Free of the SD & BM this weekend :)

KJMom's picture

So happy we have a SD & BM free weekend! But what I don't get its why now 2 days before she comes back I start to get anxiety! I just want to enjoy the time without dealing with them but from years (hubby & I have been together for 9 years/married for 5 years) I just know that when she comes (SD) my whole household changes!
I wish I knew how to turn off the anxiety & enjoy the here & now a little bit more!!
I hate to wish my life away but I am sooo looking forward to 6 yrs from now when SD will be turning 18 and going AWAY to college!!!

I feel ya KJ...I always try and figure out a way that I don't have to be here when SD is.........I also count down the 6 1/2 years til she'll be 18

I do the same as both of you! Counting down the 5 years til both skids are able to be in college. I'm just afraid that they won't stop coming over! They barely ever hang out with friends now as teens, which I find odd, which leads me to think they'll be the rare couple that keep visiting dad forever! I pray this doesn't happen because I literally get heated when I know they are coming and try to find plans with someone just to be out of the house! They are here now and where am I? Upstairs in our bedroom alone. I hate their visits!

OMG, THIS IS THE SAME THING I WORRY ABOUT TOO. THE ALMOST TWENTY YR OLD IS STILL WITH US AND WANTS TO STAY FOREVER, HE IS A MOOOOOOOOOOCH REALLY BAD. THE SIXTEEN YR OLD NEVER HANGS OUT WITH FRIENDS EITHER. I THINK HE IS A WEIRDO. BE THANKFUL THEY DONT LIVE WITH YOU, THESE IMBOSILS LIVE WITH US.

I couldn't share that sentiment more. My husband worries about my anxiety. I want to tell him to get rid of the kids, but we all know that's wrong and not an option. I won't get my bp checked til I've been kid free for at least several hours.

I would LOVE to tell him to not have them visit anymore! Everything would just be soo much better in our lives. Our relationship is perfect when they're not around but when they are, I just cringe and there's so much tension. He wants me to constantly be with them when they visit but it just makes me even more unhappy.

I don't know what I would do if they lived with us! Well actually I do- I wouldn't be here! There's no way in hell I could live with them. Them being here every other weekend is painful enough.

AWWWW, the group i belong in!!!!

i HATE when it's skid visit time...... eow, ewed, & eotuesday.... seems like all the fucking time........ we live 45 mins away from BM --- so i always try to plant the seed, "gosh, it sucks having to get up so early to go to school --- what time do you have to get up at home?" but so far schedule hasn't changed.... i mean really, get up early to go to school, get home later to do homework, eat and go to bed --- WTF?

eow would still suck, but tons better than what we got now..... side note, DH didn't add the extra eot until after we were married, so i TOTALLY hate that day........

That's why I love visiting this site- to get a laugh once in a while but mostly to see that I'm not alone in how I feel! Being a stepparent isn't something anyone really wants to do- its just thrown at us when we end up loving someone with a huge past before us. Ugghh what I wouldn't do to change some things!
