A new catch-up. I have not fallen off the face of the earth!

It's been awhile since I've been online, and wanted to catch up with my friends, many of you who held my hand for so long.

In my last blog, I was working part-time and H and I were going to counseling.

It didn't work. H paid lip service to the counseling, but when it came down to nuts and bolts, that's all it was, was lip service.

Is it normal to love your SS's but not want them to live with you!? I just think I need a break!! I have 4 other bio kids 2 boys and 2 girls and we have a full house, which is not a big deal but I just can't stand the chaos that these 2 boys bring with them, they are angry ,destructive,disrespectful,and very selfish, they are their mothers sons, and now I just want them to go live with her and let her deal with what she has created.I just want to scream with frustration.!!!

It's my fault, I wasn't honest

DH is at a training thing for work today, so as usual I'm left at home taking care of SD7. DH told me that after today they are all invited out for a free dinner at The Keg. He just called and said he will probably go and was I okay with that. Not really, but I felt bad so I said it was fine. It bugs me though that he leaves me alone all day with SD.

Blog 1 of 2 for today - positive first

OH got stuck in horrendous traffic coming home from work yesterday, so I got a call asking if I could go pick SS10 up from his after school club as BM was at college. Wasn't particularly thrilled by this, but trotted round to get him & it meant we actually had a good 30 minutes of one-to-one time.

My siblings put the FUN in Dysfunctional! (NOT about BM, for once!)

I am estranged from my sister, JK. We never got along growing up. She has personal issues and doesn't own up to past mistakes she's made in her life. She blames everyone else by herself. She constantly digs up the past and holds it against the family. No one in our family gets along with her and just feel better off with her out of our lives...less stress that way.

I got a message on my cell phone today from her. She told me that our mom called her @ work to ask if she would call me to let me know my mom's in the hospital.

Caught BM lying...why does it not surprise me?!

So BM was telling DH on Sunday when we dropped of SS that SS had to go to the optometrist. I mentioned, "I don't think it's been a full 2 years."

Hubby's insurance covers an eye exam but only every 2 years. When we took SS, he was given a prescription, and we got him 2 pair of glasses.

Well, we gave one pair to her, and we kept the other pair. She managed to LOSE the first pair about a month after we gave them to her. She blames it on US, even though SHE had control over them. How she figures THAT one is beyond me.

PAS... HELP

Ok, it's getting worse and worse with the kids (SS 7, SD 6). They cannot make it though the night at our house without waking up and crying because they 'miss mommy.' I already had to unhook all the phones in the house when they come over so they won't get up at 2am and call her. She sees that as a victory in her book and an opportunity to come down on BF for being such a horrible parent.

What Should We Do for Christmas for Stepkids That Are Emotionally Blackmailing Us?

LONGTIME SM's picture

As you can see from my prior blogs, my SS 35 has not spoken to my husband or myself other than to have huge adult temper tantrums since my husband's mother died two years ago. My SD 33 has refused to talk to us and let husband see his grandchildren since I did not invite her 2 children to go to the show with me, my visiting sister, my visiting neice, and my two DDs last Christmas. She has thrown several huge adult temper tantrums since this time - but I don't consider that communication just yelling and cursing on her part.

Can't take it anymore..I'm thinking of leaving him

My DH has a seven year old son from a previous marriage. Anyways, DH is such a jerk! WAnts me as a babysitter, gets mad if i dont take SS with me every where. Why would i need to? He's not my kid. Last weekend i got up early to go for a walk, SS was awake and told him where i was going and not to open the door for anyone. His dad was asleep in the other room. Well when i came back, DH was pissed off because i didn't take SS with me. He said i was the worst parent ever, i'm heartless and I should never do that to his Son again. I'm confused. What the hell was that about?
