So when I was dating, egnaged to and living with my husband I laughed at my psychology professors rules for a successful marriage...there is a long list of them and I don't recall them all but there are several that stick out and now after 5 years of marriage being hard I maybe should have listened to some of those rules...
1) never marry someone whom has been married before...oops!
2) never marry someone whom has kids...double oops and twins at that!
Ok I know something about my MIL because my mom and her are best friends that my DH does not know yet and its killing me. I keep encouraging him to stop by her house for this and that so she can tell him the news. She is moving 2 hours away and I think my hubby will freak. He has already freaked that his siblings all ditched town and hate to come back for visits, he's going to go through the roof when he finds out that his mother is moving. He already hates that she doesn't make the effort to see us when she lives two blocks away unless she wants something...
I am so flipping mad right now. Remeber how I blogged awhile back about my son, our son not wanting his Big Half Brother...SS15 to go to watch his wrestling practive and crying about it. Well I figured tonight is not our night to have the stepkids so my son would get his chance to have some attention at practice without his big brother trying to compete for his father's attention. I planned to go tonight for the firts time, me work schedule, kid's health and the blasted head lice SD15 gave our household all kept me from going in the past...well tonight I WAS going to go.
dumb sometimes. My MIL is trying to rotate when she takes my kids on little errands with her....except she always always always takes my SD. WTF? My boys have to take turns but she can go everytime. Then i find my hubby is working thurs (when SD is coming for day) and im jusst frustrated i am getting to watch her all the time and He looks at me all shitty and says what im sure its something to do with kaylei... I wanted to scream NO ITS YOU FUCKER! Everything is not always anout your precious friggin daughter. I know shes the #1 i am dog shit compared to the precious angel.
I am...let's see what's up...hmmm...Let's hope he doesn't get into the poor BM deal...sigh...
One Tuesday, November 24, BM was calling my names and making threats as usual. Then, out of no where, on Friday, November 27, BM sends a text "just to talk" and wants me to meet her for lunch. Because of the bad history between us, and the fact that I was spending some much needed time with my family, I declinded the offer. Firday night I called BM back and told her I had a few minutes and asked what she needed.
I've mentioned this within other blogs, but have yet to dedicate an entire blog to it. so here goes...I really feel like I'm doing an excellent job at acting like I'm okay with all this baggage. I have done my best to let SD talk about her mom whenever she wants, I took her the other day to buy her mom a birthday present she had picked out in a town 30 miles away several months ago, I'm nice and friendly to BM and I never say anything rude or negative to her other than asking her not to talk down about my husband because he is my husband.
I know I have mentioned that SD5 has the most unhealthy hair I have ever seen. She has about 4 inches of baby hair that was never trimmed off because BM refuses to groom her properly. So about 6 weeks ago, DH and I took BS10 and BS8 for a haircut and SD5 was with us. We asked her if she wanted to get her hair "trimmed" and she said yes. We explained to the stylist that she should trim the smallest amount possible so BM doesn't have a coronary. When DH took SD5 home, BM didn't even notice the "trim." About 20 minutes later, DH's phone blew up.
Well, the amazing Skid has managed to resurrect his historical lack of maturity and decisioning capability. During the TG holiday from school he managed to lie repeatedly about having turned in all of his assignments and stayed up all night playing World-of-Warcraft then being semi catatonic during usual waking hours.
When we got home Sunday we found his progress report waiting in the mailbox. It was horrendous to say the least.
So, what can I do to help him once again pull his head out of his ass? I can't do it for him but I can get him some help.
