I hate them, I hate them with a passion.. I really can't believe that I'm actually on a forum speaking this way about other human beings but here I am... my step kids are awful awful kids. A year ago I married my husband and I know that he was the best human being to spend my life with but he comes with an absorbent amount of baggage. The original plan/set up was they were really only going to be here a limited amount of time. The ex wife/mother doesn't want them really if she doesn't need to have them and that includes holidays..
