Mally's Blog, and Is anyone else in this situation? BM "is in pain"...

Stick's picture

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.

Feeling in the way of family reunion

The mother of my husbands children was his high school sweet heart she has been out of the picture for about eight years, but I still feel in the way. His daughter wants them back together and he says he doesn't go back. But his daughter manipulates every situation to get his attention. Her and her brother had a spat approx 2 weeks ago, he is playing football, but she couldn't try out for volleyball because her foot (the one she walks on normally so long as daddy isn't around) hurts.

My BF's Son/SS told my son and I to be quiet!!

I have to vent about this because it's still something that is NOT sitting to well with me. On a weekend that BF had his boys (SS12 and SS6) we were all going to the gokarts and while we were getting out of the car, BM called SS12's cellphone to speak with her boys. Now, we were all laughing and joking when she called talking about something on their level and out of no where, SS12 goes, "Shhhhhhh" Finger against his lips and all...

It has been, sigh... my DH's little brother is getting married in Oct. and his barchelor party is tonight, so my MIL and one of my SIL came to town with their husbands to hang out, the kicker is of course that since they live in smaller cities and we in the big city they wanted to go shoping and I have the skids with me, fun!
Before I knew SIL was coming I thought of making the outing "kid oriented" going to the zoo or the science centre, I knew grandma would enjoy that, and it's so much easier than having to drag an SS6 and SD8 through the f-ing mall all afternoon!

leave or stay

I have been married to my husband for 4yrs. He has two outside kids 6 and 13 and one with me thats three. Its been hell!!! My step daughter mother died when she was two and the family is out to get us. My stepdaughter is bad ass hell she is six and has been kicked out of fours schools. Her aunt called DSS on my husband and I saying that I beat the little girl. Which was later found out to be a lie and DSS dropped the chargers.The aunt is always taken us to court to get custody because my step daughter gets a check every month. My stepson has a different mother and we do not speak.
