At my DP and his children.

I can't even face going into it as it's all so childish on everyone's part. One minute dsd hates me then shes trying to be my best friend. She doesn't want to wear the clothes I bought her and she doesn't like me causes a massive rift between me and dp me and her and dp and her mum . Then she comes over like butter wouldn't melt and being all nice. And I've just to accept it and get over it.

Sorry but in my opinion it's not fair that dsd gets to choose what mood everyone is in. (Thats how it feels) If she is happy then we all have to be. If she is in a mood we are all to fall out. I can't keep up. It's driving g me mad and I'm so glad I'm going out for the day!!!

Step away. You choose what mood you're in.

It's very hard to be a stepmum. And it's probably even harder to be a stepdaughter. Because inevitably that means your family of origin is broken.

Try to have a nice day by yourself. And, ridiculous as this seems, try not to take it personally.

It's taken me suuuuch a long time to learn this. And there are still thing that really hurt. But it is what it is.

Flowers from me too.

Thank you.

I'm just annoyed because dp has told me to do one thing so I'm doing that but I feel like he is forcing me to do stuff with the kids when right now I don't really want to. He will say things like dsd likes doing this so we could go do it. And I'm thinking why would I want to. She doesn't like me.I wouldn't put myself in a room with adults I don't like or that don't like me.so why should I with his kids. But I know it's different.

Anyway I'm off out and I'm gonna have a good day.
