When Skids Turn Out To Be.....

No one imagines their stepkids to be complete pia but sometimes it's just like that.

Here is a list of typical pia type of skids:

Clingy
Needy
Lazy
Messy
Loud
Whiny
Demanding
Attention-seeking

Boundaries conversation is the first line of defense. Depending on how that goes then sometimes evacuating is the best remedy. Then disengaging, and grey rock method are good coping alternatives.

I think you just described most of our stepkids here. LMAO.

Sounds like Snow White and the seven Skids.

Divorcing their idiot parents works as well.

Sadly, often the mate the SParent marries is much of the problem.

And never marrying into the

And never marrying into the dysfunction in the first place.

I called off my engagement once I realized this Disneyland dad doesnt have the cajones to enforce reasonable boundaries and tell his kids NO.

He asked me why we aren't married yet I said "dude your exwife (and really it's HIM enabling these peoples toxic behaviors) is a problem"

I could never marry a man who is still heavily manipulated and controlled by his ex nor could I marry a man with boundaries so weak he struggles to say NO to his kids when they need to be told no

Watching him run around the house like a broke butler for these entitled-for-no-reason crumbsnatchers makes me want to snatch his toupee

Hind site and all... we can't change the past.

But for damned sure we do not have to keep doing the same shit over and over again. Cutting loose the failed parent and their failed family spawn is a viable choice. It is continuing to chose to wallow in the toxicity that does not pass the smell test of intelligence.

So, what choice are you going to make?

I suggest that you choose.... you.

Take care of you.
