Gross, Dirty, or Downright Weird?

TwoOfUs's picture

After reading a certain incredibly depressing blog post from a guy who is just convinced that his perfect-angel, model stepchild 8-year-old daughter would be "appreciated and enjoyed" by thousands of hot, loving, child-free women in the world...everyone EXCEPT his current fiance, in fact. And after this guy, who got some really thoughtful and insightful advice and insights into how his fiance may be feeling...then called everyone here on steptalk vitriolic evil stepmoms and grown babies spewing dislike for children...without displaying an ounce of understanding or empathy for any of it...

Well. The whole scene was just too depressing for words and made me doubt humanity in general and the plight of woman specifically and I'm stuck in a hotel with not enough to do while DH is out on business...so I need something to lighten the mood a little bit.

Since we're going to be called hateful and clove-hoofed no matter what we do...let's just go ahead and talk about those angel skids for a bit. Are yours Gross, Dirty, or Downright Weird? What are the strangest things you've had to deal with when it comes to skids? Grossest or weirdest habits? Here are mine:

OSD: Used to have whatever that OCD thing is where she picked at her face all the time...particularly her acne...so I was constantly sweeping up little bits of bloody, dried skin from my floors. Squirreled food away in her room and hid it places, so I was constantly finding gross, moldy and deteriorating food everywhere. Once, when she was home alone, threw out every bit of food I had in my pantry and freezer because she was worried it was "bad" - this included a full ribeye roast I had just bought and lots of expensive health items like organic almond flour, etc. Played with her food obsessively at the dinner table. And, the hilarious thing about it is...I honestly wouldn't have minded most of this at all if she had just been the slightest bit kind...heck, I would have taken civil.

SS: Also used to hoard food...would play with his food so bad at the table that it always looked like a tornado had hit only at his place setting. DH used to call it 'crumbling' - as in: "SS! STOP crumbling your food!" Because that's literally what he would do...just sit there absent-mindedly crumbling any dry food to bits between his two fingers. Would also absent-mindedly twirl his hair while watching TV. Just kind of entitled and annoying in general these days...but that's not really a habit. Was a terrible student and a horrible liar as a child/teen. Now just kind of know-it-all/obstinate but also expects the world to hand him everything.

YSD: Probably the best one...but sucked her thumb until she was 13 or 14. Used to call her dad Bae and act way too clingy with him (the first issue I posted about on steptalk, actually), just too big for her britches with weird slang and also kind of childlike and babyish at the same time.

I think ALL three of my skids are fairly entitled and overindulged, in general. OK. So how about you. Weirdest skid moment or habit?

Oh. Is that wrong? I used to do this...and then make veggie soup for my skids while DH and I ate steak. Is that bad?

LMAO

TwoOfUs's picture

lol.

OK. I had fun with the last Expert post I commented on & the swimming pool stuff. She's obviously a joke poster, right?

TwoOfUs's picture

Alright, then. That's what happened with the pool post, but I haven't found the will to dive into this one, yet.

My SS15 obsessively sniffs his hands. It's part of his autism styming but it weirds me out to no end to see him sniffing his hands and fingers.

TwoOfUs's picture

Me too, lol!

LF - I do not envy you. Except that you got to have a yours baby. I get to deal with all this skid nonsense without even having that consolation...:-/

Two - you're on...

I only have one special snowflake princess......

Aergia, came the teen girl years , she moved back to SO, before I moved out... I noticed that this girl does not have a clue how to handle her monthly Granma from Russia visit.... I asked her and she explained how to deal with it, same words my Gran told my Mum, who told me... so nothing funny, girl knows what to do when and how...

used pads all over the house, sometimes just like that or sometimes still in smeared stained panties, she only started keeping it in her room when SO stepped in one, this was age 14..... before hand if I said anything I was the evil bitch

age 15 - fund a vibrator in SO's bathroom after she was suppose to be with BM for the week-end but stayed home alone..
the size of the thing :? guess she was pleasuring an elephant cow...

age 15 - she started smelling like rotten fish... would go out with a friend, come home the next morning, make up all over her face, cloths inside out.. by lunch time.. yeah you get that fishy smell... she walked pass SO one evening in butt shorts and he asked what's that awe full smell.. she replied my feet... :?

week later SO had to pick up something for her at the pharmacy and he asked me what's this for... I blushed and explained..... yeas the heaviest vaginal treatment you can get here for yeast infection.... He asked me if the doctor made a mistake maybe cause his daughter is to young... I simply said.. it helps for smelly feet as well... the look on his face priceless....

age 16 she left her handbag on the dining room table, with 2 used condoms and some news paper pieces obviously used to wipe... and a gstring in her bag... SO wanted his credit card and she said - in the bag on the dining room table...

that's enough for today

Acratopotes's picture

she's 18 now... and still leaves her tampons and panties all over her bathroom floor and room floor...

TwoOfUs's picture

Guh-ROSS!

And I think it's bad that my SD17 will leave hers perched on top of an already mostly full bathroom trashcan without any wrapping or anything. Like...can she not notice the trash is mostly full and take it out with her/replace the liner? Or at least bury her business a little better or wrap it up? I have to gingerly take out the trash, hoping the top contents don't "shift" while I'm doing so.

Disgusting.

Acratopotes's picture

Aergia has her own bathroom.... I do not have to deal with it and I instructed the maid to leave it as is, after Aergia complained to SO for the 10th time that my made stole something....

Now the maid is not allowed in Aergia's room or bathroom..... maid never stole anything... Aergia looses shit in her room between all the half eaten plates of food and bugs crawling around in her room, she gave a murderers scream one day... due to worms on her bed.... SO went to look, I refused... he brought it down - maggots I kid you not...

Acratopotes's picture

I don't I moved out lol... have my own house.... and just put that house in the market cause gave SO the option, buy me out or we sell...

Acratopotes's picture

he's living in our house....... about 5min from my house,

he could not afford his house after the divorce and I bought 50% to ensure he's not on the streets... all legal of course, like a business transaction, I use to rent out mine and lived with him... till 5 years ago

Are you sure she's not brain damaged??

I believe I need to start counting my lucky stars!

Acratopotes's picture

JustAG - I though we agreed I'm shipping her over to you for the holidays :? :?

nope she's not brain damaged... or wait she is, cause she grew up and the word NO is not part of her upbringing, not the word self respect

TwoOfUs's picture

I should mention - these behaviors I've mentioned were NOT from kids who were 6 or 7. I came into their lives at 8, 10, and 12 and DH and I got married and moved in together when they were 10, 12, and 14...and I really did have that first year "honeymoon" period where we all got along...so these were pre-teen and teen behaviors by the time I started taking not and realizing what I was in for...

Ninji's picture

My SD pooped and peed her pants and just sat in the mess until she was almost 11. She's 13 now and actually a pretty great kid. She does lie a lot but I think that's because DH and BM are always telling her to lie to the other parent. It's ingrained in her now.

SS - Just to name a few things

Killed a frog one time because he thought it would make him feel better
Multiple times has thrown chairs at teachers
Choke a girl because she wasn't listening to him talk
Cried his eyes out because he missed is great grandparents - people that died before he was born
Yelled at DH and I a few years ago on Christmas morning that we had better not have started opening gifts without him
Multiple times has stolen food and drinks from teachers
Told his teacher that DH called him a stupid jerk all the time (he has never done this)

And so so much more

TwoOfUs's picture

Whoa.

See. Now my food crumbling and face picking and thumb sucking sound downright wholesome and sweet.

OSD was really dark and twisted, though. Once, I discovered a Tumblr open on my computer after I let her use it. I thought it was just a Tumblr she was looking at, and I found that disturbing enough...but then I discovered it was actually HER Tumblr. Full of pictures of mostly naked women with antlers on their heads and draped sheer fabrics dancing together in the woods...or dancing with stags...lots of ritual sacrifice kind of stuff...wiccan stuff...and tons of "thinspo" (that's short for "thinspiration" - basically artsy photos of bony, bony women that girls with eating disorders use to motivate them...)

Anway. Yeah...she was a dark soul but seems to have come out of it OK.

TexasPickles's picture

Public service message....Wiccans don't perform sacrifices. Thank you.

TwoOfUs's picture

I was listing those as two separate things. She had both kinds of images on her Tumblr...along with a lot of death imagery...anime...and some cute Japanese stuff.

While cleaning out the spare room I found a shoe box full of crusty used condoms. I mean why use a garbage can when you can save them :sick:

Ninji's picture

Years ago, my parents were having septic issues and called a company out to take a look. Turns out my brother had been flushing condoms down the toilet and it was LOADED with them. :sick: :sick:

Acratopotes's picture

well it's safer having your used condoms in a box in your room, then trashing it, cause who knows what crazy SD might be taking your sperm and suing you for CS....

and if you flush it down the toilet - you are actually drowning your kids.... it's better to let them go slowly suffocating and drying out... but heck - you buried them in your closet... that must count for something

still learning's picture

So these were from the SS's. Thank Goddess there is no SD!

Y'know I kind of wondered if there was some contest going on to see which SS could fill their shoe box the fastest. Anyway it was horrifying to say the least. I started yelling for DH to get in here right now. He got to look in the box and see just how darling his sons are. He also got to bag the box, carry it to the trash and sterilize the closet it was in.

Tuff Noogies's picture

thank GOD the boys are not gross. for the most part, although kaos pushes the limits often... he luuuuurves hacking up loogies, not only every time he brushes his teeth (apparently spitting like a normal person is not good enough to get the toothpaste out? and rinsing is not an option??) but also all over the back deck or front porch (YES dh crawls his @$$ each and every time. kaos doesn't give a $#!t), and in the shower.

also while in the shower he used to blow his nose onto the shower wall. then as he got older it quite likely ended up being mixed with *ahem* other bodily fluids. :sick: :sick: :sick:

he also likes to fart, which i simply do not find amusing. some people do, but neither dh nor i do. the other night while standing RIGHT NEXT TO ME TO MY LEFT and talking to dh, he lifted his right leg and blew one out. i almost went psychotic. "what? i didn't mean to, it just came out!" "DUDE YOU FREAKING LIFTED YOUR LEG AND PUSHED IT OUT AS HARD AND AS LONG AS YOU COULD - 'DIDN'T MEAN TO', MY @$$!"

he'll do gross things like foam up his saliva, get it all over his lips and let it run down his chin. instead of blowing his nose he'll hock it up into his head with a giant, drawn out snort.

neither oss nor lurch ever did anything like this. the worst lurch will do is have his hands down his pants while talking to dh or i.

i do feel blessed that this is the grossest i can say about them!!!!!!

Tuff Noogies's picture

guppies - he's already on one. and flonase.

he's just a young teen boy who has a fascination with bodily functions and/or fluids. meh. totally not my cuppa'tea, and dh was never like that either. however gross i do find it, at least it's a normal "boy thing" - and not nasty-disgusting-weird, like "too lazy to go $#!t while playing video games so i'll $#!t my pants and smoosh around in it for hours" or "checking out step-mom porn" type of gross....

Acratopotes's picture

oh dear dog NO.... this might be the future... I would immediately wonder who's the baby daddy

Acratopotes's picture

seriously.... I mean seriously.... or you are very young and grew up in a closet or I'm a wild child...

have you ever seen what strippers do with scarfs...

Acratopotes's picture

you just had to go there lol...... I was thinking of Cookies as well with this post..

her pant shitting SS with SM porn fetish lol

Acratopotes's picture

I'm not an evil SM.......

weird things done by my own BIO....

Dead bugs and frogs and lizards in his room before age 10......
oh and a poison snake they caught in the river in a bottle with holes in the lid

farting in his sleep that you need a knife to cut through the air trying to get him awake in the mornings...

catching his farts and throw it under my nose....

lift his leg and farts with a lighter to see a huge blow torch flame - till he burned his leg..

covering himself in mud and ow dung and running around like a crazy thing chasing Granny on the farm

loosing his bicycle under his bed and only found it when I threatened with death that he should clean his room

fine fine it was all before he turned 12...

Acratopotes's picture

yes the whole one..... but remember he was 6 thus the thing was not very big hahahahaha

Tuff Noogies's picture

i know some people thought the poster was fake, but i was always entertained by the stories of potato, with her utter laziness, referring to herself as "potato", her dragging herself through spinning like a blob on a bike, and to top it all, the furry porn!!!!

Acratopotes's picture

hehehehe yes I know .....

how people could think she's fake is beyond me she was here for over a year.....

but it's going good with her and DH

Pharlap's picture

and she posted photos. I do wonder how Jasper is doing nowadays. Last I heard she and SO had split.

TwoOfUs's picture

Love it.

The absolute worst thing I ever did as a SM was block YSD from texting my DH for a day...then I felt guilty and undid it. I was just getting so tired of all the late-night texts from her...like 15 in a row...ding, ding, ding. Mostly just dumb memes and GIFs with Ha! or Awwwwwww from SD.

It was weird and it made me feel like another woman was texting my DH at midnight or later...even though I knew it was SD.

Anyway...she was like 15 and 16 when this was going on and DH would text her back once for every 8-10 texts she sent him. I asked and asked him to tell her she can't text after 10 pm...that it's rude. So I just went into our account and blocked her number from texting DH(but not from calling). DH didn't even notice that the nightly texts didn't come through that night. Then, I felt bad about it the next day and reversed it. Thankfully, SD grew out of this phase recently.

Thats gross, Im a bit messy but I at least dont do THAT stuff. Also all I got from that was she called her dad Bae. Lmao! But my SS eats ranch straight from the bottle, like his ahole dad.

TwoOfUs's picture

I know!!

Did you see how fast he whipped out the "E" word?!?! My favorite was when he mentioned his co-worker who just adores his widdle angel! What a naive buffoon.

My SS11 wipes his butt after he uses the bathroom and, instead of throwing it in the toilet and flushing it,
he will throw it in the trash can next to the toilet. Numerous times I have walked into the bathroom and was instantly
hit in the face with the smell of crap. The first time it happened, I had no idea what was creating the smell,
but after investigating, I saw the poop-stained toilet paper in the trash can. No matter how often I throw a
fit, or make his dad tell him to stop doing that, the kid still doesn't understand the concept that you don't wipe your butt and throw
it in the open garbage can next to the toilet. I mean, NASTY! And neither one of my stepsons know how to aim when they pee.
Pee on the floor, on the back of the toilet, wherever. The toilet and area around it has to be cleaned daily.

SS11 also still sucks his thumb and will not eat anything for dinner except bologna and
chicken nuggets. And he talks in a baby voice and acts like a 4 year old instead of a 5th grade boy.

SS11 and SS14 share a room, and it is a collection of chip bags, candy wrappers and moldy food stuffed under their bed, in the corners and in the closet, and their floor is littered with water bottles and soda cans. They don't know what a trash can is. Well, except for throwing crap-stained toilet paper in.

thisisnotmocking's picture

Toilet paper in the trash can could come from habit if he lives in a house with an older septic system.

stressed72's picture

I actually tried removing the trash can once, and he apparently didn't wipe at all. He also never flushes
his crap (forgot to mention that) and leaves the seat up for all to see. The time I removed the trash can,
I saw his unflushed business and there was no toilet paper in the toilet or anywhere else around the
toilet for that matter. :sick:

stressed72's picture

I swear, since they moved in, I didn't realize how often I would feel sick to my stomach.
I also didn't know such gross, disgusting habits existed until I was graced with their presence
(especially the younger one).

stressed72's picture

Between the nasty bathroom and the food left in their room, I am not surprised either.
My house has never been so dirty...ever. I am a clean freak, so all of this is very
disturbing and stomach-turning to me.

Acratopotes's picture

Acra on board with her bleach - make sure skid is not there cause he will never be the same when I'm done with him...

if I have to touch some one else discarded bodily fluids I go into vomit over drive... I will make them clean it with my whip.... sorry I just can't stand bad smells.. that's why there was air freshener attached to Aergia's door, every time she opened her door it sprayed... at least SO ensured she kept her door closed at all times... think he was afraid the cat will get lost

TwoOfUs's picture

Gross!!!

I traveled to the Dominican Republic in high school to help out building/renovating an orphanage...we were all staying at a couple houses of wealthy people in the area who were donating this land for the school/orphanage. The systems there can't handle TP, even in the nice homes, so everyone throws it away in the trash. I was so mortified by the idea of someone else having to deal with my pee and poop that I carried a box of Ziplocs in my big purse everywhere I went and put my TP in there...throwing it out back at the big construction dumpster at the work site each morning....figured no one would find it there...lol

stressed72's picture

In reply to earlier comment about maybe it's a habit because he was used to an older septic tank:
I could understand that, but this is my house he moved into two years ago, and it is on a septic system, but it's not that old.
I have lived in the house for 15 years, and my daughter and I always flushed toilet paper with no issues.
Where SS lived before with his dad since he was born didn't have a septic system. They were on sewer, so I have no
clue where he picked up this habit. Maybe he flooded a toilet once and is afraid he will do it again?

TwoOfUs's picture

Ha!

That is one way to look at it. I've also read studies saying that perpetually late people are just naturally more optimistic, so they misjudge time/think they can get more done in the time they have than they actually can...

Of course...this is probably just one subset. It sounds more like your SD just doesn't care to be on time at all...like, is REALLY late a lot. The chronic optimists are the ones who are always...like 5-7 minutes late and they can get better at judging time and leaving more room for themselves. I don't think there's any hope for someone who just doesn't care to be on time Beee
