What's with the poor hygiene and eating habits for skids?

paul_in_utah's picture

For as long as I have known them, my skids (SS20 and SD17) have struggled with hygiene and eating issues. SS20, who has lived with his perfect bio-daddy for the last few years, has never learned how to take a proper shower, and reeks whenever we see him. He doesn't know how to comb his hair, never washes his face, and dresses like a hobo. He also eats like a horse. He is about 5'9", and weighs nearly 300 lbs.

O/T: My brother's wife left him & their 2-year old child. (It's long!)

So, I got a call from my little brother a few weeks back. His wife has left him & their child to be with someone else. A bit of history: They've been married for 11 years. She left once before, about 3 years ago. She started on some kind of anti-anxiety meds & 3 weeks later she told him she wanted to separate. They'd been trying to have a baby & couldn't get pregant. Growing up, she'd always been the "good" child. She is one of 5 adopted children.

Tired of Living with Moody Men

Auteur's picture

UGH so last night GG was JUST AS MOODY as he described the Behemoth when married to her.

And he wonders why I am not rushing out to marry HIM!!???

Got the silent treatment all last night and this morning due to the wonderful "love note" that VD (SD12) sent him indicating that she is on the fast track to "raging trollop"

What did he really expect? The Behemoth doesn't parent. She just let's "nature take it's course" and pacifies her children at every turn. And he's been scared shitless from day one to say anything about it, instead misplacing his rage onto me!!

DH and my 1st baby ... vent!

disneymom78's picture

Last night I laid there with my hand on my stomach waiting to see if I can feel the baby move. So I ask my DH "so does the baby sleep and is awake in this point in its life?" Kinda talking more on the spiritual and concious side of it all. DH replied, well SS5 did most of his moving at night and always missed it but SS10 was active during the day and can see him moving in my ex's belly......ARGH!!!!

new here

Hey everyone im new here, i'm a father to 5 children, 1 sd10 and 1 ss13 then 3 bio 3, 5 & 6 all girls.
For the most part we have a very energetic household and lots of fun getting through our day's.
For the last year however my sd10 has really went out of control, she is in no way a bad child and is very loveing when she wants to be, she excels in her school work and does a few extra curicular activities which in whole will greatly benefit her in the long run.
I dont know where to start with how she behaves, so from here it may sound like a rant . . .

UPDATE!!! SILENCE!!

GG was home early from work (as per usual lately; due to the WONDERFUL economy) and was into the cheap wine again. Seemed as though he was brooding over something to begin with.

I handed him his "love note" from VD (SD12). The ONLY words he muttered were:
"What's THIS?!" (looking at the postage due mini interoffice envelope from the Post Office)

Long-awaited Return

MommaXs2's picture

After about a year of staying away from Steptalk, I'm back with a new username and a new attitude toward my life.

Here's some background...Been married to DH for 3 1/2 years. We have a BD3, and I have a SD12. In the past, I was ready to completely disengage or leave because things were so bad between me, SD12, and the BM. Even being a mother myself, I couldn't understand some of the things the psychopath (BM) did. I told some major horror stories, and I could go on for HOURS telling them again...but...

DH Mom is a nightmare

etyler's picture

I mean, I seriously am having a harder time dealing with this woman than I do BM. She will not get off our back about everything, she basically thinks that she is SD's mom. It is so awkward.

When we allowed SD to move with BM because it was a good, positive, healthy thing to do. She freaked out. It has been almost a year and she still mentions it almost daily, cries about it all the time and acts so immature it is unbelievable.

I am not my ss7's mother why doesn't my husband understand

briarmommy's picture

My husband and I argue all the time about my ss7. My stepson doesn't listen to me, respect me, or particulary care for me unless someone else trys to get my attention. My husband wants me to be my ss7's mom when he is here and I try to explain to him that I am not his mom, he has a mom I'll feed him and clean up after him but there is a certain point were he is not my responsibility. I love my bd she is my whole world I stay home with her and she is never not taken care of.

GRRR... It's my birthday, and I'm grumpy

Last-Wife's picture

I should have taken the day off. Students were complete monkeys today. had not one but 2 stupid meetings. Then I get home and house is a mess. All I get is grief from Lazy Boye when I ask him to help me out for 5 minutes. PITA pretends he doesn't hear me and Loghead has to chaperone a baseball game at his school. Remind me again- why did I give up soda?!

Oh yeah- and Princess comes home on Spring Break tomorrow.
