Has anyone's feelings towards their skids changed over time to positive feelings?
I'm asking because I find myself annoyed every time DH talks about his kids or I see pics of them. They are all out of our home now. 2 are adults and one is still a minor but lives in another state, so I rarely ever see any of them. Things are so much better now that they are all out of my daily existence and routine. I can say I'm in a much better place now. However every time I see them or even see a pic of them, I just cringe and shut down. Its like I have PTSD or something. DH just came back from his home state where he visited 2 of his kids.
How is it being a step grandparent?
My SD21 just had a baby. My family is congratulating me, calling me "grandma" however I don't feel like a grandma at all. Is it bad that I don't feel the connection or the same joy a normal excited grandparent would feel? I'm not close to my SD and never have been, even though I helped raise her since she was 11. We're cordial and friendly but really have no relationship.

BM calling DH about adult kids
How do you all feel about that? It urks the crap outta me. I see no reason for BM to contact DH about anything concerning their adult children, unless its a real emergency.
BM still calls DH about their adult children, to b*tch him out about how they need this or that and how he doesn't help them (her jaded opinion.) Mind you this woman doesn't do crap for her kids and has never provided for them financially.

Update from Demon stealing my money
By the time I got home yesterday, Demon SS15 was ready to fess up.
He admitted to stealing my money out of my wallet.
His reason/excuse was that he was mad at his dad for letting my bio son do his chores the next day and not letting SS do his chores the next day. So demon felt the urge to steal from me for something I had nothing to do with! typical. he's always taken his aggression out on me since day 1.

Demon seed strikes again! im livid
So SS15 who is here for the summer, decided to go into my wallet while I was asleep and steal $20. I rarely carry cash but my husband gave me a $20 bill last night so I could use it to get my car washed this morning. I put it in my wallet and went to bed. My purse was hanging in the coat closet downstairs. Well this morning I get up at 5am to workout and something told me to look in my wallet and sure enough the $20 was gone. I knew right away who took it.

Prayers ANSWERED!
So.... Demon seed SS15 came back home from living with his mom for the last 6 months. DH decided that living with his mom was not the best environment for him. Well after only 1 day back, DH is ready to send him back and let him live with his mom permanently! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
I was dreading him coming back, especially because I'm going through IVF right now and stress is not good for it.

Demon seed is coming back and I'm dreading it! HELP!
SS15 comes back to live with us next week. Its been a glorious 6 month break. Our home runs smoothly, no drama whatsoever, clean house, peaceful and everyone is on the same page.
SS15 doesn't want to come back either. He gets to do whatever he wants at his BM's. He's drinking, smoking, experimenting with drugs (shrooms and coke) and goes to college parties all the time. His BM is a college student and lives in some family housing for student families near the campus.

If you could do it over..... what would you do different and would you even do it again?
Just curious.
If you could do this step parent thing over again, what would you do differently? Would you even bother with this life again?
Your kid is sh*tty, accept it and do something about it!
It kills me that DH refuses to acknowledge his kids' bad/disrespectful behavior towards me. I know it must be hard to hear someone tell you that your kid is sh*tty. Not that I've told DH that but I have eluded to that in a more politically correct manner. But seriously c'mon! His kids are sh*tty to him as well and he hates it so why am I so out of pocket to make the same observation and speak on it?
DH doesn't even want to deal with his own kids, so wtf would make him think I would want to deal with them and their bs?
Not adding SS as a driver on my auto insurance
Broke the news to DH that I am not adding SS to my employee lease benefits to be able to drive the cars. In a previous post I discussed how SS stole my car while I was out of town and went joyriding with his fake friends for 3 nights, let these strangers drive my car, ran my tank down to empty and still will not tell me to the this day what happened to a piece of equipment that is missing from my car from when he took it. Was forced to apologize to me and it took him 4 days to even do that. This is my COMPANY car! Not to mention he tried to blame everything on my BS.
