NOW They Wear Clothes That Fit

Here's the thing.. I do not send any clothing that I buy for my skids back to BM's house. It won't come back, and she will have her other kids wearing it too. When skids get to our house on Sunday, I wash the clothes they have on, down to the underwear, and put them up in the closet. On Sunday when we take them back, they put those clothes back on and wear them to BM's.

What Kind of Crazy are These Ex's?

Talking about ex-wives, so many posts on here about them. I've tried to understand why they are so crazy, our BM, obviously. It has been making me sick as well. I've been making an effort to do things with friends to try to disengage. To remember life before the maniac.
Here is a taste of some of her antics.

Take herself to the emergency room in the middle of the night claiming to be found by police passed out in the car. Diagnosis-dizziness.

Christmas presents

Ok I've got another one......Is it ok to spend less on your skids compared to your own kids? My husband isn't working but he does get unemployment. We've been keeping our money separate. I have saved up for Christmas presents. He has not. I don't feel like I should spend the same amount of money on his kids as I do on my own just because he didn't save up. He had money saved which he blew throughout the year. Also when do I give my kids their presents? I don't want it to seem unfair.

Life lesson for the Skid - He did not qualify for the AF linquistics program. He missed it by 2pts.

He needed 100pts out of 200. He got 98. He is very disappointed.

He needs some time to get through this so I am going to give him a few days to work it out.

I was supportive and told him that this test was an aptitude test and not an intelligence test like the ASVAB is. All this is telling him is that he does not have a high level of aptitude for languages. The military is very proficient in finding where a person fits. With his ASVAB scores they will find a place for him that will take advantage of his intelligence and potential.

Clingy Teenagers

Not the Evil Stepmom's picture

Hello everyone! I am new here. I've seen several stepmoms talk about the relationship between their husbands and their teenage step daughters. I have 3 step daughters 18,15 and 13, a 11 year old step son and 2 boys of my own. They are 15 and 7. I thought maybe it was just me being jealous of them. They are constantly hanging on him and sitting on his lap. Even his son does this. I don't even want to be around while this goes on. If I snuggle up to my husband his kids find a need to do the same. It makes me very uncomfortable.

I need some feed back on this thanks

I got a mess on facebook from her (which I have already blocked her) accusing me of being mean to my uncle. I haven't seen him in over a year. This is my reply

I have no idea what the hell you are talking about. I haven't seen him since gma was in the hospital! And you are right I'm not afraid of you never have been. I just feel sorry for you b/c you are obviously mentally disturbed.

This is her reply

Super Foul Mood

HeatherM's picture

I'm probably just in a really bad mood as my two year old had me up every two hours last night... but today marks the first day of skid week..and that makes me even more annoyed... I cannot wait for his week of drama, pee, crusty underwear, stealing, lying, and over eating... not to mention his mouthiness that is 100% acceptable in our house.. not to mention that I have to lock all the cabinets, and can't put presents under the tree in case he steals food or gifts...
