so excited i finally got a weekend with just MY kids!! dh was supposed to get his son and the one that isnt really his but she sends along anyway...but for some reason he didnt and boy was she mad!!! and i LOVED it!! she was txting him all kinds of ugly messages that she needed a break and wanted to go out for a drink and blah blah blah...oh well if you cant handle your kids you shouldnt have had them hooka!! i have 2 kids and never have a babysitter and i love every minute i spend with them even when they are driving me nuts!!
So my BS 13.5 has been a part of Army cadets for 2 years now. I'm very proud of this child of mine. He went from having no confidence, being afraid to take risks, to this whole different person... in school..in the community. Since he was 3 years old he said he wanted to be in the army. His father (my ex) and I both thought it was a passing fancy..but alas it wasn't...
My DH (current one) thinks that cadets is stupid. Why would I want my child to go to war? Why would I support this? etc etc... moronic things..
The birthdays of my skids are swiftly approaching. Traditionally this means we host a party with BM, although BM and DH call all the shots and I just appear at the party.
This year, because of BM's extreme hostility towards me, my therapist has advised me to ask DH to not put me in situations where I have to interact (or even see) her. To me, this means that we need to rethink the birthday -- either we host a separate party (DH said NO bc it isn't fair to the kids, and would be weird to invite all their friends 2x) or I don't attend.
So this is my first time posting, and I could sure use some advice. PLEASE HELP!
It's funny. Sometime back BM blasted DH about planning to leave the kids home alone, and then he did it anyway. But she was cool about it in the end. Possibly even happy, because here's what, now that it's summer, they're home alone almost every day now, granted only for the few hours that she works. The sad thing though, she lied to DH and said they stay by their aunt. And well, she has the kids lying to DH too. This weekend he finally got the truth out.
Okay so I have been a step mom for 3 years now and all in all it has been great...until recently! I have two step sons 17 and 7. They both have different mothers and they both live with their mother. My husband had his oldest for almost 13 years alone and the mother never even made a phone call. So needless to say he has some crazy issues and he is ADHD.
I've been a stepmom for 17 years. In that time I've made some bone-head choices, but I've also worked very hard, spent lots of money, and tried tried tried to make sure my Stepdaughter knew I love her. I've come to the conclusion that it was all for nothing, she's 21 now, and I'm still the evil dragon when it suits her. I give up.
I just broke up with my fiancé over the fact that while in the car he stood on the lawn talking to his x!!!! There's more to it than that but right I dont t have the energy to get into it. He continues to put her first even thou he knows she is a total manipulator which is what she was doing hen they were standing there on the lawn. I'm just soooooooooo over it!!!! I rather be alone. I desk with his kids the x and I have my own to contend with!!!! I just can't anymore or....did I over react?!?!!
I brought up to DH the "dating" scenario. I move out and we can start over and "date". It was a no go. So I guess I know for sure that Im doing the right thing. He said that as a married couple we should be fixing our problems under one roof. I asked him since when has he treated me like a wife? There is alot of game playing on his part. This all really sucks. 1 more week!!!
Just going about my day, doing some laundry, enjoying the day...trip to the waterpark, steaks marinating for a BBQ, Movie with hubby later....then phone rings.. ss8 wants to come over early... it's amazing how that one little thing changes my entire moood... I thought I had one more day to not feel alientated and used in my own home... I guess I'm wrong.
