Practice What I Preach?

So I'm having to practice what I preach today. Indifference. Detached. I don't give a flying f**k. (Big Sigh).

I'm sitting here at the computer reading posts on this site. In the next room my DH is talking on the phone with one of my SS (age 25). DH is suggesting that SS come over and work on the house, like clean gutters, rearrange bricks, etc. I hear this and my heart just starts beating double-time.

Wicked Step Mom

I have been the SM of 4 boys for tens years now. They are all grown now. Over the last ten years, 3 of them lived with me and their dad.

Even now as twenty-something young men, I dread when they call their dad; it nearly always ends in arguments because we won't support them financially.

He's responsible, successful, rational, not on drugs, etc.)"
