Today and much of this past weekend I've felt blah. Just tired. Tired of dealing with kids who don't put ANYTHING away. Tired of being a broken record. Tired of listening to the SO complain that my kids are messy and i know they are beign slobs and am actively trying to get them to clean up. Grounding, privilege loss, phones turned off, I've done it. Neither have video games or cells or anything that needs charging or can be played. They are one step away from sitting on their beds with tehir hands in their laps every day until the end of time. Ugh.
I dread the switch days.Even though I am treated as if I am invisible and don't exist, I hate the negativity,glaring and laziness of it all.I have disengaged and that only seems to have added to my frustration ,because now all the things that I have disengaged from become last minute emergencies or never get done.DH just seems to have the ability to not let that stuff bother him or he doesn't care anymore.I need to learn his technique......Now, on the flip side when they go back to the other house my mood improves greatly.I can come home and find the food that I have in the fridge for dinne
A month ago, DW and I agreed to taking care of SD's 2.5 yr son while she works as a housekeeper during the week (2 hours away), and then comes back here and strips on the weekend. We told her we'd give her until the end of Nov to take care of him, and for her to get her own place. Considering that the money she makes at the strip club is tax-free, she actually makes more than I or DW does per week. One night she even came home with over $500. Of course I've started to notice that when she doesn't come home at night, she seems to come home with more money.
I feel like I need a nice lady's jacket to hold my bateries...
In all seriousness though, how do we remove these? Can we block them? Or just flag'm all as offensive?
Why do I have to point out the your kids are here to see you, not play in their room while you fill out (non-urgent) paperwork?
Why do I have to remind u to pay your CS and tell BM when you will be away for work?
Why do I have to be the one to get annoyed when your kid takes a helping of dinner that is too much for two adults and they have been told over and over to take a small amount and then get more if still hungry...this is at the same time you sit there and laugh?
Should have just went away for the evening to avoid being here.
For the first time, E and I are home...by ourselves... going crazy. I'm losing it! I don't know if I can do this much more. The back talking, the I'm going to do what I want to do and you can't do anything about it, the lying... All I feel like I can do is cry!
I guess its time to accept that fact! My resentment towards DH & SS is growing and I'm afraid I'm going to lose control!
SS14 continues to screw up every chance he gets! There are never any consequences for his behavior so of course he never learns anything! Not only does DH overlook most of his behavior but so do SS teachers and coach and any other adult!
Hi all. Here's the scenario that I'm hoping someone has an answer about. We couldn't reach our attorney today and this is driving me nuts.
March 2011: DH asked BM if she would take SSs for weekend of 10/14-10-16 (this coming weekend) so that we could attend a wedding. She agreed and wrote it into their "handshake" (non-legally binding) schedule, that she would have the boys that weekend.
August 2011: BM, pissed about a chain of events that she made up, reneged on taking the boys this coming weekend. Texted DH and told him to find a sitter.
Well, SD11 asks father if she can go to Jr. high football game on Friday night, the game was Saturday morning. He says no he has to work. She ask can she walk to school and go by herself. WTF, are you kidding me, child thinks she's grown. Anyway,the game started a 8 AM and there was no one else willing to take her. Since I have disengaged I did not offer. Sad thing, I would have enjoyed going, but why should I change so she can get what she wants. Maybe she will start thinking now!!!!
BM actually showed up for her visitation (she was late no shock there) DH and I pick the kids up from the visit (it was supervised by DHs "mom" long story there) and the kids were acting cagey which we expected. Saturday was alright, as was most of Sunday, until Sunday night. The kids were playing a game and arguing about every little thing. Finally DH told them "next argument game gets put away" well 15 minuets later there was an argument.
