Welp, it finally happened. (LONG)

H and I just had the epic blowout over his kids that we should've had for a while now, but just didn't feel like dealing with the conflict. I'm pretty sure this is the worst fight we've ever had. There were a different kind of fireworks this 4th of July and they were centrally located in my house while the skids were out in the truck waiting for H to take them 4-wheeling. A trip I was planning on going on until H turned into a complete and total asshole.

Is it bad?

So, I just found out that one of my VERY BFF'S is dating a guy who has kids. Is it bad that I kind of want to tell her to run for the hills? I guess he has a 13 year old boy and a 10 year old girl. According to her, the BM is super cool, etc., but this relationship is very new and I remember how I was when I was first with DH. Pretty much the same way (even though my skids' BM has NEVER been super cool). I think now is her chance to get out before she gets trapped like me.

Ha ha, classic!!!!

Oh my God, so lock up the Wolves, I now have a teenager under my roof. Welcome to hell, biiiiiiiitch! So for SS(now)13's stupid b-day dinner, he wanted to go to Joe's Crab Shack (p.s., DH is lucky I even agreed to go with, because the sight/smell/watching people eat seafood makes me physically sick). SS13 is NOTORIOUS for ordering a bunch of food, then eating maybe half of it if we're lucky, and then says he's too full. If anyone has ever been to this place, they know how huge those crab pots can be, so I was pessimistic.

Special Present to my DH on Father's Day

So, the gift that SS11 decided to give to my DH on Father's Day was the gift of peeing on himself. No, I didn't say SS1...I said SS11. It would be different if I knew he had a medical issue that would give him a reason for doing this (i.e. undiagnosed diabetes) and he did this all the time...but he doesn't, so REALLY? He said he was asleep. I'm going to go ahead and call bullshits on that one because I'm pretty sure he was actually playing video games and just did it because he didn't feel like putting them down. So, actually, the real problem is probably game addiction and laziness.

Father's Day...the True Test!

Okay, so far the whole ignoring the skids and not being involved with anything is not only going well, but apparently the skids actually interpret it as me trying to be better with them. I've been less stressed out (though DH is probably MORE stressed out, but my theory that when I stay out of it, things are acutally better is holding true). Thursday night I returned home to find a couple of flowers and a note from the skids about how I'm the best SM ever. A nice gesture, I'll admit, possibly this is also due to less harping from me.

So far, my master plan of pretending like the skids don't exist is going swimmingly!

Okay, it's only been about 2 hours, granted, but after not speaking to DH for about 72 hours this past weekend from being so pissed at him about the skids, I told myself to pretend like they didn't exist and anything having to do with them would be ignored in my mind. So, I got home from the gym, and of course, DH was pissed off at both of them. They, of course, were acting completely stupid, but I steeled my nerves, breathed, and basically just tuned them out. Already I feel much better! The REAL test will be the next time we have them for the weekend.

I think I had THAT moment...

...you know, the one where you finally realize that you will NEVER come out the winner in the whole step-child situation. I pretty much figured out this morning while my H was on my case because I'm not nice to his kids since I don't like rude, disrespectful children, that no matter what, it's pretty much just going to be me vs. him and his family, and I'm outnumbered. I was doing the whole "disengagement" thing for a while, but the skids have officially become very intolerable, and I refuse to have disrespectful children in my house.

The Upside of Avoidance

Well, I've discovered the upside of avoiding my Skids like they were carrying the Hanta virus: my house should be pretty much spotless by the time the three-day weekend is over. Already I've brushed out both of the coat-blowing dogs, filed the chihuahua's nails (this takes about 15-20 minutes, depending), and done the dishes (which pile up in the sink when the skids are not here).

Nothing Ruins a 3-day Weekend like Skids.

Ugh, I'm already sick of them and it's only Friday. Their very presence irritates me. SS12 seriously is just wandering around aimlessly, invading my patience, SS10 has already started his BS "I'm going to get my way come hell or high water" antics. I don't know which is worse. If SS12 doesn't learn how to entertain himself quickly, I'm just going to flip out. And if SS10 doesn't stop acting like such a spazz, I'm just going to go bananas. I mostly just want to, like, leave for the entire weekend and spend it by myself.

I'm so glad I'm going to Vegas instead of being around the skids this weekend...

Oh GOD only a few more hours and I'll be heading to the airport to get away from the skids for the rest of the weekend. Thank you, my awesome sister, for having your bachelorette party somewhere that requires that I'm gone for more than just a few hours in the night. I won't have to hear screeching, bickering, yelling, see their obnoxious faces, deal with their obnoxious behavior again until Thursday night when they come back. The price I'll be paying for this? Having to deal with them the whole Memorial Day weekend. I'm trying to focus on the short-term today...
