Don't know what to do
I got married 4 years ago, my husband has two kids from previous relationship(they were never married), everything was good so we decided to have our own kid. His ex used to bother once in a while, you know those messages lying but I didn't listen, she also threatened him with the kids and all that drama. I didn't have any problem with his kids coming to stay at our house whenever their mother let them. Two years after our marriage (two years ago) she dropped the kids at our house with all their stuff and never came back to picked them up, since then my life became a nightmare, they were 6 and 8 y/o and I have to raise them myself plus my baby, I hate living like this, I cannot do anything or go do something because I have to take his kids with me, nobody in her family wants to watch the kids, nobody in my husband family want to help watch them, I have no help, my family lives in a different country . I always feel myself and my daughter left aside, everybody always gives them more attention than my daughter because they don't have a mother, I have done a lot for those kids since helping them with their homework, wash their clothes, cook their food, get them ready for bed and school. I work from home and watching three kids doesn't gives me much time to work. I feel alone, I don't have any comprehension from my husband everytime I try to tell him how I feel, he calls me a dramatic. His mother always buys presents for the two kids and leaves my daughter watching and it hurts me but she says it's because they don't have a mother and my daughter has one who can buy her stuff. I sometimes feel like divorcing my husband, I feel that I would be better without that burden anymore, but I feel like a bad person and don't want to be like their mother. Every time I tell them to do something, they go and ask their father if they have to do that like if my word doesn't matter. I am 26 years old and I want to go out, have fun with my husband, I want to live my life because you only live once, I'm tired of being at home all the time, he doesn't care about going out and having fun anymore. I don't even know how long it will last.

Your SSs are home for the
Your SSs are home for the summer. Have Dad arrange for summer activities and some day camp for these older boys. How old is your little one? Use some part time daycare for baby so you can get some work done and have some free time.
Hire a babysitter to be able to go out occasionally in the evenings. If your husband refuses to go out, leave him to all his children for the evening and go without him.
You're only as stuck and isolated in that house with all thee children as you let yourself be. Same as to all the homework and laundry. There is no homework now for summer, but let Dad know come start of the next school year, homework is now him. Teach thee older kids to do their own laundry and assign your husband to some regular laundry and some cooking.
Your husband cant make the older kid's mother come back, but you can make your husband stand up and parent them. You can also request he does his share of taking care of your joint baby.
My little one is 3 years old,
My little one is 3 years old, but I don't mind watching my daughter, the day I decided to have her was because I was going to take care of her for the rest of my life, I just didn't expect this happening and it's very frustrating. The kids mother is ten years older than my husband and is not the first time she runs away and leaves her kids, she has two more kids she left before the ones she has with my husband, so it's nothing new for her.
Hi, I actually work from
Hi, I actually work from home, I started working from because I was attending college which I had to leave for a while. BM is just gone, doesn't pay child support or anything, I guess that's why the family doesn't want to say where she is.
I don't have a bank account,
I don't have a bank account, we share one, I started my own business last year, selling online which is doing good, it takes a lot of my time too. Many time I have tried to get an account but my husband get offended, he thinks we should share everything since we are married. But I think is time to start saving my own money, we never know what can happen in the future.
lol. Yeah...it sounds like
lol.
Yeah...it sounds like what he "shares" with her is ALL of the responsibility for watching and raising his two children....
That would be awesome for the
That would be awesome for the kids and me, but my husband doesn't want to pay for anything even a babysitter to help. I feel like running aways sometimes.
"Boys and Girls Clubs" are
"Boys and Girls Clubs" are all over the USA. The cost is $10/year to join. In my area, they offer free breakfast & lunch, activities, field trips, music classes, school tutoring, as well as, social activities & community service.
My SGS' are both enrolled and active in the local chapter. They actually catch a small shuttle bus from school.
