Boundaries?

I'll save the dramatic backstory and just ask my immediate question - anyone else out there been asked to attend every one of their step kid's functions with DH & BM? Does anyone do that or feel like that's necessary? Literally the only time my DH takes off from work or does anything "extra" is for a SK sporting event every other weekend. Is this normal? Do you guys get THAT involved - especially with BM at every event? Apparently if DH goes to all of these events with me and my kid, he'll feel less stressed and less torn between families and therefor will be nicer to me.

Hi again. Second entry.

It's Friday. :(

It's Friday. The kids come today. This fills me with dread.

Most of the time they do not acknowledge me. When they do speak to me it is sometimes with disdain and disrespect (something they learned from thier dad). When my husband does not correct them I have to step in and do it myself.

I've asked him to stand up for me. To this he replies "I only have a few days with them a month, I can't discipline them. You should support me in that."
