}:) So besides the issues I am having with SD17 and SD17, the elder SD21 came home (from Uni) for a week of holidays. I have had my issues with SD21 as she is lazy, unhelpful and thinks that the world revolves around her. Her father does not see this (or does not want to!) and thinks nothing of it. We have been talking about marriage for the last couple of months and decided to let the skids know and what they think. The younger skids seem to be ok with it, don't want to involved in the actual ceremony but support it to a degree, which we are all happy with.
My mom just passed away and I am a mess. Before you send me too much sympathy let me say we didn't have much of a relationship. She threw me out at 15 and so the relationship died a lot longer before the body that was walking around did. But I'm still upset--finally grieving that I didn't have a mom. And no I was not a bad kid, I got good grades and had a job at 15. My mom wanted to marry a 24 year old and she was 42 and she didn't want me around anymore. She threw out my 18 year old sister and drove my foster brother back to the boys home.
My grand daughter is a good wee girl and has an amazing stefather.
But this is what just happened when the 3 of them... my daughter SIL and G/daughter were in the rather crowded apartment complex pool...
Miss 4 yells to S/Dad in the pool " R....! Dont do that in front of a child!!" everyone looks at SIL and all he was doing was swimming away from her..... poor guy. I think my DD is STILL laughing.
One of those lighter Stepfamily moments.
UGH! So mad. BM brought my SS home the other day. She also nearly tried to walk in my house. I don’t think so missy! How can she think she would be welcome on my porch, much less in my house? It was less than a month ago, she totally went off on DH about something stupid. She never did apologize.
Anyway…that is not why I am mad. That is just annoying. I am mad, because she actually looks good. LOL and GRRR. She lost at least 30LB. and is tan. I am not used to seeing her little butterball self, looking like that.
The last time I went to therapy was when I was married-about a year or so prior to my divorce. It helped me recognize the abuse and propelled me out of there. I'm thinking it might help me get through this difficult time and decide if this the life for me. Or at least to better cope w/my feelings.
Are you a parent or a friend? There is such a fine line between the two that it is often confused. How can someone expect their children to have respect for them as parents when the focus is placed on friendship? Like my fiance for example.
This is the discussion I had with my fiance last night after dinner. He thinks that you CAN be both a parent and a friend I think the opposite or at least I disagree on how HE is doing it. You can be both if done the correct way. I believe Be a parent FIRST and a friend LATER.
I noticed the message from Admin that was posted back in April regarding issues with the tracking options is gone. I don't have tracking capabilities back, so I was wondering if that's something still in the works or if those options have been done away with for good.
AFTER READING KATRINKIE'S BLOG THIS MORNING MAKES ME SIT BACK AND THINK ABOUT MY OWN SITUATION. EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT COME INTO A SITUATION OF AT HOME STEPS , SO MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS EXIST. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO ADMIT TO MYSELF THAT EVERYONE INVOLVED IN OUR SITUATION HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE OUTCOME OF OUR SITUATION. MYSELF, THE STEPS ,THE EX, AND I THINK TO THE GREATEST DEGREE MY HUSBAND. FOR MYSELF, I SEE THAT I WENT INTO THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE ABOUT STEPS. I WRONGLY ASSUMED THAT WE COULD ALL BE ONE HAPPY, EXTENDED FAMILY.
