In late October, I posted that DH have given SD20 her Christmas present early. Very early. She received $100 in gift certificates, along with $80 for a prescription that we paid for her. She was supposed to pay it back. Since she never did, I had considered that the remainder of her Christmas loot. However, I (personally) would feel like a heel if she received nothing at Christmastime. We bought her a very nice bracelet, one that I myself would love to have. This goes against my previous blog stating that 'she's done for Christmas'. But I had to do SOMETHING.

HELP!! I'm so tired of my step sons attitude, and the fact my husband does not seem to care about the fact his son is allowed to hold our home under this grip of tension, dear daddy wont even set any boundries for him, but holds my daughters 7 & 14 to extreem standards. My poor friends just cant understand. Im holding out hope my SS will move out, he's flunking all grades in school, rebeling, on anti depressants and anxiety drugs, NOTHING IS WORKING!

Last night when I got home from work I came into the house telling my SD that I hadn't said much to her about her recent pics on her phone but that I wasn't going to stand for it. I told her that she is grounded from tv, radio, any form of technology/electronic. That what she did was wrong and that she better realize that she's going to have to deal with the concequenses of her actions.

Does anyone else leave notes for the skids at night? I'm trying something different...so I left a note on a heart shaped post-it stuck on their bathroom mirror that said "Jane & Jack, please make sure that you pick everything up in your room and bathroom...also make sure you have everything packed up that you want to take to your mom's by the front door in the morning."

I am new,
Chistmas is going to be Hell on Earth, due to BM. We have been out of work, 3-4 months, and don't have much for Christmas.We don't know what to do.SD SS and BS BD. All under 9 and still believe.

Did anyone ever get the feeling that... when you and bf have a child that he wont love your child the same way as he love his first child? cause sometimes my bf make me feel like that... i dont know if he even realize that... everytime when he talks about his son he makes comments as .... "if i hit a milion dollar i would split it to my family and my son,by the age of 18 he will be set".. and i'm sitting there thinking to myself"wtf" lol.... what if i had a child with him.. would he even care that much...ugh..

I am new to the group and not sure if this was the proper place to post/vent, but here it goes.

Ok, maybe someone will have some words of wisdom for me after reading this, idk...but I sure hope so. lol

so I am still a girlfriend about to be a SM. and the BM doesn't understand she need to respect me. i respect her as her daufhter's mother, but as a person she is stupid and most of the time as a mom shes the same. but she doesn't think i have a say. my Fiance ,the BF, keeps telling her to respect me as part of the kids life. but she thinks my opinions and decisions do not matter. i don't know how to get this through her head. in her house her new husband doesn't want any part of his SD life. But in our house, i do. I have complete say as if i was her mom.

i have to say kids say the darnest thing!! my ss is 3yr. we were in the store shopping and the bm called to talk to him like she usally does when we have him. anyways i guess she ask him what he is doing and if he ate..... and he said yes asia cook..i'm with asia walking we going shopping... then he said i dont want to talk to you i'm going shopping with asia... so i know the bm felt some type of way... then she call my husband thinking accusing someone telling him to say that to her... but noone did// he was on the phone with her himself...
