My stepchildren and insanity.

BettyD's picture

I have been stepparenting for 10 long tiring years. My step daughter would call me the evil step mother. And of late so would my step son. You see I have been the parent. Their BM has checked in and checked out..mostly out for the last ten years. I think during the last ten years she may have spent a total of 2 weeks with her children. And 9 days of that was this last summer. I have watched this mother abandon her children, not once but over and over again. I watch her tell them how rotten we are the BD and I. We have lied to them. But where has she been.

A great line

I thank you ladies and Steve. In return, I shall leave this great line from one of my favorite shows. Hope everyone has a drama free weekend.

Soap. Jessica is explaining life to her young son Billy.

"You see Billy, life gives you beans. There are good beans and bad beans... why, if Juan Valdez had our beans, he would have shot his donkey and burned down the mountain."

The Honeymoon is over :(

We are married and back from holidays...back to work and everything aaugh! Oh well the real world was waiting for us...
I noticed that I let the situation with SD slip because we were happy and wanted it to be about us for awhile....well thats over. She is back to her snotty, disrespectful self and I told my DH that its over. I cracked on her and him and told them I was so sick of it. I don't allow my children to act like that and she isn't going to either.
He doesn't seem to be agreeing with me...I told him "same rules" or we would have to make other arrangements.

An update for my dear Friends.

Darkness is out of her mind and I'm offically done. Like we didn't have enough drama 2 weeks ago with the letter I wrote and the aftermath. Last night was the topper. You're not going to believe this.

Yesterday, DK e-mails BF's sister to complain. Sis blasted her. Dk calls here last night on a complete tiraid. It began with 'How often do you talk to your sister & Mother. (like it's any of her F$#king business). Than she starts going off about the child support. They srceamed over that for awhile. Next up was that we are both Alcoholics and need God & help.

OK...apparently there has been an alien abduction...

SD is still helping around the house and even politely asked me if I would mind picking up her son from daycare tomorrow and watching him for about 2 hours while she and her dad are out. When I said "Yes, because you have been helping out around here," she said "Well, I thought it was about time for me to do my share."

I feel for Alec Baldwin but

I totally disagree with the kind of language he used to communicate to his daughter. We all say awful and regrettable things when we are mad and he has sincerely apologised for the tirade towards his daughter. I also feel very sorry towards his daughter Ireland and that's why I'm getting so mad because innocent kids like her are the ones bearing the brunt of heated custody disputes. But does anyone stop to think what led Alec to this outburst?

Never dealt with an ex until now

I am remarried for the third time and my two previous marriages did not have any children prior to me. Now the man I married has a 4 year old daughter whom I have grown to love and enjoy for the past year that we have been together and married. The issue is her bm.. She was living out of state when me and dh got married but recently moved back here so custody could be shared more equally.

Uncooperative BM

This is my 1st time...so Hi. I am going nuts with our court system and the lack of support that SM's get. My fiance & I share custody with his ex (1st, 3rd & 5th Thursday & every Friday to Monday morning). I quit my job to be a stay at home mom so we could blend our families together (I have 2 children from my 1st marriage). My fiance has told her numerous times to communicate with me when it comes to SD's schedule and she refused to do so, yet she has no problem using us when its going to work out good for her and her schedule.
