Spring Break

CRenfort's picture

So...it was a bad day because I found out my stepson will be able to come with us on MY family's summer vacation. My family being, my sisters, my parents, and nieces and nephews.

I'm upset with this because it ruins my relaxing vacation with my family, whom I see twice a year. About two weeks ago, I took my husband and my stepson to Disney World for spring break. My eldest sister met us there with her family. (Yes!! again excited because I don't see her very often) Stepson is nice and polite whenever he's by himself, but around other kids, he's a complete monster. He's an only child, although BM is pregnant with twins (ANOTHER STORY) Anyways, stepson tells my darling niece, whom I love with all my heart, "dogs could eat a buffet of you." No, she's isn't fat. But my competitive stepson is upset that she's taller than him. That and many other weight issues his BM passed on to him.

OMG. I don't want to go on this vacation with him and there is nothing I can do. He embarasses me in front of my family.

There is so much more to this story. I want to cry. My husband didn't say anything when stepson mouthed off. I was mortified.

That last thing you said "so much more to to the story...want to cry" touches my heart. It's very unfortunate that a child is not only allowed to behave in such a manner but encouraged to do so by other influential adults in his life.

The whole situation is very sad, for everyone involved. These poor kids. I know the reason they act out.....and sometimes I get so damn mad at my husband and BM for making a such a bad mistake. The reprocusions are endless. But at the end of the day, there is a 9 year old who has never known a life with his real parents living in the same house, or even talking to one another. We can be so ugly to each other, its disasterous. But will it ever get better??? Someone, please tell me that it all ends well.

If I ever have time to figure out how to attach one of those signature things it will say "You are smarter than you think, stronger than you seem and braver than you believe" (advice from Winnie the Pooh) silly I know. This tiny phrase gets me through my "crazies"....sometimes. I don't know if it gets "better" because I wonder that myself more often than not *sighs*...that's all I've got.
