I really hate this whole stinking mess. I tell everyone I meet NOT to marry a guy with kids. It's just not worth it. It's not.
My BD7 likes to get the mail. There was something in there addressed to SD20, even though she's never lived with us. BD7 wanted to know if it could possibly be something FROM SD20. BD7 did not hear from her on her birthday last month, she doesn't call and talk to them, text them, nothing. They feel very overlooked. And it makes me feel like crap FOR BD7.
Having DD15 in town, we've been swamped busy and they're actually keeping me somewhat busy at work since I'm now doing the work of 2 of the people that were laid off a couple weeks ago.
Hope everyone's been doing alright.
So I vented a month ago about BM allowing 15yr old SD to attend beach week wtih 18yr old boys. Well she went dispite DH telling her no and there would be consequences at our home if she did go. Well this was my breaking point and I would need to explain the countless times BM has ruined vacations, trips, etc. for you to even get the picture but I told my husband point blank the little bitch goes she will not go on our family vacation dispite my inlaws repeadted pleas FYI we are going with them shoot me now please.
I've posted about the kids making comments about my ffood before but last night I made VERY KID FRIENDLY pizza wraps. Pepperoni, cheese, and pizza sauce rolled into a tortilla.
The kids looked at them coming out of the oven
"I don't like that"
Took a bite and spit it out on the plate and asked for strawberries out of the fridge.
Called the wraps a 3 out of 5
I kept my cool til the end of the meal
"you might as well throw the rest away."
It started with a message a step sister I never met sent me. My father has custody of her five year old daughter. 
Apparently her mother and my father petitioned to take her child. I am estranged from my father for obvious reasons. I don't go on FB so I didn't know this chick even messaged me.
So today I went to 7-11 to get myself and my husband a slushie. My SD was upstairs entertaining herself with a new boyfriend. When she came down to grab a snack she threw a fit and became quite nasty. She stormed back upstairs and it wasn't until her father got it out of her that she was upset that we "apparently" always forget about her and never get her anything......This coming from a VERY ANGRY SM because I give my SD EVERYTHING!!!!! I put MY kids second to make sure that she has it all.....
SO what did I have to do?????
Well i have never "blogged" before, or written a diary, or spoken to really anyone about things going on with family life (with the exception of a few good friends) but i think desperate times call for change, and im hoping this might help 
i guess ill introduce my situation as breifly as possible, and get more into detail with later posts.
1) He still hasn't filed for CS (after going on 3 years of us having FULL custody), yet I feel indebted to his children forever because I have to live with them. He just had to call me from the psychiatrists office to ask what the major incident was that finally led up to SD being sent to the behavioral health facility (which was her trying to get SS10 and nephew 4 to touch her breasts) but yet BM doesn't have to do ANYTHING for HER kids. 2) Whenever we do things together, I'm the only one not in our pictures because he "just doesn't think to take any pictures".
Please help me come up with some craft ideas to keep the boys occupied. I want to show them that they can be creative and have fun without TV or video games.
*inexpensive crafts please.
I am mom of 2 boys and a SM to one boy. We are planning a wedding for this August and my SS (with support from his counselor)wants us to put it off until he is 18. He is 14 now and they claim he needs his dad to put him as #1 priority in his life, the BM as #2 and I could be #3. This boy has come in and out of our lives and played our hearts like a harp. I am very exhausted and not wanting to put our wedding off any longer as we have waiting for more than 3 years as it is for things to get better between him and his dad.
