I was busy doing household stuff (cooking, cleaning, etc) getting ready for company, when SS9 waltzes in and asks me to find some paper for him to draw on. I say to SS9, "I'm really busy right now, but as soon as I'm done I'll get it for you." He then runs to DH and tells him "Daddy, SHE said that she doesn't have time for me and said why can't YOU do it since I'm your child." Notice the QUOTATION marks!!!! Needless to say, I hit the roof.

I have a daughter who is 16, we are very close. Her dad died when she was 9 month old and I raised her for 10 years by myself. When I got married things changed of course, she addapted. Now my skids moved in with us, they are SD16 and SS13. I work full time and have my whole adult life. Finally making enough money to do things and buy things for my daughter. But now with the other two in the house I feel guilty and am made to feel guilty if I want to buy her something or do something with her, if I dont do it or buy his kids something too.

I don't understand and don't know what to do about this situation. We have been married for 4 years. I have a 16yr old daughter and he has a 16 yr old daughter and an 13yr old son. They moved in with us a year ago. Before they moved in he always said to me that his children never did what mine did. Well,Well,Well, was he wrong. They are all normal teenagers and are capable and do the same crap. He doesn't see it. When I say somthing he ALWAYS says what about your daughter. First of all my daughter was raised my way and knows what is acceptable and what is not.

FDH and I are planning our wedding & honey moon and we were trying to figure out the schedule as far as Bm and SD are concerned. SD usually is with us every other week, but we are planning a 2-week honeymoon (It's a pretty involved trip) and so we will have to ask BM to take her two weeks in a row, then we will have her 2 weeks in a row right after that. At least, that was the plan I came up with.

I'm a 36 year ordinary working woman and have been dating my boyfriend for a little over two years. The problem? His 20 year old daughter. Between turning 18 and now, she has gotten eight tattoos, a tounge piercing, belly button piercing and got pregnant on purpose and delivered shortly after graduation. Of course, the boyfriend lasted eight months, she is now again living at home with her father, working less than part-time and is not seeking child support from the boyfriend in hopes that he will take her back.

I was sorting some of the laundry that S-Kids left from the weekend and find a pair of thong panties. My first reaction was of disbelief. I don't know, maybe I'm just becoming prudish as I gracefully age, but 14 seems young for thongs and padded bras. What bothers me is that BM has to be buying these for her! Why do they want to grow up so fast? I try to reason with myself that it's only clothes, and clothes don't make a person, blah, blah, blah.

I can't stand this 14 year old evil bitch. I hate the fact that she is in my house for the summer. It depresses me. I constantly worry about her going into my room and stealing my things. I have moved all the valuable jewelry to my parents house. I leave my makeup at work. I hide money, checkbooks, laptop and other personal belongings. I take a picture with my cell phone of how I left my other personal items each morning before I go to work so I can compare when I get home to make sure they have not been tampered with. I can't stand her.

Okay so at least I'm on day 6 of my 10 days straight with my two SS 13 & 17.. But I have to say it's killing me. My SS17 hasn't been home hardly at all, out with friends so that's been great. My SS13 has been here non stop. I am just going out of my mind having him here every day after work. The kid is just down right rude sometimes and I don't know why. Dispite the fact that I'm on here bitching all the time, to him I'm very very nice and I hold it all in. When I get home from work he BARELY says hi to me. It's like he moves to a different room if I'm in it.

I am thankful for this site....I just found someone who said everything that is on my mind! I feel guilty for disliking my live in boyfriend's children so much. I love him and his family but these two get on my last nerve. The SS is almost 20 and home for the summer from college. I am counting the days til school starts (about 30). He is so lazy and dingy. I have no idea how he made it throught a year of college. When asked to do chores, he does them "half ass". I don't think anyone has ever taught them to do a thing.

... college "move in" day cannot come fast enough for me to have some space away from sd, Princess?!

She is ready to drive me insane. She whines all the time that we never spend time together anymore. She and her bio-mom had a falling out in June, and know SD is telling everyone I'm her ONLY mom. But when she is around, all she does is belittle me or act defiant. Doesn't create a real warm and fuzzy feeling, ya know?
