Too picky- out of options.

So this rant is one I've had before but it's getting worse so here I am again. My SS13 is such a picky eater I don't even know what to buy for when he's over. He said he likes oven roasted chicken, so I made one tonight and he decided he didnt want any tonight ( which is fine bc it was amazing and my Hubby and I just about ate it all ourselves ) so he made some hot pockets and as he was eating them said these were his last ones so I said oh we'll have to get more and he said no don't I'm sick of them. Well we got him some popcorn chicken which he also said he dosent want.

All this time, and still no progress

Sometimes it just blows my mind how long I have known my SS13 with the way he treats me. I have known him for 7 years and I feel that he hasn't liked me since day one I have taken him out just the two of us countless times to try and bond. I am so nice to him when he is here. I have tried to sit down and talk with him but he still treats me like I dont exist. He will just talk to his dad when I'm in the room. He just came in with his report card and I said oh, what cha got? And he says oh I just have my report card for Dad to look at. Now why wouldn't he show me?

Have SO had it this weekend!

So for those of you who were reading my blog from last night- today wasn't much better. MY SS13 was in a foul mood all day. We were going to go bowling to get out of the house and do something but he moaned and groaned that he wasn't in the mood to go out. So we basically stayed inside all day for the most part. He is so strange at 13, no friends, no interest to speak of.. nothing. He just sat in the recliner in the living room literately all day long and either played his hand held video games or watched tv.

SS being a total disrespectful punk!

So SS is being extremely mouthy tonight which is so not like him. We decided to go out to dinner, had him pick the place, were sitting there talking and trying to include him in the convo bc he was just sitting there looking angry. Then my DH makes a joke about how bc of the snow he us never in school and he us going to send him to an all summer school and with the mist serious angry evil face he depots with, I' m afraid that's not your decision to make, it's moms and she wouldnt do that.

Why oh whyyyyyyy won't SS leave the room

So here is a quick rant- it's new years eve, Hubby and I are stuck with SS 13 tonight. Were in the living room, watching tv, having drinks, fire in fireplace and SS13 won't leave room and keeps asking obvious questions about the show were watching- it's really killing the mood. We have a large house, full cable, a computer, and flat screen tvs in other rooms, tons of movies, Multiple game systems ( which we bought him 4 new games for Christmas ) and he wants to be here with us - how special.

We always do what works for BM

Well i am rippin mad right now and pretty hurt too, so excuse me while I vent and throw a temper tantrum. God forbid we EVER have plans that would inconvenience BM. The arrangements for the holidays are ALWAYS whatever BM prefers. This year we were planning on having my MIL and skids come over on Christmas eve for a nice dinner and open some gifts, have skids sleepover and have them open up more gifts on Christmas morning. Then around 1:00 or 2:00 DH was going to drop skids off. Well DH just ran this idea by BM and he crumbled like a cookie.

Disengage or play up the part ?

So I'd really like to hear from you stepmoms that have your skids BM living within driving distance from you. What I need to know is how meny of you in this situation see BM on a regular basis? I've been with my now DH for about 7 years and it just occured to me that I've only actually seen BM face to face a couple of times. We've talked on the phone briefly but basically that's it. I know allot of people(stepmoms) talk on a regular basis to BM but my on the days that we get the skids my DH picks up the skids straight from his work so I don't see her then.

At least I tried

So today was a nice fall day. DH and SS13 and I decorated the house with Halloween stuff, we went out and bought some pumkins and bails of hay to put outside to make it look good too. I figured it might be a good idea if I made them a nice roasted chicken dinner with all the fixings to put a nice end to our weekend. Keep in mind that SS13 useally eats different food then us at dinnertime bc he is such a fussy eater also he is impatient so he useally eats dinner before we eat our meal.

MIL question

So I love my MIL she is really great. However I am finding out little by little that she is in contact with skids BM more then I origionally thought. I know that if BM drops the skids at my MIL house they will obviously say hello to each other but I am finding out that there have been occasions that my MIL has made a visit to BM house to give her something she had bought. Also the skids BM buys my MIL flowers for mothers day and has them sent to her house. I could see a gift from the skids. , but from my husbands ex wife? Is this how it is for others too?

Can DH ever say NO?

So before I begin I will let you know that I'm aware that this issue sounds petty but it is more an issue of respect and simple principle for me. Every week when I go grocery shopping I keep in mind the likes of the Skids, DH and myself. I try to buy things everyone likes. I do also useally buy one item as a treat for my self during the week ( example: box of ice cream cones ) I. Always put my 'treat' item in the fridge that is in the garage, not in the main kitchen fridge. My SS13 always goes out to the garage fridge and will ask if he can have some of whatever item I got for myself.
