I've been on their "vacation" since Saturday and I'm in absolute hell! I've been so miserable that I've cried every night. We are in the north woods WI and it just isn't my cup of tea. I'm not the "Hilton girl" but I know I'm not the "camping girl" either. My FH seems to have thrown out any kind of rules that we had for the skids this week which is pissing me off to no end. His son has been whinning and argumentative all week long and I think it's because of the sugar and soda that FH has let him have.
Hi everyone out there! I have been a stepmom for 3 yrs now. i have 3 SK ages 9, 11, 14. As most of you can realize I am very disrespected in my home, and tonight was bad. my husband has been saying from the start that since I am the one who is here during the day while he is working that I have to use discipline. I have a background in child care development and a 6 yr old child of my own. the 14 yr old has never liked me, and me having had a stepfather growing up have always tried to understand what he is going through. My husband grew up in the normal household with both parents.
OMG, why did I wait so long?.. What the hell was I thinking?
I'm so grateful to him for letting me learn about who I am, what do I want from life, and what kind of partner I need.
In last 10 days I just enjoyed my life and living it just for myself. (ok, I live right by the beach now, so you figure).
With only a few days to go until our vacation to Las Vegas and a peaceful breakfast this morning with MIL that didn't end with her going on and on about what a horrible job I do as a step mom (she actually told me that she's glad DH has me and I'm in their family), I feel myself breathing in a deep sigh of relief. Chances are it won't last too long, but at least I know I've got a good two weeks. Yesterday I got my copy of Stepmonster and I'm just about finished with it.
What should a SS call you? My SS say they should call me by my first name. However their mom is dating a guy and his kids call her stepmom (even though she is far from any kind of mom).
So what should Skids call their "new" parent.
Just wondering?
I recently went to my Dr for my annual check up. She is an excellent Dr and wanted to know how everything was going in my life. I told her of my plans to get married and how he has sons. She asked how that went and I totally vented to her! She suggested that we go through counseling before we get married. Some of the issues I have is how I have no say in the ss's behaviors or actions. I am responsible for watching them and taking caring of them. However, I am not allowed to discipline them in anyway. I will catch them with food and drinks upstairs which is a big NO NO..
Any time I go to the supermarket, I see this guy's face on the front cover of the entertainment/gossip magazines.
His new GF, who is 22, comes off as a very immature person who has had everything handed to her on a silver platter (her dad's the doctor who did Kate's tummy-tuck). She's had a few run-ins with the law.
Just a little vent here off topic. My boss brought his 7 year old daughter into the office today. Cute enough kid and fairly polite but when did "babysitter" become part of my job description? She sat in my office all morning long and did arts and crafts at my desk using my office supplies. She actually said that she gets to use all the stuff because her daddy owns the company. Isn't that sweet? She also said that I didn't really work here and that only the guys (we're in construction) really worked.
Yesterday was a doozy. So I get home first and go to get a load of laundry together. I couldn't find SS12's sleeping shorts either on his bed or in the laundry basket. I look under the bed and there they are. I picked them up and *gross* they're wet. The smell reaking up from them is pee. :sick: I checked his sheets and mattress to see if he had an accident in the night and everything is clean and dry. This means that after I left yesterday morning and before he got dressed he decided to whiz all over his shorts. JOY! This is not an isolated incident.
After reading a post challenging readers to think positive, I decided to do a little investigating on what I like/love most about being a stepmom; hence, I invite all of you to mention ten things that make you happy about your stepmom situation. Some days, thinking this way is impossible; however, today is a day that positivity has entered my mind (for once) and shone a ray of light on the happy times as a stepmom.
My most favorite part of being a stepmom:
1. To hear my two SD's laugh and giggle
2. Getting hugs for no reason, and maybe a peck on the cheek.
