It's only 9 am and the dread is creeping in. I can't be alone!!
Well it's here skid weekend. Boy those 2 weeks flew by. Skids are due tomorrow and already my stomach is turning. SO will be all stressed out and cleaning the house like royalty is coming, well PrincASS William and Harry are royalty compared to us mere peasants. The house will be trashed in 60 seconds of their arrival. The song by Drake 0-100 real quick, real quick is playing in my head.
Then it will begin, the food issues, the wasting food the FACE TIMIMG MOMMY, the WIFI bullshit, the 10 yo acting like a 5yo, the sound effects (think Chunk from the Goonies ALL DAY AND NIGHT) the touching of other peoples belongings, the going in my bios rooms and every other thing they do that gets under my fucking skin and of course the BM nonsense. And SO idea of discipline is stop, don't do that and then turn a blind eye GRRR. At some point in time SO will get stressed and over whelmed and I will hear the "you're never around, when you're here you're not here you are always doing something in the kitchen or the bedroom I need help" MOTHERFUCKER your kids are 7 and 10 they don't need diaper changes and feedings every 3 hours. If you can't control them take that shit up with MOTY she created that monster. It is not my place to discipline YOUR kids. I've raised mine and at 13 and 17 they don't need much discipline just some guidance, shit at 10 and 7 they didn't need much. WHY? because I was a mother and took the time to teach them right from wrong VERY early on. It is also NOT my place to entertain YOUR kids, again I played with my kids, I did my shit with them and I am still being a parent, just in a different way. Cheering, driving, rides. Sometimes I think the age gap in our kids is going to be the death of this relationship.
I have Cheering Comp with DD tomorrow and it will get me out of the house for a good chunk of the day. I am PRAYING to every entity under the sun that the weathermen are wrong about the weather forecast for NJ I DO NOT WANT TO GET STUCK HOME WITH THOSE HELL SPAWN KIDS ALL FUCKING DAY. Sunday I am getting my nails done and taking DS driving.
So I sit here with the knots in my stomach dreading the weekend and hoping it goes super fast. It shouldn't be this way.

Skid weekend here too. The
Skid weekend here too. The minute they walk through the door I'll get to hear SS9's baby voice which will go on incessantly till he leaves. He'll dump all his stuff on the floor and start demanding things (and our full attention at all times). All the tidying up and cleaning I've done will be in vain because when he arrives he makes the place a mess in what seems like minutes. DH will cater to his every need and treat him like royalty (and like a baby). These weekends seem to go on forever and I can't wait till Monday. Someone pour me a glass of wine please..
WINE lots of it!!!!!!! By
WINE lots of it!!!!!!! By Saturday afternoon work looks like a vacation!!
I hear ya, I look forward to
I hear ya, I look forward to work on Mondays after skids been here, can't friggin wait. For me it's having to listen to a nine year old talk like a 4 year old for days that just drives me up the wall. It literally makes me want to throw up. Earplugs at the ready, wine glass out, open that bottle now!!
I'm with you. My Steps come
I'm with you. My Steps come home tonight for their every other week visit. It's another week of SS18 spending every waking moment (14 hours a day on weekends) on his laptop, SD14 telling everyone how wonderful and intelligent she is, and BS19 and BD14 getting blamed for everything. Thankfully, we turned a back bedroom into a little living area for DH and me to escape to. It has a half bath, dorm room sized fridge, a 32-inch TV, a recliner loveseat, and a fully stocked mini bar. I have everything I need and don't have to leave it if I don't want to.
OMFG A week. I be a full
OMFG A week. I be a full blown alcoholic if I had them a week at a time.
No Judging, but I already sneak off and indulge in a little herbal remedies when they are around. I know it's not for everyone and most look down on it, but I'm I grown ass woman and indulge responsibly.
Oh hon, the day I found my
Oh hon, the day I found my son's stash - I had the BEST weekend. No judgment here.
Some weekends it's all that
Some weekends it's all that keeps me from going Joan Crawford "Mommy Dearest" on their little disrespectful asses. Instead I sit back and actually LOL at SO stressing, I smh, laugh and say YOUR CIRCUS YOUR MONKEYS.
Omg your private living area
Omg your private living area sounds amazing, I want one lol

me too!!! we're working on saving up for a dorm-sized fridge to be stocked w/ snacks, milk and beer! that way i can hole up for some peace if i WANT to!
We have four bedrooms. DH
We have four bedrooms. DH and I share, both boys shared, and both girls share. The extra room was a storage/library/junk room. One boy moved into the basement, so we moved the other boy into the storage/library/junk room (after we cleaned it out of course). The rooms we occupy are at the end of the hallway. The doors are directly across from each other. We took the doors off the hinges, and DH put a door in the hallway before you get to those doors. Make sense? You go into the main door, and our bedroom is to the right, the sitting room is to the left. It's our own parental apartment. No kids allowed without express permission. We even put a little cat door in it so the cats could get in and out during the day. We keep it locked when we are not home.
I effing love this idea. The
I effing love this idea. The layout of my house won't allow it, but SERIOUS kudos to you for doing it!!
My dread never goes
My dread never goes away....one of my skids lives here full time!!! But I understand your feelings..I use to feel the same dread back when my skids were younger and it was the whole EOW thing...but now it's constant dread..when SD20's car pulls up (she's the one who lives with us) I feel a panic attack coming on..BLAH!
If the weather is bad, take
If the weather is bad, take your DD to a movie. You don't need to be stuck with the spawn all day.
Yep, right there with you
Yep, right there with you all. Although I'm praying for the snow to start before DH has to pick up SS6 tomorrow morning because that means I'll be spared the pleasure of SS6's presence. BM doesn't think it's safe for DH to pick up and drive Skidly around in the snow.
The thought of being stuck in the house with Skidly makes me want to poke my eyes out, especially if we lose power. If that happens, the heat goes out too. And that means Skidly would have to hang out with us in our bedroom because that's where the wood stove is. Yuck. Definitely regretting installing the stove in there now. Seemed romantic at the time, but now it just seems like a really bad idea.
