To Girhippoville where Mr. Not So Neutral and his enmeshed adult son, the Mechanic live. Uncle Kinky was always embarrassed of his hometown being too hick and rube. He moved to the "big city" which is really an inner ring suburb of the closest mid-sized city here decades ago before I even knew Chef.
He became frightened of all the smash and grabs/carjackings in his inner ring suburban neighborhood and sold his house mid last November only to buy a plot of land back in the Old Homestead.
I have been MIA and not able to blog in quite some time. My last post has some background. Just going through a big life change career wise that took on an unexpected curveball. Been occupied with saying goodbye to my previous place of employment that had its own kind of grief to process. Plus worry about making ends meet while job searching and getting establishd someplace new.
The stress of interviewing and trying to get some kind of soft landing, plus other personal non step related issues thrown in between has been a hell of a lot.
And man it feels good! I am done with putting others feelings before mine own just to "be nice" my time is valuable and if I don't wanna spend it with in-laws who secretly don't like me then don't blame me, but they do! lol I use to always put my MIL and SIL feelings before My
I'm curious as to other's stories of skids turning 18 and the progression that happened. My SS15 lives with us all the time and zero interest in anything outside of sports. Even with sports he only cares about the sport during practice and games/events. Otherwise, his entire life is wake up, play video games, play on phone, play video games, maybe take a shower where he uses every ounce of hot water, video games and phone until the wee hours of the morning when the birds start chirping.
SS17 applied to 5 schools with full confidence with an unweighted gpa of 3.1 (that includes core support classes that don't count by the schools he applied to). I've told him the schools he applied to are very competitive ( he was to apply to only one school lol) and he should expand his options.
Boy doesn't believe because who am I to know this school system lol. (um, but we are talking about the top UCs, I thought anyone would know they are top UCs..).
So I couldn't help it, last night I was looking on Facebook to see what other of SO's family was close with BM. SO's teenage niece isn't but i saw that she is friends with SO's ex gf, who he cheated on BM2 with and left her for. He told me at the beginning "That part of my life is behind me and I'm a different person now." Anyway, this teenage niece would have been about 3 years old when SO dated this woman, and has only been on Facebook a few years.
This is way toooooo long btw. I'll start with my appologies.
DW was late getting home last night. Not unusual. It is tax season and she works batshit crazy hours from Mid Jan through Mid Apr.
Anyway, she texts last night about an hour later than she usually calls on her way home from the office. She was sitting in the garage on the phone with her aunt. I did not hear the garage door open since we are in a cold snap and the heat is cycling on and off periodically.
I've blogged before about SO and BM2's enmeshment when we first started dating 7 years ago. BM2 coming and going from his house, cooking meals in it, and the constant communication, mostly about what she wanted the schedule to be that day.
BM said to SD.. "I don't know what dad and missk said to SS20 to make him stop talking to me." LOLLL. She is literally insane. I said to SD she really just does NOT get it.. SD agrees.
SD said that she still keeps going on about me. That... she "appreciated" what I've done (aka literally raise her kids for the past almost 10 years) that I damaged her relationship with SD.
I said to SD (almost 18) that I don't know why she can't recognize her own behavior and STOP trying to degrade my character and who I am as a person.
