Please help me with a tough situation

My 15 year old step son is deliberately mean to me. It doesn't matter what I do, he is disrespectfull. It is usually only when his dad is not around, but the other night his dad saw it first hand, and during the "fight" disucussion, the stepson said that he couldn't wait to see his mom because they laugh all the way to school about me. Now I know for a fact, this is true, because his younger sister said it was and she hasn't entered the lie to us stage yet. Do I address this issue with her, how can he respect me if his mom has no respect for me.

The stepfamily saga is no more on Desperate Housewives!...and my reaction....

The stepfamily saga is no more on Desperate Housewives! Carolyn found out that her husband had been cheating on her so she went to his grocery store to “send him to be with Monique” (who is now dead). Lynette and Nora were in the grocery store and among the hostages. Nora started talking to Lynette about her “trying to take her daughter away” b/c Lynette and Tom had begun action to sue Nora for custody of Kayla. Carolyn, the gunwoman, heard them talking and questioned why they were making noise when she’d instructed them to be quiet.

Biomom is evil .....

Okay Monday morning venting. I've been holding back for a week now and am just about to blow. We've not seen or heard from the kids all week since the big blow out on Friday before Halloween or so I thought...Had a big discussion with BF on Friday because I was feeling like an outsider and wanted to be more involved and I wanted him to know that when he keeps things from me or doesn't explain why he deals with BM and skids the way he does that it really hurts me and leaves me in the dark.

Irresponsible X's

Pick-up time was 6:20 Friday evening....he shows up at 7:50. He just decided to go elsewhere and show up whenever...

Daughter called him at 7:00..he went home afterwork instead picking them up..and lied to her (he'd been good lately) about the pickup time...(sound familiar Dawn)....

He even asked my daughter when she called at 7:00 "ARe you Mad??!!"

He knew he was irresponsible and was pissing us all off?!!

miserable.

I am a step parent to 2 boys 13 and 9. When I first met my husband of 2 years now I thought that I would be able to handle it. The boys are also from different mothers. So there are 2 ex wives involved. Now that we have our own children 15 months and 3 months things have just gotten to complicated. I feel such strong resentments against his other kids that it is totally consuming me. I am this horrible person that I don't even know. I feel selfish and I am angry all the time.

Clothes issue with teenage skids particularly girls

Cindy's picture

My SD and I have an on again off again relationship depending on whether she gets what she wants or not or whether BM fills her head with crap. I've always taken her shopping something BM does rarely because it seems to be a common interest for both of us. Over this past year I have bought her numerous clothes, some expensive, some not but all very fashionable trendy items which she loves to wear. The problem started when she decided that she'd wear all the stuff we buy her to her mom's and then replenish at our house when we next go shopping. This does not fly with me.

Does anyone have an ex husband that introduces the children to new girls often?

I am getting concerned about this? Should I be? My 2 boys have been introduced to 3 or 4 girl friends since end of August. two of them he took away with on weekends with the boys, and another one they were going to her cottage after he got back from going away with one of the other ones....I don't understand why he is doing this. Our boys are 10 and 6.

Holidays

A friend of mine sent me this today & it made me laugh. She was working on a project and was asking a writer friend for a positive, warm fuzzy definition of holidays & this is what she got.

holidays -- that time of year when you spend money you don't have, on people you don't like, for stuff that they will never use.

What does this mean?

We receieved a letter in the mail today from our lawyer and since we have not been to court yet to settle child support issues because my sd just moved back with her mom the letter is stating that they want temporary child support how can they ask for this if they dont know what our income is?Could they ask for an amount that we just cant afford so if we have to do this do we have to put all of our expenses aside and pay this amount until we come in front of a judge.Also my husband is a subcontracter so his income varies all the time how does this work?
