My wife and I have her kids half the time. Unfortunately, we have her kids before and after school bevause we are both teachers and her ex wirks longer hours. They get dropped off at 730 until 8 and they are so annoying. I time it so I eat my breakfast before they arrive and time it so I can go shave when they walk in. They come in super loud (10 and 15). We have 6 cats and they have to do this super annoying cat baby talk. My wife does it too but she isnt so loud and obnoxios about it. I came out at 740 and left at 755. I heard at least 12 yells of "mom," in that time. Her 10 yea
I am truly living the sweet life, my friends.
Did I ever tell y'all that I got to meet StepUltimate? She was in my area in October and it was so wonderful to meet this amazing woman face to face. We've had the pleasure of supporting each other through some tough relationships with narcissistic spouses. She's also my kitten buddy because we each adopted a pair of kittens in the last couple of years. Even better news is I'll be visiting her in her area next spring! Yay!!
Okay this is totally off topic, but I don't want to post on any of my local FB pages looking for advice and someone steal my idea. LOL
SS13 got in a fight at school. This happened a couple of years ago. Apparently (the principal called) a kid walked up to him in the bus line and hit him, so he hit back and teachers broke it up. Both are suspended for two days. Of course, it's our week, which means he's now home with us all day.
DH confronted him about it and SS got angry and said if someone crosses him or upsets him, he'll always fight back. He's been surly and uncommunicative.
Tonight Demon15 had a virtual counseling appt. She was in her room and I walked past and could clearly hear her talking to her counselor saying "I have like 4 friends, I just don't like them very much and I just use them all for different things. One gives me rides and takes me shopping, another tells me things. I just use them, I'm a user! I don't really like people". What in the actual F is wrong with this girl?? Then in the next breath she told the counselor "we match, you have red on and I have green on.
I'm 6 months in with my adult SS living in my home. He spends all his time lounging in his bathrobe playing video games every day, all day, and doesn't leave the house. He works a maximum of 20 hours per week and spends the rest of his time in my tiny, one bathroom, expensive apartment doing absolutely NOTHING but taking up my space, resources and privacy. My husband refuses to move him out... and as a result my marriage is hanging on by a thread.
BM's home state court records are accessible to the public so I decided to try searching today since I had not yet this week to see if that would give us more insight on to what is going on at BMs. Yep, Stepdad filed to divorce BM on 12/10/24. On one hand it is upsetting because at least with BM being married there was not men coming in and out of SD's life (for the most part, since we already knew she cheated on him while married at least a few years ago).
I just have to say, I can't get over his lie about working this women. He lied and I can't stop hurting. No matter what I tell myself I don't know how . Just venting.
The holiday anxiety surrounding skids is starting to set in. Demon15 came last night and although honestly she has been less demonic than usual and actually pretty normal, I still dread our custody weeks. I have zero interest in these kids being here.
And the stirring has started in steplife world. SD15 has not been over since we saw her briefly on Thanksgiving. Well this weekend coming is her weekend to come so we shall see! I know for sure she will be over on Christmas Eve to collect her gifts ( DH family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve) and of course BM has already made plans for SD to grace us with her presence on Christmas Eve .
