Disengagement and other coping techniques...
After years of being a hands on step-mum, I disengaged some about a year ago and totally about 6 months ago when my MIL started to interfere and comment on how the skids are treated in our home.

After years of being a hands on step-mum, I disengaged some about a year ago and totally about 6 months ago when my MIL started to interfere and comment on how the skids are treated in our home.
My skids have ony been pulled up on their manners by me at my home. And I've constantly said to DH 'sort out their manners and ettiquette before their filthy habits rub off on our 18 month old daughter'. As a school teacher, once upon a time I thought it may be useful to create some 'house expectations' together - I figured, usually kids adhere to rules if they have some input in creating them. One of the expections is:
SS10 - DO NOT PICK YOUR NOSE EVER, EVER, EVER!
I am trying to learn what the abbreviations on here mean....can anyone please help.
Some of them I think I get correct me if I am wrong....
SD - Step daughter
SS - Step son
MIL - Mother in Law
BM - Bio mom
SO - Significant other
but what are all the others I have seen though out
DH - FDH - FSD - to name a few
Should I by Christmas for my SD16 (AKA lil miss crazy pants)? I didn't by anything last year for her when I did the Christmas shopping. I honestly figured my husband would since SD does no wrong in his eyes, but he didn't by her a thing, nor did he ever say anything to me about buying her anything. Now the time of the year has come up once again and we set a limit to spend on each kid....but no mention of her from him. Of course I'm not gonna bring it up because I don't want nothing to do with her really.
haha just found out bm is preggo (so are her 2 sisters, WEIRD they are all due a few months apart too) AHAHAHAAHAH i find that so funny since she just got with this new bf like 2 months ago! how pathetic. he has 2 other kids also, so shes a 'step mom' as well; but that hasnt made her any nicer to me. her bf's BM must not be a b*tch. I wonder how sd is going to take it. I guess more leeching off the govt for bm, no way is her a** gonna get a job now that she will have a newborn. but then she will be even more trying to leech off dh too!
Let me tell you how my Thanksgiving was.
For those of you who don't know the situation with my Mil and me, read my previous blog.
I posted a while back that my ss13 won an essay contest and he gets to go to the capital and to other places around the US. He will be gone for 9 days. He will leave this Fri. Anyway dh thought he was leaving Sat. and told ss13 that. SS13 told his mom that dh said he was leaving sat. WELL bm called dh and he let it go to VM, she called again right after so dh thought it was something important so he answered. Apparently bm went off on him b.c he told ss13 he was leaving sat and not fri.
Hi everyone,
I'm so sick and tired of this women..well you all have some idea.....So I pick up my SD9 and guess what? she has a broken foot..and do you know why?? because her BM will not buy her a pair of decent shoes..omg..I told BM that she needed a proper pair of shoes for school not these slip on shoes or crocs that have no support on her feet..but NO BM always has to be right and guess what..she has broken her ankle and her heel...poor kid..
Hello, everyone! Long time no see! I've been incredibly busy with school and my new life. And it's been wonderful. I just turned 21! And to think not too long ago, exH and I had different ideas as to how to celebrate my birthday. Crazy how things change so fast, but this has been great.
And I got the best birthday present I could ever ask for.
Not having to deal with blabb! Yay!
Totally off topic but with Holidays coming up and all. Do you guys think a gift basket is too impersonal for say your brother and spouse?
My oldest brother has sent me one before but he lives in another state so it's easy to ship and we only see eachother a few times a year at most-normally i would shop around for something for my youngest brogher and his wife who live in the same city as I do but this year I'm feeling going more simple.
