St. Jude Prayer's #2

blendedmommy5's picture

Prayed the St. Jude prayer every night so far. What a day today was. What a step in the right direction. I have the utmost love and respect for my husband. When he picked up his 3 for today's visit, he sat them all down, and had it out. He told them he had had enough. The backward behavior over the past 6 mos. is done. They need to recognize what they have in this home. They have never been treated as anything but equals, they have own space, beds, dressers, toys, unconditional love.

Yo Yo Yo Down

Ok, so we talked last night and I am still leaving. This is so frustrating. I have had it with this guy.

He says he does not love me and is tired of pretending. Ok... my queue to move on. We have a target date of April 1. Which happens to be SD11s birthday.... how bittersweet. The little hemorrhoid gets me gone for her birthday. Now she can be the hen in this house.

Good riddance.

Started out good now is so down hill.

First off.....My SS14 said in front of everyone that the HB side of the family is nothing but druggies and trash. Not true whatsoever. I was livid. I wanted to snap back and say are you sure your talking about the right side of your family or are you just trying to piss me off. I so wanted to punch him in the mouth. He got mad at me cause I took away his IPhone his BM bought him just for the ipod part of it.(it has no service) He is grounded for poor grades and It's not fair for him to have his electronics if no one else can either.

Wish I'd seen this site years ago

I posted on this site a few weeks ago after stumbling across it frustrated with the happenings ATM. I've been a SM for 15 yrs . It has been very nice to see that all these feelings I have had in the past that I had been told I was overreacting to by my in laws or my spouse or even the situations are not all that uncommon. Although sad as some of the things may be it is nice to read the comments and differing opinions and to know I'm not the only one out there.

Step Daughter has Bathing issues.

So my 10 year old step daughter has had some issues with showering . over the last 6-8 months, she has failed to stay on top of showering and brushing her teeth on her own. I have talked with her about how important as a girl to keep our bodies clean etc and she says she understands but fails to use soap or just fails to shower at all if she is not with us. She stays every other weekend with her grandparents on her mother’s side. WE are upset with them for not making her shower but also with her since she knows the rules. WE have tried everything to make her learn and nothing is working.

No Patience This Weekend

So I don't know if it's PMS or the overwhelming stress of moving into our new home (probably both), but I had a very short fuse with BF's kids this weekend. They were not being particularly horrible either. It was me. Thankfully my response is just to get really quiet and remove myself from the situation before I put my foot in my mouth, but I had to bite my tongue so many times! I very rarely have to urge to snap at the kids, but it just kept coming.

Can't get my blood to stop boiling over BM's lack of consideration this weekend.

(I posted this on Saturday but I am adding updates)
I blogged last week about how BM wanted us to take the skids for a few hours Saturday. Since FDH worked at both of his jobs with a break between 2 and 7 he told her we'd take them just until her mom gets off of work in the afternoon. She said she'd drop them off at 1 at our house.
