So to recap my back story DH has taken a job out of town (2hrs away) got an apartment (which I have not been too yet he has been "living" there for a ill over a month now comes home on the weekends). The Step kids (5,6,&7yrs old) come to our house every other week for a week (Friday to Friday). Since the new job he has their mom keep them Mon and Tues. I pick them up form school Weds and will keep them till Friday morning dropping them off at school. DH recently informed me that the reason he had their mom keep them was because I was complaining to him.

Disgusting things your SK does:

SD11's top 5
1. No matter what her father is eating or drinking she has to eat off his plate or drink from his glass.
2. She thinks it is ok to use her Father's toothbrush and so does he because they are related???????????
3. She and her little posse of fellow narcissists spend hours at a time in the bathroom and eat and drink in there.
4. She can run around, eat, drink right next to a pile of dog crap and not think a thing about it until she's told to clean up after her dog and then somehow it is gross?????????

SS10 locked me out of bathroom b/c...is Jealous of me????

Optimistic Soon to Be Step Mom's picture

SS10 wouldn't get out of bathroom when I had to go. Was doing it on purpose. BF pulled him out and gave him a good yelling--asked SS what is the matter and why he would do such a thing. SS called BM and told her he doesn't like me. Great. She must have loved to hear that..BF has told me she is jealous of me. Anyway.

BF asked SS why he doesn't like me.. asked SS if I was mean to him or anything and he said no. Then SS said he doesn't like me becaues when I am there it's like his dad "doesn't even look at him."

I thought only girls did this. *sigh*

This is my story

For you to have a better understanding of my situation I have to go all the way back to when I was 17 and first met my husband. I had recently moved to a new highschool for grade 12, and (lets call my husband John) John was there. The moment I met John I instantly felt like I had known him my whole life. He was absolutely perfect, he was handsome, funny, and made me feel like the only person in the world even though we had just met.

Tiny update

I have not put up a blog in a LONG time. I just wanted to put a little update out there. Things are still terrible between us and SS. DH's family has turned against us completely. Now if SS is going to be at a gathering, we are not even invited. More than anything this hurts my son. He loves his grandmother and uncle. They come over once in a while too see him but that is it. I guess they like playing favorites with kids.

Is it wrong not to bring step kids to MY family parties?

steph91103's picture

Hi - Just a quick question. When we are invited to my cousins kids birthday parties, Superbowl parties etc - is it wrong to not bring the step kids? My fiance is mad that if the party falls on a weekend when they are there I make him stay home with them. To be honest on my weekends off if I'm going to a family party I want to enjoy myself and not worry about what his 3 dirty kids are doing! What do you think? He says that since we are a "family" I should drang them too. Not for nothing but I think its wrong to show up with 3 extra mouths to feed WTF! .................

I question his relationship with his daughter (my sd)

I know it is bad to feel the way I do about the sd, but this is my life too and I married my husband because I thought I was his partner, his lover you know the rest. But, here lately he has went out of his way to make his daughter, my sd feel like a princess and I hate to bust his bubble but she is far from that.

I am the one that pays all the bills, I am the one that cleans the house, I am the one that takes care of our baby together. I am not jealous of my sd, but I just want RESPECT!

I was right and sad about it...

I blogged the other day about how I thought dh would take our extra cell phone and give it to the boys as bm's mom had their shut off.

I was right as dh brought it up last night. I looked at him with this look like 'really'?? I didn't say too much but I was not happy and he knew that. I did say though that if we do that I know that yuckopotamus will take the phone and use it and rack up OUR bill!

He doesn't like the term Baby Mama

allinall's picture

So recently I referred to my SS's mother as the baby mama to my husband. My husband got upset and said that he doesn't like that term and that I should only refer to her as SS's mother or by her name. Now normally I would respect someone's request of this nature. However, I asked him how come he wasn't bold enough to correct her in the same way when I was being referred to as "that bitch" "dumb-as girlfriend", "stupid-as girlfriend", "ugly-as girlfriend" and so forth by her. (Those are the only terms I've heard/seen via phone/text) I've NEVER heard him correct her like he did me.
