I started a new job so I don’t have as much time for Steptalk – which is good and bad of course 
Thankfully I haven’t had a ton to vent about....until today!
I love how BM has no qualms about admitting openly that she can’t stand having to parent for longer than a week at a time.
wHY do i have to put dishes in the dishwasher for a 21 yr old sd? i speak nicely, have a note up to remind her. Plus she sucks her fingers all the time while eating or making food
DH was off this weekend which doesn't happen a lot with his job. Friday night we went to a sporting event...SD11 and her little posse of 2 friends were there running wild, not sitting down for more than 10 mintues at a time and spent $40 and still wanted more.
Hi Ladies I need some real advice lol im not sure if I’m doing too much or is this part of the stepmom job description. In short I am a BIO mom of 2 (17 &3yrs old) and have 3 step kids which are (7,6,&5). They are with us i mean "ME" every other week for a week at a time (Friday-Friday). I pick them up from school on Fridays.. they are general with me ALLL the time. I feel as though the BM and I are the ones that are switching off.
Just a quick question to try and give me a ray of hope through all the crap and hard times I have had, and will continue to have with the BM.
Are any of you in a situation where you get along with the BM? Does she like you and respect you and did you have to work hard to get where you are with her today?
Thanks
SS called Friday night. He called because he was bored. Never mentioned social services but did tell DH that HE decided he's going to do the homeschooling this year. DH asked him whos idea it was & he said it was his. Funny how the inclination struck him the week BM received her short check...
So SD9 spent 3 & 1/2 days straight with her BM to spend her birthday weekend at Disney. SD9 even missed a day of school for this which got me a lil upset but whatever. Anyway, she came back yesterday evening and man did DF and I want to BEAT her! She came back with such a freaking attitude! DF was trying to be nice by asking her how was her trip and what did she do. But she kept being all snappy and giving him smart ass, rude remarks.
So SD9 had gone to Disney land this weekend (her birthday weekend) with her BM. Well I had to push my plans for her slumber party because of the bitch and I guess things work out on their own. Turns out the weekend they went to Disney was a crappy weekend for weather. It rained all weekend, and hard! (Evil laugh) Poor SD9 said she couldn’t do a lot because of the rain. While she continued to whine how awful it was I thought to myself “well that’s want your BM gets!
Still not any better. No one's listening and now we are late to our first bus stop even though I told both of them numerous times that it was at 7 on the first day and I gave them a copy of the paper...that's still sitting on the desk. Taking a few minutes to jot this down before it's my turn to leave. E is deciding to not ask me questions anymore. He's deciding to only ask J because he gets what he wants that way...even after I told him not to do something. Wow glad I stayed to write. No one remembered the bus number since it's ON THE DESK! Going to make it????
Well I wrote this before I talked to my DH about what I saw, he was upset but he didn't have the reaction I expected. I told him all of your suggestions and asked if he wanted me to call CPS or if he wanted to and request a wellness check for SS. He really didn't say anything, I think what is really sad is that he wants him to be safe and happy but I think the thought of really having SS full time scares him. BM and MIL have really in a lot of ways screwed up SS and I think it discourages my DH to have him around because he doesn't seem to have much impact and plus SS is just difficult.
