nothing to do with being a step, just general frustration...

Just venting here, nothing at all to do with my ss11 really. He was actually pretty good yesterday, even after his dad called and said he wouldn't be picking him up until this afternoon rather than last night. Normally that blows the whole night/day/weekend/whatever, but last night he was OK. I hope one day he sees that I have never missed a football game, basketball game, school activity, always kept my plans if we made them... even when working 7 days a week 12++ hours a day.

Yesterday I made a conscious decision that I was going to go home with a clean slate. My wife and I have been irritated, frustrated and tired for weeks, and I figured I would go home after work and we could all start off fresh. In addition to ss11's attitude, constant arguing, moping, and laziness our 3mo old daughter has not been sleeping well at all... but I was determined to start over for all of us.

I have a lot going on, a lot my wife and I are working through. Its not like we're struggling with our relationship, our marriage is very strong. We have a lot of stress, as individuals and as a married couple. We both agree that one if our biggest sources of stress is my step son. He's NOT a bad kid. He is very kind-hearted, very sweet, ver/y fun loving. But he's also very immature/childish, very lazy, helpless, etc... he argues with everybody about everything most of the time.
