Let me count the ways.....

1) he wipes snot on my couch
2) he constantly interrupts and talks incessantly thru every movie, but doesn't watch the movie. And constantly asks ABOUT the movie and makes retarded comments.
3) he is totally lacking any table manners,, talking with his mouth full, reaches across food, and smacks.
4) someone has convinced him he is "cute" and "crazy" and feels the need to act this way, seeking affirmation.
5) he is grossly overweight, surpassing my bs13 in clothing size, and is unable to wear actual pants..because they cat find Amy to for him at the dollar store. Watching him eat and listening to him tell his dad proudly that he ate his whole box of chocolates while dad was showering repulses me.
6) he failed 1st grade. And now everyone thinks that he is so smart, and so happy is getting principals list now. He Damn well should be. He got to start over.
Ss8 has now taken to alert everyone that his dad has left him alone at home. My dinner was spent listening to SS tell dad he did indeed leave him alone, and dad insisting he didn't. Which, if untrue, the child is making up a lie against dad and he did nothing. And if true, then I'm not real impressed with dear old dad. My only comment was that if this was a made up story, that is not good for him to go telling everyone things like that. After seeing the whole event play out, I'm thinking the boy is telling u truth and daddy is walking a thin line, considering he doesn't even have court ordered visitation.

And somehow, SO is baffled that I no longer want to live with him, and have lost any inkling of sexual desire for him, and its not even an option when SS is here.
And yes, SS was given clear instructions ny SO, that I'm not accusing you, I'm just saying if it was you, don't ever put boogers in the couch again. That was the end of it. Well, it certainly wasn't me, and SS slept with his head inches from crime scene. My guess is it wasn't bs, since he didn't even come in here all night. That leaves you, and ur kid. Way to go on that punishment dad. I'm sure he won't, for the fear of god right? And not repeat the ah hmm, lie he has made up.

Wow...really? The Apple doesn't really fall far from the tree does it? And from what I have seen of this kids gene pool, he doesn't stand a Damn chance.

Doesn't anyone else always feel like they are missing some of the pieces when dealing with a step family? Like u often aren't getting the while story, or being excluded from information because they know its bad? That's how I feel today. Like I have been left out of the meeting, and things aren't adding up. Well, thankfully, I lived through the night... But this coming weekend will be 3 weekends in a row. And I'm not sure this relationship will make it thru this next one. I guess this is my test, and reality ck, of what my life will ne like if he gets full custody.

And I live this man, but I just don't think I can or want to do this anymore. This freaking sucks. To tell a man, I don't want to be with you, because you suck as a parent, and ur kid is repulsive and rude. That the constant issues have killed most any emotions I felt, and I have list hope and the desire to even think I could try to make it work. And that I'm not so sure its even worth trying anymore? Ugh. I freakin hate being the bad guy!
