for step parents- help me understand- I am the mother of 2 grown kids still at home 19 and 21. One is attending college and has a job, etc. the other quit school and subsequently his job- without excusing his shortcomings- I am sick of the constant stress being in the middle of husband and kids fighting. Is there a time that spouses (step parents)step back and realize we are trying the best we can and their constant berating is not helping but hurting the situation. my kids are not BAD as a personal attack to inconvenience you.
I am getting really REALLY tired of talking about ET. I was on the phone w DH last night when ET texts him telling him that SS is out of medicine. He tells me he is going to call her and then call me back. No big deal I guess, but it really bugged me. If SS runs out of medicine, GO OUT AND BUY IT! If you want DH to pay for his half of the medicine, keep the receipt and ask him for the money later. You don't need to text him at midnight to let him know! I am just so sick of this woman. I can't go one day w out hearing about her.
This was our weekend with my SD so of course it was a bit miserable for my and my BD. We are just not treated very well and I"m sooooooo tired of it. I have recently stopped any and all parenting and am leaving it completely up to my husband. I am really detaching. It feels strange, but not sure what else to do at this point.
My SD10 is just not very nice to me of my BD4 which is also her 1/2 sister. She is pretty much nice to EVERYONE but us.
Just love these comments from BM and her family:
-- About a week ago, BM's mom came to pick up the skids at our house. One of the first things she does when she enters is to yell, "When's that KID coming?" When FDH said, "Any day now..." she goes, "Ohhh you should have IT on March 7th because that's my birthday!" SURE, we really want our child to have the same birthday as you...? I just love her treatment...like she purposely used the word "kid" and "it" so there's like no identity.
Our BS 3 1/2 asked if he could take swimming lessons, so I signed him up, Dh knew this. He was supposed to start yesterday, but it was pushed back to the 7th which is good because SS10 had his Blue & Gold banquet last night. Dh sent me last week this big list of the skids upcoming activities & his oncall schedule & some Dr's appointments. When adding them to my calendar I noticed that SS10 has conferences the same time & day as BS's first lesson. BS will be alone in the water ( no parents) something he has never done, only an instructer & the other kids.
Blah, just igore this one everyone. Just one of those days.
Shaking my head.... must get this off my chest. So recently, we had some issues with SS11. He was being difficult and was not doing as he was told. Don't know what changed over the past month to trigger this but DH and I had pretty much squashed this behavior almost a year ago. In fact, any recent bad behavior has been directed at BM on the EOWE at her house so much so that she has had to call DH to ask if DH could talk to SS11 about listening and doing as he was told.
So all morning yesterday BM was texting DH out of control, like 10 texts about how she thinks he is such an asshole and that he needs to stop telling her what to do and that now we can't have our one weekend a month that was recently agreed upon. She was harassing him but he didn't respond to a single text! So proud of him! However, this brings up a new problem, we have him all week every week and if she says we can't have our one weekend a month, what's to stop us from just keeping him that weekend?!?! There is no CO or CS and we just kind of work things out as we go.
Well, apparently BM did not get through with the IRS. DH is getting nasty texts this morning. And my wonderful husband (thank u all for the support to convince me to convince him to document) has actually replied by email.
As my CH returned from his visit in Georgia over the weekend with his BD's, he came back disappointed again. He met with his eldest BD's therapist, who is supposed to be helping her with her anger issues toward him. Well, that was a bust. I guess the therapist has not been able to get her to talk about WHY she is angry with her BD. Then, the weekend progressed with the BD's just being brats off and on, mostly the oldest. They are 7 and 13. After spending this weekend, he is considering skipping the weekend visitations because there is nothing good out of it.
