I feel like I'm fighting, After reading that post to myself, I feel like I'm fighting all the time, I feel like I'm backed into a corner and I'm being forcefed EVERything. Here you're expected to do this, you're expected to do that.

"What is she doing for us now, no, Let's look at what she's not doing for us." It's all about them, him, their schedule, his schedule. "why is she not happy to be doing all this for us." And when V-day came I got taken out to dinner with everyone else.

OMG, it never ceases to amaze me how detached he can be. He actually came in Friday night to yell at me for not preparing the bed for ss11. I work all week and teach Group fitness at night. Yeah I work out a lot. but they are not my kids. So he's home - worked out of town Monday Tuesday Wednesday. Home all day Thursday and Friday. He actually came back to say something to me about the brats bed. Opened up his mouth and then stopped. Yes, he stopped. Thankfully, because I was going to have to tell him the way it is. I'm not the maid, nor the chef, nor the nanny.

I've tried to be nice. I've tried to be patient. But I don't know how much longer I can take it! SS25 has no ambition whatsoever. He is lazy, he is a slob, and he doesn't care about anyone but himself. He works part time (no more than 12 hours a week) at a local pizza joint. He is not compelled AT ALL to get a full time job, or even another part time job. We pay his car insurance, he pays no rent, and buys no food. Basically, he contributes absolutely NOTHING to the home. Once in a blue moon he'll prepare dinner for DH and I.

Wouldn't it be great to have a "like" or "agree" button on this site? I find myself almost repeating others just to make sure the point I agree with is looked at as seriously as possible. Could we do this?

My husband has a child from his previous marriage. I take care of her when she is with us and I love her. When she was born my husbands wife at the time told him he couldn't go to the hospital or she'd call the cops. So he didn't see her born. Now I am expecting a child and he said he won't be at the hospital because it's not fair to his child he already has. It really pisses me off. I am not jealous of his daughter at all. But I don't think its right to miss the birth of our child just because his ex-wife did what she did.

So when SO came home from dropping off SS9, it was about 6:30 p.m. About a half hour later, a member of his family calls to let him know that one of his uncles had a stroke (he doesn't live in state). So then my SO started making all these phone calls I started to get a little angry. Selfish, I know, but it's how I felt. Not so much because of the family member, but b/c SO is not even close to his uncle, and he knows how I feel about ppl suddenly caring when something happens to someone they barely knew or had a relationship with. I didn't say anything though.

My boyfriend of 2 years had a brief relationship with someone a couple months before he met me. She was 20 years his junior but he was just eat up with her. When we first started seeing each other, he was texting her and IMing her on the computer a lot. I saw what he wrote and it was just friendly stuff but none the less it kinda bothered me. It seemed when she talked to him she needed something...gas money, borrow a vehicle, money loan, ect...so I think she only used him to get her along when she need something.

So SD17 will turn 18 in July and graduate highschool in June. She lives with us so we are responsible for getting her ready for college, paying for college and everything else for that matter. BM does nothing.. I mean nothing. Christmas.. she gave SD17 $ 100.00.. last bday.. a card.. whatever.. she is a loser we all know it. However come tax time she is rich.. she has two other kids, on welfare etc... she rakes it in at tax time. SD went to her house for dinner last Saturday... she asked her mom if she would help her get a new computer...

I have been reading all of your blogs for months now and always hesitate to sign up and join in. Always thinking that things will get better and I don't need advice. How wrong was I. Nothing is getting better, it just feels as though it's getting worse.

I have been with my DH for 5 years now and he is a wonderful man whom I am very lucky to have. We have full custody of his 2 children SS11, SD9 and my BS13.
