The boys have started asking DH for permission to do this or that. Whereas, before, it was me. I can already see him stressing the additional responsibility. And the boys have started looking for ways to manipulate him - which is a GOOD thing kind of because they are doing things like offering to take out the trash, dishes ... all the little things that DH wishes they would do to help.

I had a nightmare last night that I came home from deployment and SS11, now 13 in my dream, was sitting on the couch and looked at me stone faced and said "you don't belong here."

My worst fear happened to another SM I know...

My friend, T, got a call Friday night. Her stepson, Jr., was killed in a car accident. She and her husband had custody of the boy, and she had raised him from a really young age. He got mad at his father earlier in the week (on college break) and said he was going to his mother's. Turns out the bio-mom hadn't seen the kid all week... So he lied about where he was and he'd been "off the radar" for a few days, one family thinkin he was with the other...

Am i being unreasonable?

Hi, am new to this site. Some advice would be much appreciated. I am married, we have 3kids. 7year old son(mine from a previous relationship), 6year old son(his from a past relationship) and 3year old daughter (ours). SS6 doesnt live with us coz his bio mum insists he is still young and needs a "real mum" in his life. We have him over for visits and some of the holidays. he gets along fine with the other too. We used to get along ok even though he always looks at me with a lot of fear in his eyes.

Can't pretend any longer...

I haven't mentioned it here as yet, but I'm pregnant. It was planned. Just shit happens that you don't plan for. We finally told the stepkids. They are excited, I was relieved, but then I just began to feel like I want to just die.

I've had to stifle my tears while they were here, but they're gone to grandma's for the night, and all my feelings are just leaking out.

It was me tonight!

Want to be a better SM's picture

I made what I thought would be a nice dinner. Truth is it was awful. For some reason, it did not turn out well at all!

SD17 actually came to dinner and did not complain. DH said it was good. I know it was not and I am not being hard on myself.

SD15 did not come down for dinner. It is her "statement" because I was cooking.

Funny, she made a good choice.

I just thought I would post this because it is funny...

So last night, I needed to escape. I made my SD her bday dinner and actually made it thru that without her noticing all the veggies I slipped in or the fact that the noodles are whole wheat. I was exhausted. BD was with her dad, so I thought it was a good time for DH, SS, and SD to have a bonding evening to themselves. So I withdrew to my room and watched Food Network for hours. DH came up with a glass of ice water and a cup of coffee me.

Unbelievable

I'm actually ticked off at some on this site. I came here when I had issues with my skids and even took advise with my own kids. I can honestly say I've walked away with a lot of wisdom here and felt we all share a common bond. A lot of us have horrible BM's, skids who steal, lie or do whatever they can to cause drama, disney dads who overspend the budget buying love, really horrible stuff. Recently I've just become overly upset about a skid who isn't being treated fairly, a skid who is being punished for things a bio can get away with. I really have a hard time with that.

Im not new, just a new screen name

Do people on this website really type their TRUE feelings?

I know I haven't in the past. My resentment and jealousy go way deeper than what I've admitted to.

My husband and I got in an enormous fight tonight. He broke our bed frame, and threw a beer against a wall. And left. I think he took his daughter with him.... I'm in the basement, so I'm not sure... but I'd guess he did, because I asked him to.

She hasn't done anything wrong.
Besides talking about her mother, all....the....time.
But she only does it because she lives with her mom 95% of her life.
