This weekend we went on a family camping outing. DH, myself DD11, SD12 and DS13. Several times throught the weekend I felt weird about DH and SD's interactions but I'm having trouble putting my finger on why. I felt excluded, but not exactly so. It seems like she likes to play the role of spouse but I can't really express why exactly that her actions make me feel that way.
The reason I ask is because BM text messaged me yesterday. This woman pretty much only operates by text messages. I wasn't with DH when I got the text so I waited until I was home, since ya know...I'm not dealing with BM anymore.
Anyways, the long and short of it, BM wanted money to get SD5 some meds. She said that SD's asthma has been acting up lately and that she had had her in the ER the night before because of it. She told us that she really needed nebulizer meds for her and that they were $40 and she didn't have the money.
Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day...mine was was ok but I had some damage control to do with my son after my BF daughter and he had an argument. Princess has always got to be the center of attention and be into everything. My son is very good with a video recorder and was recording an event that we attended. My son was doing his thing and she came over to see what he was doing and try and tell him how to do it of course. She was in his way to move his arm to move the camera freely and he asked her to move.
I found this site after moving in with my BF and officially beginning a life with him and his 10 yo daughter. I have no kids.
His daughter is actually pretty well-behaved and we get along, so after reading some things on this site I consider myself lucky. I do have some of the usual problems (daughter has no chores, eats special meals prepared by her dad because she doesn't eat 'adult food', etc.).
This has been a difficult and eye-opening weekend. I found a letter that SD21 wrote to her father in August. It's long, but it's a good look into the inner workings of SD's mind:
Hi Dad,
As most Stalkers know, my son (SS-17) has completely failed to mature since about 5th grade. He is absolutely devoid of any thoughts of his future or motivation to do anything.
I have been massaging he and my wife in the direction of the Marine Corps (it is the service most likely to keep their foot up his ass enough for him to actually accomplish something) or less energetically to another of the services.
I've been with my bf for 2yrs and SD5 comes over EOW. At first my bf always used to pick up and drop off SD from BMs house but in the last 6-7 months BM keeps asking my bf to pick her up from different places (her friends, her grandads, the shops, basically where ever BM is). At first it wasnt a problem and bf didnt mind but lately its happening every time we pick her up and BM only calls about 30mins before we're supposed to pick SD up!
I don't want to make this a week long lecture on his less than sterling HS career or his complete non action on getting in to college.
If I can ignore his core personality it should be a fun trip.
Who am I kidding. THIS IS GONNA SUCK!
Best regards,
SD11 decided she wanted to go home yesterday like a normal eow visit instead of staying the extra night until the holiday! She made up some bs excuse, but I think it had something to do w/the fact that DH took her cell phone away after giving her hell for running up minutes talking to some boy.
This is my first post, I am glad to see I am not alone in the way I feel. I've always wondered what was wrong with me for being so annoyed with my stepkids. I have 3 bio kids 20,17 and my husband and I have a 3 yr old. My husbands kids are 11,10 and 8. They come over every other wknd, the boys 10 & 8 hardly say two words to me, unless it's "what's to eat?" the sd 11, is trying everything in her power to move in with us. She comes over sad, miserable, she complains about her mom her stepdad, she doesn't get what she wants from her mom, and she always asks to go shopping with me.
