacher dad. I guess it goes to show that this sort of stuff can grow like tumors in any family.

I'll be the driver, thank you very much. lol shut up back there in the back seat and go to sleep or something

I cannot WAAAIIIT for school here to be done. I have been driving bs15 and ss16 to school there and back daily for 4 weeks now since we moved. One more week. I like the BJ Shea show on the radio but not particularly their choice of music, well yesterday when we got into the car immediately ss16 tells me to switch to that station. I had changed it to MY favorite station but when dh drives with me, and I guess now ss16, we always have to go to 99.9

I thought of the song by Shania Twain "In my car I'll be the driver..."
