The battle at home has become intensely heated due to SD and my wifes ways. A little background, wife and I have 2 boys and 2 girls together plus SD. Since day one, I've been open and honest with wife about what I needed in our relationship regarding how to go about raising a family. Above all else I needed honesty. I needed her to know where I stood on children, step or bio, and how it was WE who would decided on how they are raised. I made it clear that this family, which included SD, was what I wanted most in life.
Well, today is my last day at work for a couple of weeks - going to the inlaws tomorrow until the 23rd, then back for Christmas Eve-Christmas morning with SS10, then off to my folks for Christmas dinner.
I only come on here at work because we share a laptop and I want to keep my venting private from my OH, so I would like to take this opportunity to say:
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
To you all.
Hello my fellow SM's! I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to each and every one of you that use ST - whether to vent, to give advice, get advice, whomever you are. I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I feel like I've literally had an epiphany (sp?) today. Like many of you, I have to deal with a BM that is lazy, practically unemployed, master PASinator, selfish, unappreciative, loser, the list goes on and on.
I'm an adult, so I can handle myself with BM. I don't think I was asking much of her...didn't need to be her best friend or even a friend. But can't we at least get along for the kids sake? She only see's her 2 boys 6 hours out of a month. 6 hours! And she still manages to make their lives so miserable that they are dipressed and have so much anxiety they get headaches and stomach aches. No matter how often we take them to counseling this won't stop until she does (or isn't in their lives). They are 7 and 8 years old. And have had to deal with so much from her.
Despite my previous blog post that seemed to piss a bunch of people off, I am still here. Eh, whaddya gonna do? I've learned to live with pissed off people... seems to be a natural occurring phenomena in my own personal orbit. Don't know why, I'm such sweet and nice guy.
SD is in Child Psychology this year. As part of the class, the teacher always has the students write their mothers a letter to tell them how they feel about them. She does this as they are learning about pregnancy and fetus development, etc.
This teacher knows a little about SD's situation, so she told her she could write to her dad, to me, to her mom.... So SD chose to write to all 3!
I don't know what her dad's letter says. I will find out Monday when he gets back into town!
I was just talking to DH on the phone (he's @ work) b/c DH felt the need to call and ask me what I thought about the following question.
Question...
Do you think we should tell BS11 before or after Christmas that there is no Santa Claus?
Me,"I'm not sure."
DH,"well I think it is time for him to know that there isn't a Santa. Before the kids at school start making fun of him for still believing there is."
Me,"IDK, my parents never told me there wasn't. I figured it out for myself, but I was younger than BS11 when I did."
OK my friends, it's after 8am here, my daughters have left for school(private christian school that my SS16 got kicked out of) and im heading to work. SS16 is still in his room, in bed, apparently not going to school.. AGAIN.. keep in mind he is flunking out! He just grunts at me when I ask him is he is planning on going. Im not sure what pisses me off more, the fact he can be so disrespectfull, or continue to skip with absolutely no consequences from his dad or school. And of course the ungratefull terd will be able to go hang with his buddies...
I consider myself an intelligent woman. I have learned over the years to take most things I hear with a grain of salt. However, there is one thing I am a complete sucker for - infomercial products. Most things I can look at and dismiss, but there are a few that I just have to have!!!! I'm not talking about the Billy Maze and Shamwow guy commercials - most of that stuff is just junk.
Here's the situation.....BS11 is grounded from the pc through the week, but gets 1/2 hour on Saturdays and Sundays until he brings his grades back up. He was totally grounded from the pc, but has been slowly bringing his grades up, so we have been slowly giving him back some privileges. SD15 is also grounded from the pc until Dec.31st and can not get her drivers permit until Feb. 17th (was able to get it Dec. 17th) because she broke 2 house rules, 1 promise, and lost our trust in her atm.
