Venting....Am I the only one?

Anticipating "the walk-in"...am I the only one who dreads when their Skids come home? Either gone for a school day, weekend, out for a few hours....just seems like all is right in the world when he is not around. Especially since I have to go into "blocker" mode when he walks in. UGH...just don't want to be bothered.

Ohhhhh yea. I hear that. Skid

Ohhhhh yea. I hear that. Skid comes in the house and I'm immediately uneasy, mostly because he's a little prince and DH suddenly bends to his every whim. I dislike SS around because it makes me the stranger in my own house.

OMG...I can't imagine feeling

OMG...I can't imagine feeling like a stranger but I sure don't feel like myself. I'm always on guard or irritated...so unnecessary. Feel like I immediately catch an attitude when that door opens.

Me too. Things have been

Me too. Things have been really stressful ever since the skids started school this past fall. I got sick in September and it lasted until December. Doc says it was probably walking pneumonia. I'm fine now but I have NEVER been that sick in my life.

I know I'm getting a constant flow of cortisol through my system because of all the stress I feel when skids are around. Sometimes I think it's going to be the death of me. I wish I could find a way to control the stress, be happy and healthy, and actually live to see the day that visitations end, CS ends, and BM has nothing to nag us about.

YEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i anticipate it, but dont

i anticipate it, but dont dread it. i dont like to be flooded with instant chaos so i need to be mentally prepared.

thank goodness dh is wonderful. their practices never end at consistent times, but dh will call me and let me know they're on their way home. not only does that let me know "we're ok right now but start worrying if we're not there in a reasonable amt of time", but also gives me a chance to mentally prepare.

i love my skids, oss and mss by themselves are ok, yss is not. also any combination of more than one skid equals instant chaos. i need a minute to brace myself!!!

For sure...the bracing

For sure...the bracing yourself is helpful. I refuse to get sick over it...but I don't like who I have become. I usually have a routine of homework and chores that are to be jumped on when they get in from school but somehow SS seems to think he start whenever he wants to. I'm over fussing about it. Helps me keep some of my sanity.

It's funny - I don't dread

It's funny - I don't dread the FSK's coming (EOWE) but it's the leaving. I always get so defensive and bitchy on Sunday. My FDH and I were talking about it the other day. I think it's because BM comes to my house to pick them up and just hearing her name makes my teeth grind. I feel stupid about it but there it is.

On occasion after they are here though, yes, I catch attitude like you describe. Mostly because sometimes they show up like little mini BM's with her attitude and it pisses me off.

You are not alone!It starts

You are not alone!It starts with the door slam and the house shake (seriously).

and then......

SD17 is 5" nothing and stomps around like a 300lb man.

SS20 has sinus issues and I always think to myself "let the snot noises begin".

Within 10 minutes I can expect "what time is supper and what are we having, I'm hungry??!!"

I cry a little sometimes and then I shake myself off, get in the kitchen and make some supper. :?
