Oh....and

ESMe's picture

I wanna tape a butcher's knife to the fridge and write on it...."try this, it will hurt less".
I left yesterday to go grocery shopping cause I was watching TV and she turns her music up so loud in her room, so I turned TV up. Realizing I was stooping to her level, i just left. SO realized I went grocery shopping and asked how my trip to town was, I said, 'better than being home'. He said, "sorry to hear that'. I know this bs gets to him...but what am i to do?

So, the saga continues!!! Don't know how much more I can take. I think my SO should just take a knife and stab me in the back, it would hurt less. I told myself no one would ever make me feel like a peice of s*** like this since my childhood; but I guess I was wrong.
Update, he asked me to marry him...so EXCITED! We are going to go look at rings this friday :):). He told me to pick the date. I say ASAP. Perhaps she would leave then????

Is it right to allow your 15 year old to smoke?

nofear74's picture

So, my wife tells me the other day that her son(my SS15) came to her a while ago, and told her that he smokes, which in my book is very honest and I give the kid credit for being so upfront. My wife smokes, and she told me that she has given SS15 a couple of cigarettes. To me that seems like condoning it, and I absolutely do not agree with it. My wife says that when she was a kid, she was allowed to smoke, but my question is...."Is it really ok to tell a 15 y.o.

SS gets sad if I use the word "step"

I was discussing with my husband how much I love this site and how helpful it has been. SS7 overheard us talking and said with a sad face "Why do you keep saying 'step-mom'? I thought I was your son?" This isn't the first time that he hasn't gotten sad. One day in Wal-mart the cashier asked if he was my little brother, because I look like I'm 15 lol. I said no and that he was my step-son so that she knew that I didn't get pregnant with when I was in high school or something. Once again he said "I thought I was your son."

The youngest SS8 just learned how to cut his own nails. I made his father teach him this summer. Turns out that finger nails does not include toenails! This kid had nails on his toes so long that they were curling under his toes!!! WHERE THE HELL IS THIS KIDS FULL TIME CUSTODIAL MOTHER?!??! Disgusting!!!!! Why is this child 8 years old and still having everything done for him?!?? When is "I don't know how, no one showed me" going to be over!?!?? I'm so sick and damn tired of hearing "I don't know how".

Long story but am needing advice....here goes. I have been with my SO for 3 years living together 2. I have a daughter,5, and he has a daughter at home, 16, that sees her mom rarely. Problem; I was taught in therapy to journal in order to assess my private feelings. His 16 year was snooping and found my journal in my bedroom on my nightstand. Not only did she read it she made copies gave them to my SO and her mother. Shared them with her sisters, grandmother and posted online. She tells me it was a mean and malicious attack on her and her dad.

SD's 9 and 10 have gone to 7 different schools, never seen a dentist and haven't had consistant yearly check ups, They live close to us now and we immediatly hounded BM about SD9's speech problems, her pissing her self, not knowing how to wipe properly and that being most likely the cause of all her UTI's, and her distended tummy, now SD9 has intestinal blockages, needs to see a speech therapist and is not doing well as a 4th grader, she's not even doing well for a third grader.

i am going crazy

My husband has a 7 year old son. He is always seekin for attention. He wants to always stay in bed with his dad even when I and his dad wants to get intimate. He pretends to be sick just to get his dad's attention. He refuses to go on errands for me, he won't even clear his table after eating. He tells me he doesn't like me. I am so unhappy and don't want anyone to see me as a bitch so I bottle up everything that's going on.

briarmommy's picture

Went on BM's facebook today and see that she is left town last night with her fiance and won't be back until later in the week. Does she call and tell DH that "hey, I'm leaving town for a heads up can you watch SS?" NO! Instead she doesn't call and tell us anything and leaves SS with her brother, a convecticted felon who wait for it, was convicted of child endangerment. He had his infant daughter in the car and was running and selling drugs across state lines, ya thats who you leave a child with.

Eat all they want??? Ever a limit??

baseballgirly's picture

Yesterday was a family supper with CLs family. We went and brought the kids as it was our weekend to have them. It was a buffet type deal. The kids went back in THREE TIMES for more on their plates and then their dad let them each have 3 desserts before finally saying anything!! The reason it bothers me is because both kids are overweight and I'm thinking letting them eat as much as they want all the time is mostly the reason for that! There are no rules or boundaries! Eat until you can't stuff your face anymore seems to be the rule. Then after 3 trips, CL asks "Have you had enough??
