Been fussing for weeks about leaving the door open. Dog gets out, flies & bugs get in. I fuss at the step kid for leaving the door open & the dog get lose. A few hours later I start outside the dog runs past me as soon as I open the door. I ran to grab the dog before she got off the deck. So SS is sitting on the couch yelling at me that I'm not suppose to leave the door open & I need to shut the door behind me. Next it's here go put your movies and DVD player up, don't just throw them down put them up. Five me later I find them all just thrown down. SS is laying on my bed.

BM has the steps in "counseling". They've been in it off an and on since the divorce. She therapist/counselor hops them to benefit her. One of the kids (I feel) has anger management issues & lack of self control. This one has been diagnosed as ADHD & is currently on medicine for it. I've been trying lately to work with him on keeping calm and thinking before he acts. Every time something happens after it's over I ask what happened or why did that happen? Bc you lost control of your emotions.

I know kids pick up words any where.. But it's almost every day that the step kids are over my 3 year old says one of them says something. He doesn't say stuff if they aren't here. We don't use that language in our home. Not saying no body has never said shit or ass in front of them when with us. Last year the youngest step started telling our little one to say "shit" when he wid be in trouble or get mad at us. However, we don't say bitch, asshole, f**k. The oldest step kid told me how their mom and her husband use the F word all the time and call each other names.

Bs got sick over the weekend with strep and ear infections. Apparently there was also a virus going around church that hit EVERY kid there & some of the adults are getting it now. Today I come in from work and the house has been TRASHED.. I find spice bottles in the floor, bottles of jelly in the floor, BSs bottle of antibiotics in the floor, about 10 towels scattered, empty pizza boxes, pizza in their room.. Where was DH you ask... In the bath tub trying to break his fever..
