It makes me so sad to see the sadness on SO's face as he is increasingly unsuccessful in trying to see his children. The two older boys have been PAS'd and the young girl is held hostage by her BM. We get her when he can find her at home and will open the door. Since she has refused to return to mediation we are going to go see yet another attorney tomorrow. Even so, from what I've been told, it will take several weeks to months to get in front of a judge to enforce parenting time with the father.
SD9 has been running around my house for 6 years cutting curtains, gouging a pen a million times into my new wood dinning room chair, stealing my shit, paint on carpet, marker on carpet and dumb dumb dumb H NEVER making her accountable one time for it. I don't know why the hell i am still with him, pretty dumb myself for now. (3 1/2 years when my DS is gone and im out if it still happens)
Princess 18 finally called today. Ok, actually, she called yesterday, while I was out shopping with my mom. she actually didn't call me. She called my mom. After my mom talked to her awhile, my mom handed me the phone. And Princess immediately asks me an extremely personal question. (Which I couldn't even hear all of what she said- I just knew it was something I needed privacy to be able to answer...) No, "hi" "hello, how are you?" "What ya been up to?" BOOM. I was stunned. I was like, "What?!"
Hi All,
How is everyone doing in this crazy place called step parenting. Over the last few months I have sent 2nd wives of my friends to this site hoping that this place will help them.
SS11 feels its too much for him to " take out the trash" clean his bathroom ( he has his own and no one else uses it) does not want to clean his room or help out in the kitchen by drying dishes, setting the table or wiping the table off.
I am so pissed this kid is going to make me crazy he is almost 5 ft tall and 85 #'s with no physical disabilities - I call bullshit on his attitude.
My 18 y/o son had wisdom teeth out so HD is a little jeolous that i am taking care of him. (i think that is what got him started) DH making annoying noises with throat, whistling loudly, and trying to annoy my son who is in pain and very irritable because I won't talk to SD9. My son keeps asking him to stop and he continues. Okay, now he chased my son out of living room cuz he can't take him aggitating him.
Ok, So I have a SD who is now 18, We meaning my DH and I have been through so much with her. Her BM has never been in her life and I have had the priveledge of helping my DH raise her since she was 9 years old. I tried very hard to have a relationship with her and get her to open up to me, I knew from the beginning that I had to treat the situation as "fragile" because I could only imagine how she felt not having her BM involved in her life. Things did not turn out they way I or my DH had hoped for.
Is it always going to be my fault? I have 2 SD and one is okay with me and I think the other would love for me to be ran over by a car. When me and my DH got together we all got along just fine no big problems, but kids will be kids a pull stuff. Now one of my SD9 is telling her moms side of the family bad lies about me that I yell at her, make fun of her, an just down right mean to her and the list goes on.
This is my first blog. I am so worried that I am not going to be able to do this anymore. My biggest problem (I believe) is that I am just too old to take all of this on. Although I am a very active 51 year old and work out six days a week, the emotional toll at this stage in my life feels overwhelming. We have no outside help as neither of us have any family and so we have these two kids 24/7. Anyone with a similar situation?
Two weeks ago SS had an incident with BM, and BM, SO, and I all went to the police station together. SO had not been speaking to BM or SS at all, but he backed BM up on this issue with SS, and so did I.
A couple nights later - the day BM got summoned to juvenile court with SS - SS actually came over here, and he and SO have been speaking on the phone since then a few minutes almost daily. SO has also been speaking with BM trying to support her with SS and figure out how to handle the hearing.
