So over a month ago SO told me about some kid SS20 plays online gaming with (no idea who this kid is) was coming up and going to stay at our house for a few days.. I asked dates etc SO didn't know just the end of the month. This is the one and only time I've heard about it.. so never crossed my brain again.

Driving home at 8pm from a hair appointment last night I asked what the parking situation in our driveway was and he answered with... not sure what's going on out there because SS20 and friend went to airport to pick online gaming friend. Now I'm pissed.

Whats the plan Stan

ok, so I need some specific advice:

SD17

Powersulk has been a major truant, with some knarly grades in important classes. The reason, she states is that she has been having migrains, fatigue and nausea.

Today, Husband related to me that she would be completing her senior year online.

I asked "so how is that supposed to go, and you know she HAS to graduate".

He told me that he doesnt really know but was assured that she would walk with her class. She had it all worked out with a counselor.

SO GLAD I didn't answer the phone

SD62 called this morning, wanted $40, allegedly for cat food and litter.  DH 86 said no but he'd have it tomorrow when he gets his allowance.  Flash forward to this afternoon when her daughter M, called me.  I decided not to answer so she called DH.  She was incensed because SD62 showed up in an incoherent form at her brother, K's work.  K is manager of an upscale restaurant.  She was asking for the wrong name, her brother, T, who lives out of town.  She wanted $60.  Apparently it was a bad situation and security escorted her out.  She sped off, hitting an officer's car.  The police were in

Our lives out in the open!

The one thing ( out on many) reasons why I do not being in blender family is because for some reason OUR lives and business is always aired out to everyone by SD14 , MIL and SIL. Some how BM gets word about our lives, purchases, trips and everything which she uses against DH anytime she can. DH did stop sharing a lot of information related to that to SD because it doesn't concern her yet some how SD 14 still knows our business! We recently went out of town .

Why does everything lead to DH bringing up my issues with his family?

I am so fed up with DH.  If he has a question for me or if we disagree about doggone anything, he'll bring up his family and my issues with them up.  If I disagree with something, it's "you think you know everything just like you do with my family."  This morning I came out of the bedroom to get my lunch ready for work and he got an email that referenced me and he started yelling, "What is this?"  I said, "What is THIS? and why are you yelling?

Eavesdropping, Chocolate and Moods

So, apparently, SS13 has been listening in on conversations. Things have been difficult for me lately. A lot of work stress and I'm trying to process a lot of emotions around my grandmother's death. DH and I had a bit of an argument Saturday night -- no yelling or anything, and we talked some things out.

I haven't been super fun to be around and despite my efforts, I've been less cheerful and have occasionally been short. SS has noticed. DH told him I'm dealing with grief and this is normal.

Back story....i married a man who has 4 kids i had one of my own. Great father sweet husband. On the other hand His mother has blamed me for evrything in his life from the kids behaviour to the relatioship they share to the divorce. Any time anything went wrong it was me. If we left a party early it had to be beacuse i wanted to leave. Has talked ish about me in the same room. Has called me Lilith (from the bible) just down right horrible to me from before i was pregnant, through my pragnanacy and after the birth. She asked to speak to DH and myself.

New here but need SM advice please!

Step mom to 4 SK (3 SD 14 11 9 SS 7) with a HCBM. I hope someone can relate but i am loosing it. They are little spys for thier mom. They secretly will be on Facetime with her for hours while me and DH are clueless cuz we are busy doing house hold things. Its strange to me. The kids will stand outside of my bedroom door to listen to our private conversations. They record things around the home. The will shush each other if they start to speak about things in moms home. They also take things out my BS (4) bedroom such as underhwear, clothes, socks etc for thiere little brother.

Annnndddd this is EXACTLY why I disengaged

Dogmom1321's picture

Been disengaged from SD13 for about 3 years now. Sometimes DH makes snide comments like "I know you guys (me and SD) don't talk." or "I know you don't have much of a relationship." etc. So I think sometimes it definitely bothers DH that I am staying disengaged. 

Well, SD13 was here all weekend with no plans so DH had the wonderful idea of making us all go grocery shopping and do a CostCo run together Sunday morning... to feed his "one big happy family" fantasy. Literally, the ENTIRE time SD13 has something negative to say. 

SD: "_____ doesn't like me" referring to DS3.
