They can be shitty as they want to me and that's what they'll get back. It's a good thing. Oh yeah, and I'm already sporting earplugs.

I have a blended family with one stepson. He is 32, but often still acts like a child. He had a stroke when he was young and has reasoning issues. I do my best to love him and I often care for his daughter. Sometimes I feel that if I do not always do as he wishes that he will somehow prevent me from spending time with her. It is difficult because I love her so much! I love him too, but he makes me feel manipulated and I hate that part of it. I think I will be visiting this site often. It is the first site I have found that helps step parents deal with the difficult issues we face.

I think I've joined you there.

I LOVE your blog post title. I am going to get Tshirts, buttons, etc...

Hmmm...might be time to change my quote from "Parental love is unconditional, relationships are reciprocal." ~Zen

To "I'm in f#ckoff mode." ~ Notthemomma

Smile It's a mode I've come to embrace recently. I'm good with making it a new abbreviation.

You know...for 2 years now I haven't been nasty when they've been just little jerks. I took the stance that while they are the ones doing it, they are children. Yesterday I took the stance that, well, someday these children will be adults and if everyone allows them to treat others like total crap- well that's not helping them or preparing them for the real world. Ignore me- I ignore you, brush me off, you'll get the same brushoff. In fairness- I don't even care that it's her reject mother filling her head full of crap. She's smart enough to see through it.

I really don't like christmas...really really don't. I already decided no more money of mine is going toward the little snots. They're his. If he wants to blow his money, let him. Might make him a bit more selective though as bills still must be paid and HE is on a limited income.
