Maybe writing will help me feel better?

So...before I start...I've been reading stories on here very similar to mine. Some are actually so ridiculous and sooo similar to mine I can't help but to laugh out loud.

It doesn't take rocket science to raise a kid. Yes, I get it, it's hard to run back and forth from soccer and ballet, get them to the bus on time, find a babysitter. But, how hard is it for a parent to teach a child manners? Wrong from right? That they "NEED" to use the toilet? That "temper tantrums" will NOT help them get their own way? And when are they going to understand that "bedtime" means "bedtime?" Seriously?

A little bit about me and my husband. I'm only 26 and he is 32. We got married a month ago after being together for 4 years. He has two daughters (4 and 6) from a previous mistake of a marriage. You know that song, "She's only 17..." Well, BM was 18 and he was 22. They met and with a hug, she was pregnant. Idiots. So MY now MIL had told them they had NO choice but to get married "because that's what people do when they get pregnant." They did. Well, they hated each other. But oops, after a few beers one night...here comes another baby...as soon as the new baby arrives my NOW husband was out the door. A year later...he meets me. Educated, smart, working my way through school, NOT a drunk...no kids...secure job until I graduate then taking over an old family retail business...So anyway, we've had lots of crazy run-ins along the way...and to make it worse, he pays so much child support we are living under his mother's roof until I am done with school so I can bring in most of the income...sad. His mother is even crazier than the BM and seems to think she is the BM? Ohh my...there's so much to share!
