Having a bad day and needing some help with it
Its been one of those days where I feel like I just want to run so far away. One of those days where I think to myself...."What have I got myself into?"
Anyone on here ever have those days?
Let me tell you a little about myself. I feel that I am a responsible adult. I have went to college, recieved my Masters degree and have a career. I do not think that I got that far in life by skipping classes and being a bum. Though I do not have kids of my own I still feel as if I can baby-sit and or watch childern which my sd would fall into that catagory.
This morning I had to get up and get the sd off to cheerleading practice. Do you know that the BM called the sd 4 times in a 20 minute span to make sure she was going to make it to cheerleading practice ON TIME!
The last call the BM told the SD that she had to bring her something at practice. I AM TOTALLY FINE with that. But, why could she have not dropped it off at the house or even took the SD to practice? I guess she had to make an apperance to make it look like she had brought her. Which is fine with me because I didnt even get out of the car and could care less. She is not my kid.
But, I do not like it when people make me feel as if I cannot do something.
My husband is the same way about parenting. HE called her to see if she ate. Heck, I fed her!
Sometimes I feel as if they think I am stupid to parenting. It just upsets me.
Anyone else out there ever feel like they cant do anything right? BUT KNOW THAT THEY CAN!

May I ask how old is SD and
May I ask how old is SD and where is DH while all this is happening? I'm afraid I would tell DH or SM to do their own dirty work seeing that they don't trust your efforts as an adult! Where do these people get off with that kind of behaviour?
Oh Honey I have those days
Oh Honey I have those days all the time!
Mind you I have two children of my own, son that is 19 and daughter that is almost 15. I raised them for the most part on my own, BioDad rarely in the picture. Now my kids are very responsible my 19 year old graduate with honors when he was 16, is self sufficent and has even started his own company. My daughter is extremely responsible and mature and also at the top of her class. I am sorry but kids just dont get that way on their own it takes many years of raising them to be this way.
My DH has a 9 year old daughter when she is with me because it is our time and he is at work he will text me to see if she made it to school ok, if she has eaten, if she has been picked up from school...etc...etc...etc. BM will text my DH to remind or checking on these things having been done when I have her as well.
COME ON! REALLY!!!! I said I would do it....You can see I am capable I have done it for my own for many years and without anyone to help me.
Sometime I just want to throw up my hands and say You TWO
DO IT!
