Hi-this is the first time I have posted anything on a site...ever. I was married for 25 years when my marriage ended. I raised two sons who are now 28 and 24. About 7 months after my marriage ended I met a widower with a 9 year-old daughter. Her mom died when she was 4. I fell in love with both of them and 10 months later we all moved in together. That was about 15 months ago. So what's my problem? Hailey is 12 now. She's a very good kid and very loving toward me. I just feel overwhelmed at the responsibility. It's also different because she's a girl. I'm not used to that.
I feel really bad that I don’t seem to get along with my ss. We don't hate each other but have not warmed to each other since I met my partner 2 years ago. I think the main problem is how his bm is bringing him up. Although he is tall for his age (11) he is also about 2 stone overweight - his bm doesn’t encourage him to eat healthily or exercise (she and her partner are overweight too) and my partner struggles to undo all her bad work with only one day a week. He is a very quiet child and I am lucky he is not rude or obnoxious.
The counsellor met my DH and BM before she meets my SS later in the month... so anyways, sounds like it went good, but then DH comes home and says "Guess what, the counsellor told me that I didn't sound like I was good at co-parenting. That I always stuck up for my son, that we should be a united front so that he knows what his place is in the family yadda yadda... HELLO?!?! I've been saying that for 5 years!
Frick Men... I tell you
Ya know, my BF states that he does not like drama, yet when it comes to his lovely daughter, he is so wrapped up!
This morning is an example. My daughters, BD10 and BD8, and SD10 were getting ready for school. As they were walking out the door, I noticed that SD10 had one of my daughter's backpacks. Now, I know that SD10 does not have a backpack of her own, and I would not have said anything, but this was my BD10 backpack. Oh, and SD10 had been giving one of my BD8 back pack a few weeks ago!
My husband bends over backwards to help out with his son and daughter with his first wife. Lately, it has gotten to the point where the ex does not take any accountability for her actions or any real responsibility for her kids. Last weekend was supposed to be her weekend, but my husband took his daughter to a church lock-in on Sat. night. Then, he took her back to her Mom's on Sat. around Noon and bought her lunch on the way over there. Then, he got a call within an hour of dropping his daughter off at her Mom's bcs they were in an argument.
Not looking for advise, none to really receive, just another blog to show how dumb bm REALLY is.
No offense intended to Pac. NWerners but nearly everyone I interface with from up there is incapable of making a decent decision and many struggle with being decent people even to family members. The SpermClan and most of my I-L's have a tenuous grasp on decision making at best.
My wife is in to her third full day of a four day visit with her family.
The I-L drama:
Would I be over stepping my boundaries if I sent SS to school with cookies to share with the class on his Bday? Although we usually get SS every other weekend, SS has been staying with us for the past wk & a 1/2 bc BM said his behavior at school was not good & she didn't know what else to do. SS birthday is this Thursday & last week I told SS I would make him some treats to share with his class on his bday. (I thought it would be fun, since I remember how much I enjoyed my mom sending me to class with cupcakes on my bday.
