You knew I had kids!?$#

Is the line I heard every single time DH and I fought. If I had a dollar ( dinar in my country Smile ) every time I heard that sentence, I would be a millionaire by now.

It is like saying. Oh well, I have a blue shirt. And you don't get any other information about it.

Is it sleveless or it has long sleeves? Is it dark or light blue? Is it long or short? Do I look like a idiot in it or it makes me look lady like? Etc.

So yes DH, I knew you had kids. But the thing I didn't know is that you will act like a fool when they are around. I didn't know they are entitled little creatures. I didn't know you will expect my life to revolve around them. I didn't know you will have an excuse for every bad thing they do.

In fact, the information you gave me before I fell for you was not enough for me to know what I was getting into.

You have "dodged a bullet" as they say over here in USofA.

Yeah, its like they should all come with their own individual warning labels, like on appliances:

1. Will kowtow and bend over backwards for toxic high conflict BM.

2. Will ignore you when kids come over

3. Will gaslight you and blame you for "being the problem".

etc...Ive heard that from my parents when I complained! LOL. No you do not know what you are "signing up for" when you get with someone who has children from a previous failed family attempt.

6. Will cave in to emotional blackmail from my kids because I am afraid of them cutting me off.

7. Will join BM and SKs in blaming SP for problems that existed before I met him/her. 

8. Will lavish my children with gifts they do not deserve in order to buy Thier love.

8. Will tolerate SKs disrespect towards me and SP in order to not say or do something that might upset SKs.

You wrapped this up perfectly with a tidy lil bow.

 Well said to all above.

10. Will gladly become invisible when SK's are around, except of course in the maid duties.
