My stomach is so upset by the stress caused by both SD and BM! My god is has been horrible ! Between the outburst yesterday from SD15 getting upset because we won't put DD5 on the top and allow her to sleep in the bottom bunk I am just done! Today took the cake and today DH said that's enough! We went to MiL house for her birthday party . BM was already texting DH early for a pick up time .
Hi everyone! My husband and I purchased a 4 bedroom home last year. He has SD15 and SS13 who each have their own bedroom. I am pregnant with our first ours baby who will be given the last empty room for his nursery.
After this one I know I want another baby. I am getting so much anxiety that my husband will prioritize his older kids and their "privacy" while they're here and allow them to keep their own rooms, which they spend a lot of time in. (We have them alternating between 2 and 3 days a week but they only spend the night every other Saturday.)
Yesterday evening i was outside and BM2 drove by my house very slowly. SS20 was in the front seat and they just crept by.
It has been a while since we had one those weekends with SD 15 and she is back with her attitude and entitlement in full force to disrupt whatever little peace we had ! SD has not stayed the night here in months but when she did there was never an issue and she never had a attitude like today. I was actually enjoying her being around, yea not so much now! First last night, she stuffed some spare baby blanket I put in one the spare drawers I. DD5 already stuffed PJ drawer. SD has some drawers here but not because she likes to keep clothes here to wear here.
I'm in a situation where my husband filed for divorce, I'm living in his house, and I'm not able to move out until there is a court order for spousal support. Throughout my marriage. I always felt like my husband and his daughter were too close. He always put me on the back burner, and she basically acts like his wife when she's here. I know it's not her fault, this is a parenting issue on my husband's part, but I can't help but feel resentful. I was never able to take my place as my husband's significant other/teammate because she was already standing in that spot.
SIL showed up. It is amazing how my brilliant wicked/scary smart bride instantly dumbs down her vocabulary and communication style to cater to SIL.
It is truly nauseating.
The content of discussion is amazingly brain dead. Controlling her kids crap, making decisions on their futures while setting them up for failure, etc..
And it has only been an hour and a half since they walked in from the airport.
So SD15 has told DH that she will be coming this weekend ( DH weekend to have her ) . The drive for DH if he leaves after rush hour traffic (after 5:30pm) is about 2 hours . Since BM has moved which has been about 4 years I think, DH has always met her around the same time which is can be a little late but the drive is a bit far . The earlier he has met BM was 7pm but with construction going on constantly he normally meets her around 8 .
Hi guys
Glad to found a forum for step parents. Im new to the forum, new to the US (arrived in Jun last yr w my 14 yo son) married to my husband after dating for 5 years and now the huge issue is with his 18 yo daughter.
Shes out of school and working short hours at a ramen shop with no plans of moving out.
May 2025 be a year of adventure, prosperity, calm, and meaning for you and those in your life who earn it.
Now for what I did during my Holiday season. We flew to mom and dad's the Friday before TG. We had a great time and visits with all but 2 of the Rags clan. Only SS and Nephew-1's DW were absent. Both are struggling with anxieties. Hopefully they will be in a better place by the 2025 EOY holidays and can join the gatherings.
T-minus 17 hours until SS12 returns to BMLand. While I love SS and enjoy spending time with him, these visits are becoming more and more taxing due to BM/GF interference.
