In the 7 mos of being a step parent, many things have gone through my mind. Such has wth and wtf..... Its alot to wrap your mind around dealing with senseless things. I have never encountered just non empathetic, sympathetic, disrespectful, self centered, lazy, step children. The sad part is that most of the step children have had no solid foundation set for them no direction no guidance given. Basically they were allowed to behave in a manner that is acceptable at home but unacceptable in society.
BM is having a 4th of July party. DH is letting her take the girls even though it's his weekend. The girls are excited because all their friends are gonna be there. I'm excited for them. My boys are going to be at their dad's house. I inquired to DH last night what we could plan because I had a couple of invitations from some different friends.
DH said that he wanted to go over to his ex's so he can "see his girls". :?
Today I realized that Steptalk has changed my life in several ways. I will be ONLY focusing on a negative one that is related to my realization from today.
Steptalk provides a constant reminder of the “stepparenting” world and issues that have changed my perception for the world.
For instance, I went to the store the other day, and saw a dad with a daughter, she was probably about 9 years old, she was the biggest BRAT, she was whining; their conversation went kinda like this:
ME -to Zippy16.5.
I am ruining his summer }:)
I am off for a few weeks this summer catching up with home improvements. Zippy out of school and for the past two summers I have lived through:
Zippy's summer hours -2pm-11:30pm (wakes up at 2pm)
Zippy laying like a lazy lion on the living room couch eating bowl after bowl of food watching tv
Zippy, then sauntering downstairs around 4pm to video game his brains out until bed
Repeat day after day for two years-BUT NOT THIS YEAR
So yesterday i blogged that BM was quiet and I felt like something was going to come up.
I was right - again. SHE (BM) is so dang predictable. DH and BM had already agreed a month ago on his summer visit dates. 2.5 weeks in June 2.5 in July. Plus his normal EOW visits every other weekend as the court order states.
So after we take her back home on Sunday - she waits until yesterday afternoon to send him a text message stating SD can not come back in July due to dance camp going the rest of the summer.
So far I have not had major problems with SS as far as talking back,etc...he does do the "droopy" stuff like Crayon's ss..making weird noises and faces,etc..but as far as being fresh..etc..he is good.
Hi All my new friends! I have been so depressed lately that I have not had the courage to blog as I fear a tirade of venting will come out. I am at my wits end with SD17. She is a complete little baggage and is making my life miserable. BD10 had a birthday sleep over this weekend with two little friends and SD17 totally dominated the whole event. She then turned against BD10 and her friends and kept coming to complain to me. We made pizza's for supper and she hoarded (froze, but hid away)(without asking)a pizza to give to her bf this coming weekend.
I am looking to hear advice, good, bad, ugly about how I should approach this. Was it because I accidentally mentioned her name and you all are named Heather?? Haha
She has recently told me she needs space, and I am a guy, I have issue with that but after thoroughly pissing her off with text messages that she will rarely now answer, I will. I have a new conundrum though. My parents are coming to this new town for the first time and I want them to meet her, the kids, and the dog. What terrible timing. Anymore advice for the ol' Kevin The Man??
So, in the tradition of John, Kate and several members of the the Stalker community ......... On Thursday of last week my Wife decided to finally dish on what has been bothering her for the past few months. This was not a total surprise because I have been picking up on some less than tender body language, looking away from me when I have made attempts at good natured flirting, etc.......
Sad, sad, sad. But, not surprising considering the increasing tension and lack of communication building over the past 3 or so years.
I honor their decision to let the kids stay in their home and John and Kate rotate out on their alternating schedules.
Wow, truly sad.
Everyone hug your spouse tonight and tell your kids/Skids that you love them.
Best regards,
