I am new to this so please understand. I am twenty eight and engaged to a great guy...well at times. I have no children or my own but he has two. His daughter is 21 (yes he is 44) and his son is 15. He and his daughter really dont have a relationship. I have never met her but she knows of me and referes to me a the "little slut". I have met his son a couple of times (my fiance moved here to take a job)at family fuctions. He was extremely quiet at first and then when he began to speak it was clear that this wasnt going to be an easy relationship.
Hey everyone - sorry I haven't updated in a few weeks - I've been getting some work done around my house and of course the kids are no longer in school and I feel like tearing my hair out. Is it just me or does anyone else feel the same? Since the sk's have gotten out of school I feel like I'm going slowly insane, I have no quiet down time, no tidy house, multiple piles of laundry, 2 kids with ADHD constantly harassing me to entertain them - ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
SS19 has wiped out his credit card debt, & has even put a small amount in savings. Plus he seems to be balancing his college & work okay.
SS17 seems happier, maybe it's because of world cup, whatever it is he is a pleasure to be around.
Finally my husband is feeling physically better though he has to have one more blood sugar test. The doctor told him to loose weight & to watch what he's eating, & he is.
This seems too good to be real. So here I sit hoping that it doesn't all go away, its nice.
Well, I found an attorney who is going to draft up a cease and desist letter as well as letter to the websites to delete my SD's blog websites. I am going to meet with attorney on Thursday to give him the documents and pay him.
I was about to go under for the 3rd time yesterday when I came to this site. After reading some of the other blogs I was able to get my wits about me and go home with a much better attitude.
Here's my story: newly married (less than 1 yr; togther 3). Both of us had been divorced a long time and now find ourselves with a total of 4 kids (3 teenagers). I'm talking long term...I had been divorced 16 yrs; him 12. Neither of us saw ourselves marrying again....just goes to show never say never!
This set me off just before I left for work this morning....
The 30 yr old SD takes another stab at excluding me again!
She sent several e-mail with pictures- one of Grand-son on a toy motorbike, with the caption below....(youngest SD/BF and hubby/me all ride motorcycles.)
""OK - so Uncle Xxxxx, Auntie Xxxxx & Grandad aren't the only only riding these days...check out Xxxxxx's bike - and the tricks to boot 
My daughter and I had a long talk and unfortunately she is not as forgiving of my boyfriend as I, and rightfully so. She really didn't do anything wrong and is being punished more than his daughter, who caused this problem. I am hoping my daughter in time will learn to forgive my boyfriend, but blame really should be placed on the person who caused all this, his daughter. He has a hard time accepting that his daughter is at fault - she has been manipulating both her parents for 15 years and nothing is ever her fault!
Well this past weekend was much of the same. My daughter came to me upset because my boyfriend was still giving her the cold shoulder because of what his daughter did (she snuck out to be with her boyfriend that she is not supposed to be alone with and my daughter didn't tell on her). Meanwhile, I was out taking his daughter to her therapist. After my daughter came to me, I again addressed it with my boyfriend and it blew up into a huge argument.
I'm reading a batch of books right now about stepfamilies. I need help! As a lifelong reader I can breeze through 3 or 4 books a week, unless of course the house is falling apart or burning down. (life happens!)
I hope to post some reviews on this site if I find useful books for stepmoms and for blended families in general. I will probably only post the ones that are "positive" --- in other words I won't be warning you about what not to waste your money on. I'll try to focus on what's good and helpful.
Well, you know what - even she had a hard time being a step-mum in the movie! So we may not be big hollywood movie stars but as step-mums I think we do a darn good job at acting & being diplomatic!! It's the name of the game, isn't it!!
