I have two adult stepdaughters who live with me and a step grand daughter. One SD is almost 21 and the other SD is 24 with the 4 year old SGD. Anyhow, they are making my life miserable and doing all they can to try to get me to move out of my own house. The 24 year old SD has her RN Degree and the younger SD is a CNA. Neither of them work more than approximately 8 hours per month even though they should be working 40 hours a week and have their own place to live. I'm getting really sick of it.
DH and I got into a huge fight today and I nearly left him. He's started saying I am treating them like $h!t again because I barely speak to them. He's trying to make me feel guilty and I am really sick of it. He wants to point the finger at me and tell me how he doesn't like how they are being treated and I said, "what are you talking about? I'm not treating them like anything!" I do not want to give them any ammunition for more of their frickin lies and I told him that also. How is it he can't see how much he put on me?
Today you turn 17. I remember fondly the 15mo old tow headed little guy that helped me chase ducks around the golf course when your Mom and I started the process of making the three of us a family. I am extremely proud of the young man you have worked so hard to become and look forward to your journey to be the man of standing that I am confident you ultimately will be.
I love you and miss you my son.

I'd love some opinions on this.I'd like to know what the Court might be thinking so DH and I can prepare for trial. I'll start with a brief decription, and my thoughts.
BM has been an on and off mess since before I came into the picture 5 years ago. My husband has faught to protect my SD by going to court every year of SD's 5 year life, finally getting primary custody last May.
Just wondering, how do you all handle those times (if at all) when DH/DW is gone for work or whatever during the entire time the skids are visiting? Currently DH and BM both have non traditional jobs where they are gone for a considerable amount of time. BM works 24 hr shifts, and DH is a pilot so he could be gone up to four days. We have the skids 50/50, and there are those times that the skids are with us, but DH is gone for the entire duration of their time home with us. BM is of course, working as well and unavailable to take the kids.
but I just have to say it.. because there is no one else I can say it too... except my mother! haha. I just had family photo's done (kids only)... and it cost me a million dollars (obviously an exaggeration)... but anyways... so I see the proofs and well I just have two of the most gorgeous kids ever... my BS 12 and my BD 1... and then I see the proofs of SS 7.5 and I just don't want any of them because he is just NOT cute and looks like his mother... and needs a hair cut...and man... I know this is mean... But like so I'm thinking... this is costing me a million dollars..
My husband called me today and informed me that when school starts this year, instead of going to after-school care, SS9 will be coming to MY HOUSE b/c the bus stops here. I will get to watch him everyday from around 3:45 p.m. until at least 7 p.m.
No one, DH specifically, asked me if this was okay with me. And surprise, surprise, it's not okay with me at all. The most NOT okay thing about it is that DH and BM discussed it and make a decision that impacts ME and ONLY ME without MY INPUT.
Hello everyone and let me say that i think anyone who takes on other peoples children are heros . Im 23 with no kids and live with my BF who has 3 kids (3,6 and 13) they are with us every other week .
I love reading all the blogs and find it conferting to see that im not alone is these situations .
I have one question for you people who have been stepparents for many years , does it ever get easyer ???
My top things that i dont like abut this is how mutch money kids kost , how crazy the BM´s are and the lack of freedome ...
Look forward to following this site.
My boyfriend and I have been together for over 3 years and we have agreed that we will marry and have our own family. He has two girls 16 and 11. When we argue it seems to be about the kids and my perception of the lack of respect and authority they have for me and/or their dad. More and more the oldest seems to be influencing her dad into things that I have already said no to and to getting her dad out of purchasing certain gifts for me (which are petty but go the fact of her manipulation of him).
