So Easter came and went and we did not get to see my SS because it was not our weekend so this weekend I decided we would do a late Easter for him while we had him. As always, nothing is good enough. I bought lots of toys and a really nice Easter basket and we took him to the zoo and also did an Easter egg hunt. The basket was tossed off the bed (unopened),the toys were opened and insulted for various reasons, he complained and nagged the ENTIRE time we were at the zoo and the Easter egg hunt was simply an inconvenience to him. Of course, as always, my husband makes excuses for him. I'm sick of spending my time and money on a selfish, ungrateful kid. Life would be so nice with a cool step kid and believe me, I go above and beyond to please him so there's no reason he should be acting like a little turd. Oh well.....just had to vent

I've been on this stepmom ride for a little while now and I'm definitely getting tired if it. Daddy will be handling Easter from now on for sure

I hope your guy is worth all of this as you seem to think. Don't have children with him. I predict this marriage will come to an end over this kid and you don't want to have produced more children for the divorce machine. If you want children leave and find a guy without any.

Thanks for this helpful article! I will be referencing it often. It's nice to know that other people have gone through the same thing and have found a solution to make life less complicated. I definitely see myself in this story and can see what I need to do differently

Rest assured, after 5, 10 years this spoiled brat will not remember anything you did FOR him but he will have a bunch of complaints about you. Not once in ten years has anyone thanked me or patted me on the back for taking on a brat that wasn't mine, when in fact I think I deserve a medal for altruistic services. All the school runs, meals, cleaning, treats, presents, outings etc - means nothing. But apparently I am the reason for everything wrong in his life. So don't waste your time or you will regret not spending more time on YOU and wasting it on this kid.
