I have been a stepmom to 2 grown up kids for 13 yrs now and I have 2 younger kids. Although my situation is slightly different, and some might say not as terrible as others, I still have some issues to deal with. My husband had a bitter divorce, and the ex told many lies to her sons. My husband decided to file for divorce & the settlement was done separately. He met me, we fell inlove and got married while he was still dealing with the settlement issues. They also agreed to be open about everything that will affect their kids. So my husband told his sons that he was getting married.
How do those of you who have bio kids & step kids full time disengage from your step kids? I have a ds7 & a dd10. My SO has a ds7 & a dd12. The girls share a room & the boys share a room. I have been partially disengaged from the skids for a while but find it almost impossible to disengage completely, especially when my bios are involved. What do you do when skids & bios are arguing or fighting & SO does nothing or blames your bios? I feel like my bios are always in trouble & his get away with murder & that my bios are beginning to see how unfair it is.
What all of you said about my last post were, unfortunately, so right on. Onefootout, I agree he's doing exactly what you pointed out - preemptive strike. He wanted to manipulate me into caving in to play house with him, replace me with their psycho BM and become one loving family again. The problem is I did not make those kids with him, they are not the products of our love.
Ok, so SD14 is sitting in the living room watching something on TV. She is, first of all, GROUNDED. She's not supposed to be watching TV, but she is. Second, I want the living room to be available to me or DH to watch TV when we're home. I don't care if you were there first, you have a TV in your room, and if it's out there's a reason we took it out. It's our TV, we have the right to watch it when we want to and what we want to watch. But, she's sitting there. I ask her, nicely, to give me the remote or change the channel herself to what I want to watch (a show). She says "no".
My blog is not working please read the comments section.
Thanks!
Saw an awesome post on Facebook that sums up why I no longer have SD20 around:
Cutting People Out of My Life Does Not Mean I Hate Them, It Simply Means I Respect Me
So true. I don't hate anybody, but I don't deserve to be treated like crap, so...
SS10 has had a clogged ear for the past 3 days. We tried all the internet remedies and nothing seems to work. He keeps putting his finger in his ear and wiggling it because he said that it gets un-clogged for a bit when he does that but I don't want him to end up with an ear ache. Using a q-tip just makes it worse.
Do any of you guys have a simple solution?
I've brought up the topic here before, but now this is an actual real deal that is happening! History: BM and DH bought a house and lived there together for under a year before she moved out. I moved in four years ago. Since I've moved in, we've updated almost everything (flooring, trim, doors, windows, paint, appliances, etc.). We have an opportunity to buy our dream home from someone we know, and we have just gotten pre-approved for it.
Funny how reporting BM to CPS makes her gain some common sense. SD was over at her house this weekend for a softball party that she wanted to go to. We told SD that she needed to let us know immediately if BM's rapist DH was there. SD text us on Friday night and said that he wasn't there. Saturday we get a text from SD that says her BM told her this weekend that he will not be around anymore and neither will his kids.
So last night I was getting ready to go to bed and asked DH if he made arrangements for a sitter today... He says no of course--- so here we are last night trying to make arrangements at 10pm for 6:30 am today--- great right?!
