ss4 just called me,(im away for a week going to school for my job) and would not let me get off the phone. we talked for 20min about tball, how he was good today, etc...
How do you embark on becoming a guilt parent? The sound of it sounds like a relationship gone bad.... lawddd ..... How do one live with themselves as a guilt parent? Is this where you justify (there's that word again, justify) your child's wrong doing? Is it a step parent thing or is it something that anyone could fall snare too? Feedback please!
I know there's a lot of entitlement out there. But I wonder how many of you deal with children that also tread a fine line between having little self esteem yet also possessing narcissistic traits? SD here is a really beautiful girl with very low self esteem. She picks herself apart! But, she also tends to pick others apart to make herself feel better. She sometimes says inappropriate things, like, "I'm going to a meeting with the smart kids." I call her on it and then she feels bad.
My sd is most likely not going back East to be with her mother after the summer. My ex needs to alter his agreement to have her now pay for child support, expenses, and transportation for visitation. The kicker is that she is presently unemployed. He is saying that he doesn't need an attorney? I suggest that he does? Please advise- and by the way, can anyone recommend an attorney in Dallas who's fees aren't outrageous?
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.
