FSD3 got a nasty cold that resulted in pinkeye. EWWW!
Now that I've got that childish moment of my own out of the way, I find myself feeling guilty that I react to the child's illness with revulsion. I think I do that because I have a preternatural fear of contracting rashes, parasites, or anything otherwise itchy from other people and I think I do it because. Well. Kids ARE gross. ALL kids are gross. *I* was gross as a kid and MY children will be gross until they reach an age when they aren't plague monkeys combined with poor hygiene choices.
Was it just me or was everyone unable to get onto steptalk?! I couldn't get on for like nearly 2 days :? Massive withdrawals! Lol
This has happened multiple times now and I'm so tired of it. It's not my fiance that is calling me by EW's name. It's others....friends, etc. It's very uncomfortable for everyone when it happens. I don't know how I'm supposed to respond. When it happened last night, I just stood there and smiled like nothing was wrong but I was seething inside, of course. Anyone else have any ideas for how to handle it?
Not sure what, if anything, can be done. This is not the first time this has happened. BM takes in feral cats. SD is sleeping on the floor of their dilapidated one bedroom trailer when she visits there. They also do not have a functioning refrigerator. And SD defends BM wholeheartedly, nothing is EVER BM's fault.*sigh*
i guess i am only in newbie in this step parenting game (2.5years)! and i am young step mum... but how on earth do you learn not to take your skids actions personally?
i know i take things to things personally, but when my skids SS11 & SD9) give me the forced hello and the no effort. it honestly gets me so upset and breaks my heart all my efforts are unnoticed, They arent rude to me or anything like that..
We have two events to attend this weekend that in my opinion should require khaki type pants for SS14. Two weeks ago DH texted BM telling her that SS would need nice clothes. He texted BM to confirm he has pants. When she said he had black shoes and shirt but no pants DH said but will have by the weekend? Her response not my responsibility- you need it you buy it.
So let me say I would be completely and totally EMBARRASSED if my ex requested I buy certain something and I said no! And he would be all over me saying what do I pay support for?
My FDH and his ex-W have NOT had an easy time of daycare situations. The first began reluctantly at a cut rate and ended badly with allegations of child abuse (nowhere near founded enough to warrant a CPS investigation, but significant enough to warrant ending it) and the second took AGES to get going because ex-W couldn't afford her half and FDH was being flaky about info-gathering (like, ahem, when the sessions start and what the late pick-up fees are).
SO picked them up from school when it was over for the day. According to the kids they were planning on taking the bus home to his house despite BM ordering them to take it to her house. It does appear that even the kids realise that BM is not acting in an appropriate manner. Currently we are all at my house, gives the kids and SO a breather as BM can't get past the gate, however they have to go home eventually and I am afraid that won't be so peaceful. I, myself am also worried about her trying to take the kids from school herself tomorrow.
sigh.. thank you everyone who posted on the previous blog. I find it's much better to write things here than talking to family and such, mostly because they all get so opinionated. I know it's hard for them to see any family member in a difficult situation, but all relationships have things they have to deal with. Dragging family into it never seems to help out much though. :/
