Hi, all....
Thanks so much everyone for all of your input/suggestions/common experiences regarding my past week with the nasty adult SDs. I found some time to finally read many of YOUR blogs, too, and it's uncanny how much we all have in common and how much we've "survived"!!
from a much needed adult getaway. DH and I had so much fun with our friends on our trip. So, we get back on Sunday and on Monday guess who pulls in the drive. The BM!!! ARRRGH!!!! Skids run out to her and whatever. Anyway, SD comes in the house and says my mom wants to know why you didn't ask her to keep us when ya'll were gone this weekend? My response was everytime we've asked her before she always had an excuse. SD says mom said she would have taken off work. I say well we didn't know that because BM never has in the past. SD smarts off and says well now you know.
SS3 is potty trained, bm hasnt seen them for a week so it gave me the perfect amount of time to devote to that!! I'm so happy, one down one to go!!
So I had decided that I would heed all the advice that I have been given and just remove myself from the situation.
Lawyers, non step parents etc. all say to just stay out of it and let DH deal with all issues pertaining to SD.
How can you do that and be a mom? Aren't we as step moms supposed to love our step kids just like we would our own? Then if you love a child how can you be asked to put them out of your mind?
Well, I can't. Sorry but I fail at this!!!
Ok, not really step related but I need some serious help. My DH is turning 40 next week. He's working that day and that evening, usually doesn't work evenings but his restaurant hosts a religious youth group meeting on Tuesday evenings in the summer. So I feel bad and want to do something for him. His restaurant isn't doing great (what is in this economy!), he's having a milestone birthday, and his kids are with BM that week...Poor DH!
Thanks all of your posts, many of you are not the first ones to say its DH not helping the situation. This man is so in denial sometimes I think to myself is this man really this oblivious.For example I found a 3pack of condoms in her book bag with one missing and when I told him his response was maybe she gave one to someone, which may be true but I doubt it, I am amazed at some of his ridiculous responses. As if no no not my daughter(s) We are going back into counseling next week and the problem is he will turn this all around on me I know he will. God forbid it be HIS parenting skills.
I think h@ll might have finally frozen over...or is about to anyway....maybe! Let me explain
We go every weekend out to the cottage.
This past weekend SD19 had some friends coming down from university and they were going to stay at her friends parents house. SD was going back with them yesterday to go to a high school prom with someone she met while she was away last year. (cradle robber LOL) So now it gets interesting
Hi, all...
I just joined this a few days ago, and it has CHANGED MY LIFE.
I am so glad I found this place and have had the chance to learn so much in just a FEW DAYS from all OUR VENTING and helping out.
I really SNAPPED last night (FINALLY)....I am sick of wimpy DH, overbearing, bitchy Adult SDs, and I just let it all rip (til 2:00 am, I believe...)I am SICK of being pushed around, being expected to "understand" and compromise my OWN feeling and PHYSICAL HEALTH, at this point, and I just let everyone know NO MAS!!!
So my SD5 (6 in a month) got caught...
SD5 has hair that starts getting stringy as it grows longer. She drives me crazy with it because it gets in her face and I'm forever brushing food from her strands. Yes, food. and really, she looks SOOO adorable with a short little haircut.
