Am I being silly?

4ofus's picture

I am supposed to run a 5k on Thursday, a Drumstick dash. Its my first race, and I am pretty excited that I am doing it. Well...I have been getting vibes and comments for a while now(planned this month ago) about not being at his family's early for breakfast that morning. We usually do that every year, and I enjoy it, bu the timing of the run just doesn't allow it. So I asked today if he intended on coming, his response.."guess I can... we got invited for breakfast thurs morning" and,to translate... I don't want to I want to go to breakfast, and you should skip the run and go too.

Yippy Skippy-Sd17's manipulation of H is working in my favor-this time

bewitched's picture

We're having Thanksgiving here. H's mother is in the nursing home 30 miles away, where H's sister lives.

The last time we went to visit H's mother, the nursing home aide was a good looking young man. I saw SD17 making eyes at him. I even commented on it-whereupon I received the "why don't you just die" glare from her.

Suddenly, SD17 is best friends with her cousin, the sisters daughter. Whom she has not spoken to in years. Why?-because sd17's cousin knows this boy.

So now, suddenly, SD17 has a fierce interest in going to H's sisters on Thanksgiving.

Finally!

For a while now I wondered why my husband did not stand up to my s-childrens mom. I finally see why. Apparently if he waits, he will get what he wants anyway.
For example. When he and I started dating, she wanted for me not to meet the children. He said fine. What ended up happening is she was to pick up the kids before our date and she was a few hours late. So, I met the kids.

Good hearted women...and the becoming of something else

Thanksgiving here, Christmas coming. And we're all tied up in knots. We're taking meds for migraines, losing our hair, losing our minds. And crying inside.

We married our H's, moved in with our Bf's, with only the best loving intentions. I, as many of you, thought I could build a lovely home for H and myself, a refuge for H's d's, and still maintain the same home my son was always so glad to come to. In a nutshell, I wanted to provide the home for H & skids I provided my own children in my first marriage.

Losing my hair.....:(

I had major "fall-out" of my hair yesterday, had this happen before, but it was due to the meds. I was on, (depression/anxiety) I stopped all meds. a while ago, and stopped counseling over the summer, was not "jellin" with the counselor to well, so got discoraged. My hair is pretty short, due to the last episode......today, it looks like absolute hell. I don't want to get into detail on what it looks like, alot came out yesterday in the back mostly.

As some of you know, BM is expecting, and in the last few weeks F (and me by proxy) have been called on more and more to pick up BM's slack shuttling SD around, including thanksgiving day. (not our day, not our problem in my book, but F doesn't see it that way)

What would you do?

Ok so me my son and BF go to my moms house sunday to watch the dolphin game and to eat. We are sitting down just talking and watching the game when there is a knock at the door. My sister says come in and it is my EX. Now this is someone that has spit in my face and called me every name in the book. but my mother and step dad and sister let him visit still. Anyway after he came in he went up to my BF shook his hand and introduced hiself and went and greeted my mother and sister and just said hey to me from far. I said NOTHING back.

Grounded to her room...

The step brats "punishment" for bringing home two F's and a D turned out as follows....DH "grounded" her to her room for the weekend with "no electronics"...I guess I should give him some kudo's because he stuck by her grounding to her room (heavy sarcasm intended)... She spent the entire weekend upstaires in her room all right..

Problem is that he "forgot" to remove the electronics from her room and he "forgot" to insure that she spent her time in her room completeing those missing homework assignments that resulted in her poor grades..

So here was her "punishment"....

How did your DH/BF act when BM was with someone new for the first time.

BF and I have been together for 4 years now. BM has never had a full on relationship with anyone since BF and her split (only afew blow ins) until now.
She is with someone who she has just introduced to the skids (last Tuesday), she is talking about wanting to get married, settling down with someone etc... (she told the skids this). Anyway none of this bothers me in fact I'm happy about it cause that just means she wont be trying to cause trouble for us as much anymore (she always settles down alittle when someone new is in her life).

Teach me how to Detach, Disengage-Please!

I don't know how to do it.

I don't know how to not get upset when I find SD13 sleeping in my bed. (Brought that up to H today-waited a whole week to calm down and say something about it to him. Of course, he got mad. I am unreasonable, again).

I don't know how to not get upset when I walk into My living room, and can't even sit down to watch TV because H & his have sprawled all over all available seating.

I don't know how to not get upset when H throws eggshells on the floor because the trash is moved to 2 steps away.
