What a long, not fun weekend. Never thought I'd get to a point in my life that I would dread summers and wait for weekends to be over(every other weekend!)

I usually get the skids off to school. They are pretty independent at age 12 & 11 when daddeeee is not around. Some days I help with getting them a lunch ready but pretty much they get up, get dressed and go and I wave goodbye but when daddeeee is home they cant wipe their butts.(sarcasm they do thank god)

Today DH is going in a little late so I came in my room at 6:55 and said kids are up. If he's home he's getting them off to school. Im hiding in my room cuz I dont want to know what kind if shitshow is going on down there. I think I got a dirty look from DH when I came back to the bedroom and hunkered down in the corner with my phone. Just waiting for everyone to leave. I bet he wanted to have a family lunch making session with step mommy offering to help. Nope. Im hiding out. Im sure DH is repeatedly asking them if they have everything they need hoping that they fail so he can rescue them. He really thrives on being important. Maybe SS11 will need his pancakes cut up.

Has your DH also never let go of the big happy family idea? 

Also, that first paragraph totally resonates with me.

Yes. He wants to be a big happy family but the kids resent me for being here and I now resent them also or just dont like them. I dont know how to describe how I feel about them. I just know I dont like being in the same room.

Good. For. You.

Like seriously.  I have moments I try to be handsoff for a bit too... lol.  It's blissful!

Thats my thing, very hands off. I do nothing when DH is there. I cant even be in the same room as them. It's painful to watch. I was gone most of the weekend. I spent time at work, my mom's, errands, working out and 2 hours at Panera with a book & coffee...ugh should have done decaf. I was drinking coffee from 6-8pm & didnt sleep well. Silly me.

LOL.  I try to get out too... I remember at the beginning I thought I needed to be home ALL. THE. TIME.  Because no one else ever did anything....  I've finally beat that (mostly, but who's perfect, lol), and it's way better!

And you didn't sleep well, but it sounds like you had a nice day!

That's how it is here too. If my SO is working in the morning, skids are just fine getting up and getting themselves ready. But if he's home, all of a sudden they can't get up to their alarms, he just has to drive them the 3 blocks to school...they just can't seem to do it on their own. Drives me insane!

The skids have learned that I dont play their game and if they f*** up there are consequences. Unless of course DH undermines me. Then DH has the consequences from me.

Hubby was pushing for it but he’s in absolute denial. How can you be or try for a big one happy family when your own kids with the ex aren’t a one big happy family yet you wanna throw 2 new bio kids plus your wife into the mix. 

My ss21 repeatedly tells his dad that we are strangers and he feels weird acknowledging us and  being civil with us saying a basic hi, sd’s intentionally do not  contact their dad and are very disrespectful miniwives so this one big happy family will never happen with these people and i have told my husband this and to stop forcing me to go on outings with his kids- i am very firm on that and refuse 100%.

i told hubby he’s in denial
