How I learned to be SO nice...

Moon Child Step Mom's picture

Two delicate flowers of Southern womanhood, one from Georgia and the other from Alabama, were conversing on the porch swing of a large white-pillared mansion.

The Georgia peach said, "When my first child was born, my husband built this beautiful mansion for me." The lady from Alabama commented,
"Well, isn't that nice??"

The first woman continued "When my second child was born, my husband bought me that fine Cadillac you see parked in the drive." Again, the belle from Alabama commented, "Well, isn't that nice??"

how is this my fault?

My husband's boss just put a moratorium on vacation starting August 1st today. We get my stepsons for 1 week every summer & I have been on DH about taking off & he has never checked. I work for a small company & my boss is funny about how many people can be off at once, well my boss has the majority of July off & when he is not gone the owner is in town.

SD writing off DH?

DH and I went to our therapy session yesterday morning. As expected, SD21 didn't show up.

We spent our hour discussing the situation. The therapy sessions (4 total) were helpful in allowing us to talk about our frustrations, but not very helpful int he way of feedback from the therapist, so we've decided that yesterday was going to be our last day.

You know what? I'm thinking to heck with it.

Yep... I didn't take everyone's advice and run. I was pretty sure this would be a short term thing. Hell, I still don't know how long term this is going to turn out to be.

I tried to make the best of it. Husband has been making more of an effort with me lately - and I haven't worried so much about the kid. Let my gaurd down and just decided that I would be comfortable in my house - but with a kid there. I wasn't going to worry about it.

She went home for the weekend with her mother and there is a whole list of things that I said/did wrong...

Please help!
