THis weekend has been especially trying. I am pretty good at disengaging for the most part. Many weekend with kids leave me feeling keyed up and in need of serious unwinding but this is way more. I'm not sure I can even put my feeling into words. DH has asked me what's on my mind because he can tell I'm bothered but I can yet discuss it, maybe I won't ever be ready since it usually comes to no good.
Ss13 picks on dd6. Teases her and picks on her to rile her up. Of course it works. But what do you do about it? I try to have a home that creates a good self esteem for my kids but it's hard when ss visits and teases and puts down the kids, esp dd. It has always been important to me for my girls to grow up with a positive body image, good self-esteem and confidence because a lot of girls lack that. Also because I struggled with that too. I haven't heard a lot of comments but dd has told us that ss calls her 'fat' (she's tall & skinny) & 4eyes (when she wears glasses).
So as some of you know, last week my husband scheduled me an emergency counseling session because I wanted SS10 to be placed in a summer program or summer camp.
so we get SS6 for 2 more weeks this summer...DH and I discussed it on what weeks are good for BOTH of us and that is the weeks we are getting him. BM (being the bitch she is) told DH that he was still getting the monster on the last weekend of August (which is HER SCHEDULED WEEKEND)and I have a HUGE problem with that and so does DH. Reason we have a problem with it is the 1.
I'm so glad I found this site! I've been feeling quite depressed that I am "stuck" with this child. She is cheeky, lazy,ungrateful and in need of some serious discipline. I decided previously not to have a child but now I'm wondering if I should, just so I can have a child that will be disciplined and that I actually like! She is nothing like me;a tomboy whereas I am feminine;ill-mannered whereas I was taught and value good manners. Her father tries to discipline her but he is a bit of a softie so after a while she just wears him down.
I thought I was alone. The first time I ever met my husbands ex she was standing on her friends porch in a very tiny two piece bikini. Wow! Why would you do that if you knew yor ex and his girlfriend were coming to pick up your kids. She hated me before she met me. Grant it I'm not an open book when I met people but when I heard some things she said I thought about heading for the hills and I still think maybe I should have four years ago.
and the first damn thing he asks is if we have beer waiting for him... Hell no!!! DH doesnt drink much and Im pregnant so we do not keep beer in the house and I am not spending $30 or more on a case of beer that you will drink all but maybe 2 of b/c ur a friggin alcoholic!!! Gah I am not happy about this visit... but what can I say?? He is family. However, he will not be leaving his damn beer bottles all over my damn house again this trip. I will say something!!! The last thing I need is for his completely unsupportive self to be stressing me out this weekend. Grrr... Oh well.
Skids are such little rotten monsters IDK how i will every handle them.
SS8- does everything he KNOWS hes not supposed to tell him not to "i didnt!" grr his little things are just an added annoyance to SD6
SD6- I HATE that little bitch brat! Tell her no and she has a full out temper tantrum crying throwing herself on the floor. im so sick of listening to her wining. she thinks that when its time to go home from the beach its okay for her to say "no!" she thinks she runs the show. Embarassing!
Well, the weekend went ok ... He came out to mum and dads (half hour away) on the Saturday, unfortunately, he brought with him the only person who I didn't want to see - his brat. Mum was outside and saw them drive in, so she came up the front stairs and knocked on the door - I opened it and mum said someone's here, so I said "I don't want him". The whole morning and basically the day, I didn't talk to him or anything, I didn't find him worth it, I was over everything.
I feel jealous of my boyfriend's one and only son (8) and I'm afraid my reactions are petty and immature. My BF shares 50% percent custody with his ex and now that summer is here, that means one week with us, and one week with her. My BF and I have a great relationship, but when his son visits, it goes to hell. I think we have several issues:
