I still struggle with my relationship with the SKs but it's been a lot better lately. DH has begun to stand up for me, giving me the right to be the adult in my home. I stopped trying to be the parent to SKs a long time ago, but I have found a place between parenting and being the doormat. That's in insisting that they do as I say and respect me when they are under the roof I help pay for, eating the food I cook and playing with toys/wearing clothes that I help buy. I can be patient with Sks now. However, I still don't look forward to their visits.
Well we are two weeks away from D-Day. DH is feeling the worst of it right now. I think he really thought that she would change so she could stay living here after she turns 18. Problem is DH has to face the fact that SD17 doesn't want to live here, so she's not going to change. She rather storm out of the house, make a big scene and tell everyone we kicked her out. I know that is how this will play out. So that brings me to my question...I don't give a rats behind what other people think, except for BD12 and BS6 who are living here.
He's started to revert back from his toilet training....specifically pooping! I've been nice about it for 3 weeks now....but today i just snapped...cause him first 2 times and explained to him we dont' poop in our pants..the third time he lays a big one. And what does my husband do to fix this??? THE F IDIOT SMOOSHED IT UP AGAINST HIM !!!!. I laughed and cried at the same time , screamed at him that i'm not showering him, i'm not cleaning him, your doing it!
I haven't blogged on here in quite a while, but as I read other
blogs, I totally understand where many of you are!
Thanksgiving plans: this year (as we've done in the past three) my own 17 year old daughter and I will be vacationing in Florida.

We were supposed to have visitation this weekend with skids. BM said we could only have one skid as doctor said SS5 couldn't travel due to his cast. We had an email from the doctor stating he could, but she would not release them without a signed note...WHATEVER. DH showed up with local police. They demanded that she release both skids. She called her lawyer...long story short police supervisor said not to go any further as it would be too traumatic for SS5. Here we go again with the Golden Uterus BM's thinking they get to control everything.
I have been looking for a place to express myself about my frustration as a step-mom. I do all the work and get very little respect or appreciate from my youngest daughter. I found this letter in her Diary today.

The is a very angry kid. She is mad at the world because she feels abandon by her birth mom. She harasses me every day. We are in counseling. But it doesn't seem to help.
I'm gonna go pour myself a drink and raise my glass to all the ST members on here who are going through a breakup. Stay strong, ladies (and gents, if I missed any of you): hold your heads up high, remember that it WILL get better, and here's to all of you.
Happy weekend, everyone!

Step-parent to two girls. I raised them with my husband. The birth mom has been in and out of their lives. She continues to mess with their heads by only being around when its convenient for her. She probably sees her daughters 3 times a year for about 2 to 3 days per visit. My youngest daughter has decided to take out all her frustration out on me. She is very angry and hurtful towards me.
OK, there were 2 questions...
At the time of results brought in there were 36 responses. (Thank you all)
I got out of a possible 36 answers? I got 51 answers.
21 chose A
12 chose B
3 Had other questions.
7 made multiple answers.
4 made brand new answers that were not on the poll
4 felt the poll was asking the wrong questions.
NOW to tell you the truth, these results may be lacking in full truth of assembled data.
The man gene kicked in and I think I started to tune out on some of you...;-)
As you all know we are going to meet my family this weekend, and I have been having issues with wondering what kind of step mom that I am going to be. I had been thinking about spending a week away to spend time with my family and when I asked fdh about it he said no.. When I asked him why I could not go, he said fss told him that out of all the people in his life that really cared for him the one who loved him the most was not even his real mom.. Talk about tears in my eyes when I heard that.
