I HATE BEING A STEPPARENT
:O I do not love being a step parent!! Honestly though its not because of my sd its because of my husbands MOTHER and SIBLINGS!! I feel like when i do for my sd its never enough and if i dont do i get verbally beaten up about it.... seriously i love my hubby more than anything in the world and i love our children that we have together and i love my sd but my inlaws make me want to give up and completely move on they mistreat my children who btw are her biological grandchildren also but justifies it by saying she feels sorry for my sd because she doesnt have her mom and dad to raise her together but i feel that it is no more my kids fault that they do than it is my sd fault that she doesnt.... sorry for the long rant but its soooo frustrating! any advice would be appreciated because i honestly feel as if im attempting to fight a battle that i simply cannot and will not ever win so i just feel like giving up and just staying away and letting my husband deal with his daughter and family.
yes unfortunately they all
yes unfortunately they all live a stones throw away! i wouldve never bought the house next too them had i known what it would be like. it wasnt like this until we had our kids then its like she started picking around trying to find things to complain about. you are right i shouldnt let her get to me but its hard.
thank you for the advice!i
thank you for the advice!i have talked to him about it and he doesnt appreciate the way she treats our kids either but he always says things arent that bad and he doesnt care about what they say or think that we love and care for them and thats all that matters. i finally got enough of it and told him either he deals with her or im out and he told her how we felt about the way she treats them and she tried to make it seem like its my fault she is that way towards them. then she tried to say that he has an insufficient relationship with sd and he is better to our kids and he told her that whatever issues she had with his and his daughters relationship she could talk to him about that and leave me out of it because shes not my daughter so i shouldnt take the cussin for him. i appreciate his efforts but we will see if it helps!
ha i love it! i feel like im
ha i love it! i feel like im on the worst episode of everybody loves raymond EVER except the mil couldnt be more hateful!! you know the saddest part of it all for me is that its not sd fault but it really makes me pull away from her so i dont have to deal with it. oh yes the second we are able i will be skipping states!!
