You are here

Can we do this every weekend?

Oh..that's right We do. The sshits are here Every weekend. I love the early morning bickering and arguing and huffing and puffing and bitching. Just what I look forward to drinking my first cup of coffee too. And then there is the ever so grateful and willing to do attitudes when it comes time to doing the chores. And don't forget the proud parenting moments of listening to your dh yell at the sshits so loudly it goes out the front window up to the second floor where I am. But they are his boys and the weekends are such important times for them all. Meanwhile me and my bs are sequestered in our rooms so we don't impede on these special father sshit times. (Written with nothing but contempt toward my sshits and my weekends-monday, please get here quickly)

That sucks, EVERY weekend. You need to take your territory back and have their territory shrank down to their room.

Instead of hole-ing up in your room with your son, why not go DO something with him?

Hell, there's no shortage of pumpkin patches and corn mazes around right now. Smile

I couldn't do every weekend. SD got here about an hour ago, and already has pitched a fit about.... not getting to take the Capri Suns out of the box. Every other weekend is tough enough!

Ugh when I hear the kids fighting before 8 am I take it as a cue to take a long long ride to Starbucks. I drive an extra ten minutes to go to the drive thru one. And SD16 is not usually here on the weekends, its my own kids bickering! Sometimes I take the really long way and take my time. I tell DH this is my only time away from all the kids and I will NOT be answering my cell phone so don't bother calling for any reason!

Or I take the dogs for a long walk and forget my phone home }:)

Oh my! I wouldn't have a relationship if it was every weekend! We stopped living together because of that crap! And I got tired of them ( SS and SO) monopolizing my house, and trashing the place, and controlling the one flat screen tv we had. It was impossible for me to give them enough space. The screaming matches? Well, just be thankful be is attempting to discipline them I couldnt even imagine my SO actually even telling the prince that he had to do chores on 'his' Saturday. Sounds like it may be time to come up with a better discipline plan than screaming. I'm so sorry you have to go thru that every weekend. And your son. How does he feel about it? If I may ask, To have all this going on every weekend in his home?

Yes, Every weekend! Those are his court ordered visitation times. From Friday after school to Sunday night at six. SS15 is determined to make everyone's life a living hell! He has older SS at his bm house who picks on him so when he gets here on the weekend All he does is follow his bb around and torment him and pick fights with me. He doesnt dare mess with my bs13 as he will pull out his airsoft gun and chase him around the house shooting SS15's ass. That only happened twice and bs gets left alone. My bs doesn't like that they are around but he also doesn't mind if he gets time with them one in one (mainly because the SS are not fighting). My ss9 can really be a tolerable little boy! I blame the whole horrible weekend stuggle on shit head SS15. He has a prince complex to rival any teenage princess complex out there. And he is socially stupid. He picked an argument with me this morning because I hand washed some dishes and asked him to dry them and put them away..he couldn't figure out how to dry them...I should probably be more upset at dh and his ex at their poor parenting skills than anything, but for a kid who wants to he treated like an adult (I know I laugh too when he says it), you would think he would Want to learn how to act like one.

Teenage stepshits suck ass. I have a fat, lazy, smelly, smart mouthed 15 y/o stepshit too. He makes me cringe.

My SD stopped coming over at all when she was 15/16. She was not that bad but I still did the happy dance .

As much as I love DH, pretty sure I'd be drawing up imaginary divorce papers after the first two months of every weekend. The summer gets me that far as is. But school starting, is what gets me through, knowing there wasn't an end? After three months, those imaginary ones may get a bit more real.

Nice. Was just curious. My bs13 tries to avoid to much interaction with the ss8, and when he retaliates after being harassed the entire time, he gets accused of bullying.

It's a bonus that your your son doesn't stress too much with it!

That is not to say bs13 doesn't stress about them! He goes through the same emotions I do when he hears them come up the drive way. It physically drains you just hearing them. He tolerates them as long as he is playing his video game (with his head phones on). If they start harrasing him he gets really pissed off, and I dont blame him-he easliy gets blamed for bullying and not acting like a 'brother'.
Sshit15 has no respect of boundaries. BS had to slam his door in ss15's face to get the point across that you knock before you come in and even then you need permission to go into someone elses room.
BS and I hate going out in public with them. The sshit15 is pigoen toed and is even lazy when he walks so it is a production even walking with him. And he is one of those large, gangly teenagers who has to walk right..in..front of you (i even tripped him once and he still didn't get it). And little sshit9 runs around like a wild creature who has never been taught to stick by parents. He has never been taught the fear of being left behind so he just runs/roams. And OMG if you should not buy sshit9 something he wants..the temper tantrum is almost comical to watch. There have been a couple of times that me and bs have stood by while a tantrum was going on and once he calmed down we started clapping and yelling bravo(guess you had to be there but it was a priceless moment!).
The most frustrating part is now that dh is sober, he is starting to appreciate the calm quiet house during the week. So on the weekends when DH says things like how the "boys are driving him crazy" or "s15 is pissing him (dh) off because he can't sit still or be quiet" it hurts that if I say it I am being a selfish, uncaring bitch.
