7:34am. My favorite time of day. When I can hear the door slam and last skid has left the building. Good God all I hear all morning is the sound of YouTube blaring from their phones and their God awful voices yelling at each other over flipping cheetos. I started my coffee and left the room. I couldnt last in that kitchen any longer. Back upstairs to my cave. I just want my coffee.....and there it goes. Door slams, the last skid is gone!

I know in the scheme of things compared to some of the battles y'all are fighting. I got it easy that our battles are mostly with skids, not BM. She's an asshole but she doesnt want much to do with the kids and she sings my praises and supports me when it comes to parenting because if I flip out and leave or force the kids out my house... She. Dont. Want. These .damn. Kids. She knows it will affect her marraige to have these monsters in her home.

Today is my DHs day off and we have YSS.  Now in the past 7 years, YSS 12 has Mande leaps and bounds and is totally tolerable.  He’s actually turning into a good kid.   He is helpful most of the time and doesn’t sass me.  He is pleasant and quiet.    But even today, I stayed in my bedroom until DH left to take him to school.   Not because he is a problem but because I feel it is DHs job to do the heavy lifting.  DH can make YSSs lunch and make sure he eats breakfast and push him to get ready.  Not my kid, not my problem.   

I like my morning time alone and I can say I breath a sigh of relieve when they all scatter out the door every day.

DH leaves at 5 so all I do is wake them for school. I intentionally wake them 10 mins later than Im supposed to so they have less free time to annoy me. The last moments are always the worst because they are ready just waiting to leave and then SD16 comes down and starts telling them what to do because apparently Im not capable of getting a 12 & 10 yr old ready. Thats why I stay in my room. SD 16 has it under control. Yelling at them about their coats, shoes, lunches and dont dare touch HER cheetos.

I like YSD a lot. But last night I was in a mood, didn't want to cook (cooked a quick stovetop thing and left it there for others to serve at will, left my dinner refuse EVERYWHERE for others to clean up since they do it too - well, YSD is pretty good but DH not), took my meal into bed, watched a show by myself, and went to sleep early.  I just couldn't deal with the chatter and hyperactivity.  Good call on my part.  I like quiet evenings because mornings for me are get up and GO with no down time.

I have to say that as a BM there were times when I was very happy that my own children were out of the house and it was finally quiet. Teens are the absolute worst, even when you are biologically programed to love them.

Been there too but i can't stand anything about these kids. At least my bios only annoyed me occasionally....or a lot at times.

I had no idea i would continue to dislike them so much
