I don't know if it's because he feels guilty for not being there for her everyday, but EVERYTHING his child does is perfect. And ANYTHING she wants she gets, even if that means when he returns her on Sunday, he'll be broke until next pay day. It's like all weekend I'm playing "extra nice" to obtain the child's approval and it's exhausting. And it's SO annoying catering to a 6 year old. The entire weekend is dictated by what she feels like. Heaven forbid she be bored for more than a second. He just recently started getting her on his designated weekends, so im attributing this to that fact. But I dont know if i have the energy to deal with this every weekend. Im starting to want to avoid them altogether. Does this get better?

I'd like to say NO it doesn't get better but in my case it did get SLIGHTLY better. After tons of arguments he finally got it threw his thick skull that it wasn't right to cater to the Skids as if he had an unlimited well of cash stashed in the backyard. So THAT has gotten A LITTLE better. But no, my DH still wants to please the SD10 and he STILL wants to do special things on the weekends he has her and he STILL treats her like a golden egg. That part I don't think will ever get better. I've been in this relationship 10 years.

Ugh and the whole "golden egg" statement was spot on. as if the shrine of her at the house isn't enough.

Smile The shrine??? OMG let me find out there are pictures everywhere at the house. We JUST had a blog about this yesterday! It was HILARIOUS! You should find it, it was hysterical. The names some of these women use are just "pee in your pants" funny.

I keep hearing to "run" but, those of you in similar situations didn't, or, haven't yet, or won't. why is that?

hindsight 20/20, joy.... it didn't seem so bad until after we married, i'm not in my 20's (in fact, i never ever even considered marriage in my 20's, much less married to someone with baggage). if i knew then what i know now, i would have taken my own advice to RUN!

i could walk, but love dh tons, CS and co skid visitation is more than 1/2 way over and what are the chances of me meeting someone my age that doesn't have is own baggage that i would have to adapt to and start all over. not to mention, my situation isn't nearly as bad as some of the others on here.
