I have, until recently, always overlooked my SDs' faults, because really where does the fault lay? In my eyes it really isn't their fault. Children will do what they can get away with, it is their nature. It has always been easy for me to not "hate" them, because I keep this in mind. My stepdaughters (specifically SD17) is the way she is, because DH and BM allow it. Along with SIL and FIL. She feels entitled... because... she IS. They both feel the world is revolved around them... because in their world... it is.
Hi everyone, I'm new here, and I need some help, words, anything that can help me making a decision..please...
The disrespect is continuing at our house, every day it gets more and more ridiculous. SD17 called me step-bitch and said when she moves out she is never going to talk to me again. DH did NOTHING and when I got pissed off about the whole thing, DH said there is nothing he can do, and asked me what I would do if I was in his situation. Honestly, I didn't know what to say. I would never have this kind of guilt parenting relationship with one of my own. I am tired of SD17 showing the BD12 and BS6 that its ok to disrespect me and NOTHING happens.
MY dh is wanting to get his kids from his parents. In previous blogs I let everyone know the kids and grandparents situation. I don't think the grandparents will let dh have the kids becuse he is not grown up. He told me today he wanted them back, this terrifes me. Why you ask, becuse Im scared that we will get them and I will be the one that has to deal with everything. His motto is he gets to do what he wants, and to hell with everybody else. I told him today, that untill he gets those words out of his vocabulary his parents won't allow the kids to come live with us. But what if they do?
and I have to stop and remember, based on his example, how it is done right. DH took SD16 to follow-up DR appt. BM had taken SD over month ago to appt with this MD, and made follow up due to some meds were trying for acne, and BM's desire to start birth control for acne and regulations. DH had taken SD to GYN last week, who did not agree w/using BC for acne and only in extreme instances of problematic periods--I totally agree with this assessment.
FH wants us to get married next month. We got engaged in May. We are not having a giant wedding, just a few close friends and the families. We could pull everything together and do it next month, but I'm scared to death.
I told myself for seven years that I would never remarry. My first marriage was not a good one and my divorce went on for six years and my ex and I NEVER speak. (a blessing!)
We had SS for a couple of hours last night & had to go through the usual rigmarole of what he would & wouldn't eat (sigh)
Anyway, my OH ended up making him a sandwich as he'd had a main meal at school using 3 different types of cold meat, cheese, sauce etc. I watched him eat it thinking back to my childhood when it was 1 slice of meat per person in a sandwich, mainly because being one of 4 kids money was tight.
Court went OK today, I suppose. FH came out of the court room, and burst into tears. (Not in front of BM, of course!) Apparently, BM's attorney made him feel like crap for missing out on some of SD's younger years. However, I still feel that it's not his fault. The judge even pointed out to FH that he made some parenting mistakes. BM took off with SD to Florida for a while when she was running from a Felony Drug Trafficking charge. A bounty hunter went and extradited her, and BM's mom kept SD the entire time it was going on. But whatever, they used it against FH.
I was out in town tonight and approached by a mom on SD13's former softball team... SD isn't on the team anymore but her BM still has a part in the "middle of things". So I met someone tonight that knows my FH and was complaining to me that the ex called her at the last minute to take care of a parade...which she doesn't have a child on the team anymore. Bottom line right now is that I'm sick of hearing about FH's ex not taking care of her own responsibilities and me having to hear slack for it...and FH not doing anything about it!
So, I called FH today and asked him when his EX-wife would drop the skids sport's stuff off...well he tells me that he talked to his ex this morning and said that she was in the hospital this weekend twice and they told her that she can't drive...so he would have to come pick the kids crap up. Although, I know she went to SS9 football game on Saturday (which by the way her husband is an assistant coach). So, what I'm thinking is that she had to go to the hospital twice on Sunday???
