Princess called all in tears tonight. Saying she doesn't know why people don't trust her and why everyone at college says she's two-faced. "I'm always so nice to people, and I'm honest, and..."
"Are you kidding me?" I yelled into the phone. (She got busted by me and her dad on January 7 in a major lie.) I told her that she was 18 and in college now, so it was time for me to tell her some truths, and I wasn't going to listen to her bulls#$@ anymore.
So we had skids for the weekend and we were over at bf's parents for the day. Well bm calls and said that she wants us to drop skids to her at 8pm cause her and her bf are going out to dinner. Well bf and I keep sd4 sunday nights cause she has preschool monday morning. Well sd4 has been sick all week and weekend, and we wanted her in bed early due to the fact she has to be up early for school. Well we get to bm's and I wanted sd4 to stay in the car (seeing as how she was asleep and its 5 degrees out) nope.. In she runs to see bm.
Well, as much help as this site usually is, you have to admit it can be depressing. The overall attitude for most of us is that this particular calling in life kinda stinks! As far as skids are concerned, we are just unappreciated, disrespected, taken-for-granted, outsiders whose only fault is that we fell in love with their (divorced, socially available) parent. Sorry!!
So for those of you who were reading my blog from last night- today wasn't much better. MY SS13 was in a foul mood all day. We were going to go bowling to get out of the house and do something but he moaned and groaned that he wasn't in the mood to go out. So we basically stayed inside all day for the most part. He is so strange at 13, no friends, no interest to speak of.. nothing. He just sat in the recliner in the living room literately all day long and either played his hand held video games or watched tv.
I am not a biological parent - I have only been a step parent for 9 years. I have loved 2 wonderful step sons for several years. But now, the oldest SS17 has turned into a manipulative, lying, stealing, teenager. He started spending more time with his BM and his attitude has turned horrible. I am sure deep down, the boy DH and I raised is still there, but it is buried down real deep. He is being manipulated by his BM.
So my skids are due to see thier bm next weekend. I have spent the last three days trying to get rid of my sd's head lice and I think I got it pretty good. I will spend the rest of the week making sure of this fact. I spoke to my husband and asked him what he planned to do if she came home from bm with them again. He said he would put a stop to them going over there for awhile. I told him that is great. I might need a break but it will not be at thier expense! I would rather have them here with me all of the time then come home covered in flea bites and crawling with head lice!
The 2 younger boys share a room and I had them clean it b/c it was a mess. Anyway they got to the point of making the bed and it was the last thing to do. I went in to make sure everything was done right, well they just slapped the covers and stuff on the bed and not done right at all. I asked "is this how you make a bed?" They said "yes" I looked at them and said no it is not and took the covers off and told them to redo it. They ran out the door and started crying to daddy! they were really crying!! Full blown tears ad everything. They are 13 and 11! Really????? :sick:
Thinking of u this weekend. Hope the IL visit wasn't too toxic.
...is your partner overprotective of their children? And if they are overprotective, are they overprotective of an only child?
Just curious and trying to make peace with what I went through so I can move on and prevent a similar situation in the future. Thanks.
So, I found out on Fri that my sd10 has head lice. I have never had to deal with this before so called around and got some advice while my husband called her bm and let her know9since she had been there the weekend before. Now I was thinking that she didn't get it from thier because my ss12 did not have it. But he thought he should call and let her know since she does have four other children there. So I was talking to my bm about it and actually defending thier bm for once when my mother reminded me that my ss had not gone to his mothers that weekend.
