So on top of having sd16(almost17) issues....I get to deal with big ass cracked out sister issues. Joy!
Y'all?????? COPS WERE AT MY HOUSE TODAY! Yeah. Multiple cop cars. Multiple cops.
My sis is a GIANT LOSER who can't take care of herself, much less her son. She just GAVE us her son from last Dec. to early this month. Why? Because he couldn't stand being SLAPPED IN THE FACE, NEGLECTED, AND CALLED A "MOTHER-FUCKER" AT BREAKFAST ANYMORE.
So of COURSE we took him in. But then she begged to have him back and swore she "changed".
We just came back from our anniversary cruise .... it was wonderful. We were gone for 5 days to the Cayman Islands and Cozumel. Trip was just wonderful.....
BM is already trying to take away DH's visit for Labor Day. She told him he had the last holiday and should give this one up becuase SD stated she wanted to go with her mom instead of her dad. Well, he politely told her the court order states 1st 3rd and 5th weekends of the month and that he would be exercising his weekend then and bringing the child back as the order states.
I have noticed that so many people around me are getting pregnant. It is wonderful that so many people are blessed with the miracle of a little one. However, I can't help but to fel jealous. I am a great step mom, and I know I would be a great mom, but I feel like I have to wait for a baby of my own. I feel like I get the short end of the stick since I don't get to experience the miracle of pregnancy. There is no real reason why I can't have a baby. I am perfectly healthy, I can afford it, and BM's drama is finally being handled. But I still feel as if having a baby is asking too much.
Well, those Lazy Step Daughter Princesses (both girls are in their twenties) didn't move out like I asked them to. They are still living in my house and annoying me every chance they get. I've been on vacation for a week. Last Saturday was a fun day. The youngest Princess appeared about noon with her boyfriend so she could shower, eat and do whatever, but she was trying to keep a pretty low profile. The oldest Princess was camping with her boyfriend, so she wasn't around, but her things were still in my house.
We are not allowed to talk to the skids unless we email the day before, fine, but we get reamed for not answering her calls this weekend. Ha Ha! Don't like playing by your own rules, huh? FH picks up the kids and you would not believe the crap they are telling us (no prompting - they were upset!) We drove last Monday to SS STB6's school (2.5 hours away) to greet him for his first day at Kindergarten. FH, DD 3 months, and Mumzy79 left at 5 am to be there on time bearing a new stuffed animal and card for SS. He was so excited to see us.
Hi Ya'll,
Things had been looking up for a while here on the home front. I think that was in part to my disengaging for the most part from the sk dynamic. However, last night was kaboom and it all fell apart.
Yesterday started out fine. A nice morning, snuggles in bed with DH, pancakes for everyone. DH had made plans for us all to go to a friend's house at 1 PM.
Stepdaughter's counselor has told her that she is not "opening up" in her sessions with her mom.
SD has told me that she doesn't want to cry in front of her mom and let her know how much she has hurt her.
She has also said that she doesn't trust the fact that she would completely open up and try for a better relationship and that BM wouldn't go back to business as usual, once SD let her in again.
I get all of that. What I don't understand is this....
Mally - I can definitely relate to what your wrote about your BM.
BM has used all of the same sorts of guilt trips, manipulation tactics, pressure, "victim" status to SD over here as you described. From the whole "Do you really want to live with them instead of me??!!" argument down to comparing gifts that we give SD, etc.
HELLO and Welcome to the knock down drag out scream fest we call a sleep over. Yes it happens so often because really we have no reason to say no to our children for wanting someone to stay over. WELL I think next time this SMOM is going to say HELLLLLLL NOOOOOOOO. Madi is a girl who comes over a lot, I love her you don't have to enertain the kids and she is polite. My Skids turn into the wild bunch though everytime she stays the night. I had to BEG them to be quite and stop jumping all over everything. WHO GAVE THESE KIDS CRACK?!.
I am Bachen it this weekend. My lovely bride is on the West coast visiting her family and I am hanging with Max the obnoxious parrot for the weekend. Ahhhhhhhh! Relaxation at its finest. But...... get home soon Honey before I OD on deadliest catch re-runs. Things get a little boring without you here and you are far better conversationalist than Max.
Actually things have been busy this weekend. I took a friend and his daughter to Gettysburg yesterday. It was a fun day.
Today I am vegging with the crab guys and having meaningful conversations with the bird.
