I'm scared sh*tless. SOs first face to face with GU that will take place ALONE. EKK! As of now the plan is that I will not be meeting her this weekend. Then our first weekend visit with SS4 and SD2. Add in that I have a 5 month old and resident SD10 who is a nightmare.
Going about my perfectly imperfect path in life, I still try to hold out hope that Bozo and I can come to an understanding. It never takes him long to demonstrate to me that such hope is futile.
Ok so this post is actually about my kids not stepkids. My DH is the most amazing man I've ever known. He is wonderful to me, and my three sons. He's do anything in the world for us.
I have been part of a step family for approx. 3 years. DH has 3 girls ages 21, 19 and 16. I have S15 and D5. I was friended by DH sister's girls ages 17 and 13 on FB. No problem, right? WRONG. As I looked at the profile pictures I came across last christmas' pictures of the children. There were several pictures of the girls, mine including, taken but DH sisters' 17 year old that had drawn faces over D5s face. I was a bit hurt afterall she is only 5. I did discuss this with DH and his sister as well. Neither of them see it as a big deal because "oh that's how kids are" BS!!
I do not know my place.I don't feel like I am part of the family. Is it wrong that I feel a sense of disgust when I have to hear or see him? I'm trying the whole not saying anything but it's so hard. I'm expecting results NOW and not later. I'm off work tomorrow. Maybe I can get a break!
I am going to be alone with the girls primarily this weekend. My DH is involved in the production of a convention that is taking place this weekend so he will be at that from 9am into the night hours on F, S, and then done Sunday late afternoon. So he will see the girls if they are still up at night after the convention, and he will see them on Saturday when we attend the convention....but we will be there as guests and he will be there working so he will be busy.
She has two B's, a C, and two F's. I'm really disappointed. She always did well in school until her mom divorced her DH for the 2nd time, moved her to her Gma's house and stopped parenting her. (BM's XDH was the primary disciplinarian) She has pretty much had free reign for the last two years and it is so apparent. Now being a freshmen is when she really needs to step up. I thought she got that. Apparently not. Bummer.
I spoke to SO & he *tried* to give the Skids each a skittle for doing something that they normally have to be nagged about. He said they haven’t done anything else today that warrants being “treated”. Turns out, although BOTH deserved a “treat”, only SS9 got one.
Hey, do you guys think that having a baby will bring a better dynamic into a stepfamily. I have a stepson and I'm recently married. From ya'lls experiences, does having a baby bring a husband and wife closer and solidy their family or does it cause more friction and make the DH feel guilty for living with the new baby to the point that he wants to overcompensate for the skid. I feel like having a baby will kind of solidify our family and help make me feel a little more important within our family structure.
I am reading stories on here of young successful childless woman falling for a guy who has kids. Why would a young childless woman ever want to go out with a guy with kids?
As a young woman I know that I couldn't have stood to be with a guy who had kids... especially an older guy. I wanted to go out and have fun at that time... not have to deal with stepbrats.
As a mature woman I found that a guy with no kids around my age was a hot commodity and rare. So I feel like I had to settle for a guy with kids.
