If only I listened to my mom and friends, who warned me how difficult it is to deal with being with a guy who already has kids....

I like to think I'm a pretty strong and confident individual. I figured, "how hard could it really be? I am patient, understanding, I can do it!It's only until she is 18! Plus, it's only for two weekends a month, that's nothing!"

Oh, how wrong I was...lol...(I laugh to keep from going nuts Wink )

It's overwhelming to think of all the things I have ahead of me when it comes to the SK. High School, dances, college, cars, marriage, her kids....UGH.... I really didn't think that far ahead, but just to think that DH will be attending SK's wedding with BM before our future children will even be out of elementary school. Wow, what a thought...

How am I going to deal with a lifetime of bratty "daddy I want this" "daddy I need that" "daddy, I said now" crap? I can't wait for me and DH to be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, while BM is texting about some trying issue regarding the SK that conveniently comes up every time we are celebrating some big step in our lives....

Sad

Haha - i remember my dad talking about the "ready-made" family. I'll bitch and complain about the X's and my dad just looks at me with that all telling "told you so" look. Eh, oh well. The SK's are fine, it's the X's that drive me nuts. Maybe things will get better, provided DH draws the land in the sand of her behavior. Until then...keep laughing to keep your sanity. Smile
