My husband is the SF to my two boys, I am the SM to his two girls. His daughters' respect and obey fine because I've been around them since 4 & 6 yrs old. My boys are 16 & 14 and they met SF around 11 & 13, they have been very disobedient and disrespectful to both of us. I want him to step up to the plate and discipline them and turn them around. He says its my job since they are my sons. This bothers me and it sort of causes me to disrespect him a little. I think its a cop out. Their father is in and out of their lives. Any suggestions?
Boss Baby
DH and I have been married for approx 6 months and although we dated for years before getting married and I have tried over and over to accept SD6. I can't. She is needy, whiney, manipulative, MUST get her way. I am completely over it. She is with us a few times a week and everything is daddy, daddy, daddy. I get it - shes 6, her parents got seperated when she was 2 weeks old. She has never lived with them both to know what its normal and what is abnormal. I am tired of people telling me what step moms are supposed to do.
I just wanted to share this info with everyone..
PBS is airing this show about the economic tough times, and why families must cut back on spending. It airs on Wed Sept 9th at 8pm EST. (not sure about the other time zones). We are taping this (or dvring it) and playing it for the skids this coming weekend. Elmo tells how his family is cutting back, no amusement parks, but rather the local park, no movie theaters, but rather a rented dvd.. etc..
I've been on the step-scene for a little over a year now and I really don't have too many expectations as being a step-parent. As a matter of fact, I don't really like being called a parent at all.
I was flung into my current situation after practically living with the father of 3 for almost 2 years prior to an emergency room visit that hurled 3 skids forcefully at me.
Well we went to go see my husbands grandbaby yesterday because we can only see her when the daddy has her. Anyway the babys dad tells us that my husbands daughter left specific instructions that now neither of us can see the baby and when the babys dad asked why-- she said because they need to act like they got some sense! OMG I cannot believe the nerve of that girl!!! At first she tried telling my hubby that he was welcome around her and the baby but I was not and I guess since that did not work for her she is adding him into the equation. She should be ashamed.
Ok, so I've been on a diet and decided I needed some wine this weekend (2 months none)...damn it's good.
Letter I wish I could send to SD 15, but of course never will
Dear SD,
I was 21 when i met your dad, I expected some weekend sex and a few free dinners, never expected marriage. I fell in love with him so fast and knew we were meant for each other...that was 11 years ago. If I could meet 21 year old me today, I would tell her to run like hell!!!!
I need to know because I don't and I have to relay everything that I have to say to DH and that frustrates me A LOT.
I guess I am just trying to avoid any negative feedback about me that SK might spill to BM, which will cause BM to go berserk and gossip about me again and tell the world how wicked I am.
But gosh, this kid is sometimes soo annoying!
1. Can you watch BS so DH and I can play?
2. Where are my shorts?
3. Where's the phone? BM is calling!
4. What you're eating is yucky (I'm eating veggies, meat, fish, chicken)
5. I am bored in the car
6. That show is boring
Note: SK is 8 years old.
I don't know about you but I absolutely hate it when SK shoos BSs away when the latter attempts to go near him (SK). Like when SKs toys are scattered everywhere and BS2 inches closer to him, he'd shout at him, "BS2 STOP! or STOP in BS2!" I also notice that whenever BS2 touches even the tip of SK's shirt or shorts, SK shoves BS2's hand or feet away-- he doesn't really care if BS2 is a baby or what! Another thing: SK doesn't like BS2 to play with his stuffed animals and SK would snatched it away from him.
I am writing because I feel horrible about how I am feeling towards my s/d. First of all we have not seen her in three years because her mom would get angry with her and her dad everytime she would visit us on weekends. So she chose to stop visiting and strangely enough we had to except it for her sake. Well her mom was unexpectedly killed in a motorcycle accident. Now s/d lives with us and is going to a new school. All of this is hard for her and she has been amazingly strong through this.
