Does anyone feel cheated that so much time & money is spent on skids who, at the end of the day, don't really care or appreciate what DH does for them? It's hard enough to spend enough couple time in a nuclear family with bio kids, But, in steps, it seems like there are so many issues being addressed all the time that there is little time or energy left for the marriage.

My DH is so extremely busy correcting, helping, spending time with SD and all her endless issues that by the time it comes to us, it's midnight and we're both exhausted. It only keeps the resentment for SD turning. Even worse, we have SD fulltime.

I feel for you I really do!!! I totally understand this. With SKIDS it's like the conversations never end. There is always somthing to be talked about with them and the drama that comes with the BIOMOM. I am struggling with the personal time with my hubby as well. By the time everything is done at the end of the day it is like midnight and we are so tired. 

I feel our relationship is heading down a bad road that might be hard to come back from. I just need a little extra love now that I took on this SKID. And I need him to see that. Ive been drinking alot of wine to deal with this lol

I honestly understand you!! SD is here almost fulltime.

Everything revolves around her when she's here and it's like I can't get a moment to relax or be with my husband

I buying the book Eight Dates to hopefully help us reconnect.
