AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

sorry guys, just needed to yell a bit!!

Idk what to do! and so many people are telling me to get out! but a lot are telling me we can make it through this!

As hard as it was for me...my little foot was put down and no more will I take! Some little lightbulb came on in my head. I realized(with alot of talking to myself) that I DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE THIS WAY! I was choosing to live this way!
Basically my stepdaughter was running my home....NOW I AM!

Hi all, I have a really weird question. Ok, a little background.... My husband and I have 4 kiddos between us. I have bs's 18 and 14, and he has bd's 15 and 12. We have split 50/50 custody of his girls and my boys are with us 100%. We used to have a very active sex life and probably still would except that I refuse to have intimate relations with him when his girls are with us. Ok, sounds stupid I know but this is the reason. We dated for almost 3 years before moving in together. He basically lived with me and my boys during this time except EOW when he had his girls.

A drama-gram is pronounced to rhyme with mammogram and is even more uncomfortable and not nearly as good for your heath. A drama-gram is a text, call or email that interrupts your vacation, fun time or privacy with an "emergency" communication from BM or SKs. Any real emergencies are self-induced, usually.

I know I married my husband because I love him, not because I loved his kids. At the time I liked his kids quite a bit, but not love, especially not the maternal kind that my DH expects me to have with them. I have tried very hard to love them, but it is very difficult to love someone who treats you like you are their maid, who disrespects you and your property and argues with you about practically everything.

Okay, so I have the SS22, who is still in college (hopefully his last year) and has a part time job. His girlfriend comes to the house every weekend to live in his room with him. He has two cars, paid for. DH and I pay the insurance (come to think of it, we need to stop doing that). He's a slob. The only thing he does for our home is put his dishes in the dishwasher, and that's because I had fought with DH about that. He does NOT:
take out trash
mow the lawn
feed the dogs
sweep/mop
clean the toilet bowl he pisses all over

Please read this StepTalkers - it's from Wednesday Martin's blog. An entry from May 2009. Do yourselves a favour and check out her website, she's full of insight .......

"Some stepmothers really are horrible bitches. I know mine was!!

I only joined this site two days ago, yet I've met many kindred spirits. In reading these posts I'm astounded by the SIMILARITY of them all. Does everyone see that?

This has to be one of the strangest things yet that my BF has done involving skids.

I came home from work and my BF was sitting at the kitchen table, using the laptop computer, struggling through filling out online job applications...for over 2 hours. SD16 was sitting on the living room couch, ignoring my BF - not helping, not participating, not a care in the world what my BF was doing.

What's so strange about this? you are wondering...

Hint: My BF already has a full-time job and doesn't need another one...

Any takers???

For a while now, I've been uneasy - I think I'm a Disney SParent!

Signs:

1) We're extremely NCP parents to SD14; deployments and schools + long distance = 16 weeks of visitation in 4 years
2) Half of our visitation is at MIL's house when we're on "vacation" = shopping or other fun stuff every day
3) SD14 has a hero-worship thing going on with me - she thinks I'm super-smart and successful.
4) BM's lifestyle is right at the edge of her income but we live conservatively, so we always have the extra cash to do "fun stuff."
