DH likes to guilt me into things. Taking SD(7) by myself, taking her extra days, asking me to parent her, mold her and have "girls days" with her. Thing is I can't do it anymore. I don't get along with her, have I tried. She is whiny and full of attitude, why would I want to do things with her when I have my own kids to hang out around that I actually enjoy? Why can't her BM do girls days with her, I would not be cool with another woman doing that with my daughter!
The kid climbed in the cab for his hotel at 5:06 PM. We had an extra hour with him in the recruiter's office. It was enjoyable to spend an hour with a young recruiter, our son and four other young people.
Listening to their comments and plans for the future. Maybe, just maybe, our country is not as screwed as I fear that it is.
The recruiter ~25 just finished his 5th year in the service, is finishing up his bachelor's degree in marketing, is planning on staying in until he hits 20yrs, then retire and go private sector. I am very impressed with this young man.
SD16 has the worst Jealousy issues with DH & my BS9 (we are custodial). To a lesser degree she also has jealousy issues with her half-siblings on BM’s side, but she only spends part of the summer and holidays there. She is nasty, gives him attitude, refuses to speak to him or yells at him for no reason. For example, at breakfast yesterday, BS9 asked SD if she wanted syrup for her French toast. She blasts him saying I’ll eat my food the way I want to eat it. Fortunately, we co-parent both children.
I don't get a chance to blog much, but i am really irked right now.
I have spent the entire weekend angry. 
I don't know if Hubby will stick by what he told Demented about her not having SS this weekend. Apparently, she has a party planned and has already told SS. (When you want to be sure to get your way, make sure that you jump the gun and tell the children all about it first, so that if the other parent doesn't agree, then THEY are the bad guy for refusing - not you.)
I barely talk to ss13 unless nessecary. Yesterday he asked if he could borrow my webcam. I hide it cuz he just takes my stuff without asking. I told him no. He wants to hook it up to his game system and use it as a microphone. Of course he broke his headset. I told him it's not made for that and I don't want it to get broke cuz I use it to visit with my kids and grandbaby in another state. Needless to say he was pissed and rude all day. Last night we were watching TV. A commercial came on for that show The Good Wife.
"I NEED SD for the first weekend in August. You may have her the weekend before or the weekend after. Let me know what you decide ASAP." This is the text DH received Saturday night. LMAO. Bitch.
The past couple of weeks have been really rough on me!! My mother lives alone in a 2 story house. She broke her ankle and just had surgery this past Friday. I stayed with her all weekend leaving DH and kids at home.
I've been driving back & forth to her house after work then back home to make dinner etc DH knows I've been stressed! I guess knowing and trying to help out are two different things.
Does anyone have any advice on how to really be effective in saving with coupons? I have been clipping for a couple of months & remembered to actually take them with me for the first time yesterday. LOL! I guess making step 1: Be sure to have your coupons when you go shopping.
We spent $170 & saved only $7.42. I spend $1.75 on the Sunday paper each week to get the coupons. With the 2 months of papers I've purchased I figure I'm out $6.58. :?
So I have decided I am really leaving. I can't and I am more than torn up about it. Anyone know any step moms who have left and regretted it? I dont know if I will regret it but I love my SO alot but I feel like its not worth what I am putting into it. I need some encouragement please
