It's not fair!

This comes out of SD14's mouth a LOT! I use to tell her "You and SD17 are two different people", but truth be told, it's NOT fair.

When I decided to disengage, I only disengaged from SD17. For some reason, DH will talk to me and take my advice and allow me to help raise SD14, but not SD17. SD14 knows this, and is fine with it because she knows the benefits of me being involved. However, it really isn't fair.

The things these BM's do...

SD6 came home this morning wearing a padded bra! SHE IS 6!!! She is so excited about this, but I am livid! Who buys their 6yo a bra? About 6 or so months ago SD6 asked me to buy her a bra...I didn't feel comfortable doing this (because of her age) so DH and I decided to buy her some "undershirts" (they look like bras but are not). She was very pleased with these and they did the trick. BM decided to get her a "big girl bra" and now she is wearing a real bra!?!?!?! How do I explain to her she is too young? HELP!!!

I thought I was just paranoid!

What is it with skids and their unnatural (and highly irritating) attatchment to DH's? I thought that I was just being paranoid but after reading many posts on here, it seems that we can't all just be being paranoid, this must be a real problem! My SD is overly clingy to DH, in an unnatural, unusual and almost sickening manner. It's unhealthy and makes me uncomfortable. She watches his every move, wants to be on him (not near him, on him) at all times and cries when the other kids call him daddy and says "he's my daddy, not yours" Why are skids like that?

Yay, flu time!

So we had SD4 this weekend. BM sent her over with the flu! I'm horrified by this because I don't want my children to get the flu! My children (BS6, BD2 and BS7 months) are scheduled for flu shots in 2 weeks, so aren't yet protected from it and I'm angry that BM would be dumb enough to infect my toddler and infant with a potentially fatal sickness for their age group! I don't understand why she refuses to keep SD home when she is sick! She doesn't work, so getting sick for her shouldn't be a problem. EVERY time we have SD she is sick.

Things are going good right now....... Praying nothing is up her sleeve!!!!!

Things are going wonderful right now. Every since the court case in September things have been great between DH and BM and the rest of the family.

Why could it have not been like this before court and having the judge threaten her with taking away SD if she continues her bullcrap. It was not necessary! I guess it was brought home more so cause she took us to court to try and take joint custody and visitation from DH and make me look like a child abuser.

always thinking about things!

tougher than I thought's picture

In my blended family marriage I have never felt comfortable with decisions I make. If I get onto the Skids about something I think is wrong it seems to cause problems with wife later on during arguments or she’ll say I treat my BS different of course I disagree. Like I said before my wife has never and does not communicate to me about issues or expectations. The only way I find out what she’s thinking is through arguments. She approaches everything like this i.e. I had the 2 skids 10 and 7 and our own son we had together 3 this pat Saturday.
