briarmommy's picture

I am counting down the days and can feel my blood pressure rising all ready. My husband is trying to get mon. and tues. off work to help transition him into a summer routine, hopefully that will help. I am just so anxious and worried about how this summer is going to work out. Last summer was bad and ss7 has gotten increasingly worse in behavior since then. So it will be me, my baby and ss7 almost all summer by ourselfs while my husband works mon-fri 3-11, I am already nausous.

Well Yesterday was my daughters birthday and it went great. My husband and I decided since it was so close to the summer visit schedule we didn't want to mess up the weekend schedule so my ss7 didn't come. (my ss7 live and hour and a half away so we weren't going to have him in the car 3hrs round trip to come to an hour and a half 1yr olds party) My mil was peeved she thought we should have stuck him in a car for that long for it but my husband told her no. I was so proud of him.

We might get my ss7 fulltime

My husbands ex told him today that her grandmother can no longer watch ss7 so she is going to have him go stay with one of her friends overnight on school nights and get on the bus from there. So pretty much he will living with this other women we don't know half the week. My husband thinks this with all the other stuff like how stable our home is and the fact that we own a home and that I stay home full time.

Why is that the whole dynamic in the house changes when my ss comes for the weekend? I'm really worried if we cant get through a weekend how will we possiably get through 3months strait. I barely survived last summmer. I know a lot of women on here fell somewhat like this I see it in the blogs of other people. But why is it? I mean other people come into our homes and everything stays the same but this one child can change so much in our homes.

Going to try a new direction this summer

We have my ss7 ALL SUMMER, he only goes home for one week in July to bm's because of my husband and his ex's divorce decree. So we are going to have rules. Well to start I put my foot down and my ss7 will be on his adhd medicine this summer, it will be better for him and for me and my bd. I figure with the focus he can get he will be able to spend a little time each day working on school work for the next year, I spent hours online today trying to find the most fun and educational work books and activites to do this summer for about an hour a day.

Am I bad person? He trys to take all attention all the time. Even from my family, I feel like he already has his family and I want mine to be able to give there attention to my daughter especially on her birthday. Her party is on a nonskid weekend but my husband is talking about trading weekends so that he will be there. I don't want that, I want a day about her, and with him there it won't happen. My husbands mom already favors him so much over our daughter and if he is there she will give even less attention to our daughter.

O/T Dissapointed that I am not Pregnant

As some of you may now from my previous blog my stepson just said to me on Sunday in a very bratty and mean way that he hoped that I wasn't pregnant. I was hurt and angry after this since I knew it wasn't just him. The other week my mother in law told me that I shouldn't have another child, my husband and I have a 10mth old together, because I quote "it would be hard for my stepson" Forgive me but I dont' think how many children I get to have should be based on someone who is only here every other weekend and during the summer.

mil worse then bm

Does anyone else hate there mil worse then your husbands ex? A little backstory, my husband married his ex young and only because she got pregnant. Since they had no money and his ex was in school they moved in with his mother. He worked all the time and his ex not the maternal sort anyway went to school full time and studied the rest so in the evenings when his mother got home she would watch my ss. Thats great but fast forward two years they get divorced and his ex moves out with the kid and he gets an apartment with his friend.

my ss7 calls me stepmom

Ok am I crazy? I asked my husband to have a talk with my ss7 about what he calls me. He calls me stepmom, not just when telling people who I am but when he talks to me. When he needs something I'll here stepmom yelled across the house, is it wrong that I just want to be called by my name, or maybe even nannie which is what my niece and nephew call me.
