SD12 is graduating 6th grade on Thursday. BM promised SD12 that she will be there. She better not call and ask me to come pick her up. She is out of her mind. She is the parent it is her responsibility to get there. A little tiny part of me hopes that she does not come. I feel like if she is there I am going to feel out of place. She is just so loud and obnoxious and will make it a point to make sure that everyone knows that she is the real mother. GAAA But I know that what is best for SD is that her mother is there. I am excited about the day though.
I think my 13 year old stepdaughter is becoming the less than "golden" child.
Her mom is in full force stressed mode because she is getting married in a month(to her boyfriend of less than a year ).
SD13 is the maid of honor and is on the brink of refusing to go to the wedding at this point.
I have always dreamt of being this loving mother who makes everyone comfortable as soon as they are home. Makes the cookies, dinner, overflowing with hugs and advice, etc. Which I feel I have successfully created at my household for the most part. But, then there are the times when I go to school events and not only am I not in the front seat of my own life anymore, I barely feel like I'm in the car! How do you SM's have the confidence to just stand up and be who you are while BM is around? I get so self concious because I feel like she has to throw out the Mommy word to everyone.
Darling SD8 just came in to get her stuff that goes to her mom's house each week with her, as she does each Monday after school when she's going there. She was happy and sweet and gave hugs, and then, total weirdness.
SD: "Can I have that Lunchable from the fridge?"
FDH: "Sure, go grab it."
As she heads to the kitchen, she calls back, "My mom wants it."
FDH: "Your mom wants it-- to eat?"
SD: "Yeah"
FDH & I stare at each other in disbelief. I start to giggle and answer his confused look with "I don't know!" He whispers "But what the f***?"
Do boys ever outgrow peeing on the floor? What is so hard about keeping your pee stream inside the very large porcelaine target??? I am not a neat freak, but this is getting ridiculous. Is a bathroom that doesn't smell like a truck stop urinal too much to ask?! I don't have external equipment but it really doesn't seem like a complicated process to get the pee inside a large round bowl. So if you're peeing on the floor constantly, it either being done on purpose, you're lazy, or you're disgusting. Besides mopping every day (which I am) what more can I do keep from losing my mind??
I always feel so guilty about blogging about our situation and would hate FH to read some of my blogs, as I really lay it out in the open where I really should be discussing it with him. But FH works 7 days a week and teaches after hours and I really don't want to cause more conflict than I already do. FH knows that I have joined this blog but I have told him that it is mostly SM's (sorry to the SF's!) that I chat to and he has nothing to worry about, as it is just a place to let off steam. But you see he is quite jealous and thinks that I am chatting up guys :O .
What is happening here?! This 13 year old girl is on our site... I was pissed and made that clear!! Then I read along and see that we should not post and be mean cause she may do something to herself or whatever.. So then I feel like an ass for being a bitch to her! THEN ppl are pissed.. What are we doing here?! I did not want her on our site, I mis-typed something saying that she should tell her father they are married.. I DID NOT mean to type that, it was a mistake, I meant to type she should tell the woman her father is married to.. If she is concerned about her treatment or whatever!
Wow! After reading a few of these stories, I can actually feel the stress roll of my back.
My step-daughter has only been here a week and will be here for the extended 42 days. My husband and I have already had our first major fight. We were at the point of separation. BUT he finally realized in the middle of our scream fest that his 5 year old was very happy to see us fighting. To the point that she was sitting at the table swinging her legs and smiling like she just got a pony!
Well the saga continues. After DH had taken SD14 to her mom's on Wednesday night, it went from Bad to Worse. SD ran into him at a restaurant and handled herself poorly. We are pretty sure BM doesn't know about this. We received a fax from the the Mom's attorney. Completely misstating the way DH handled the drop off. Lawyer stated the DH told her he was done being her father and to have a nice life. And threatened to take her dog to the pound. He told her he could not parent her this way. She kept breaking rules and then telling him that there was nothing he could do about.
the thing that has got me to start venting now is that my dad and step mom were going to get a divorce and it had been about 2 or 3 weekd after they went to court and she called it off... my dad went through a tuf time before she called is off because of they wulda been together 8 years n jun or july and my dads begged her to leave becuase she wouldnt treat me and my brother right...
