My SIL just left for the airport after her weekend visit. As she was saying goodbye to me she said "I will be back a lot from now on." I replied. "That would be great."
LIAR!
I did stay nice the whole visit though I did get taken to a corner twice by DW asking me what was wrong. I suck as an actor.
I am celebrating here on ST because as you all know, we can't talk about step-life elsewhere. I cannot believe our good fortune!
OSD28 told DH that she and YSD26 rented an apartment in a country outside of the USA!!! And they will living there "for several months." Hurray!
Dh waited a couple of days to tell me the good news. Why not keep your spouse updated right away? No matter. I measured my reaction carefully. I said something along the lines of "Oh really?" I asked DH how he feels about it and he said he is happy about it and thinks it will be good for them.
BM started with parental alienation syndrome within 6 months of our marriage (several years ago). She initially hoped that her punishment would get us "in line" with how she wanted things to be (apparently, she would be Wife #1 and I would take the backseat, while DH would cater to "the family"), but the opposite occurred: we set boundaries and were determined to have a decent life together without toxic interference. It was not easy.
Well that didn't last long. Chef has gone creeping back to the supplier that has the accounting system from hell even though the sales person he deals with openly admitted that he almost quit due to the chaos over there.
I'm also convinced this supplier is double charging us so I will be looking at my books come January 8th.
Until they make more successive mistakes that affect Chef, he refuses to leave them and wants to give them endless chances. Something I don't get the luxury of.
My stomach is so upset by the stress caused by both SD and BM! My god is has been horrible ! Between the outburst yesterday from SD15 getting upset because we won't put DD5 on the top and allow her to sleep in the bottom bunk I am just done! Today took the cake and today DH said that's enough! We went to MiL house for her birthday party . BM was already texting DH early for a pick up time .
Hi everyone! My husband and I purchased a 4 bedroom home last year. He has SD15 and SS13 who each have their own bedroom. I am pregnant with our first ours baby who will be given the last empty room for his nursery.
After this one I know I want another baby. I am getting so much anxiety that my husband will prioritize his older kids and their "privacy" while they're here and allow them to keep their own rooms, which they spend a lot of time in. (We have them alternating between 2 and 3 days a week but they only spend the night every other Saturday.)
Yesterday evening i was outside and BM2 drove by my house very slowly. SS20 was in the front seat and they just crept by.
It has been a while since we had one those weekends with SD 15 and she is back with her attitude and entitlement in full force to disrupt whatever little peace we had ! SD has not stayed the night here in months but when she did there was never an issue and she never had a attitude like today. I was actually enjoying her being around, yea not so much now! First last night, she stuffed some spare baby blanket I put in one the spare drawers I. DD5 already stuffed PJ drawer. SD has some drawers here but not because she likes to keep clothes here to wear here.
I'm in a situation where my husband filed for divorce, I'm living in his house, and I'm not able to move out until there is a court order for spousal support. Throughout my marriage. I always felt like my husband and his daughter were too close. He always put me on the back burner, and she basically acts like his wife when she's here. I know it's not her fault, this is a parenting issue on my husband's part, but I can't help but feel resentful. I was never able to take my place as my husband's significant other/teammate because she was already standing in that spot.
SIL showed up. It is amazing how my brilliant wicked/scary smart bride instantly dumbs down her vocabulary and communication style to cater to SIL.
It is truly nauseating.
The content of discussion is amazingly brain dead. Controlling her kids crap, making decisions on their futures while setting them up for failure, etc..
And it has only been an hour and a half since they walked in from the airport.
