Merging Companies

Not the Evil Stepmom's picture

I would compare my blended family to two companies that are merging together. This was brought to my attention by one of my bosses who referred to an employee at the bank I work for as an evil step child. Of course at the time I laughed my ass off. As I thought about it more it occurred to me that I'm going through the same process at work as I am at home. My husband and I are the owners and our kids are the employees. We made the decision to merge two "companies” together and the "employees" are not happy.

Update on Funeral Arrangements

Not the Evil Stepmom's picture

Well it's been a week and two days since my brother in law past away. We still have not had a funeral for him nor is he burried. My husband is still haning on to the hope that there is some money out there to burry him with. He refuses to cremate him and have a simple funeral just for us. He set up an account for donations to help with the expenses so far no one has sent money. I keep telling him his brother would not want us to go through this but he insists on waiting. I asked him how long he was willing to wait. H said until I can give him what he would have wanted.

Our world Just Turned Upside Down

Sad Monday my husband's brother past away from a massive heart attack. He wasn't just my husband's brother but his best friend and almost like a father figure to him. He was only 52. He lived alone. He was never married and didn't have any children. It has become my husband's responsiblity to take care of everything because his parents passed away several years ago. He has another brother but he's kind of slow to put it niceley.

Things that make me go grrrrrr

Not the Evil Stepmom's picture

I feel like it's just my son and me even though there are two other people in the house. Last night my mom had both my kids. (My oldest lives with my mom and dad because he started refusing to go to school and my dad is retired so he stays on him like white on rice.) I came home and my H and SS11 were watching tv. No one said hi or even asked how my day was. I changed my clothes and started making supper. Still nothing. I finished making supper and went into the bathroom before we ate. I came out and still nothing. So I announced that supper was ready.

Things That Make Me Go Grrrrrrr

Late afternoon yesterday my H picked up my SS11 from his mother's. He lives with us. My H wasn't feeling well and I told him he should just leave him there. He insisted on getting him anyway. I knew how things would go. My H spent the entire evening asleep on the couch and didn't say one word to his son. SS11 in turn spent the entire evening in his room because according to SS11 I'm scary. So about 9:30 I tell my H just to go ahead and go to bed that I would be in shortly. So I did a few things and went to bed about 10:00. My H's brother called. Really?! Is that nessesary at 10:00?

Enjoying the peace

I love Christmas break! SS11 is staying with his mom until Wednesday evening and then going back to her house on Friday and staying with her until January 5th. Yeah for me! Things have been great! My mom kept my kids Saturday night and Sunday night. Sunday we just sat around and watched the whole first season of Dexter. It was awesome! No arguing. No getting stared at by skid. Getting to do whatever I wanted without second guessing myself. I forgot how nice it was.

Christmas

Well Christmas went better than expected. The teenage SDs didn't hang all over my H like they usually do. And I didn't feel like they were watching my every move. I think they actually had a little fun. My SS11 actually spoke to me! He lives with us but had been staying with his mom for a few days. He normally acts like I'm the devil. It didn't start off to good as far as H and I are concerned. We had Christmas at my parent's house. The skids got there about 1:00. H was sitting on the couch and I was laying on the couch with my head on his lap. Well we were all debating football vs.

My marriage is headed for divorce

I'm pretty sure my marriage is headed for a divorce unless I start pretending to like my skids. I tried disengaging but I just got accused of being mean. Really how is it being mean to say nothing at all and just let them be?! We just keep arguing. He won't compromise at all! I think we are going to have to go to counseling and we've only beeen married 6 months! I can't imagine spending the rest of my life like this!

Up until 2:00 am

So last night my H and I were up until 2:00 arguing about the skids and Christmas. Oh happy day! He thinks that I'm mean to his kids and make them feel uncomfortable. I said well what would you like me to do to make them feel better around me. I wasn't trying to be smart. I didn't even say it with a tone in my voice. He came back with well you should know how to act you are in customer service after all! I was serious I don't know what to do. I have tried everything.
