CRAP! Please help!

I found a poem the other day in my "Chicken Soup for the Parent's Soul" that just brought me to tears! It was about a 16 year old young man, but when he sleeps he is still the little boy his mother remembers...

I laid the book aside, thinking I would create a quick scrapbook page for PITA 16, my SS, to remind him that even though he's a little shit, I do love him, as a last minute Christmas present.

Waiting...

Loghead and I went with Princess yesterday to see the doctor about a possible eating disorder. The doctor has seen over our care for the last 6 years, and he was very concerned for her. Losing 20 pounds in 6 months for such a skinny little thing is NOT GOOD. He ran blood work just to rule out any other health conditions, and we meet with a dietician after Christmas.

Loghead even spoke to Loca Grande about it- that just shows how serious he things this is...

Skid x-mas visit......

So this past weekend, DH had skid visit out at MIL's and since BM is going to have SD for Christmas, we did Christmas for her during visit. It was hideous....

So, we get to MIL's and the normal skid visit b.s. happens.... SD clings onto DH like a leach hurts his already hurting back by hanging all over him, skid "sits pretty" in her highchair, interupts everyone while they are trying to talk, whines, cries, kicks me underneath the table.....

My marriage is headed for divorce

Not the Evil Stepmom's picture

I'm pretty sure my marriage is headed for a divorce unless I start pretending to like my skids. I tried disengaging but I just got accused of being mean. Really how is it being mean to say nothing at all and just let them be?! We just keep arguing. He won't compromise at all! I think we are going to have to go to counseling and we've only beeen married 6 months! I can't imagine spending the rest of my life like this!

SO, is thinking about terminating his rights

Honestly I don't know what to think of this or how to support him, his exw is threatening all this stuff against him and is trying to build up another abuse case. I understand where he is coming from, his son will not even call him dad anymore and we have talked to cps and lawyers and such pretty much we can get more time with him but we have no control of what she does. It makes me really really sad, I have watched this guy that I love cry for days over this, everytime his son's name or anything concerning him is brought up he tears up, and honestly I want to kill her right now.

MIA BM

We drop SS13 off at BM's every Monday at 7pm. SS13 is on Winter Break now (as well as BM and I) and wanted to stay over at his friend's last night. We tell him that it's up to his mom, since it's technically her night and he has to call and ask. Well, as usual, she won't answer the phone. It's been raining and flooding here for the last three days, so neither one of us are keen on dropping the kid at BM's house when she isn't even there, so we let him go ahead and stay at his friend's house, with messages left to that effect on her house and cell phones.

Dreading SD coming home...

SD13 has strep throat, so we have to bring her home a day early from her mother's to take her to the doctor. She is already pitching a fit. We would love to let her mother take her to the doctor, but she would never get off her couch to do it. So we're going to be the bad guys. I would not mind letting her suffer if that's what she wanted for an extra day, but my parents are coming from out of town for the holidays, and I want her to be out of the contagious stage. I'm sure I'm in for tears and accusations about how we just don't want her to see her mom.

A whole new world

I'm new to Step Talk and fairly new to stepping. My husband and I have a blended family - I have two boys (9 and 15) and he has a son who lives with us (10), a daughter who lives with her mom (11), and a daughter who lives on her own (19). When we married, it had been after much discussion about discipline and expectations of our children....I really wanted to do this in a way that was healthy for everyone concerned.

Desperately Seeking Advice. Seems very UNJUST to me!!!

My boyfriend and I were childhood sweethearts. At age 16, my father retired from the service and my family moved to my father hometown. That was 25 years ago and with the help of a social network my childhood crush and I reunited. We dated(again) for a year and now live together. Nice story, eh? Then the reality hit!!! We both have children from a previous. The father of my children and my boyfriend are co-parenting perfectly. However, not the case when it comes to the wifey. Here's where I DESPERATELY need advise.
