Well Christmas went better than expected. The teenage SDs didn't hang all over my H like they usually do. And I didn't feel like they were watching my every move. I think they actually had a little fun. My SS11 actually spoke to me! He lives with us but had been staying with his mom for a few days. He normally acts like I'm the devil. It didn't start off to good as far as H and I are concerned. We had Christmas at my parent's house. The skids got there about 1:00. H was sitting on the couch and I was laying on the couch with my head on his lap. Well we were all debating football vs.
Okay, so I posted on here the other day about my SK's. SS3 almost 4 in particular. So, just to recap. We only have the kids one week out of the month. We live in different states. This time however, we have had them around a month. SS I believe is autistic. Just to clue in on the frustration, last night we woke up to another "poop session" SS3 had once again pulled his poop out of the diaper (cannot get him fully potty trained)and was playing with it in bed. Nice. Okay, so I'm used to it. Well, DH finally grew a set & stood up to BM.
Christmas Day..
So BM's (soon to be EX)H drops the kids off at our house at 11:00 to open presents and give them to us for the week. As soon as the door opens the fucking bullshit begins.
First of all, SS3 doesn't have his glasses on. We are trying to fix a lazy eye that he has, and the doctor gave him the glasses to see if they would help without having to go through with the surgery.
Our family Christmas at my parents was sheduled for Sunday at 11:00, a big lunch and then presents and time for my parents to hang out with the kids and watch them enjoy their gifts. My parents have always been good to my skids, and in my eyes, have never treated them any different than they treat Gibby, other than the fact that he is 7 years younger than them...
My DH for my christmas present flew in my brother from out of state. This was supposed to be my christmas with my family since I spent thanksgiving with my DH's family. We arrive christmas day at my mothers house at 2:45 to have dinner at 3:30. 3:15 the BM texts my DH saying "your son is waiting for you". So we leave (without eating by the way) get to BM's house by 4ish and the moment my DH walked in the door she's yelling at him saying their son has been waiting for him since 2:00.
Hi, I've been lurking on here for a few weeks and decided to post something about my stepfamily situation. I'm from the UK and it's great to find a site where people don't judge or criticise step parents for saying what they really think - no "well you knew what you were getting into".... "it's not their fault, you're an adult but they're only a child".... "children always come first no matter what" etc, etc.
Ss13 stayed home alone while the kids and I went to my parents (2hrs away). It was great because I didn't have to deal with ss for 5days til he and dh finally met up with us for Christmas weekend. Unfortunately when we got home today the house was a wreck! UGH!! I flipped out and dh kept quiet because he knew. Now, it wasn't trashed but I repeatedly told dh t needed to b picked up when I got home.
I have 2. One A ss 17 and another sd 10. I son of my own with my husband. I hate these little monsters. My husband don't get it, I call them the "UNGRATEFULS". They both have different mothers. So twice the step kids and twice the mothers. I need help. I have hated having my sd around at all because her mother is so far beyond crazy the nut house turned her away! My step son not so bad until last night. I stay at home with our 3 year old son. We gave him money for Christmas. My husband said to him "Did you thank Becky for your gift?" SS laughed.
Today was a real treat. I got tickets for my husband and I to go to a college basket ball game. I have been excited all week. Then, out of nowhere, he asks "can we give the tickets to SD?" Now, if this was the only thing we have done for her than I would understand.
it is so frustrating when my SS comes home and lists the many, many things the BM bought him for xmas...she can't afford anywhere near what she spends (I know, not my problem). But it bugs me sooo much and all I can think about is that we basically bought all those presents as well....CS.
arggghhhh!!!!!! She better not complain once about being broke in January when all those bills come flying in.
