The kids leave tomorrow. DH took the day off work to drop them off at the hotel where BM and her BF will be staying for the next two days. I guess they want to see this place for a vacation or something.
I'm tired, I don't know if I should do this anymore. I've been saying this since the fall. BF and I hash and rehash the same things out and yet I am still confused, I guess because he doesn't really give me clear answers, until Friday night at our couple's counseling session...I explained that I wanted our relationship to be primary and that I felt like he was still married d/t his 50/50 coparenting situation with BM. I said that I needed our relationship to be the central relationship and that if it wasn't, I knew I could never be happy.
I want to continue using this site, cause I love it, and I love you all 
this site has helped me so much, which I will be posting a huge progress later (when BF isn't sleeping next to me lol) But I'm wondering, how do I delete some of my own blogs I posted??
The title's not entirely correct -- I've been reading StepTalk for several months, trying to find some clarification on my situation, and it's been very helpful, but I am irritated for kind of vague reasons tonight and needed to finally take the step to vent in a post.
I am engaged to and living with my FDH. I have a SD8 who lives with us every other week, the other 50 % of the time with her BM. I have it great compared to a lot of STers, I know, because she is generally well-behaved and BM is fairly drama-free, although she & I don't have much contact, FDH deals with her.
No this isn't a I'm leaving drama post, I'm just not feeling the need to come here and vent since I resolved my step troubles. I'm still pissed about how I was treated by husband and SS but it's not happening anymore. You all were awesome in my time of need I hope to be able to help you all out in return someday.
Not sure how I got here..from a single, independent career girl with her own home and pretty great life-to living in a rented frankly disgustingly maintained house which we had to rent because of the rooms for the kids and the garden..My house wasn't good enough despite them coming every other weekend only..(this turned out to be an exaggeration as holidays and double weekenders have appeared at the last minute with no discussion with me..)
Help. I am at my wits end with this child. She is going to six soon and lately this little freak has been hurting my biological son. He is a defenseless 18mo. old. Just this past weekend this little attention whore scratched my sons face and back and leg while all she claims is he fell and hurt his self. Out of shock to see her with her hands digging into his shoulders i pushed her away from him. I didn't hit her. By god I wanted to. Now I am being seen as the evil SM who "beat" the step child. How do I get past this? I cant stand to think how far she will take this.
Will someone please stick a fork in me 'cause I'm so DONE!
Yes, helping care for the household and the children who live there are part of the requirement of living in MY HOUSE where I pay MOST the bills, including those for OUR BS1 even though you can afford to help more but you don't, but half-assed housework and mistreating my child because you resent having to do it or because you are not happy with me or your life is UNACCEPTABLE! If you are so unhappy PLEASE do us ALL a favor and LEAVE!
I know one of the policies of Steptalk is no names but sometimes I want to give BMs name so anyone who meets her knows her for the fake she is. As for the Golden Rule, it wouldn't matter if she did it to me because I honestly don't think I have done anything for her to get as upset as I do.
This is so petty but I am sick of hearing from people that DH and her still keep in contact with that BM is such a sweet person etc. Is it that people can't fathom the horrific things a mother is capable of doing?
We travelled the entire day yesterday to take SS13 to BM, got back last night late, exhausted, fell into bed and 6h30 this morning BM is already miss-calling us because SS13 has a migraine and is throwing up since last night... WTF!!! I specifically packed medication for him (he gets migraines, but has only had about 2 in the last 3 months and they usually last 1 hour & I texted her to say please take the meds out of his bag (in case he abuses them) - needless to say she never replied) because usually BM phones asking for money to buy him medication or to take him to the doctor.
