Just another day in paradise

Today I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed until about 2pm. No, I'm not lazy. I could hear the younger of my two stepsons pitching a fit and being ugly to his brother just as soon as I opened my eyes. I just didn't have it in me today to deal with it anymore. When I did get up, it was because I heard a knock at the door, and against household rules, the youngest had opened the door wide for whoever it was that happened to be out there. Luckily, it was another child coming to see if our boys wanted to come out and play.

Heaven help us with our youngest.

Okay. This seems, initially, like it will be both a relief and difficult to face. It's one thing to have thoughts and feelings, but it is a completely different thing to own those thoughts and feelings by putting them into words.

My fiance's 2 boys came to live with us two years ago. I love both boys to death, but our younger one is making everyone in our family miserable. My fiance's relatives have all asked me how I handle the youngest, and they have also admitted that they have never cared to be around him. It makes me sad for everyone involved, but they are justified.
