SKs being only children

Anon2009's picture

I know that a lot of you here have skids who are the "only children." Heck, I was an only child until my mom married my stepdad. I'm older than my stepsibs, but it was still a huge adjustment for me.

I think that this situation becomes a lot more complex in a step/blended family (as do a lot of other things!). For instance, Dad and Mom divorce and only have 1 child (SS or SD). Then Dad remarries someone who does have children or someone who doesn't have kids but wants them in the future. Mom might remarry, but decides she doesn't want any more kids for whatever reason.

All the reading in the world, and I don't know what the H*** I am doing

Ok, I don't have kids. But, now I have a SD, 9.
I really don't get it. I admit that I am intolerant.
I find her behavior towards her Dad: disrespectful.
Everything is an argument, and she never takes responsibility for her actions. Emotionally needy, always has to be the center of attention. (she must say Dada-1,000,000 times a day)(She also has takes over any conversation through (pick one)whining, crying, asking inane questions, etc..etc...
Sometimes, I would rather cut off my own hand than spend time with her.

Greetings fellow Steps!

I am a 45 Yr. Old stepdad who realizes he screwed himself and is good at it Smile

Scenario:

3 Teen/early SD's who hate me and I feel likewise...

No respect; not even acknowledgement of my existence except as the life support system for a wallet.

Love my 2nd wife of 1.5 yrs....and we were together past 6yrs....

The drama continues....

So a few weeks ago i posted about buying the house of my dreams for my family and that SD was upset because she was given the smallest bedroom (see previous posts to get history on bartticus maximus). Well on Thanksgiving with all of the family here at my old house for one last celebration she was asked by her grandmother if she was excited about moving into the new house. She said "No, to be honest i've been thinking about going to live with my dad since it seems i'm not important enough to get the big bedroom in the new house!" My wife and her family were stunned.

The best Thanksgiving I've had in years!!

I decided to tell my wife that if she wanted to have her little Thanksgiving dinner with SS and SD that was fine, but I wanted to take the other kids to my Grandparents' house for the day, so I could see the relatives that I don't ever get a chance to see. She was upset, but with the way that my SS has been acting lately, I can't even stand the thought of being around him. Even on Thanksgiving morning he was a little asshole!! I did feel bad because I would have loved to have taken my SD with me to my grandparents' house too, but I knew that would be pushing it.

How do I handle SD14

She is becoming more and more selfish, and I've been trying to ignore it, because I don't want to get into with her, because I know BM will call BF and tell him how wrong I am, and then BF and I will get into it.
I bought her a playstation2 last year for her birthday. She will wake up and decide that SS10 can not use it. He will ask, and she will just say no. No reason, just because she wants to say no.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving 2009
BM was suppose to take the kids for a little bit but decided the night before that she did not have enough money. What that has to do with taking them to her house to see them on a holiday, I do not know.
So we ended up going to my moms, which was the plan all along. sd14 did not want to go as early as we did, but she did not have choice. We left our house around 1:30.

It could be because of the holidays, this blue mood....

BF went out of state for Thanksgiving, my family is out of state and I had to work.

BAH!

Been blue for a little over a week now, so then aunt flo comes for a visit.... just pour salt on my already open wound of being alone... but PAIN and all the other lovely symptoms involved.

Then I call BF yesterday morning. I did not think I would have woke him up, but I did. I am talking to him and they I hear something like a "coo" in the background.

"Who are you with?" I ask.

"SS10 is in bed with me, why?" He stated.

:O

What should I do???!!!!

What do you do with a mouthy 14 year old SS who Skips school to go have unprotected sex with his 14 year old girlfriend!!!????? I know what I feel like doing but what is the right thing to do. He currently lives with Bm and has for the last 10 months for the first time since he was 3 and his behavior has consistantly gone down hill. He is so disrespectful and argumentitive and quite hateful, Bm doesn't help she gives into him because she doesn't want to fight with him and DH does the samething sometimes.. I have never met a kid that liked to fight soo much.

Damn Bm Had it with the bitch... Sorry Strong language...

Ok today was the last day I have had it with the damn bm as far as my ss goes. We have had non bio daughter of my fdh for the weekend and the damn bitch only called to check on non bio of fdh.. Wtf... What about her own bio son who is my fss... I am to the point of calling it quits with the whole damn thing as far as everything is concerned.. I know I posted positive notes about fss but enough is enough and I am not sure how much more I can take here. Damn fdh treats non bio daughter as she is his own and fuck this. I can not take it..
