DIRT, DIRT, AND MORE DIRT!!!!

Hi everyone.
I'm here to vent about my ss7.
He's here on Fridays, Saturdays, and sundays every other week.
First off...every friday after school when we pick him up he smells soooo bad. He has body odor...it started last summer when he was six. I got him a deodorant and his dad uses it on h8m when he's here. However, it's obvious his mother doesn't do anything about his BO issues so hubby gave ss7 a deodorant to take home with him. ...it's obvious his mom doesn't care because every time we pick him up from school he obviously hasn't used any deodorant.
His dad really tried to get him to take a bath last night but the kid refused and he hasn't taken a bath today either.
When he's here his father let's him pick out his own clothes to wear and I swear the kid has been wearing the same pants for 6 months...everytime he's here, friday, saturday, and sunday.
By the way. ..these pants are waay to big on him. They are sooo baggy, the pockets stick out and are torn. He looks like a homeless kid and it is so embarrassing when people come over.
On Saturday his dad goes to work and ss7 is left with me. By the time I wake up it looks like we had a break in. The apartment is a total mess. On top of everything he never washes his hands and leaves black hand prints on walls and cupboards. Every Saturday he finishes all the juice in the fridge and the whole box of ritz(200g).
He never sits like a normal person...he's always either sitting on his head with his legs up in the sky or some other weird position. He walks on my white bed sheets with his dirty feet...I'm cleaning after him all the time when he's here. What a nightmare. Why doesn't his mom teach him something about cleanliness. I've complained to his dad before but he thinks his son is still a baby and actually puts him under the same category as our 8 month old!
He says..."He's just a baby!"

I forgot to mention every time he eats food ends up all over the floor.
This totally ruins my weekends. I have such a busy schedule. I have a baby to make special baby food for and take care of and clean after, I'm back in school and have homework I should be doing on the weekend. I'm so tired all the time and I hardly get to sleep. Weekends are also the only time hubby and I can spend together b7t when ss7 is here we can't even have a conversation or sit beside eachother because he is stuck to his dad like glue and follows him to the bathroom and everywhere else. I had enough.
I dream of getting my own place that I can go away to on weekends.
Being a step mom is the worst thing that ever happened to me. Hubby pays so much child support it isn't fair. His ex has a good government j9b and she's married to someone who also has a job. We only have one income...it's not fsir because my baby still doesn't have crib but ss7 has so many brand name clothes his mom gets with the child support many. She took 2 vacations last year all the way over seas and we can't even go visit my parents in another city.
I think I have come to the conclusion that love for a man is not worth it but the problem is I now have a child so it's a little late.
Did I mention that I'm only 25 and my sex life is also miserable because on weekdays hubby and I hardly see eachother and now we only do the deed on weekends that stepson isn't here which is twice a month. I'm only 25 but I feel like I'm 50 thanks to hubbys past.

I forgot to mention that ss7 didn't even wish me a happy birthday this year. We picked him up from school. ..he didn't even ssy hi to me than his dad told him its my birthday and he ssid nothing...then his dsd makes an excuse for him saying he's tired.
At home he asked me if he was gonna get cake and I said to him " you didn't wish me happy birthday yet?"...his reply was " I'm too tired."......and he never said happy birthday at all!!!! Wow!
I will not care about his birthday anymore. I can't stand rude kids.

My SS9 made more of a mess around him when eating than DD3 did. You always knew where SS had sat because of the food spilled on the chair, table and floor. I don't know if it is a SS or boy thing.

You only have the skid every other weekend. I could put up with anything if it was only four days a month. Be grateful it's not 50/50 or full custody.

It's not 4 days a month, it's fridsy, saturday, and sunday, and ehy should I be grateful for having an extra burden?
I didn't have 2 babies because I only wanted to take care of one....cleaning after other people's children and babysitting
Is not my responsibility so ehy should I be grateful for taking on other people's responsibility when I could be doing better things with my time? I mean sm I seriously supposed to be grateful.
His mom also dumped on me for 3 months while I was pregnant with my first baby.
And he's here all holidays and pd days so it's much more than 4 days a month.
Why should I be grateful for babysitting some one elses kid for free?
I'm not grateful , I'm miserable and like I said earlier if I didn't have a baby with hubby I'd be gone now.

Being a step mom has ruined my life. I never wish this upon any woman. Now when I have a friend who meets a man with a kid..I tell her to stop and slow down.

His stuff sounds pretty normal for a 7 year old if left to their own devices - but no 7 year old should be given the option not to bathe, dress like a slob and be a slob.

Your DH needs to up his parenting.

Damn straight. Daddy needs to quit seeing him as a baby (at seven years old) and start MAKING him do things that he OUGHT to do...like a PARENT.

Anything else that you have complained about is mostly things that all SMs deal with. Any way YOU could get a job?
