Stuck home with a sick kid
My family (mom, aunts, cousins) Christmas is Friday and then i leave town Saturday....no DH, no skids. Just me n my youngest bio son yay.
I have to have everything done for Christmas, cooking, shopping & wrapping, by Friday and I'm stuck home with a fake sick kid. I cant even wrap cuz I have everything at my mom's cuz she has space.
So SS10 your belly hurts and you don't feel well to go to school but you're ok to eat and play video games. I had a class at the gym from 8-9 and I was going to take him to school an hour late but DH texted me that he's staying home he's too sick. It wouldn't bother me so much if SS10 didn't wait for me to leave to call dad to cry about his stomach. He knows he can manipulate dad and not me the wicked stepmonster.
DH was manipulated by BM for 13 years of marraige and the skids learned all of their tricks from her.
It sucks all the years i wanted to be a stay at home mom for my own kids and couldn't. I loved nurturing those little buggers. Now Im part time sahm & I'm nothing but aggravated by skid presence. I have so little affection for these kids and all I see are their flaws.
Wish i could be as honest with my husband as you guys. Thanks for listening

Ohhhhh no. Sick kids do NOT
Ohhhhh no. Sick kids do NOT play games. You do not get to eat what you want. It will be just a little broth and toast.. and you will remain in bed.. sleeping so that you get better.
I would remove his games immediately.. sick is not a play day.
Our rule was also if you are sick.. you are sick all day.. so no 3:30pm miracle recovery... you are treated like a sick person all day.. no exceptions.. too sick for school? too sick for anything else all day.
Wait - if you are at home
Wait - if you are at home with him - YOU get to decide if he goes to school or not. That's BS that he can call DH and claim to be sick without DH even checking with you? Hell no. DH should be calling you to discuss it, not making a decision based on a flipping phone call from a manipulative kid.
I did want to send him late
I did want to send him late to be sure he was ok. He was crying last night in the middle of the night. He has a birthday party food hangover. I told him Id be back after my workout....priorities, I'm not missing my workout to drive him to school. He called dad crying that he couldn't go he was too sick. It took me about 15 mins to realize he was fine.
I totally agree. Im being the
I totally agree. Im being the lazy step parent today. I just dont care anymore. With a screen in front of his face he leaves me alone. Thats how BM parented when she had custody and both boys have developmental delays. Ive already figured out that i can't change the outcome of these kids lives. If they cause my divorce, so be it. Im prepping for it financially. I spend almost none of my income anymore and keep it for the future. Whether it be a future with my DH or on my own, we'll have some money. He can blow his $$ on the skids and their air pods and beats and expensive brand name makeup. Ill shop at Walmart and have some cash saved.
Maybe Ive become just as manipulative as the skids. I keep the peace best I can, do my "job" as a stepmonster and have DH pay my bills and use the I had to give up working full time card.
Didn't you know that skids
Didn't you know that skids are special and they can recover really quickly and still get to do fun stuff when they are "sick"?!? OMG, I feel your pain on this one. I was so proud of SO on Friday for telling SD that she couldn't come to my dad's company Christmas party b/c she left school early because of an ear ache (she had been on antiobiotics for a week by this point) and her O2 levels were low (98 and according to the school nurse just fine). Of course after SO talks to BM magically there are exceptions for why SD should still be allowed to go to the Christmas party. Apparently an O2 level is still really bad for SD and her "sports" or as I like to call it self induced asthma...according to BM of course. I'm sure she knows a lot more than the nurse that likely has a degree in the medical field. SO ended up letting SD come to the party and told her NEXT TIME she won't be able to do anything if she is to sick for school. I'm sure that will be so effective! I'm sure next time there won't be another lame excuse to justify letting her get away with playing sick and still getting to do the fun stuff she wants....
Of course next time there
Of course next time there will be consequences.
DH did say no basketball game tonight for SS10 since he stayed home. We'll see of he follows through.
Did he follow through? Just
Did he follow through? Just curious. I know mine likely wouldn't have. I am sure he will NEXT TIME though, lol!
Lol. He did follow through. I
Lol. He did follow through. I got home late and SS was on the couch. Apparently he threw up in the 30 mins he was alone between the time SD19 left for work and SD16 got home from school...really? The lies these kids make up for no reason. Their mom does the same thing. Feigns illness for attentions i guess my contempt for the skids is they are so much like her and her behavior is ridiculous with of course no consequences....she steals, lies, manipulates and everyone turns away. I dont leave my purse unattended at that house, my f'n house. I keep cash in a hidden envelope with my name and my DH & I sign money in & out of the envelope and keep a count regularly. He always says they are half BM so he doesn't trust them either. I actually set the kids up to steal just to see by leaving cash in the kitchen in an envelope with some other things. Yep $20 missing. Envelope had my name on it since it was cash & restaurant coupons for the kids i nanny for in the summer so i can take them out to lunch. I had to replace the $20 that my employer left for me but at least I know now that someone stole from me.
