I am new to this site. First of in July I got married to a terrific women who has put up with alot of crap. I have three children from a previous marriage. Son 15 son 14 daughter 10. The children live with their BM in another county.

This will be my last entry for about a year or so. I won't be much of a stepmom while I am gone.

I hope that I still have a family to come home to. I hope and pray that I am miraculously able to maintain the healthy relationship that I have with my stepsons in my absence.

More than anything, I hope and pray DH will be okay and that BM does not give him grief as I am not there to protect him.

So, I am at this point feeling very uncomfortable in my own home with my ss here. He is trying to talk to me and I am just ignoring him but he really hurt me by bashing me in front of his mother. He tried telling me the only reason he did it was because he was upset that I did not play video games with him the night before! Am I wrong for feeling the way I do? He got himself into this problem with his grades and now he is trying to say whatever he can to blame it on me. If it was my own child I feel like I would have control on it really fast.

So lots of snow where we are and SD and DH decide to go sledding. I'm home watching the baby, totally fine cuz I'm not a huge fan of sledding. SD9 wants to wear boots that are too small for her and have been for a while. Dad says no wear your other boots. Back and forth back and forth until they are late picking up her friend who's going sledding too. Finally DH says put the right boots on or we're not going at all! Boots are not something to cry about! Especially when you're 9 years old!

My husband is the biggest dick I know sometimes!!!! He has two spoiled little shits and I have three goodhearted children. For Christmas, my family who truth be told are not rich but hardworking people and his hoity toity rich shitheads! Sorry Im venting, bear thru the curse words but I have to get this out!! Ok so this was the first xmas that I finally put my foot down and we went to my parents, As we were leaving for my moms his Mother shows up and invites us WITH TWO DAYS SHORT NOTICE AFTER KNOWING OUR PLANS to XMAS night dinner.

Hi! I love finding this place and cannot beleive that there are others out there having the same problems and issues as I am. So Ill start with this. Im now 31, I decided very long ago I loved children and wanted as many as the Good Lord would give me. I have a nine year old and six year old twins, UNFORTUNATLY FOR ME, Gods plan for me was to raise two more, A ten year old and another six year old.

Luckily I survived Christmas....I swear I don't know how much more of these kids I can take. I have tried OVER AND OVER AND OVER and nothing I can do can satisfy them. BF's eldest daughter who doesn't come and visit anymore because she has to share a room with her sister came over for my Birthday. Her phone needed to be charged and got impatient and was a brat the entire time at the house. She asked BF when they were going home and and he told her at 8:00 like every other time he has the kids. She started chopping at my cake and went and sat in the car doing who knows what.

So we had dinner with sil, her hubby and his 2 girls age 10. Sil is a new stepmom and I feel for her! She doesn't even see what she is getting into! We went to a restaurant his girls had been to many times before. (oh, the dad is non-custodial, btw). First, these girls were so immature- running around the fountain, making noises with their straws, nothing really annoying just silly. S soon as he toldthem to stop, they would. But hen the "daaaaaaadddddy" started....

new to all this and its sad to say that it took almost two years to be within five feet of my stepchildren. its worse that nothing is final. we are in seperate houeses two days out of the week. i read and read to see if anyone else has a compicated stepfamily also to get info. not all of them are with us the oldest has the hardest time and i understand that. i have two kids also that are around the same age and its nuts because i see a VERY BIG difference between them. im not saying im a perfect person but im one that doesnt like to even use the word (HATE).

The moody, whiney, childish SD, that I've grown to know and tolerate is back....oh well...time to go watch Lifetime Movies!
