You made it through Christmas as a step parent! Be proud of yourself.

Hope all STalkers had the merriest Christmas possible.

I left town and left DH & skids behind. Merry Christmas to me! The 45 min ride home from the airport reminded me why I left.

I really dislike these kids and Im happy with my decision to be gone, to not buy them any gifts or get wrapped up in DHs get them everything on their list+ more...it's Christmas! He spent at least $2000 maybe even $3000 JUST ON THE SKIDS. We have neices, nephews and my kids too. I spent about $200 per kid, i have 2 adult bios. When I went out to see my son, I spent a bit more buying him things for his apartment I knew a young man would not bother buying for himself lol. Im going to give my older one some cash when he comes to visit in January. He's struggling a little. Why should my hard working kids get the short end of the stick over entitled skids. Do they really need all that designer perfume, make up $160 headphones...I could go on and on
