I confronted Loghead tonight about the lack of support and concern he showed .o me the other night after PITA15 totally blew up on us, calling me names and saying awful things about me...
He had the nerve to suggest that I brought it on because I wouldn't allow PITA to use the laptop to do his homework. "He didn't make the connection that you were punishing him for ignoring the mess the dog made. He just thought you were being cruel, and he said things he didn't mean..,"
SS11 and SS9 go out of state each summer to see BM.
It's that time of year so they are starting to get rude and snotty - gotta love this custody agreement that DH and BM set up. But alas, this is one of the beautiful joys of step parenting.
At any rate, DH is anxious, just as he is every year. His biggest fear - BM won't bring the children back or rather, she will bring them back but really screws the children up over the summer. Sadly, his fears have come true so it's not like I can say "Oh Sweetheart, its not going to happen."
It is so bizarre. For those that don't know my story, SD over here has been living with her dad and I for the past 2 years - and consistently with almost no visits to her mom for the past year.
Recently, SD has begun relations with her mom again. SD is surprising me. She had such bitterness toward her mom that has now been replaced by almost a complete 180 degree turnaround. Before, her mom couldn't do anything right. Now, her mom gets a pass when she does the same behavior that pissed SD off so much before. It's very curious to me.
SD12 has been the biggest brat in the whole world lately. I know it's only going to get wrose seeing as 7th grade is in the fall. Her grades have been slipping and she has a I dont give a shit attitude about everything. Today we had a furneral to go to so we went to her school this morning to get her homework. The only bit of homework she had was to write a 4 paragraph perssaive essay....so anyways we get home and she does her chorse and her homework. She hands me an essay that a 3rd grader could have done better. I tell her that it is no acceptable and that she needs to redo it.
My DH kids are 14yr and 17yr now. Him and the ex have been divorced since early 2007. He has full custody, she can have them Sat-Sun, but it doesnt always happen, and the 17yr never or rarely see her. She doesnt help them with much of anything. She sends the 17yr a $100 toward his ins., $40 toward texting and $30 for ortho because she has to. I have been trying to get 14yr SD to ask her mom to help with sending her $ to save for a car, for the past yr & a half now. My DH wont talk to her and the SD is too chcicken until recently in Feb.
So 2 blogs ago, I explained how BM's family set up a FB account for SD5. FDH asked her to delete the account, she said no, so I contacted FB Security and had them shut it down. This was last Friday, well i'm on FB this morning and while looking at BM's SIL's page I see another "SD5 Name". (Oddly enough FDH and I are friends w/ BM's SIL, and SIL not a big fan of BM....weird I know) So I click the link to "SD5 Name" and sure enough, they started a new page. When FDH mentioned it they said "we used better security so no one can find her unless we send a friend request". Um NO!
Well the 2 asshole skids are @ the on/off switch again! One's good while the other is a complete insensitive, rude & disrespectiful asshole. Well me & the 17yr SS just started talking a little bit to ea. other in the past 1.5weeks & wouldn't you know it now the little 14yr bitch of a SD started her shitty ass tude! It started last thursday when she came home from visiting from her pregnant moms for just a couple hrs. Came home with a big bad snotty ass tude. And me & her have been getting along pretty good for the last month or so.
Ny poor coworker. She has a blind date. She tells me about him, right age, good job, owns home AND has a 7 year old daughter.
I stop her right there and verbally vomit all over her about stepparenting. How birth parents parent out of guilt, about PAS, about how she will never be #1, how SK's become spoiled and manipulative - ESPECAILY GIRLS. How step parenting was the hardest and the least rewarding thing I have ever done and if I had it to do over - I wouldn't.
Help! My 12 year old stepson "touched" my 6 year old daughter..
Hello everyone. I've been eyeing this site for a while now. I finally mustered up the courage to join then, just my luck, it shut down! :O Darn that Murphy's law--LOL. I'm so glad its back up and running now.
I'm dealing with a vengeful ex-wife of my live-in "husband". I guess that's why a lot of you are here too. They have one child together who's 7(SD---stepdaughter abbrev?). I have a son and a daughter from a previous marriage.
