i have been reading alot of post i mean it is 147 am and i am on here. i am vowing myself that when the skids are here i will not slave over the stove i will not run behind them to clean up. i will go for a walk or something constructive and truly let bd see what darlings he really has. whhhhoooopppphhh it will be a long walk i hope i have that much energy. i will not stay and listen to the crying and the complaining. i will not go along for the ride to pick them up.

wow this is painful

SadSad bd walks in from work and pretty much pays us no mind. he left at 7 am and got back at 7 pm. it is 10 pm now and he is sleeping. he ate supper and we had no convo at all, he paid no attention to our daughter. this is starting to become a habit and quite frankly its bs. i have work long hours and did not come home like that.

At a loss

Brief history, as I'm new to this site - my husband's ex-wife has has 5 children with 3 different husbands. I have 2 stepdaughters that are 17 and 15. They both moved in with us about 3 years ago because their mom was having issues. The 15 year old made the decision to move back with their mom after a year and the 17 year old decided to stay with us. Story could go on forever, but I'll skip to the latest drama....

My kid is so screwed.

My SS has been at my parents working on his driver’s license since Christmas. Dad has given him the full meal deal driver’s course and SS has been with a driving instructor. The instructor told SS yesterday that he would test on Thursday and told him that he would need his Social Security card to take the drivers test and get his license. So my dad asked him today if he was ready to test and if there was anything he would need. SS told dad that he needed his SS card and that he thought he had it but didn't.

My condensed story

Anywho78's picture

I’ve been reading this site for a little while now & figured I’d introduce myself & my situation.

I am 32 with no BKids. I was married but chose not to have kids until my XH gave me stability…he never did so I have his dogs instead.

I have been with my fiance for 2 years. He is a wonderful man who has a confusing total of 6 kids. He has custody of his youngest 2 who are SS8 & SD7. I play the roll of (step) mom with them as their BM shows next to no interest in them. They call me by my first name which is of course, all good.

My SD is 12, yay for her. We took the family out to dinner (Total of 8 people at Outback)and I'm taking her shopping once she knows what she needs. She wants a small get together with her friends now...ok, I agree pizza and a movie...hubby and I discussed this. Didn't want the party here. We talked, it was agreed on. Tonight I find out that she is have 8 girls HERE! Including two girls I can't stand.

Any one else have slow kids/ skids

SD16 moves at the pace of a snail. She has been doing dishes - normal dinner dishes for 4 - for over 60 minutes now and counting. Earlier she was shoveling a walkway 18 inches wide by maybe 30 feet long it took 45 minutes. Every single thing she does takes forever. We have tried everything to get her to do things in a timely fashion. Nothings worked so far. Any ideas?

Why Lie?

Does anyones BM lie about stupid pointless stuff?

It seems like every week we find out something stupid BM lied about. She says she takes the skids to some event, skids say they never went. She texts about movies they don't see or restaurants they don't eat at. She makes up phony conversations with teachers and acquaintances. What's the point?! We don't ask what she does with skids, yet she lies about dumb things.

Why can't the parents just do what it right?

I feel like screaming...so not me. But I think I could today. Tell me, please tell me am I wrong?

My BF just called me and said he had his bd10 but bs13 once again doesn't want to go to church.
Really? Who cares what he wants? My daughter now 29 working on her doctorate and an happy functioning human, never got a choice. FACT We go to church. When she moved home after getting her BS she didn't ask...she didn't lay in bed she knew we go to church and she went to church.
