Im a step mom to my fiances 4 and 6 yr old boys. There moms a deadbeat wack job. We are trying to get custody of them, but don't have enough money to keep up to the court costs, she gets everything paid for because shes on government assistance (no job, no high school degree, no drivers licence {we believe, even our lawyer she only in it for the money}).
She even told us we could have them if they lived closer.
Shes trying to take my fiance to the cleaners (they were never married), she left him.
She was the one cheating on him, back in the day.

She loves them yes but she also likes the money they bring in for her.
Both boys are behind in school, and act like they are 2 not almost 5 and 7.
They came not knowing how to write their names, basic reading skills,numbers or their alphabet, behind on their shots, very sexual,not having basic bathroom skills, acting like babies,spoiled, no rules and wouldnt eat anything but junk food/ take out, they are very embarassing in public they just seam to fly off the handle as soon as we go out.

Over the past year of them living with us, life has gotten so stressful, lots of up and downs.
We were only suppose to have then for the summer, until my fiancce decided he wanted them because they were being neglected, shoved around from place to place to stay because mom didn't want them at home, missing lots of school, dirty and unkept.

Now here we are living together in our house at the end of the line.
The boys mom will probably hav them back when school ends.
Over the past year we've taken them to do sooo much stuff they probably would have never got to do with mom, we've tought them their alphabet, gave them social skills, the 6 yr old can read and write now he loves math ect, we've come a far way with them education wise. Before Christmas break we were all so close and happy (for the most part). Until they went to moms for 14 days they came home so hatful and negative, saying they hate us and hate living with us and just down right rude.
She tought them to lie, about really obserd things & hate me.
They just recenly went to her house for the long weekend and now our 4 year old is telling me he hates me and he doesn't want to live here and I'm mean and he loves mom and dad more.
Its all so frustgrating because we've changed them to be smarter and better kids, done so much for them and gave them eerything, and now she has managed to turn both of them against me. I tried my best and everybody tells me I've done an excellent job because the way these boys are and were most of them would hace ran the other way very fast.
I hate being a step mom to these kids, and now that we can't afford to keep fighting for them Im just getting happier that they will be gone soon, Im sick of them being so rude and hatefull and BAD and disrespecting me and my fiance at times because their mom is teisted and has minipulated them to act like little retards. Im at my ends witts and just can't wait go get married and have our kids and live our lives without them.
As I told my fiance once they are gone they arent welcome back because their real mom messes them up so bad and teaches them to be so bad their visits will no longer be enjoyable.
Ive come to the point where Im counting down the days till they are gone,thinking about how I can re-decorate their rooms and move on with our lives, I've never seen such troubled childen in my life.
Thanks for listening.
