After 3.5 years of marriage, and SD21 ruining my lovely bathroom by getting permanent blue hair dye all over everything (including my marble vanity top) the night before last, I have accepted that I cannot live with my DH and his three “kids,” ages 21, 18, and 15. I’m just so sick of cleaning up after these people.

On top of that, DH has stated that he’d “love it” if all of his kids chose to live there into adulthood. Since their parents have taught them very well to freeload and take without giving (poor CODs, after all), that’s a real possibility.

My DH has three kids, ages 14 to 20, with one BM.

Not one of them has a single one of his physical characteristics. Not a curly hair, cleft chin, long/lean body type, green eye or peg tooth among them. (I guess I made DH sound homely, but he’s actually very cute.:))

DH has one nephew (20), who looks more like him than any of his own kids do. Because the nephew has characteristics of his father, who is DH’s brother.

All of the talk about Mother's Day got me thinking about Father's Day being on its heels.

I've decided that, this year and going forward, I will no longer orchestrate any celebration of Father's Day for DH on behalf of his three kids.

Since we've been together, I've always bought a nice card and had them sign and present it to him at a special meal I spend hours preparing.

And I can't imagine loving my bios any more.

April Fool's, suckers!
