What's the best and/or worst things skids have done to you?

I've been feeling pretty down lately at the way SD20 has been treating me. I figure that if people would tell their best and/or worst skid stories I'll feel better because hopefully mine aren't so bad, or the good ones will give me hope for the future. Anyone?

The nerve of saying Prince is better than Jimi! He's only one of the most innovative and influential guitar players of all time! The humor helps, but I hate to hear that maybe it'll be better in 20 years. Not sure if I can stay sane that long.

As a child of the 80's, I can honestly say that, I LOVE PRINCE. I thought he was so "talented".

Don't get me wrong, I love Prince too (I'm also a child of the 80s), but as a guitar player -no way.

Are you sure you want to hear this one? Worst.....I guess this wasn't directly at me but it was my worst experience, one that seperated the step family probably forever.....stepsons molested, and one had sex with my daughters.

Best experience, all have gotten rather over-shadowed by the worst. I let them go. I am still married to their father but we have no contact with the boys.

......."the pact mentality, the looks, the hate, the gossip, always has been designed to alienate me from their family. Worked like a charm. The only thing they never counted on, was that my family would eventually include my husband, full-time. So, their family kinda is without a dad. Their choice........"

Oh, makes sense why my adult SD brats are not talking to daddy-doormat right now, and probably for years to come.

They'll never grow up to understand it WAS THEIR CHOICE. They really believe daddy chose me over them. Yea, right. He just finally found his sack and stopped letting you two wipe your feet on it at the front door.

My SD13 does thing very sneaky behind her daddy's back; she is very manipulative and very quiet when she does stuff. She will shoot me dirty looks when her dad isn't looking. She will walk right by me and right to her dad; she won't hardly eat my dinners. The other day; it was raining and her dad wouldn't give her a ride; she walked right by me like I wasn't worth her time of day (fine walk in the rain....)

She will take my perfumes or whatever else she thinks I won't notice. She was on the way to ruining her BM marraige so we got her!!!!!!!!!!

Last Sunday in the church parking lot, SD screamed at me that she hated me and wished her father never met me - all this at the top of her lungs and among a crowd of people. I'm trying to think of something positive she's done - but my mind is blank. Guess I'll have to come back to that. Being a stepmon is so grand!

My boyfriend's daughter disrespected my mothers home over the 4th of July this year. She complained that it was lame and there was nothing to do, all of this was said in front of my mom who was making us all dinner for the holiday. She was 16 when she said these things, something I would expect from a 5 year old but not 16. I have held a grudge ever since. Another thing is when me and my boyfriend are talking while she is watching TV she will tell us to "shut up." He could just be talking to me and she will tell him to shut up almost like she doesn't want him talking to me. My boyfriend just tells her to be quiet like that is going to do anything. Pretty much my boyfriends daughter is rude and disrespectful all the time.

Mine has done the direct (the screaming, etc though thankfully not in the church pl) , but the sneaky behind the back stuff is almost worse. The constant talking shit about me to BM, the other skids who still live with me, lying about me to everyone who will listen and then sit in front of me with a fake smile and her hand out. Ughh!

The only good thing SD17 ever did for me was move to her mom's house when she was 15.

Bad things are too numerous to mention, probably at the top of the list is simply constantly pushing her father to "choose" her over me and making him SO conflicted he hardly knows which way to turn most days. Worst individual action was stealing from me a valuable piece of electronic equipment given to me by my employer to use for work purposes. Despite this piece of equipment eventually (two years later) being found (by me) hidden behind SD's bed, she will not admit she took it and DH says it's NOT stealing because it didn't leave the house.

So many things. But honestly the best thing SD14 did was the CO modification and ultimately leave. My suspicion is that she lied about most of the stuff that went on in this house to the lawyers and her mom. Most of the stuff that she started...I will never know what she said since we are not fighting it.

SS12 dropped the wedding ring in the sand when we got married during the ceremony. He also refused to say the vows we included for the kids. He is still living with us half the time and usually okay, but I can't get past the blatant hostility he did that day.

Let's see...

Worst: After DH and I spent tens of thousands of dollars to get custody of SS at age 13, he decided that he wanted to go back to living with BM because he missed his friends. DH said tough luck, so SS started faking hallucinations and lying about addictions to get into mental health treatment and get the attention he so desperately deserved. He practically bankrupted our family as well as BM's.

Best: SS apologized to DH for all the stupid things he did when he was younger. And he voluntarily gave me a card for Mother's Day this past year - 1st time ever in 16 years!
