We get the 2 boys all weekend. This time I am really not looking forward to it. Guess I'll be playing my iPod and cleaning all weekend. Just so I don't have to listen to the bickering and whining.

OMG !!! I sooo do not miss the skids visiting at the weekends. DH wanted downtime from his job, plus at the time money was real tight, so we couldn't go out both days, eat out, etc. I remember being soo stressed. Do you get that feeling that you don't feel normal, you know destressed until like Wednesday ??? Then by Thursday, the stress begins to build again .....what a viscious circle!!! Of course, I was cooking, cleaning too during these restful weekends!!! Arghhhh !!!

I have to say I am a bit taken back by these comments. I am new to the site and do not know the entire stories......However when you married your spouses you knew there were children involved correct? I am a step mom and a bio mom, and if i thought that my kids step-mother felt like this about my children....there is no way in heck i would let them or make them go stay at BD's house. Yes step kids can be difficult, but so can bio kids. They are kids....and maybe they can feel the attitude and that is why things are so difficult. I feel bad for your spouse if he know this is how you feel, he prob. feels like he has to choose. I dont want to be mean but you sound very selfish!!!! Maybe you should find somewhere else to go on the weekends they are there so they can enjoy their father and not have someone pouting and listening to their I-Pod and cleaning. Maybe try playing a game with them or doing something fun....rather than being so negative???? just my thoughts!!!!!

Perhaps listening to her iPod and cleaning keeps her from outwardly showing her disdain for the bickering and whining children.

I feel bad for your children that you would keep them away from their father because of spite. They are kids. They would probably feel like they have to choose.

Just my thoughts!!!!!

Actually he knows how I feel. He also knows it too shall pass. My son does not have siblings to rival with so I spent 8 years with no sibling bickery. We were both expecting at least 1 weekend for ourselves. Somehow, someway it did not happen. I really do like having them 75% of the time it is the other 25% when I am at work and their squabbling tends to interrupt client calls, concentration, etc.

Just would prefer they don't arrive during my working hours.

HOWEVER... I would never deny hubby the time he gets with the boys.

Just a vent and not something I would ever not try to get over or through.

Im not taking sides, but my sd treats me terrible and I have NEVER done anything but be nice to that child. I want the best for her, but sometimes it is nice to come on here and blow off steam....just saying!
