My 15 year old daughter came and lived with us about 3 months ago. She failed her 9th grade year while living with her mom. Her mom says she can not control her daughter and then sends her to us. Step daughter has been in summer school for 5 weeks now and is doing great. She is a very smart girl but had no rules in her mom's house. Mom still is exposing her and her brother to all kinds of things not good for teenagers. Mom is dating a married guy, the wife found him and came over to fight, police were called and the kids all in the middle of this.
I need help. SS is being told by his mother that his dad doesn't love him or give him attention because I'm around. Add to that - she's always been (and still is) an absentee mother and the kids have never had to share Dad with a woman. They've never laid down to watch a movie with Dad and had some woman want to be there next to him. Luckily, SS has decided he doesn't want me out, like his mom had hoped, but instead wants to be smashed in between us at all times. He can't stand to let us have 5 minutes alone and throws tantrums about it. Emily - I want to sleep inbetween.
Can anybody relate... or am I being crazy?
It seems I can't do anything right for my 4 year-old SS lately. If he says something in general and I reply, he tells me, "I was talking to Daddy." Even if Daddy has walked out of the room!
Well, here's some new insight for the day....I've simply had enough. I just can't stand the position I'm in. My husband growls, throws stuff, and has temper tantrums in the evenings again. I get these ridiculous notes from his ex-wife about junk that was resolved in court years ago, only she has completed misconstrued interpretations. I get emails from her which conflict the content of the letters. My SS tells me information that my husband says isn't true. And the noise level here in the house from my husband's temper tantrums at night are so loud, that he is scaring my dogs.
My boyfriend's daughter is back from her mini-vacation with her mom. I knew it was too good to be true. I spoke to the biomom before they went on vacation and we discussed that the daughter should still have consequences from her sneaking out of the house with the boyfriend her mother so adamantly didn't want her to be alone with.
Since stepson is grounded from video games for lying to his dad, I decided to take him out and get him to practice soccer. Of course I thought I would show him some of my soccer moves.
That is when I realized......I'm getting old. I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow. It is taking all of the energy I have left to sit up at the computer and type this entry. How sad is that??!!!
We had a great holiday weekend that didn’t end so great…We were both off Monday and Tuesday so that made it a nice long weekend…we were able to get the whole house cleaned (I clean the upstairs and he does the downstairs…) and all the laundry done…he had a few people over for a study group and then he and I watched some movies and sat out on the deck and enjoyed the night air…we also got his office painted FINALLY and got his desk and stuff moved in…it looks really nice and I’m glad that he finally has “his space” done b/c he helped me get my office together over a year ago and his office w
Hi everyone - just wanted to share with you something that happened last night that made me really happy!
Sorry guys - just have to let off a little steam! On Sunday drove my SS all over town trying to find where he 'thought' his team was playing soccer! In the end he missed the match (making me drive for over 2 hours in the meantime!) and didn't even thank me!
Hi, everybody!
Just wanted to share a cute story from the weekend.
My 4 year old SS spent the night with us and I was taking him to brush his teeth in the morning. He tugged at the back of my yoga pants and said, "You have a pretty butt." I was stunned for a split second and then just said, "Uh, thanks. Now let's brush your teeth." My husband so wished he could have seen it happen.
Wishing everybody a safe, happy 4th of July!
