What do you do to take care of yourself? I am very bad at it --- I end up not eating all day, yet am overweight STILL 2 years later after having my second child, I need time to myself, and never figure out how/when to take it.... I need to exercise --- yet don't. This has got to stop.
Princess and I spent the morning together, trying to play with different updos for prom. She was kinda cranky, and I warned her I'd smack with the hairbrush like I used to when she was little, and then I'd be done. I told her I wasn't putting up with any crap. She laughed and said, "You used to pretend you dropped the brush on my head."
What is this all about and how do I deal with it?? Trying soooo hard to control my emotions and not let them control me but this is hard. She calls so much now since having a baby that its like everytime bf's phone rings sd9 is thinking its her mom. We are going on an overnight trip tom morning till tuesday and she I misses her mom so we have to take her home tonight now. Bm can't come cause she's feeding the baby-why is bf allowing this?
My DH and I met nearly 4 years ago and will have been married for 3 years in August.
Our son was born almost a month ago. He has a 6 year old daughter from a previous relationship. We used to have her every other week, but since she is in kindergarten we get her every other weekend. I love her like she is my own child, or so I thought until I had our son.
So yesterday SS got to go to the amusement park with us. DH was going on a motorcycle ride to raise money for Leukemia today. Last night he invites SS10 to go with him!!! WTF???!!! I guess it's ok to treat your stepmother like complete shit. So this is on the way to my parents house, we had to stop by and get my dog (they watched the dog while we were at the amusement park). SS10 said he was going to think about if he was going to go on the ride with his Dad. MY stepdad tells him that thats a cool invite since he's supposed to be punished.
When I first met my DH he had a son who was 1 year old. DH moved from NY to FL in January and his son came down in Feb. with the BM. DH was supposed to step up a house and when BM moved down they would be together. When he moved down, BM told DH this isnt going to work. We cant be together. From then on DH has been doing everything he could to please BM. BM will allow her boyfriend to make hostile language when giving the child to my DH.He has now just taken her to court, for information she has not provided. BUt I still want to rip her head off.
My SS11 came over yesterday, and I apologized to him for last week end --- my part anyway. He was super great about it --- said "It's OK", I told him that I love him and don't want him to be mad at me, etc... didn't mention any specifics, as I am SURE BM will grill him about if I mentioned anything and if so, what, exactly.
Was a significant age difference in your kids and your BF/DH/SO's kids ever an issue for you? How'd you accept it?
I don't know how to handle this, how to handle these feelings.
The hurt isn't like a sharp pain, it's like a low-grade hurt that you can almost ignore, until you realize how long it's been there and how it eats away at you. And if I'm good, I can take a step back and see how it has gnawed it's way into that layer of depression that's been there forever and spread through it, insidiously sneaking it's way in until the hurt is as pervasive as the depression that is always just below the surface ... and I wonder if there is any way to rebuild around any of it.
So, we took a week long trip to England for spring break to see some friends that are getting ready to move back to the states. I was looking forward to it and dreading it all at the same time. My main fear was the SD would be an enormous pain in the ass. I was so wonderfully impressed with her this past week! She was wonderful! She helped with the kids and never once complained. I did get some attitude from her a few times, but that comes with the territory of having a 14 year old girl around. We had such a fantastic time and I can't wait to go again.
