Once DH gets home, you "need to take the baby upstairs." I hope you are there already. Six weeks? I'm sending you strength to deal with those Skids. You have your hands full with a precious little one.

It may sound wasteful, but put a roll of paper towels in the bathroom when they come over. They'll think they're special and your stuff won't get ruined.

Not wrong at all, I think any sane woman has wished her skids never existed at some point.

Focus on your sweet baby and tell your dh he needs to step it up with his kids.

Nope, not wrong at all. It is too bad there is not a "fall of the planet" button that could be pushed to rid each of us of the toxic blended family opposition that we struggle with.

In our case it is not the Skid that I would disappear. I have for decades considered sacrificing a goat to the gods of Karma to have a nice sized meteor or comet strike on a Sperm Clan family reunion and filter that shallow and polluted gene pool from the lexicon of humanities future.

Of course the Skid will miss that reunion. He is a mutant and somehow has managed to avoid the major toxic element of the shallow and polluted end of his gene pool.

You are not wrong at all! On a daily basis I think to myself, "She just needs to leave...be out of my house...and never come back!" The more I look at SheSloth and her ways, the happier I am that I got my tubes tied before I met DH. He often talks that he regrets that we never had a child together, but then I look at how spoiled rotten SheSloth acts, and I'm glad I don't have a younger child in the house! I would hate to have to explain to a younger child every day why the rules did not apply to their older sister. At least with my bios, they are significantly older than SheSloth (daughter is 8 years older, son is 4 years older), and they fully understand what is going on. They don't like it, because they feel I'm being taken advantage of and not respected, but they get it.

Sending prayers your way. You are in a tough situation! Your DH needs to man up and parent those kids, especially if he isn't going to help you with the baby. At the very least, while you were cooking dinner, he should have taken the baby for you! Just because he is a man is no excuse! My SIL just had a baby, and my BIL takes every opportunity he can to hold his daughter! SIL needs a nap, needs to cook dinner, etc., he will take the baby! He will feed her, change her, rock her. Of course, if your DH is not even parenting the kids he has, it isn't surprising that he isn't feeling bonded to the baby either!

If it's wrong...I don't wanna be right.
