I recently posted that when my SS11 left my home for custodial time with BM 10$ was missing. Well I did ask my SS11 about it over the phone and he said he had no idea what happened to the money... OF COURSE. Well two days past and I get a voicemail from BM that SS11 is upset and afraid to come back to our home because he is afraid I don't believe him about the money and that he was going to be in trouble. OKAY, if that is not a guilty conscience, I don't know what is.

Pissed! Furious! that little thief!

I asked my 11SS how much money he had in his wallet before he left our house for the week because his mom isn't working right now and she is not married, she simply collects her government unemployment check at the end of the month and that is it! She does not have $ to give him. I wanted to make sure he had a few bucks to get him through the week at school next week...He replied that he had $2.00 in his wallet.

SO Confused!!!

I am writing this because I am so conflicted inside! I am a teacher, I am a mother, I am a step-mother. MY 11SS has never done what is required of him in school and it has always been me who has followed up and made him follow thru on getting things done since he was in Kindergarten. Now, the kid is in 6th grade been suspended from 3 different schools (which I feel bad for him having to change schools so often due to BM & DH custody battle) however, the kid is beyond smart! he has tested above average on all those state tests etc. He is almost too smart, but he is extremely LAZY!!!

Completely ANNOYED with the cell phone!

Not only does the 11SS have a cell phone that annoys the SH*! out of me, but now it is 9:30 at night and BM thinks its appropriate to call him on it and chat like they are dating! It is sick, and it is annoying and I have already told the kid 5 times it is BED TIME!!!! He says okay I am just saying good night to mom....okay then say it and get off the phone!!! I am so over this cell phone!

A New Year, A New Attitude

Hello... Today is my very first time on this site and I am so thankful I have found it. I have been an overworked, underappreciated step mom for the last 8 years of my life and I have finally found it within myself to put my foot down with the BM of my SS and I am already feeling better. I am hopeful that I can stay strong and stop letting both my husband and the BM take advantage of my giving nature. My ss has many issues and I have always taken the brunt of what comes our way with school etc. but I am not going to anymore.
