I come from a divorced family and it makes the holidays terrible for me! I am almost 30 years old and I still get treated terribly by my mother if I even mention my father and his family in a sentence.

Holidays are the worst. This year we had mentioned going to my fathers side thankssgiving becasue my grandmother is sick and it could possibly be her last.

Should I be mad or am I overreacting

Ok, my 23 yr old stepson is about to get to me and he doesnt even live with us. He is wanting to quit college for the second time and go to work. I do not have a problem with that if that is what he is wanting to do, but for 6 months my husbands ex had been letting his girlfriend shack up with him.

The only reason he is wanting to quit school is so he can get a full time job so he can move out from under the momma and play house with the girlfriend.

If we all have the tummy bug then sd should too....hey its all about family!

Ok so, really I would never wish it on my sd because I have the tummy bug..but my husband and his mouth can so make me mad.

My husband came home with the virus a few days ago. We have a baby together so me and the baby were at home of course. I told him that I was going to take the little one to my moms and just stay there a few nights so we dont pass it.

I have a name and it is not HER

This past weekend my husband, child and myself were all hanging in the living room having a lazy day and it was fun...until the sd decideds she wants to come out of her room and act like she is the only one that exsists. We tried talking to her, but she gave us the cold sholder so we stopped. She was more than welcome to jump in at any time and join the convo, but instead she decides she just wants to talk to her father so before every sentence she says father. Ok...so se doesnt want to talk to me...thats fine I will talk to my son.

I question his relationship with his daughter (my sd)

I know it is bad to feel the way I do about the sd, but this is my life too and I married my husband because I thought I was his partner, his lover you know the rest. But, here lately he has went out of his way to make his daughter, my sd feel like a princess and I hate to bust his bubble but she is far from that.

I am the one that pays all the bills, I am the one that cleans the house, I am the one that takes care of our baby together. I am not jealous of my sd, but I just want RESPECT!

I think my husband finally had a...."Well maybe I should have listened to you 6 months ago..." moment

About 6 months ago I blogged about my sd being on facebook way too much and doing things and talking in a way which she should not have been doing. I talked with my husband about it and he kinda blew me off. I got to the point that I tired of feeling like I was the only one policeing her internet use. So I came to the conlcusion that if nothing was going to be done then I wasnt going to waste my breath. In all reality, she is NOT my child.

School trip...need some advise so we wont get stuck at the last minute!

I have tried to disengage, but when Im making most of the money then I feel I need to voice my opinion. My sd is going on a trip for school coming up this summer.

I dont have an issue with her going at all, actually I think children should travel and see how other people live and act and just see other things. But, my husband lost job....he DID find another one, but he is not making what he was, so we have had to really cut and watch spending.

Can I say spolied rotton....no its worse than that

I am about to paint on my car Sd Name Valet Service. The more I do the more I get walked on, but Im the one that has the bad attitude...or thats what my husband tell me.

It all started Friday night. See, this past weekend we were suppose to have sd, but she wanted to go to the fb game so we let her stay with her mom, because my husband had to be at work early Saturday morning and we could not attend the game.

Is it worth the battle?

My husband lost his job a few months ago and luckly I was able to support the family(that includes the 2 step kids and 1 infant who is ours together) with my income. He finally found a job but it is nothing like he was making before...we are getting by but nothing to write home about.
