I wish I had a time machine.

Because I'm tired of being a 'stepmother'.

I hate it, actually.

I hate the disrespect, the attitude.
I hate the apathy.

I hate the wasted time, emotions, sanity.

All the best years of my life are over and wasted on a brat that could care less if I was alive or dead.

 

Let me reiterate, *ahem* I DETEST BEING A STEPMOTHER.

Step child comes around and it makes me catch my breath.
Like a medium-sized black hole sucking the joy out of life.
A bottomless pit of anger and resentment. 
My heart has become an abyss.

I'm back from the UK.....the good and the bad

I'm back after spending 14 days in Scotland and England.  We dropped off my second oldest for grad school at St. Andrews Scotland

10 days in London...

I loved the UK...I must say

Your public transit is AMAZING....

I loved all the sites and the food...you all know what a proper portion size is..for the first time in forever I didn't have to take over 1/2 of my meal home.

Scotland...specifically ST. Andrews...BEAUTIFULL...loved all of it. I cannot wait to go back there.

Imagine being a poopsieberry who needs to come home to mommy for your 36th birthday

Am I crazy? My god, my parents were not perfect but they did encourage independence. By 36, I owned a house and a mountain cabin and had a fulfilling life outside of my parents. Although I continued my relationships with them and their partners, I didn't feel the need for them to pamper me during holidays. 

Seriously, open up your eyes

I am wondering what is going to happen this weekend when I don't go to senior night. I have toured several apartments and townhomes. I am sure it is going to get ugly. But anyway today SO wanted to pick up SS from practice because he hasn't seen him. That is not an issue but the issue is that SS said I will let you pick me up if you take me to the store and buy me(and it is something for sports , I am not sure ) because I stopped listening. So now in order for your dad to see you he has to buy you something. My goodness. Time for me to buy something for myself on his card.

Vegas trip and permanent ink that is apparently no so permanent...

We recently took my SS17 to Vegas. It is one of the spots where you may get a tattoo with parental consent under age 18. We took him for the sole purpose of his first tattoo that he has been begging for. He is a good kid, makes good grades, plays sports and is very well mannered. 

OT Possible New Employers

Lillywy00's picture

All that ranting about the sociopathic employers i currently have led me to get new resumes and apply like crazy

 they effed me over multiple times (whether in purpose or accident bc they're unorganized) and while I stuck it out like a overly optimistic sidekick to a Disneyland parent....now I can screw them back ---> unlubed!

TAKE THAT

If everything lines up, then estimated earning increase slated to be $10k+/year

When a step child leaves.

My SS has lived with us primarly and had visitation with his mom.  She had sent him live with us at 7 years old but kept his sister with her.  I helped my husband rasie him for 11 years. But for the last 4 years him and sister have been living with us 75% of the time.  Their mom sent my SD to live with us in 2020.  My SS has always told me ive been more of a mom to him then his own mom.
