I'm just so tired...of the constant nagging, the constant drama. My choice to disengage from DH and his 2 y/o has been the only possible option so that I may maintain my sanity. The fact that I think of leaving him every day is testament to the point where our relationship has reached. I AM UNHAPPY. I AM BORED. I CANNOT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME WE'VE EVEN HAD SEXUAL INTERCOURSE! When did our relationship get to this point? Was it in the midst of raising a precocious 7 month old? The burden of juggling both a military and nursing career?
FH thinks I don't want him disciplining my child (BD4). This is not the case. It is true that I am constantly telling him to BACK OFF. However, I would not mind him disciplining her, if everything that comes out of his mouth was not always negative. I told him this weekend that I cannot do this anymore. That yes, maybe I overcompensate for his nasty attitude by going easy on her. That with his child, he has the patience of a Saint, and with my child he has NONE.
We are not sure if we want to pursue this, but I am curious if you all know the laws. so here is the story. DH owed child support 10 years ago, made a verbal agreement with BM to pay direct and she wrote a letter to concerned (legal) parties forgiving him of past due amounts. he paid monthly until SD decided to live with us 4 years ago. BM pays nothing and has gone off the deep end lately. we have apyed the plane tickets to send Sd to BM for Christmas and summer visits only in the interest of the kid having a relationship with her mom.
FH's ex is pregnant again and just quit her job. Why...I don't know because she demands child support every week even before it's due... I would think that you'd keep your job if you can't afford your own bills with your new husband and kid...but then again what do I know! I'll be damned if she goes to court wanting more money from us! She's the one that cheated, got pregnant with another guy's baby, left and had a restraining order against her baby daddy then ended up marrying him a couple months later.
Me and this guy met online we were both married, I was leaving my husband and he was leaving his wife but we needed a friend. We were friends for about a year and then became intimate. With that we decided to move in together and file for divorce. I am completely divorced and his is doing his as to speak where he goes to court tomorrow for the final hearing. He proposed to me last month and all the kids love me and my kids love him. But his oldest daughter do not. She is very disrespectful to me and only would talk to me if I she needs money for anything.
My husband is the SF to my two boys, I am the SM to his two girls. His daughters' respect and obey fine because I've been around them since 4 & 6 yrs old. My boys are 16 & 14 and they met SF around 11 & 13, they have been very disobedient and disrespectful to both of us. I want him to step up to the plate and discipline them and turn them around. He says its my job since they are my sons. This bothers me and it sort of causes me to disrespect him a little. I think its a cop out. Their father is in and out of their lives. Any suggestions?

DH and I have been married for approx 6 months and although we dated for years before getting married and I have tried over and over to accept SD6. I can't. She is needy, whiney, manipulative, MUST get her way. I am completely over it. She is with us a few times a week and everything is daddy, daddy, daddy. I get it - shes 6, her parents got seperated when she was 2 weeks old. She has never lived with them both to know what its normal and what is abnormal. I am tired of people telling me what step moms are supposed to do.
I just wanted to share this info with everyone..
PBS is airing this show about the economic tough times, and why families must cut back on spending. It airs on Wed Sept 9th at 8pm EST. (not sure about the other time zones). We are taping this (or dvring it) and playing it for the skids this coming weekend. Elmo tells how his family is cutting back, no amusement parks, but rather the local park, no movie theaters, but rather a rented dvd.. etc..
I've been on the step-scene for a little over a year now and I really don't have too many expectations as being a step-parent. As a matter of fact, I don't really like being called a parent at all.
I was flung into my current situation after practically living with the father of 3 for almost 2 years prior to an emergency room visit that hurled 3 skids forcefully at me.
