Step Son is driving me crazy!

Our 'child free' weekend can not get her soon enough!

We took a family trip for Spring Break and all SS15 (BiPolar, Depression, ADHD), did was complain the ENTIRE time. He took off by himself several times in the big city we were in causing his father to have to go searching for him too. I finally told him if he doesn't appreciate our efforts and the family trips, he can stay home next time. I didn't let it bring me down though, I still had a great time with the rest of the family. He was out of hand the week before we left, so I should have taken that as a sign.

Venting a little

I am so sick of the Skid's BM lately. They live with us full-time along with my 3 kids. A few months ago she complained to their dad about what we provide them for school lunches, (which was wrong, the kids misinformed her), yet 9 out of 10 times they come back from spending the weekend with her having not had dinner that night, and they get home around 8:30-9pm! She's got some nerve! Twice now SD has gotten hurt on BM's weekend and BM didn't bring her to be checked out.

Question

My BD12 has brought up a few times now that SD12 has said, that "the only reason my dad hasn't kicked you all out is because he likes having someone here that cooks and cleans". By 'you all' she means myself, my BD6, BD12, and BD16. Of course I know this isn't true, however, it is hurtful that she STILL after three years living together as a family, doesn't 'get it' that her father and I love each other and plan on spending the rest of our lives together.

Newbie here!

I am so glad to have found this site! I am BM to 3, and SM to my BF's two kids. We have all been living together for over 2 years. BF and his ex-wife split up about 4 yrs prior to us meeting, due to her being unfaithful, and other things. She never really parented their kids. Their daughter got most of her mothering from her grandmothers. The ex-wife also had a some mental issues and was hospitalized a few times for them. So these kids haven't had it easy.
