I find myself lately being seriously wary when I think about me and DH having kids of our own. I deffinately want kids, it's something I've always previously looked fondly at and forward to. Lately, though, when we talk about having kids in a couple years, I'm not as excited as I used to be because I have soooo many negative thoughts going through my head of the b.s. I will have to deal with in regards to DH already having a kid.

I havn't been on this site for that long, but long enough to realize that I am not alone in having a really hard time dealing with the issues that come along with a blended family. Not only has being on this site shed light onto my situation, but just makes me realize how difficult these step situations can become.

As the skid weekend rapidly approaches, I'm starting to realize just how irritating the fixed skid weekend really is. My husband and I work all week, then we have to follow another "schedule" for every other weekend going out to MIL's. I'm getting really iritated by having to go out there, no matter what else we may have going on. Beyond the work that we do during the week, we also always have work to do on the weekend as well. So, we need to get up drive the hour to MIL's, then drive the hour back to town, then work until 8,9,10 at night in order to get the things done that we need to.

I miss DH so very much. We don't get shit for time together. During the week, he leaves at about 7a.m. I will get up with him to make us some coffee and that gives us about 15 minutes together. He doesn't get done with work until about 7-8p.m. As soon as he gets home we have dinner together, he takes a shower and we go to bed so that gives s about 2 hours together at night max. On the weekends, we either have work that needs to be done on Saturday or Sunday.
