I feel like a jerk for saying this but my step kids irritate the living crap out of me. SD13 SS12 have both recently moved in and this is a difficult transition. DH makes 101 excuses for their behavior, such as cursing out teachers, he blames any negative behavior from them on the bio mom. I sound like a brat saying this, I feel neglected since they have moved in (invaded). 99% of DH conversation is about his kids or the biomom and how crazy she is. I'm just tired of discussing the same things over and over. I am almost at the point that I just want to say screw it and take our 9 year old daughter and leave. I don't know if I will ever be able to accept these kids...maybe I don't want to. How can I start to enjoy being around his kids? I truly don't know how to be happy about them being here. I'm very kind to them and they are respectful towards me BUT deep inside I don't want them here. Any advice or thoughts how to change my attitude would be greatly appreciated.
