Last night I decided that it was time to talk to FH about SS14 behavior. I've tried to lay low for the past couple of days and it's drive FH crazy. I can talk to him about anything but this. He tends to get very defensive and upset with me.
Anyway, I told him about SS behavior and how it hurts me when he acts like this and when I try and talk to him about it SS is not receptive...bla, bla, bla..
I have two adult skids that have young children. They insist on referring to us as Opa (granddad in Dutch) and 'my name'.
One of the grandchildren has started calling me by my first name now, which bothers me, because I would like to be known as Oma (grandma) and not by my first name.
Even if it's Oma + my first name, it would be fine.
I feel that it not only is improper for a young child to call an elder by their first name only, but it is divisive to only call the grandfather (my husband) Opa , and me by my first name.
I'm telling you guys my struggles one blog at a time lol.....Friday night there was text on our cell phone from the BF saying that "he still calls her name out at night". He is a drunk and probabley was at the time! Its been 3 years now we've been married and every now and then he'll rear his ungly head! I still have to see him in the small town we live in and he is still in the boys lives!
Is it normal and how many of the bloggers still sleep with there kids? Both boys 7 and 10 have there own rooms, but everynight my wife has to go to bed with them in one room, so all 3 of them sleep in one bed in one room. She finds her way to our room sometime late in the night. She also has to either help give them a shower or ends up showering with them. At what age do you start teaching them more independence?
Situation: DH's family decided they wanted him to go to his grand's 1st b-day and that one SIL would pay for HIS ticket. This is behind our backs, probably set in motion by SD who was playing the old heartstrings.
Well, we can't afford to pay to go, money is very tight and we just booked tickets for a few months out to see MY soon to be born grand and see DH's family too. We still don't have the funds for the rest of that trip, i.e rental car, etc.
My W and I have been married for 3 years now. She has 2 boys 10 and 7, I have a son 11 that lives with his BM and comes to our house 2 weekends a month and we have a son together who is 3. My wife is not a communicator when it comes to matters that involve issues with the kids or things of that nature. She has never been able to help me understand the personalities of my step kids or how I should deal with them on certain things. I have ask her for her help on these matters and it has just led to argument.
First, I have to say that I am TOTALLY AGAINST drugs and have made that VERY clear to FH. I'm not saying that I've never tried anything...pot twice but nothing else. I've been around just about everything but haven't given in. So, FH blurted out tonight that he had a problem with coke. It brought me to tears not just because I'm against it, not because I've seen what's it's done to some of my family members but because he couldn't tell me about his past and feel I wouldn't stick by him.
Sure, things are getting better, but now I see that BF is lazing about while I am at work. Baloney sandwiches for dinner. He is asleep when I go home for lunch (9 pm or so) and the kids are still up and running between rooms.
Dishes are not done, stuff on the kitchen table, it just never ends.
Between room-mate and spouse, yeah... that is where I am. I can't complain, but I pay to live there.
Maybe I am just down since it is "Aunt Flo's" visit.
Ok question for everyone out there.. do your skids call you mom or dad even though their not your bio kids?? this is why i ask... my bio daughter calls dh dad, she doesnt remember her bio dad and he has chosen to not be a part of her life dh is the only father she has and remembers always being their for her, so when skids heard her calling dh dad they asked if they could call me mom,
i was shocked and kinda stuck so i just said that will have to be something you and your dad discuss and i'm fine with whatever you guys decide.
She has just left with my step son. I am so excited!
Which is like a 2ND stepson once removed to her.
He is from my ex wife. who had a son from a previous relationship before I was married to her. And he also lives with us.
Anyways...
This day embarks a huge reign of joy in my soul.
They are off to his high school to go get his cap and gown for graduation. And various other things for the day that he graduates.
This day has all kinds of tangential super parental meaning to me.
