SD19 is pregnant

Welp, add me to the list.  SD19 is 10 weeks pregnant.  I'm going to be a Nain!
Yep, I've already picked out my name.  My great grandmother was a Nain and I'm going to be one too.  It's Welsh for Grandma.
Her boyfriend of not even 2 years is 25.  We all think he's on the spectrum of some sort, he's an odd duck.  They just moved in together at the beginning of the month.
She had a BC implant, but had it taken out in MARCH.  So her protests of it not being planned seem a little hollow, I call it accidentally on purpose getting pregnant.

The HOARDING never stops!

Hello!  I don't post much, but this hoarding business has put me over the TOP!  SS17 is autistic, high-functioning.  He has come a LONG way in the 10+ years that I've known him.  I thought I'd never be able to leave him alone in a room, forget about a date-night, but all that has changed, thank goodness!  He is doing OK in school, his IEP is still in effect, but he has "graduated" from many of the steps/goals that he has been given and is right on track to graduate in 2023 and start his automotive program at our local community college.  I trust him to watch/feed the dogs, do various chores

Holiday selfishness

This kid, I swear.....I want to hug him one minute and punt kick him in the butt the next.
SS17, on the autistic spectrum, high functioning, but still just DOES NOT GET IT.
He approached DH last week showing him a link on Amazon with something he wanted to get his sister for Christmas. DH says "that's nice" and SS says he's going to send DH the link. Whatever for, SS?
So after several back and forth painful questions of why all this was needed, and SS NEVER at any point ASKED for anything....
SS17: I need you to order it

Hello fellow steppers! I haven't posted in a LONG time, not that it means that there's no drama/excitement.....
SS17 - high-functioning autistic - got his FIRST job this summer at a local sandwich shop. He was so proud and we were proud of him! He only worked a few hours a week, since they have band practice/camp over the summer and he usually visits his BM on weekends. He got this job through the Special Education program at his school.
When school started he worked even less, but it didn't bother him. At this point, he had never been late or missed a shift.

Goodness, I’ve been on this board for almost 8 years!!
I googled “I hate my stepdaughter” back in 2013 and here I am! It was the oldest SDthen13 to which I was referring. She is now SD22 and we get along fine. I’m not very involved, but we are cordial and kind to each other. We remember each other’s birthdays and so forth.

SD17 still failing!!!!

Been a LONG time steppers!!!! Read a lot, hardly post. Current situation….FDH is now DH as of this summer! It’s been 10 years in the making. Just the 2 of us, we managed to travel to a lovely beachy area in between major Covid outbreaks and have our wedding/honeymoon.
SD22 is engaged to her high school sweetheart, graduated cosmetology school and is working, but finishing up school this year and starting a new career was exceptionally hard because of the Covid so she is struggling, but getting along OK.

SD16 pre-failure to launch

SD16 has always been the most “normal” one out of the 3 skids (SD21, SD16, SS15). SD21 was diagnosed ODD as a kid and she was a HANDFUL. She was the main reason I wouldn’t cohabitate with FDH and waited until she launched. I can tolerate SD21 in small doses, she has gotten much better as she grew up.
SS15 is high-functioning autistic. He has been doing much better in school and at home recently.

It's so gross....how can you NOT care?????

I get to add another disgusting hygiene SD story to the many already on this site, yay me!
Laundry is one of my chores. It's my chore zen. I stopped doing SD16's laundry almost 2 years ago because of the nasty period/poo panties, failure to put clothes in the bin, and leaving her socks and panties all balled up with her pants.
I have also stopped telling her to do laundry because she is 16 friggin years old and I'm done.
It has been at least a month since she has done laundry. I try not to think about it. Gross.
