So... things have been getting a bit better here at home with SD. She still expects things to get done, but since I found a place to vent I don't feel as resentful towards her as before. Yesterday was funny, DH has been working late and it has been me and the kids... alone! :jawdrop: I worked until late yesterday and so on the way home I picked up dinner, I don't really like to eat out :sick: , I much prefer to cook, call me crazy... so when the kids, SD10 & BS4, and I are eating dinner she starts with her: "well, I think that you should cook Mexican! I mean, you are Mexican...

it hasnt even been a solid month of my SD being in the temp. group home and already she has made every girl there HATE her! i saw LOL to this! little brat deserves it!

Well, no one said it would be easy to date a guy in a fresh divorce with a child. Especially with my career at the point where it is. Even so, sometimes it gets to me just how much work goes into this relationship. And I catch myself worrying over whether or not I'm getting enough out of it.

So, I haven't been here long and I don't comment much but in my short time here I've noticed that most of the SM's here are either BM's themselves or want to be BM's.

How do you feel about those of us who don't want kids, never have, never will and don't even feel remotely maternal? Are we odd for being in this situation in the first place?

No right or wrong answers, won't get offended. Just being nosy at the old group opinion.

It's amazing how DH and I work so hard to take care of our children and try to have a happy marriage and we get the shitty end of the stick each time. BM, on the other hand, seems to have the best luck in the world. Why?!

It was BM's funeral this morning. We asked my BIL to ask my SS if he wanted my husband at the funeral. My SS's response was "I don't care". My SIL said that my SS is taking the death very hard and has not been eating properly. He says he is not hungry and is only eating because my SIL is forcing him to. My SIl and BIL may have acted wrongly before but I am very grateful for them throughout all this. They have really helped my SS with everything. Even though my DH wants to help, SS is still angry at him. My DH decided to go to the funeral service. He sat at the back.

So got the news that my bioson is going into the AF reserves! He had a very hard time getting into the AF b/c of some student loans that he got behind on when he was laid off. He caught up on the loans and tried the reserves.

Of course this is not good enough for GG.

"We've been SCAMMED by Awesomeson!" "He's supposed to enlist in the regular AF for four years!" "He's only doing this to please that snatch (Awesomeson's current GF)"

So sick of it! We have them for the month on July and I want them to go back to "crazo". It is just too much work. And I don't do much for them, FDH does, but it changes what we would do, what we eat, where we go, our conversations. My house look like kids are there...you know what I mean? It just doesn't stay clean.

The kids are good kids, truthfully I am blessed. They like me and I like them.

Well this is my first blog. I figured after my step daughter broke me yesterday I need to find some sort of support from somewhere. Just to give a little back ground. My boyfriend has a 5 year old daughter. We have been together since she was 2. We are not yet married but have been living together for over 2 years. Just to make things simple I call her my SD. Her mother has recently become a traveling nurse and so SD moved in full time. We use to get her every weekend and now we have her all week and weekend. Since we have had her everything has fallen on me.

My husband returned home from his parents. And left SS there. They were gone for two days. He looked very upset and has not talked to me much. I feel bad because I made SS move out. But I have to think about our kids too. Just because BM gave SS so many issues does not mean I have to suffer for it. My husband said he yelled at SS and said many hurtful things he did not mean to say. He said he made SS cry. And that SS told him to come back here and he'll stay with his grandparents. When I heard this I felt REALLY bad.
