But I'm worried about you

We're not going till 1:30 - DP has gone to pick dsd up so he'll be busy with her till we go

Please don't do a search, I will never be able to come on here again!

You don't have to say anything if you don't want to but I've got an hour and a half spare if you need ne

Nothing much is wrong, just the usual crappola of being a stepmum. Had to put up with dp,dss and dsd all taking the P out of me and laughing at me yesterday evening because I got stressed about the amount of mess they were making.

Nothing major, but in the end I walked out and left them to it. They have gone out this morning and left me to clear it up!

Its Crappola!

Also no sleep doesn't help.

NotActuallyAMum · 25/02/2006 11:59

That's not on

Does he actually realise he's done something wrong? Have you cleared the mess up? I'd like to say if it was me I'd leave it for them to do but I just know I wouldn't be able to sit in a messy house

Squirrel3 · 25/02/2006 12:05

Oh yes, he knows! I haven't seen the stepkids since last night when I stormed out.

I spoke to dp and asked him why he tells me to tell them off and when I do he just makes them laugh at me and they all take the P. I told dss off for laughing at me and he said that "its Dad's fault, he is making me laugh", I looked around at dp and he was behind me pulling faces as I was telling dss off.

I am really upset and angry!

This is my home, why am I made to feel uncomfortable in it when the stepkids are here?

Its not right!

Sorry for the rant! I'm sorry to be a pain in the @rse today, I really thought you would be busy with dp and you wouldn't log on today, I didn't want to trouble you with it today.

And if MN towers do not delete that msg (including the name and everything) I will have to leave.....

I'm so sorry!

OP posts:
NotActuallyAMum · 25/02/2006 12:16

No wonder, I would be too - that's totally out of order

I'd have made them leave last night instead of walking out myself - it's your house! Where did you go?

If I were you, when they come back I'd tell all of them that you're not there to be laughed at and it's not to happen again. And I'd tell DP - in front of the kids - that you don't expect him to encourage them to laugh at you

Shame you don't live closer, you could have come here for some peace and quiet

Sorry again, posts crossed the sad face wasn't in reply to your last post.

I'm mucking everythign up today.

NotActuallyAMum · 25/02/2006 12:21

I'm sure they'll delete it - but it can't be that bad!!

Time for cards on the table with your DP methinks - tell him you feel uncomfortable in your home when the kids are there, so unfair on you

And please don't apologise - you're not a pain at all

NotActuallyAMum · 25/02/2006 12:32

Are you OK?

Squirrel3 · 25/02/2006 12:33

Dp has just texted me to tell me they are on the way back, feel like going out and laeving them to it again.

OP posts:
NotActuallyAMum · 25/02/2006 12:35

Have to say I would if it was me. I know it won't solve anything long-term but at least you'll have time to think about what to say

{{{{{{hugs to you}}}}}}

Wish I could give you a proper hug

Squirrel3 · 25/02/2006 12:36

I'm fine Naam, its just the usual rubish that comes with being a stepmum, don't worry, go and have a lovely day with dp and we will talk tomorrow or monday. Mn have told me the mesage has been deleted. Thank you JJ

NotActuallyAMum · 25/02/2006 12:40

Really sorry, I'm going to have to go now - just had visitors arrive with cards for DP

Hope you can speak to DP later, I'll be thinking about you

I'll come on tomorrow when we get back to see how you are - be about half 11

claire7676 · 25/02/2006 13:19

I'll be on and off during the day if you want a chat. Lost my rag about the very same last weekend! Ended up screaming at dh (which I try NOT to do in front of kids) as he was eye rolling and generally behaving like a teenager! Hope it goes ok when they get back x

Squirrel3 · 25/02/2006 13:22
