Confused

mom_STEPMOM's picture

I'm just wondering if I am over reacting. I have a SD that is 17, she has been working off and on since she was 16. I am a little hurt that she has never thought about me in the sense of taking me to a movie or just buying me something just because she thought of me. Just until she started working I would always take her shopping, buy her nice purses, take her to the movies, etc.....I had a conversation with her this afternoon, I commented on her not buying me anything when she went to the mall and she said well you have everything with an attitude.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

I am soooo upset right now, I can't see straight!! Everything has been pretty much calm regarding how my DBF has been spending Sundays with his BD's and spending Saturday's with me and my son. Well, last night one his Daughter's calls and tells him that she wants him to take her to a book fair today. I don't have a problem with switching days as long as I have notice. I've already made plans for us to go bowling and then go out to eat today. DBF tells me we can go earlier so he can still take daughter out.

Alarm went off in my head

Took the 5 little darlings out for dinner and a movie tonight. Had a great time. Saw Spiderwick, it's pretty good by the way. But you know when you get kids in a comfortable setting, like riding in the car shotgun they say the darndest things. We were all talking on the way home and SS11 says, "My cousin and her friends do drugs." I was like WHAT!! He says "my cousin does drugs." Mind you cousin is about 11 or 12 too??? This cousin is on BM side of the family. Cousins dad is a known user, and so is SS11 BM. When I say drugs I mean pot and possibly others but weed for sure.

Another Ultimatum

I am becming the Queen of Ultimatums because, dammit, that's the only way I can get anything done around here.

SD24 was kicked out two months ago now for bad behavior (see earlier posts), and it's clear that she wants her sticky fingers to remain in our family and home life. For starters, she has not filed a change-of-address with the USPS, because picking up her mail is another excuse for her to drop by. I told DH that he had one week to either get her to fill out the form, or do it himself. If it wasn't done, I'd get rid of the mail.

Guilt

Colorado Girl's picture

So I've been thinking about guilt. I was reading another post regarding a DH that parents "by guilt". You know how that goes, he feels guilty about the divorce so he gives his child(ren) whatever they want. Then another post was about a BM who overcompensates in insignificant areas of the child's life because she feels guilty about being inadequate in other aspects of her parenting. Or like the skids who won't hug their stepmom in front of their (bio)mom because of their own guilt of being disloyal.Yadda, yadda, yadda.
