Sorry I've been MIA dealing with SS5 and his most recent antics..He has been hitting/biting/kicking

mrsparks's picture

The teacher at his new school and at his daycare.
He has been suspended from daycare twice already since Sept.
It was requested that he seek psychological evaluation and a full physical from his pediatrician. The teacher at school thought that he may have an impacted bowel.
He has been pooping and peeing his pants on a daily basis..
When we have him on the weekends he has night terrors and begs my husband to sleep with him.

The skids will be here in a few hours and I am begining to feel ill (well I already have the flu) but I just don't have the strength for the conflict that will take place this weekend, is it just me or am I the only one tired of the fighting, lieing, disrespect and being treated like a piece of Sh*#!!!! I know it is bad to feel like this, but I just hate these weekends that no matter how nice you are or what you do for them nothing is good enough!!!

Where did the term STEP PARENT come from anyway?

invisiblestepmom's picture

Seriously where did that term STEP PARENT come from? I mean is it the term for parent who steps up, when no one else will? Is it the term for paretn who gets stepped on? Is it the term for parent who feels like they are stepping on others toes if they get involved?
Stepping IN?
Stepping ON?
Being Stepped on?
Stepping out? - that is the option I would often like to do!

Sometimes I wish!!

I some times wish I was my SS's bio mom, and my husband wishes it too, we both (and I know how wrong this sounds)wish that some times we could say we were widowed instead of divorced!! It would be a hell of alot easier to raise children without a useless other parent meddling with our blended family!!!

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF BM RESENTS HER BIOCHILD?????????

I am beginning to wonder and feel that BM resents SD4. Not that BM doesn't love her, but that she has a resentment towards SD. I know she has resentment towards myself and DH, but I think it runs downhill to SD. The little things like not taking SD to the doctor until really sick, waiting until she is hospitalized to say "ah our little SD is in hospital from pneumonia". UGH! Well, that's not a little thing. We told BM to take SD to doctor for over a month and she didn't! Or making SD wear jeans and clothes that are too small? SD's jeans were so tight that they would hardly button.

How to tell your skid hates you

I saw this article by Rae Anna Blake, and it's so good I thought it worth linking to http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/853313/ten_way_to_tell_if_your_...)

Very funny, but kinda true - you can see where sometimes all re relationships between bio & step parents could break down because of what the skids are saying & doing.

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone on this site has a nice halloween weekend with their families, kids and skids. I am off to nap in a cool dark room to hopefully dull this migraine that I have then preapre lots of treats for Tomorrow's festivities. We will be tailgating in costume for an Iowa game at my brothers place, then the men are off tot he game, while the ladies drink and be merry but not too much since we have to be able to take our kids all trick or treating later, then all have a sleepover with the kiddos.

Finally a place to talk!!!

I just found this place and I believe this is a God send. Please Don't get me wrong I love my SS's but they are driving me crazy!!! I know some of it is they are at the wonderful age of 12 and 14, but.... AAARRRGGGGGG!!!!!! I want them to go and live with their mother and let her deal with some of the mess she has created!! the oldest boy has been living with her for almost a year now, and I want the other to go too.

Vent (you have been warned!) Bloody BM!

Why is it that BM onyl ever does the minimum for SS10? As far as I can tell all she spends money on is food (though often phones begging for more money as there's none in the house apparently). SS comes over to us and is full of tales about not being allowed to watch TV, play with his Wii because she's on the sofa with the TV on all day - we know she all but ignores him when he's there because SS has told us & OH saw it when he lived there.

BM didn't show up to P/T conference

Here is another action that speaks louder than her words. She didn't show up to ss5 p/t conference. It doesn't really surprise me, but I made sure dh reminded her just in case she had forgotten. It's crazy to me that she says she wants to be involved and wants to know everything, but doesn't really make an effort. If she didn't go I would have like to just to hear from the teacher herself what my ss needs. He is actually doing pretty good in school. He is a young 5y/o in kindergarten but the teacher says that he is actually pretty smart. He just has a really short attention span.
