I saw this today and just had to laugh...

BM wrote on her social network

Why don't people live their own lives and leave others alone to live theirs as they see fit...

Mood: MAD

Last week I wrote about how my life was so not cool because of the tension and stressful environment that I had to deal with at home because of the SD10.... I talked about how manipulative she was and how she has made my life unbearable when she is with us (her father and I). Well, last week I also posted about how I was done with this stressful relationship and that I was unwilling to get married because it would only get worse as she gets older…. A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE that post... I did go and sign a lease to an apartment.

I've been telling FDH for a little over a month now, that I really don't feel like family b/c no one has taken any time to try and get to know me. But I never made a big deal about it to them, b/c you can't force someone to like you.

I was a single mom of two for 8 years. My daughter and my step daughter are 5 months apart. I really need some advice and or help. My husband feels like I am picking on his daughter, ( weather it is about cleaning her room, not listening to me, picking up after herself, and a few other things.) I am not picking on her but when my daughter sees that she is not doing her share of things and I make my daughter, then how fair is it to me and my children. Then it only starts a fight between my husband and I because she will go to him and he feels that I am picking on her and he will flip out.

So Saturday is SD's 18th birthday and according to her the day she is going to tell us to shove it and move out. Unlike all the past ten birthdays I have purchased NOTHING, I havn't even bought her a card, I have planned no festive party and I won't be baking a cake. WHY you ask? I disengaged about 6 months ago and this is her dad's responsibility. I would like to see what he comes up with if anything. I am NOT reminding him either. Its his kids birthday and he needs to take care of it how he chooses. NOT MY PROBLEM.

First, I want to thank everyone that commented on my last blog entry. After reading some of your comments I feel...empowered? I have decided:

*I am not going to let fmil drag me into the darkside with her.
- I am educated.
- I am attractive.
- I am smart.
- And I am going to love her son and his children no matter what.

Skids were with their BM this weekend... and so was my DS on Saturday. Weird, I know. YSD was begging me for two days to let him come there. I had very mixed feelings about it, but in the end I knew he would be safe. BM and I have been getting along, superficially I think, as I know their are still occasional things being said to the girls. Nothing like before though. I ended up making the decision based on 2 facts:

So, I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE my inlaws. I thought they were the nicest people..

NOT ANYMORE!!

So, to add to them showing up w/shingles in September and wishing to hold BS 5mos at the time. NOW they have told DH that IF we get SD11 & SS11 for Xmas they would like to come up for xmas.

Ummmm.... ? HELLO!!! What about BS 8 mos? you dont want to come because HE will be celebrating his first FUCKING Christmas?? you only want to come if the OTHER TWO come??? SERIOUSLY!?!?!?

It's been your typical week, not really a special week...but for some reason I was ultra-annoyed...
