Well we had a talk about meeting the kids as his "girlfriend." I have met them 5-10 times before. I am a bit younger than he is so he is worried about how the relationship between me and them will be. His exact words were "treat them like kids... not like childish... but like they are kids and you aren't." He has a son who is going to be 16 in two months and a daughter who is 13. I have never played this role in the lives of teenagers so I am really looking for help on this. I really want to get this relationship right with them. Anybody out there have any tips?
Am I wrong to not want SD13 to move back with us? She has nearly destroyed my marriage and made my life and my daughters a misery for two years. She moved out in a strop about being punished but now after three days wants to come back! Help I'm considering divorce. Am I wrong? Advice so needed
My 21 y/o cousin is getting married to her 20 y/o bf tomorrow. They've been together for almost three years and during that time, he cheated on her at least 3 times that I know of. The most recent one just a few months ago. But that's no why I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not to go.
what do you think? My husband & I have been seperated for 6 months now and just a month ago we decided to try it out again. It's a been a month now and we are doing better than ever. Still living in seperate homes, we are not rushing in moving in yet. But my question is that while him and I were seperated the exwife was all friendly with me, now that my hubby and I are back together she is keeping her distance from me? is this normal or is she jealous?
I decided to pick up some part time work on the weekends to have time away from the step kids and earn a little spending money. I got hired as a cashier in a large retail store and I start tomorrow. The only problem is I have never been a cashier before.
My normal job entails sitting behind a desk at home and making spread sheets. I am super nervous because I get very anxious around people I do not know and have little friends outside of church. I have been battling with anxiety and self esteem issues most of my teen and adult life.
That is what ss8 told DH he has last Saturday when DH asked him why he was acting so weird at DH's family reunion (it was bms's weekend but she let us have them).
Where does an 8 year old come up with something like that?
He was acting strange and DH and I both noticed so DH asked him why he was acting strange and ss8 explained that he had split personalities, he acts normal at DH's house and different at BM's. DH was blown away. I wish he had got the confession on video or something!
I am hypothyroid. I was doing okay on Levoxyl and then the company recalled their meds due to dosing issues. I was put on the same dose of Synthroid and holy crap.....stress went up, weight went up, hair started falling out again, insomnia, eye sight issues (focusing & sensitivity to light).
Obviously there is a dosing and a med issue here.
I have an appointment next Friday and I want to be switched to Armour. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thank you!
Following on from stuff I have posted about previously (http://www.steptalk.org/node/161065). In short, it's all about how I feel SO isn't setting appropriate boundaries with BM, moving her things to her new house, fixing her car, doing her DIY, etc.
I think my little stunt of dressing up like SD last night worked because today she is dressed like a normal teenage girl and not a gothic hooker. Except for that ugly pink and black bob hairdo and pounds of makeup. She just has on a pink Tshirt and some jeans with flip flops.
She is not talking to me which I don't mind at all. I just hope this sticks. And I secretly wish BM will get rid of her BF so SD will want to go home and I can get my spot back in the couch and change my instant queu on Netflix back to my shows.
I wish I had just gone to work instead of taking the day off to spend with mil and aunt in law. So for those of you who remember, that mammoth dog we gave to ss19 that dh adopted, it came back, you were right about ss19 not being responsible enough to keep a mammoth dog. So this dog has been here for weeks now, not fixed yet, stuck to the side of ss16 and will obey no one else. Last evening while we were all sitting down to dinner I told the dog to go lie down and ss16 says he's fine. So now ss16 is interfering with me trying to control this huge dog? what the eff?????
