after talking with my husband about reading an article about resenting step children, he advised that if you just keep having kids like we did, you eventually just start to resent them all. lol, i love him. i hope this shows some of you who are new to the step parent struggles that it will get better. and someday you might even be able to laugh about it. Smile

Haha! My saying was always, "what's one more?" Hell, as toddlers it was easier than when they were all teens!
I'm with your DH on this one. Blum 3

Funny Ell that you posted this because my DH said to me this morning "you have a lot of pent up anger towards SD16". I said "no I just chose to keep my distance from evil people!" SD16 is disrespectful, selfish, ignorant and uneducated! She is the splitting image of BM. Can't stand the sight of either one yet I am focused to live with her cuz DH has custody! I have managed to stay focused on my BKs instead of her and that has helped.

yeah, it sucks that the SKs are a constant reminder of their mothers. they are a part of our husbands, and we have to accept them. we don't have to like what they do, though. we gotta love em in our own way. it would hurt my husband if i said i didn't like his son seriously. we can joke about the troubles of raising them all, though. for me, i guess, it's just the constant struggles of the situation and not necessarily my ss. i'll tell you if that changes when he is 16, lol.
