Does anyone else just hate the summer?

williteverend's picture

I know it sounds selfish, but I just hate the thought of having to give up the majority of my summer to babysit (because heaven forbid we actually call what we do "parenting" - for fear of riling up the X). Summer was a lot better this year than it has been, but it is still not something that I look forward to. It is not the stepkids fault and they aren't even bad kids, but I would at least like to have the choice to say that I would rather not give up my summer this year...Any thoughts on this?

Family Event

Well yesterday was my hubby's Aunt and Uncle's 50th Wedding Anniversary Party. We got a call earlier in the day from SS asking for directions on how to get to the party. He showed up! Of course the SD was a no call, no show! If she doesn't get something out of an event or if she won't be center of attention then she doesn't come. She is so much like her biomom it is scary! Hubby says it doesn't bother him, but you can see on his face in expressions when people would ask where his daughter was that he is still hurting. Not only does it hurt him but it hurts his parents too.

Just venting...

I think that my fiance and I are on the verge of breaking up. I just don't know how to handle this whole stepparenting situation and dealing with the biomother of his son. I don't want to. I don't have any kids so it's really hard for me to accept it all. Sometimes I just feel so much hatred for the biomother for getting pregnant. They were only dating two months!! There are rumors that she tried to trap him which makes me even more angry and bitter about it all. I just don't understand why someone would do that?

Bonk! Bonk! To the Head! Turn of the Try to Give Him a Chance Dial

The old adage goes, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!! Here it is....now Friday night and still waiting to hear from SS about plans to stop off sometime over the weekend to see his Dad. Don't know what his plans are. I am so fed up, as I wanted to do something else and here we go again, waiting around. How incredibly rude! This is not the first time he's done this, but it will be the last, because we are going out tomorrow morning if he's not here, that's just tough luck. I'm completely fed up with this. Anyone else get treated like this?

What do you think?
I think it's amazing that these two woman have come together the way they have.

Do you think you could work with your husbands x?

My x's girlfreind...I could work with her..& she me..I think we can each contribute things to the kids..like they talk about on the web-site!!

As far as hubby's X she is INSANE so no for me on that count!

I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on this...

counselor bound!

Well, I'm out of ideas. I'm sick of crying everyday. I'm exhausted from the late night fights. And to top it all off, I was told last night that it's all my fault.

Hubby did admit his 'total focus' is his girls when they come out for the summer. At least he FINALLY sees that. That's my "family time" he says. (what about the other 300 some odd days of the year??)

However, everything would be just fine if I would accept this and go along, according to him. I guess I need a season pass to daddyland!!!!

Hatred.........Pure Hatred!

I was taught as a young child not to hate. I was told you don't really hate this/her/it you just don't like it very much. As I've grown older I have tried to live by those rules, but I can now say that hatred isn't a strong enough word for what I feel towards my husbands ex-wife. I have finally had enough of her and her lies, manipulations, etc. I went through a few months of complete depression because of her that I had to be put on an anti-depressant and see a counselor!

SS Calls to see if he can stop off on way back from LV

Sweetie's picture

Well, We had 2 phone calls this afternoon on the landline. No messages, but stepson called twice. Then he called and left a message on my cell wanting to know if he could stop off and visit on his way back from leave going back to his military base in FL. I told husband to call him and figure things out. I am not going to deal with this anymore. Husband will not discuss any issues with SS regarding SD or ex. And SS will mind his own business. I have nothing to discuss with SS at all. I am still very angry and upset.

New Here

I'm new to the site and now that I sit here at my computer I'm not sure what I want to write. My BF is not yet divorced from his wife, and yes, we started the affair before he even knew he wanted to leave. He has 3 children, from the wife, I have one. The soon-to-be ex-wife moved out in May, and recently the kids were told of our relationship. Things are complicated to say the least, but I'm not so stupid to start whining about a situation I put myself into with open eyes, I'm just trying to figure it all out.
