I'm just using this space a safe place to let out my rant. Being in lockdown and social distancing means that I'm really missing those coffee moments with my besties where I can let it all out in a safe environment. So steptalk you are now my new bestie.....

I am so sick and tired of hearing how SD is "being good now" or "he is getting better", maybe he is, maybe he isn't I really don't know and forgive me for really not giving a flying fig! 

My instinct tells me that no he is not being good or better he is just being less confrontational because I am out of the equation and that's fine by me. 

My husband is enabler to all of his bad behaviour and he says it's because he's a grown man. My husband is a sucker when it comes to all of his children including our youngest. I don't blame him for it but it really really frustrated me, as I believe when you're a parent there is no room for excuses. He says that it has nothing to do with me but he is so wrong because he doesn't understand that my complaints are nothing to do with darling SD, I really couldn't care less about him at the moment. My complaints are about my husband and his way if parenting, he doesn't understand that one day not so far away our youngest children will also be grown adults and if his way of parenting is to enable problems with excuses then I worry.

But of course as usual, the problem is me because I am a step parent and step parents are only ever moaning because it is about a child that is from their spouses previous life. 

Not sure I've expressed myself properly here or got my full point across, but I feel better now for the rant! Thanks new bestie x
