not THAT happy's picture

So I'll just get started with the post I wrote on the forum. I know a lot of things will be written here.
Thank you all for letting me vent here, I really needed a forum like this one.

---------------------------------------------------
So everything went better than expected.
Of course my MIL already found out and haven't called to say a thing. Which is good, right?

I had a nice conversation with sk's mom and I don't know how friends we should be...(she used to be my friend back in high school... Loooong story!) Sugestions?

why do grown up step children think its ok to disrespect just because they are of age now? My SD is 21 now and lived with us for 2yrs after her mom passed away in 2004. We never had any problems with one another until recently, I would say the last 2-3 years. After she dropped out of college and moved in with her girlfriend she has become quite the opposite of what she was raised to be. Today I am needing to vent about her RUDE and very hurtful comment to me.

I got home last night to a sink full of dishes. DH was in the kitchen talking to me as I fed and watered my dog - (my child i love!!) I pointed to the sink and said i'm not cleaning those dishes and I don't understand what's so hard about washing the leftover food off the plates. DH went and called ss17 into the room and said learn to wash off your plates. I asked DH if he and his boys would be doing anything helpful around the house this week. DH took the week off and his kids are there. DH said that he would rather throw dishes away and buy new instead of washing dishes.

Day 6 of Camp MIL

Well we are on day 6 of DH at MIL’s. Ultimatums’ are risky, really risky. Long story short, I gave DH an ultimatum that he had a year to deal with SS14, either medicate him, put him in boarding school, or back with BM. Problem is DH works 60+ hrs a week, leaves me to deal w/a kid that is mean, disrespectful, manipulative and prone to tearing doors off hinges and punching holes in walls. Well year is up, DH has not made any changes, I can no longer deal with a kid that is taller than I am and outweighs me and feel safe.

I did some thinking...

After reading some of your storys, i might think i have it easy. We share 50/50 with BM which is physical and legal custody.We rotate weekends and have them every other weekdays they go home with BM on our days of the week. BM doesn't call on our weekends with my Skids. Maybe just once and we use the house phone for BM to call my skids, if wheir not home she texts my cell phone we don't talk over text only. MY RULE Smile (BM doesn't have my H's cell number).

My DW had two small kids when we first met and they're now both 4 and 6. Through time, as in every relationship small things have changed, but one thing has remained pretty consistent - she complains.. a lot. I'm not talking about the regular things like someone getting on nerves at work (everyone can understand that stuff), but more so things like this..

Message from BM

This is a message I just received from my SS9's BM, I just took SS name out, mind you that DH is custodial parent. I never answer these....but god what do you do with someone who is this vile and hateful??? I stay away from this woman....far away, I do not see her, I do not speak to her, but I find her very very scary? What would you do? SK's tell me that she is obsessed, and questions them constantly about us.
