I hate the way this makes me feel.......

BF daughter was gone Friday evening and Saturday at her friends house. She returned home Sunday. She slammed the door two times and called her dad stupid when he made her mad by asking her if she knew where her phone was. She opened the refrigerator 10 times in a 1.5 hr period, got a huge plate of food that she didn't eat more than two bites of, and talked incessantly ( and loudly) during the movie we were watching. Saying really meaningless things or things that made no sense all while rolling around in her dad's lap. Maybe it is the way I was brought up, but it really bothers me.

is it normal to feel like a total outsider in your own home

Disclaimer: Im preggo and my emotions have been running wild these past few days, but please give me some advise on how to make things easier.

I really feel that my husband and his ex are way to close. Though I dont think he would ever want her back, it still just freaks me out a bit.

The ex calls my husband all the time. They do have children together and most of the time it about the children, but a lot of the stuff they discuss is stuff that him and the kids can talk about. The kids are 22 and 12.

I wonder how much we contribute to our own madness...

Last night I couldn't sleep. I had a terrible headache and my nose was stuffy to the point of misery.

I went to the kitchen and contemplated taking Nyquil but thought it best not to because I'd be groggy to the point of not functional by the time I had to get up in 5 hours in order to drop my own children off along with my three stepdaughters at each one of their schools.

How would you all handle this?

We took the kids school shopping (usually a tramatic experience for me) on saturday. I was exceptionally calm about the whole thing, was able to disengage well and didn't feel too put out by the whole thing as would normally happen. I was proud of myself for not letting it get to me and actually enjoying some time with my kids.

I did have this nagging feeling that SD was only there for the shopping and was ready to go home as soon as we were done spending money but I tried to let it go.

Another Woman (update)

OMG!!!! WTF?!?!?! This woman text my fiancé this morning at 7:15am with pictures if her!!! One photo had her in front of a bentley and the other in front of a small airplane. She texted saying that she was doing very well! That her boyfriend (who was not in the pictures) owned these things. and she was only asking him (my fiancé) for a favor to fix something. That his response to her text yesterday was uncalled for. She then insults him by saying, the car is a bentley in case you don't know what one looks like! Like as if my fiancé is an idiot! Dumbass chick! I want to beat her ass now.

Ahhh- gross little SS in the house!!

I have been told by many parents that little boys can be gross. However, when I find my 6 yo SS wiping his snotty nose on things I flip out. I can handle a lot of things in life but boogers are not one of them! Actually what irks me the most is that he is a perfectly healthy little boy who was just too lazy to get off his duff and go blow his nose. The idea that a child is too lazy to walk 6 feet and take care of business just makes me mad.

I was foolish

Foolish to think things would be better. SS10 comes back from his 8 week stay with his Mom. He is two-faced , lazy, and self-entitled as usual. Of course he comes back with hugs and "I love you so much. I missed you so much." I roll with it and return the sentiments (even though that's not the way I feel, but I am hopeful). Mother-in-law comes to visit one day after SS10 gets back. Three days into the visit, MIL mentions that SS10 said we are mean to him because we make him eat fruit. Seriously? Whenever he can get anyone alone he plays a whiny victim.

Step Parent vs. Bio Parent Thing

I have to wonder if this is part of normal parenting or if I am feeling this way because I am the "Step" parent.

Friday, SS11 was a wonderful child and I couldn't ask for more harmony in the home, but today is Sunday and I can't stand his attitude, mannerisms or snide remarks. Today he got hot sauce in his mouth for telling DH "no way I will do it how I want to!" ... from a normally well mannered child this was shocking.
