I told skids that if they didn't pick up after themselves...

Manda's picture

So I told the skids that they have to pick up their belongings before they went to their BM's house or they wouldn't have it when they came home. I even saw things of theirs left out before they left and told them to go through the house again to make sure they didn't miss anything and they both came out and said they didn't see anything. So as I said I would, I threw all the things they left out away! FH doesn't know what I threw out but he knew the rule.

OK, I'm not dead. Thought I'd check in. :)

So here's how it's been:

NO SD FOR OVER A MONTH.

No lie. Not kidding.

SD was supposed to go to uber-luxurious (and expensive) camp...FLIPPED OUT AND WOULDN'T GO THE DAY OF...and I mean REALLY flipped out. She couldn't..."wouldn't go"...she would "rather die"..."not leaving my dad"... "anything but THIS"...."YOU CAN'T MAKE ME"..."You want get rid of me because you think I'm bad " blah blah blah. She is 16 years old. Keep that in mind. Oy.

Night before THE BIG VACATION!

So it's the night before the "vacation" that I don't want to go on. I am so anxious and nervous about going. I get so anxious and high blood pressure when the skids are around anyways that I feel like I'm going to have a heartack being in a place that's out of my element and having to deal with them ALL WEEK LONG!

tricked, i could kill DH!

So today I had a very successful day at work. It was so wonderful (I adore my job). To top it all off, DH was wonderful. He'd had the day off & stayed home because he'd said he wanted a day with just him & BS1. I should've known that after breakfast in the morning he'd be shamed & guilted by MIL into getting them. She's always doing this to us & to be honest, I only complain because a part of me feels like a bad person for fighting stepmotherhood so much. I wish I could just welcome them unconditionally into my home...but I can't & mostly I'm ok with that.

Hi there

mother goose's picture

I just wanted to introduce myself, I am MrsJanet, I have 2 children- son 17 and dtr 13. I was recently married in April to my DH and his 6 yr old son. So we are a blended family. DH has full custody of his son.
My kids are fine, SS is a brat. I have been in his life since he was 3. As he gets older, spends more time with his BM, the meaner he is to me. Which is to be expected, she (BM) is EVIL.... We are in the process of court, 4th continuance cuz BM is noncomplient. But yet she deserves the SS???? Whatever....

THANKS

I Think I Have Become BM - Gasp!

Harleygal's picture

I really think it's happened somehow. Most of you know SD (17) came to live with us last year. That has worked out really well considering the older boyfriend thing and the noise at night they were making. Those issues have been dealt with. So she's with her dad and I now. That makes me a mom figure to her - somewhat.
