The argument for becoming an alcoholic.....

Peaches1973's picture

Hello ladies (and gents)! It's been a while since I was on this site,longer since I've posted but I'm in need of a vent and some constructive advise. Please no shouts of "you need to leave,he's an asshole!!" Yes he can be a raging fucktard but I'm not giving up on our marriage or our life. I love many things about DH. This not one of them.

O/T -I'm so out of the loop!

I haven't been on ST for a while due to some health issues and as I'm going through the posts today I feel so lost! :?
What's with the Stephen King references? Flying mailboxes? I get the 'he's tall' ones cause I happened across Drac0's blog so at least I get one!!
And where's Fearless?
This is like sitting at the popular table in school after being out with mono for a month. Except that I never had mono. Smile

Great article on MSN about raising entitled kids...

...do you think this will help our BF's and DH's see the light?? Probably not but it certainly re-enforces our point that they arent doing the little angels any favors by being Disney Dads.

*Are your kids prepared for life? Quite a few of our children aren't. Citing 8-year-olds who won't tie their own shoes and 20-somethings who stay up all night and sleep until noon, Elizabeth Kolbert suggests that we are raising "the most indulged young people in the history of the world."

Am I being silly,or do I have a point here?

Another shitty weekend at home due to all the crap I have to deal with resulting from BF (and I use the term loosely at this point) constantly indulging his kids.
Heres the most recent WTF?! situation:
My BD turned 18 in April,graduated HS in May and moved out in June.She is going to school to be a vet tech and working 2 jobs.
Since BF and I have been together (almost 3 yrs) he has promised her he will provide her with a car,not a new car,but one that he will get for cheap and fix up.Hes very good at mechanics so we beleived him.

So-Whos read the book Stepmonster?

I just ordered it last week,I figure I can use all the help I can get.The reviews on Amazon sounded very promising and Ive seen it mentioned here a time or two.
If you have read it I would love to get your thoughts-did you love it? Hate it? Did it help? Did you get DH to read it? If so did it help with your relationship?
Thanks Ladies (and Gentlemen if you have any say in the matter)

How do you disengage w/o losing your mind or the roof over your head?

My BFs 4 kids have only been back from their summer visit with their BM for less than two weeks and Im already losing my mind.The 2 oldest are no problem,the 2 youngest are used to getting away with everything and never having any consequences.Heres what Ive been dealing with:
SD8 and SS7 never chew with their mouths closed.I have to to ask them to do so several times through-out dinner.This pisses BF off.Not at them of course,at me for picking on them.

Mom and Dads bedroom=kid free zone: Yay or Nay?

Good morning all.I need some feedback on an issue the fiance and I arent agreeing on.
At the end of the day I can finaly sit down and relax I do so in our bedroom.The skids wanna come in and hang all over Dad.I have no problem with them coming in to talk to us or spend a few minutes in there but I want to be able to chill and decompress without a bunch of kids lounging on my bed,hanging all over my man and talking non-stop about pretty much nothing.

Bed wetting by the SD and its inevitable effect on my relationship.Please give me your feedback!

Hi all,Im looking for any advice on how to handle this because apparently the way Im trying to handle it is wrong.My skids just got back home from their summer visit with BM.SD8 spent the first night home sleeping with my BD12 and SD12.I was at work yesterday morning and BD12 texted and told me that SD8 had wet the bed.I told her to have SD8 take the sheets and put them in the laundry room and I would handle it when I got home.When I got home I took SD8 aside and asked if she had wet the bed,she said no,that she just got sweaty in her sleep.Hmmm.I saw that she had left her P.J.s in the bath
