I am really starting to hate the wkds that my skids come over. The weekday over nights are fine but the all wkd thing is starting to annoy me. Unlike a lot of the posts on here where the DH thinks his kids can do no wrong and they are treated like royality, we have a different situation. SS’s drive DH insane. He gets so annoyed with them not listening or following the rules but than I get his attitude!!! Then the second they leave, we are back to our loving home without them and no fights or attitudes!!!

Here is what happened the past 2 wkds. Our schedule has been off this month due to special circumstances on our end as well as BM, so we’ve had the kids 2 wkds back to back and then one wk off and then again 2 wkds in a row. I sell Pampered Chef on the side for some extra income, I purposely schedule shows on the wkds we have them, b/c quite honestly, its an excuse to get out without me saying, they are getting on my f’in nerves. I’ve had two shows the past 2 wkds. DH was stuck home with them and when I get home, happy that I just made some $$$, he has an attitude with me when I asked him a simple question. So then we end up just not talking b/c I’m NOT going to deal with his attitude IF I’m not the one that did a thing to him. Then he will tell me that they have been so bad and aren’t listening and he’s tried this and that. Saturday was my breaking point and I told him that I’m sick of getting the grunt of his attitude when HIS kids are HIS issue!!

I hate saying this but I really wish he didn’t have them. They have caused so many issues. They think we are rich b/c we live in a single family home and I drive a sports car. BM lives in a 2 BD apartment with b/f and his two kids with them as well. Her car was repo’d and she drives a clunker. We are not rich by any means. We budget our money and considering he pays her almost one whole check, we are far from rich!! So when they are with us, they ask us for toys and this and that. We went shopping for a new TV, that we can only get b/c of tax money and they want one for their room. They sure as hell aren’t getting one when we don’t have a flat screen in our room. SS8 wants an Iphone b/c we both have one and goes on and on about it. He has to be out of his mind. He can get a phone when his ass gets a job!! I know kids have no concept of money but its so annoying b/c they only ask us for things!! I feel like we are the bank for them!! And when they don’t listen, I don’t want to give them jack shit!!!

I love my DH more than anything and more than I ever thought I could love someone. The wkds where it is just us is near perfect. We don’t fight, we laugh the whole time and really enjoy ourselves. The second the skids come into place, is the second everything changes and I am starting to not stand the time with them.
