A horrible thing happened this morning..

hismineandours's picture

I got on facebook this morning from my iphone. I looked up bm's profile. It is set to public and I creep on it every couple of weeks or so just to see what's up. She usually doesnt post a whole lot on there so it's not a big deal-but she had changed her profile pic-so I clicked on it to get a look at it and my phone is now stuck there. It is acutally hilarious theres an up close picture of the bm that is stuck on my iphone whenever I try to get on facebook!!

So how on earth do you full time stepmom's keep it going for years?

I am starting to struggle with the fact that my ss14 is just NEVER nice to me. Now, he's not screamed or cursed at me or called me filthy names. However, he does not listen to me, he does argue with me about things, and generally he just completely ignores me. In the 6 weeks he has lived here the only conversations he has intiated with me are "Where's my dad" and "Can I have a banana". It's sad really. I have a more personal relationship with the cashier at the convenience store than I do with someone who lives in my own house.

How to make these kids grow up...

Seriously. I need some advice here. My ss14 is sooo immature. It drives me nuts on a personal level and it creates all sorts of issues for him as well. And it creates issues for my dh as well. But how to go about making him act his age? This morning he was singing as he was getting ready, kicking things across the floor, dancing around, talking to himself in a baby voice. I'm like WTF? Do 14 year old boys really act this way? I have a 14 year old girl that would never do any of this stuff. My ds is 12-he would neer do that stuff nor would my 10 year old dd.

The case of the missing Nutella...

Please does anyone have a good private investigator they can recommend? I purchased a jar of Nutella the other day at the store. After the first evening home when I saw almost half the jar gone I hid it. It disappeared from its hiding spot overnight!!! I am really worried that there is some sort of Nutella thief on the loose.

Should we let bm have ss for the weekend for his bday?

OK-so some know my story some dont-but in a nutshell-my dh has always had sole custody of ss since he was an infant. However in 2007 he went to live with bm when my dh was deployed. Dh was injured in Iraq and spent several years on a wounded warrior unit and was finally released and medically discharged in May 2011. So ss ended up living with bm for 4 years or so. The initial plan was to take him back-but his behavior was soooo bad that it just didnt seem feasible immediately. A few months after dh got home,bm kicked ss out of her home for growing weed in her yard.

I'm baaaccckkkkk!

Ok-I did it. I took the dh back. He admitted he had a moment of temporary insanity-he had stopped taking his meds a couple weeks prior and was essentailly overcome with stress and had no clue what to do. He tried to find ss a place to go-bm wouldnt take him, he called 4 or 5 therapeutic boarding schools and they all want about 30,000 a year. So, yep, he's stuck with him. I again thought about whether I wanted to give up my marriage and have my kids lose their father for one punky 14 year old kid. No, not really.

I just want to say thanks for all the support you all have given...

I had been holding off on the attorney as he is saying he does not wish to divorce and truthfully as pathetic as it sounds-IF there is a way to fix it I would like to-however, after listening to your all's advice I think I will go talk to one, hoping to at least get some more information. I was thinking that I would get nothing other than my disability payment for our dd-but perhaps I am entitled to more? I dont know. He has a va payment, social security payment, and a pension payment. He makes twice as much as I do and has free health care.

Thanks so much everyone for your help over the years...

But it appears my stepmom days are coming to an end. I feel like I fought the good fight, but in the end the little bastard won. He got exactly what he's always wanted. My dh left me tonight after a 12 year relationship. He had left a couple days ago, " temporarily" to find a placement for ss. He told me just last night that he'd be home today. Well, the placement he thought he found fell thru- he talked to about 3 or 4 places and they all want 30,000 a year. I talked to him this morning and he was still on track to come home.

Ok- he HAS to be trying to get in trouble

Soo I pick up dd14 at youth grp tonite. She tells me she knows something about ss and should she tell me? Well, yeah. She said he asked a kid at school to get him some " chew" and then told the kid that he smoked weed while at his last school ( while with mil). DD has known this boy since she was 5. This boy went directly to my dd and told her- ss was looking at them across the classroom as he was telling dd. Just in case my dd decided not to tell, ss came home and immediately told my ds12 what he said.

Need ideas for backtalk...

so ss is already full on grounded. No electronics, tv, is supposed to be in his room unless eating, bathroom, or helping with some sort of chore. However, whenever I have asked him to do anything all week he argues with me. Talks back and is disrespecful. What on earth is there left to punish him with? Also he consistently comes out of his room over and over again. DH would need to sit outside his door to make him stay in there-anytime dh or myself are not looking he comes out-so THAT is not even effective.
