Just looked through some pictures my sister took of all the cousins.... My skids are the oldest in the family out of all my neices and nephews.. (7 kids altogether) and of course out of all the kids, it's my oldest skid (10) pictured with his finger in his nose.... completly oblivious to the rest of the world. I worry if they maybe a little too sheltered about what is acceptable in public and what isn't?? Does their mom just refuse to teach them?? Of course I'm the "Step Monster" when it's always me telling them to stop stuff like that!!

Disengage???

Does anyone see any negative issues arise from disengaging?? It's only been a few weeks now that I'm making sure I make my own plans before the Skids come over for the weekend, but already I can see they're not as happy to see me. They don't go out of their way to come and say "hi" or "bye" anymore. I wonder if they can tell I don't exactly like having them around?? I've never said anything in front of them or to them....

Rough day today.... and of all days, the Step Kids are coming for the weekend.

I had a bad day today just with regular life stuff and this is the weekend we get CLs kids. I don't look forward to this day on a good day nevermind a bad one! I've actually been considering going to a hotel for the weekend. I know that's not very supportive of my CL, but I really dread spending time with his kids. On a positive note, I got a new book I'm looking forward to reading!! When his kids come, I make sure I have a book to read. That way I've found it's easier to ignore it all and do my own thing. Ignore the sticky handprints. Ignore the extra laundry and dishes.

To go back and do it again, I wouldn't do it.

I'm 29 and don't have kids. So trying to have an opinion on how my Common-Law (CL) co-parents his kids is like trying to give advice on how to fly a plane! Obviously I'm not a pilot so that's the catch. I'm not listened to. I have isssues with how things are in the house and no way of fixing them or even dealing with them. I have no friends in my situation and of course trying to talk to friends and have them understand that I hate my stepkids is even harder.
