I just want to cry!

I know that most of the time I get on this website I complain about my stepkids...well to be honest that is the reason I joined. Because I cant talk to my husband about it because he thinks they are angels. I had a run in last night with my step daugther and I if I had high blood pressure I think I would have had it last night and this morning.

With school just starting back in session I wanted to get things off to a productive start. So, I made a list of tasks my sd needs to complete every night. My sd is 12 so I know she is capable of completing these. Here is the list:

Floating in and Out....

Hey everyone.. I've been watching the website, just not much time to write.. New job, and always busy. And I've been sick for over a month. I hope all is well, I miss everyone and wish I could get on more. End of this month I'm off for a week tho, so I will catch up Smile As for me, things have been great! We currently have skids for a week, and its been great. Ss9 is still all lovey towards me! We went to the beach over the wknd with skids, and ss9 said he loved me again..

Epidemic??

I can't sleep tonight, it's a problem that seems to be getting worse. Have Dr. appt. on the 27th for it. I'm thinking it's stress. But, anyway...I'm pretty much venting to myself because, well, it helps. Smile

The more I read other's SP blogs the more I question. Did just about every single BM go to school to become this BM??

The Price of Ignorance

Today was definitely a Wednesday. You know how those days are ... middle of the week, and deservingly called "hump day" because after this day the rest of week skates by. Unless you have a job where you work weekends. Then that just stinks.

Well, it has been an eventful week building up to meeting with DH's lawyer that we were going to fire. Bottom line: she needs to fire her staff.

Success stories and failures,,,what are the statistics in blended families

I am so down on my marriage right now and am constantly only seeing dark at the end of the tunnel.
We have a kid of our own I have one and BF has 2 who he runs around constantly for.
I am tired of being the bitch because i want my husband to remember that he has a wife and
child as well as his other kids but he drops everything for them and forgets about us sitting
at home because he has to take them somewhere even if it is not his allocated weekend. I try to
just make my own plans but he doesnt notice anyway.

The financial impact of CS

No, not on us, on BM.

With the discussions about children choosing which parent to live with at 12 or 14, I was wondering what would happen to BM if we ever did manage to get custody.

BM doesn't get CS.
BM doesn't get the federal child tax credit.
BM has to pay CS.

Making a couple of ASSumptions about BM's salary based on job type (administrative) and longitivity (been there just over a year) and her DH's salary (known, it's a public salary)...

Crazy ex wife

How do I deal with my fiance's ex wife trying to get him arrested for anything and everything every single time we pick up or drop off the kids?! She does this in front of his two kids 4 and 5 and shes constantly cursing and yelling at him. I am new at this and need some advice....please!

Blah day....

I'm really sad today...very stressed at work too and that doesn't help with my sadness. I've just been thiking how much I long for a good relationship with BF daughter and how I am completely disrespected by her. I tried so hard at first and now I'm completely done...I am completely numb to her. I know what it is like to be totally disengaged now. When she told my son that we didn't belong in the family and weren't apart of it....that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

what to do?

:? Hi I've been raising my step son since he was six months, he is now three and i still can't get attached and i find myself not really wanting to , i would really like his mom to take him. but she won't. i always feel bad, i think maybe these feelings will go away but after three years they haven't yet.i don't know what to do. i want to tell my husband, i have a couple times, but i think he hopes for me to get over it. i don't know i need help.

Hi, just an introduction....

Hi all,

I guess you could say I am new here. I have been lurking for several months and finally joined a couple of months ago. I'm not really big in to blogging so I hope that isn't a daily requirement? lol. I will try to add some things as I go but, I'd rather spend my time here offering support and discussing step-parenting issues. Even if that means ranting and raving, (oops, I meant 'venting') LOL. I surely know how good venting can be, so totally no offense meant. I truly feel for each and every one here.
