Stealing SD

Anyone have suggestions on, or want to vent to me about stealing? My SD steals, goes through my things, and then acts like I am the problem when called out on it. She is the most toxic, ungrateful, dark cloud I have ever encountered. I do not like having her in my house and wish she'd stop coming over.

Bio Mom is so frustrating

Hello, 

How do people deal with manipulating bio moms? Has anyone been successful? The one I deal with is so draining. She seems to enjoy causing trouble in my personal life, and enjoys her kids being upset with me and I never know what to do. It's almost like I am damned if I do and if I don't. She NEVER communicates with me, yet points out she keeps me out of the loop because we don't agree on anything...even though she literally knows nothing about me personally or takes any responsibility for her own issues or agendas. Annoying!

I have it at my house.......ARGH!

Every time I go into my SD's room, there is a new item from her mom's - hydrogen peroxide, vitamins, cotton rounds, acne treatment, etc. that her mom sends seperately in a giant ziplock bag.  I HAVE IT ALL HERE, in MY HOUSE. SD does'nt ask us for anything, and it just keeps adding fuel to the non communication fire.  Bio Mom never communicates either, she just assumes we don't have things here, and is using her SD to keep the lines of communication closed.  She is teaching her to be the same.

Clothes

Why is it so hard for the skids BM to return clothes? It has gotten so bad that SS has almost no socks or underwear at my home because a. He is 16, LOL and b. It never comes back from his awful "mother's" house. I have bought countless packs of these and its so costly! 

I asked my husband to follow up with his wicked ex, I cant even. If I ask for clothes she sends an 8 paragraph text about herself and then points out how critical I am. *crazy*

Fathers day and BM

I just need to rant because I have no one else to talk to. Every fathers day and every holiday BM and her 2 kids do something that is either the same as my gift, or just completely exclude my bio son. Its so frequent it has to be on purpose, and its hard not to feel her kids are behind it. We pick out gifts together so all kids can be included and BM always does something else to be either the same or do more. She sucks and I just want to say it.  Having stepkids is really hard. I never thought it would be this tough. So now my husband is getting two of the same thing, again.

Happy Father's Day!

To all the Dad's and Step Dad's and people who act as dad's every day.....I hope your day is as happy as it can be and that no crazy family drama occurs.  (Or at least, a manageable amount occurs if any must).
