Someday

I think the hardest part of a relationship with your significant other when there are less desirable relationships with step children involved, is the utter deviation knowing your partner will never be able to understand what you go through. I'm sure we all have different situations and react to them all differently, but the toll this steplife can put on us and our relationships is heavy sometimes.

Am I over reacting?

So SS16 asked his dad last night if his 19 year old pot head friend (his only friend) can "hang out" at the house today after school. His dad looked at me and said, "do you mind if xxxx comes over"? My blood immediately started to boil. The last couple time SS16 asked me if xxxx can hang at the house I've said no. So surely he knew he would try asking his dad instead of me. 

I feel robbed

All throughout growing up until this very day I always looked up to my mother. The love I have for her is immeasurable. That's all I ever wanted to be. A good wife. A good mother. When I look at my own son, I can see the adoration that he has for me. As I do him. There is so much resentment when it comes to the skids and my DH. I feel robbed. I understand that every blended family is not the Brady bunch. But the disconnect with our family is strong. If you told me years ago that I would find myself in this situation at this time, I would not believe you.

You could have stayed out longer

Don't you hate it when DH takes his kids somewhere for the day then they come home hours early? I guess I should be thankful for the fact that DH took his 2 boys hunting today and they came home safe and sound. But dang it I have been waiting for today for over a week! This was suppose to be my day to recharge! My vacation day! And you guys walk in the door 4 hours early. *stop*
