 You are just generally annoyed today, aren't you?  Are you trying to see my grumpy Friday thunder?

 No.  I'm not just generally annoyed.  But yes, it drives me up a wall crazy when women meet men with six zillion issues and then think they're all going to go away by getting married and having kids.  I CANNOT tell you how many women have written into the step mom board and said some variation of the following, "When I met my husband I hated his kids.  I also hated his ex wife.  But I figured it would all work itself out.  Now we've been married eight months and I'm pregnant with my second child by him and I feel trapped.  I still hate his kids.  I don't want anything to do with his ex wife and everyone better start treating my kids better."  I really want to respond with the following, "You are stupid.  You are really ignorant.  If you didn't like his kids you shouldn't have married him.  And procreating with a man you already have issues with is NEVER a good idea."  Then there are the women complaining and bitching about how half of their husbands check is taken away from him because he is thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars behind in child support and now it's taking food off the table for the new kids they made.  Again, my response to those women would be, "You married them knowing they owed this money.  What did you THINK would happen?"  And then there are the women who sit around and cry, literally, because they are not the "the first".  Not the first wife, not having the first baby,  and not celebrating all "the firsts" with the guy.  HE IS DIVORCED.  DID YOU NOT REALIZE THIS BEFORE YOU MARRIED HIM?  If not you're retarded and need help.  Furthermore, none of my comments are appreciated by the mods.  I've been told to please keep my comments happy and nice.

I figured that out when I was 19 and felt I was a late bloomer, NJN.

And as far as the grammar Nazi, I was known on DHH for telling someone who consistently misspelled or used incorrect grammar, get an education and you'll attract a better class of man.

I've always been told that when animals eat things like grass it's usually an instinct telling them they need it to calm their stomach or something. But with houseplants, I know there are some that might be poisonous. Hopefully the vet will give you some answers.


 Thanks FWM.  She's okay.  Vet said the plant didn't cause it.  This is her fourth seizure.  I guess we were grasping at straws.  Plant wasn't poisonous so that wasn't it.  It had been awhile since the last one.

Stress day here, postponed until tomorrow due to vets being called out of office.

Just chilling and hanging one more night with Snowy. He's restless and lets me hold him only for short periods of time. I will take it.

DH expects me to cook..

Where does he come up with these ideas?

 I don't mind an occasional misspelling.  Or an occasional wrong use of your and you're.  But honestly, when every other word is misspelled it's horrible.  People say they post from their phones and the phones do auto correct.  Well, maybe you should reread before you hit send.

Have you noticed how joggers and runners always find the dead people? I think they should be investigated more often.

I MIGHT say that if it weren't for the fact that probably 90% of the posts look like this.

Okay, here's another one. I suppose stop having kids would be mean/bad advise.

"I am not sure if any stepmoms deal or have dealt with this situation. My dh has full custody of his children. Parental rights were taken from the mothers. My ss is twelve and my sd is 15. My problem is that since me and my dh has been together she was 7 at the time. She has done nothing but be an absolute troublemaker. It has gotten bad to where cps was involved several years ago dye to her lying on us all the time. The problems have not stopped it has gotten so bad that in the last three years she was putting her hands on me. She physically attacks me verbally emotionally and physically . my dh is always working so I'm primary care taker for all our children. It dosent matter which way I take nothing seems to work. It has gotten so bad that recently my dh filed papers against the sd. She still dosent seem to understand that if she keeps up she will be taken out of our home. I feel as if I failed her in someway. Is there any advice on how I deal with all of this. Also there is eight kids in the home and one on the way."

Why in the world would you want to have anything to do with a board like that? It doesn't seem like a healthy place for anyone.

 Because that always works well!

And I joined it because I'm a step parent and that comes with issues that a lot of people don't understand if they've never been in that situation.  I could say the same thing about this board.  There's constant fighting and crazy people here too.  But I've met some really nice people and made some friends.  So over there, even though there are some crazy people without a doubt, there's also some really nice people and people I've made friends with.  And they post a lot of informational articles that I find very helpful.  They also post a lot of inspirational stuff.  And I've been told that one way to feel better about your situation is to realize you're not near as crazy as others are.  So there is that!

Done working for the day. Boy, I am wiped. will work over the w/e. Love the job, but lots of activity through the end of November. Good news is it will be 7 weeks of intense work but will know the program inside and out at that point and the rest will be be so much easier, just need emotional support for two months.

I edited it the best I could, lol. I'm sure it's still a mess.

Hello ladies, this support page has helped me a lot. I see I'm not the only one feeling the way I feel sometimes. I've been having a lot of problems trying to deal with my situation. My DH and I have been married 1 year, I have a SD7 and SS4. I have no kids of my own. Since day one BM has been horrible. Crazy. Always trying to get back with DH until she found out we got married and then all hell broke loose. She sent me a long text saying that she still had a relationship with DH and that they had sex several times when he was with me. So DH and I had a huge fight and I locked him out for a couple of weeks. All his family said she was crazy and delusional etc. She managed to hurt my marriage, but we got stronger after that incident. We started taking control of this situation, the kids  pick up times, etc. The kids are more outgoing and confident after I came in the pictures teachers, neighbors, and  his family say it. BM and I have constant fights about party's, holidays, weekends and summer. She got married to a sex offender. We had no idea. Yup ladies, Sex offender. Stepdad was in the picture for about 5-6 months. Last month we keep seeing less and less of him. She came up with the excuse that he was working out of town. We honestly didn't pay attention until one day SS came home with a busted lip and we asked what happened. He did't want to tell. We asked SD, she cried when we asked. When we left for vacation we were on good terms. So one morning out of the blue DH asked SS again and SS told him that he fell out of the chair when he went to see stepdad in jail. DH asked SD and she started crying saying mommy said not to tell. When we came back we had a big surprise, a child support letter. We have the kids more than her. This is when we found out he was a sex offender (15 year girl) OMG. We filed for full custody, they didn't give it to us since the dude was in prison. We got 50/50. To top it off, DH still has to pay child support. In court I was the bad guy, she told the judge I made the kids call me mom and I hit the kids. I got super upset because it is a lie. Judge ordered nobody other than biological parents are called mom and dad. which. She has always had help from DH's family.  His mom, grandma, and his dad. DH grandma does her laundry. Sometimes I want to run away and start fresh. I have told DH several times. My SD asks me if I will always love her, it breaks my heart.
