So the 14 year old SD has been living with us for two months, now please tell me if I am wrong but first let me explain. She has no chores except to clean her room and she never does it, but yet my husband gives her her allowance every Friday anyways. On top of that the rule is she can spend the night or have one friend spend the night one time a school week as a way to get her adjusted to staying home alone in the am since both me and my husband work.

I am so sick of it all, For the past 5 years we have had to deal with BM crap, she is constantly changing custody days, or sending the kids over with orders from her.

Once again the BM has doubled up weekends (with us) for the kids so she can swap her weekends YET AGAIN. We had them last weekend and therefore should have them every second weekend. But no she sent a text to SS13 telling him to tell hubby they are staying again this weekend.

}:) I am so mad my sd6 last week was burning stuff on her light bulb. I started smelling something burning. i go up stairs and it is smoking. she got in a lot of trouble we took her light out of her room and took toys away. and all the things we had plan that week. we gave her light back to her the next day. and today she did the same thing. what can we do to make her not do this or even think of something like that. we explained last time what could happen, the house burning down, family can get hurt, all of her stuff would be gone, wouldnt have a place to live.

I need people's thoughts on this asap! here is my dilemma. I am 31 weeks pregnant. I have an 8 year old stepson who is over the moon about this baby and cannot wait for this baby to arrive. (his first sibling) His psycho mother has created quite the situation (as usual! feel free to refer to other blogs I have written for a broader background). Anyway, We got an email saying that the BM is taking my SS out of state (to Disney World) for 2 weeks. Starting March 23rd-April 7th. I am due to have this baby on March 27th.

So I decided that I would be the adult and not freak out when the future skids come over for the weekend. After all, the middle one called and checked to see how I was feeling when I was sick last week. I gave her the benefit of the doubt yet again. He goes to pick the girls up and she said "I'm so glad your better now I don't have to stay with memaw (her BMs mother.) Okay, well....I'll be optimistic. We take her to dinner and then out for icecream and hot chocolate. All she did was complain complain complain....I told her three times it was cold outside.

I just found out that my soon to be ex sister in law's sister and her bf are have a baby. They are basic white trash people who live off her child support and live with her mom. He job hopes when he feels like working and they party all the time. They have a several snakes that they let sleep with them every night. I not against pet snakes but to sleep with them? :O

Plus they are both fat and ugly. I told my dh that she is going to have another baby but this is his first. He said "they are 2 people that should not reproduce!

I guess this is how i do this....

My husband and I have been married for 3 years this June. I have one daughter from a previous relationship and my husband has 4 children who primarily live with his ex-wife and her new husband. My daughter's BF is referred to as a 'sperm donor' because that is the extent of his involvement in her life. My DH has naturally taken the role of her father and does an awesome job 90% of the time; I do find him favoring his children when they visit and sometimes I feel as though my daughter gets the short end of the stick occasionally.

Let me count the ways I can't stand our current (and soon to be no longer) roommate. First off I'd like to say that I honestly don't mind the guy but I'm just like GET. OUT. OF. OUR. HOUSE. NOW.

Is that normal? There was a time when I used to feel for my sd(17) when she was hurt etc.

Step Parent Alienation Syndrome - LOL!

It's when DH, BM and the skids play on their merry go round of dysfunction and expect you to hop on and ride with them...

....instead you are left standing there thinking "WTF?"

LMAO, I've been on that ride for 10 years....I've FINALLY learned!
