What to do?

roxyj's picture

I am a SM to 4 (2 SD and 2 SS) and all are teenagers. We do week on/ week off living arrangements and the weeks we are alone, the BF and I are great. Weeks on, not so much. I feel like I am just getting angrier by the day with the kids and the parenting decisions the BM and BD have made in the past. They are growing into lazy, selfish, spoiled, bratty adults and I feel powerless to stop it or change it in any way.

SD14 says I'm to old to play guitar

A dear friend of mine is helping me restore and spray paint and old guitar I got at an garage sale. I have cooled off on my pregnancy blues and I want to focus on restoring this guitar to that I can play and sing to my unborn child. I have been playing acoustic guitar for 11 years but I haven't played in a about a year or so and I'm kind of rusty. But I want to practice so that when my child is born I can sing by their crib and play sweet lullabies for them. everyone tells me I have a really soft nice singing voice.

O/T-Are all children this self-centered or am I just impatient/hormonal?

My 10 year niece is staying with us for a month. I love that little girl so much and we've always been close, she used to spend every weekend at my house when my sister worked weekends and lived close by. I only saw her a couple times a year since my sister moved away 3 years ago.

She's been here only a week and my gosh she's driving me nuts already! I'm wondering where my sweet, considerate, loving, and wonderful little niece went cause I don't know this girl!

Blocked

I've blocked on facebook for telling off ekdest child for breaking curfew. Her father is too lenient as he overcompensates for the divorce.

I wasnt going to say anything till noticing her lack of apology at the fact we had to actually collect her. She wasnt even embarrassed. I personally would have been humilliated.

As her dad began to tell her off she managed to shut him down. I at this point was so itritated that i told her that

I dread it! I'm tired of it! What to do..

I don't know how to handle this situation anymore. I usually just take it day to day and handle it fine, but I'm dreading it even more today. SD11 comes back this evening from being at her grandparents house for the past week. Normally, BM would get her supervised visits every other weekend, but since BM tried to run the supervisor over, all visits with that facility have been cancelled and will no longer take place. Ever. So, DH lets SD go over to her grandparents house to visit her other brother and sister(grandparents have custody of BM's 2 children) and the rest of BM's family.

Feeling Down Today

8 months ago against the advice of many people my DH and I put a contract on a home that was a short sale held by Bank of America. We thought having this much time would allow us to be in the home before my daughter started kindergarten or when our "rate lock" would expire. Well, today we decided to pull the contract because we can no longer hold the great interest rate we had. This interest rate was so low that we didn't have to bring any money for closing (VA loan so no money down) and we were getting a heck of a deal.

Two years I think BM finally got it

She signed the divorce papers, finally they've been split up 4 years now, she started the divorce and just dragged it on and on and on, just to screw with SO and because well he had no way to fight. He thought because he had no lawyer he just had to take it. I came along and taught him documentation, and pro se. He got a great parenting plan even if it was less detailed than he wanted, he can beat her with it, until she gets right or has enough contempt to get it changed.
