Ridiculous amounts of presents because of blended families...

SteppingUp's picture

Just a little vent about gifts and kids. We debated whether or not to get the kids much for Christmas, and we felt like we didn't have much under the tree when it came down to the week of. But after all the gifts from Grandmas and Grandpas and aunts and uncles and Santa it turned out they got TONS AND TONS of stuff. Not that we're not thankful, but we're seriously considering next year telling DF's parents to tone it down A LOT.

what ss15 thinks of his mom

I blogged last night that I said something to ss15 about that we got info that he hates dh and why. SS15 was angry and asked if his mom was spreading lies again. After the talk with dh ss15 said that the only disability his mom has is in her head! And that she needs help!

So now that we know how ss15 really feels how can we help him and the others? I did tell him that he can look up things on the computer and read if he wants and ask questions but he is a teen. I left it at that.

Step mom transition

Two years ago I went through a divorce which ended a very unhealthy relationship. I am very thankful that I didn't have children to tie me to him. Now, I am remarried to the man of my dreams. He is wonderful and everything I have hoped for! Of course things aren't absolutely perfect because that would be a fairytale. My new husband has two girls ages 9 and 13. He also has parents that live in the same town and help with the girls a lot. For example, his mom comes over every morning to take the girls to school since we both have to be at work so early.

Only 2 more days. :o(

Only two more days of freedom left!!! Grrrrr. It has been a BEAUTIFUL, non stressful 5 days with SS gone. I so hate for them to end. And he has been with his mom so it is going to be even worse when he comes back. He will come back with the “poor pitiful” SS syndrome. (Worse than he already has it) He will talk a lot about his supposed ADHD, he will want to start going to DR’s for every little thing in the world, and he will want to quit his job. I bet he asked to go to the DR, within 2-3 days of being back from BM’s.

Things That Make Me Go Grrrrrrr

Not the Evil Stepmom's picture

Late afternoon yesterday my H picked up my SS11 from his mother's. He lives with us. My H wasn't feeling well and I told him he should just leave him there. He insisted on getting him anyway. I knew how things would go. My H spent the entire evening asleep on the couch and didn't say one word to his son. SS11 in turn spent the entire evening in his room because according to SS11 I'm scary. So about 9:30 I tell my H just to go ahead and go to bed that I would be in shortly. So I did a few things and went to bed about 10:00. My H's brother called. Really?! Is that nessesary at 10:00?

ANYONE ELSE HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO SUDDENLY DEVELOPED FRIENDSHIP WITH BM AND OTHERS THAT THEY PREVIOUSLY COULD NOT STAND?

LONGTIME SM's picture

H's SIL is a very jealous individual. No one can have anything bigger or better than her. I'm sure you all know the type. Every time I turn around she is bragging about something she or one of her family members do or have, etc. I have always tried to ignore this just to get along with her for family unity. Well, right now, I alone am doing much better than her family. SIL has not worked in over 30 years but seems obsessed with what I have slaved to accomplish in that same time frame. While I am now enjoying the benefits of my hard work her future is less certain.

could you imagine?

Could you imagine a life like this?...

A friend of mine was telling me that growing up her BM and SM were BEST FRIENDS. She said they went shopping together all the time. Would often times take trips together and hang out all the time.
I am at a loss for words. You mean this actually happens in REAL life??????????

Personally, the thought of shopping with BM makes me want to gag, if you could see her wardrobe you would agree....that is if I didn't punch her first. Hahah. What about you? Could you imagine being like this with the BM
