I'll go back to solo wknds for a while
Just like we've done before, because of this past wknd I'm going with the 'seperate wknds' again for a bit. It's worked for us before, I just thought we were out of the woods since the last month or so had gone ok, I was feeling hopefully even!
I was talking last night with him-and believe me I held back everything I wanted to say...I said, you know I didn't even take my kids to amusement park like I wanted to with all this that went on.
He said, I know, I think that's the main thing you're mad about, I said, nope actually, I'm mad about everything that went on here, that was just ONE of the things. He said, well you know then, I know you need to do right by them, I could have taken sd back home and you could have gone...I said, I know, and I will from now on I'm making plans with them and doing my own thing. She gets to do all these things all the time and I don't with mine, so I will be doing my own thing with them.
I even talked to my kids before he came over, and said look, would you like us to do our own thing on wknds w/out bf and fsd? You guys can still see bf during the week but perhaps we need to do our own thing, they were both for it-especially after this past wknd. They're old enough to have some say, I really want to know what they are feeling since they are the ones that mainly have to put up with her crap.
I have a million things I want to say-if I do he may well be gone-I"M not sure any parents wants to hear the things I have to say about their 'kid'. But I will be speaking up more and more as I've started to now...if he can't handle it he can exit the relationship, but I know I will not compromise myself or my sons or home anymore for some other bitch's spawn. I'm at a point that I don't care if he knows I don't like her at all....that I will be polite but I will no longer go out of my way to open my home to her -it honestly is like having BM over to associate with me and my family (bully) EOW-I would never ever chose to be around someone like that, I would never chose for my kids to be around someone like her. So the time will be minimized again.

Sounds like a great plan

DH was always insistent at
DH was always insistent at first that we do things together as a family. When I started to realize that this wasn't fair to my son, since the Stepkids were getting two parents to cater to them with vacations and outings. While he had just me. That was my tipping point. I started taking him out to dinner alone and over the summer, I did a trip to Washington DC just us. Stayed at a 4 star hotel and generally spent too much money. But, I was tired of DH getting to dictate what my son got to do, by only doing it when SS was here.
YES....and see she gets to do
YES....and see she gets to do all kinds of stuff w/her mom...so I'm starting to reverse this mess and do things with my own kids from now on, I used to before I met him.
I don't mind doing ocassional stuff...but like on the camping trip, the kids were talking about wanting to go to the beach-i was never able to do it last year...and now I've decided I will try again this year but it will be the boys and i, bf can join us but I"m not taking her to ruin my vacation and the only vacation my kids have had in a long time with THEIR mom.
