I told my stepson the rotten things his grandma said and did so he doesn’t feel guilty not liking her.
I am 30, and reading comments from the other mothers on here reaffirms my desire to remain blissfully childfree!
I couldn’t understand why my husband never dealt with his little kids’ serious problems. Now I see that because he has no idea who the real father is, he wants them to fail. His ex is nuts so this is tragic.
My man put up with so much garbage from his ex, that I put up signs offering “jobs” by her with her phone number on them. hehehe
Now that my senseless husband understands what a jerk he is, how obnoxious his kids are, and how utterly insufferable his disgusting mother is – I am done with him and when he says he loves me I just say thanks.
Upon divorcing my cowardly, selfish husband I thought of giving his brother’s wife the coveted family bracelet the matriarch gave me at our wedding. Thinking better of it, I sold it and went on a fun trip and flirted my ass off! My life begins anew…
I am looking hard for the bracelet my monster-in-law gave me from her “vault” so that I can hock it!!!!
My husband is the KING of denial. His kids are sickos and they will have rotten teeth and severe emotional problems and messed-up lives FOREVER because he doesn’t really care to stop it.
My husband finally admitted he lets his mom fight his battles and he loves money more than anything in the world. I said “Thanks for the honesty. Oh, and BYE!”
I told my husband”s ex that she was right about him and his mother. It made us both dance with glee. (he now says we’re BOTH insane)
I ignored my horrendous mother-in-law over Thanksgiving and now she hates me. I am so happy!
I think it’s funny when my 2 year old says no to his dad…
when I hear that another friend is pregnant, I want to say “i”m sorry” instead of “congrats” since it would be my worst nightmare to have another kid.
Out with the stepkids on a day of busy errands, my stepson had a meltdown because he wasn’t allowed to get out with my husband, but his sister was(he had gone with him the stop before). The louder he cried, the louder I turned up the radio. When he got louder, music went up again. I got dirty looks from people walking by in the parking lot, but just couldn’t take listening to a spoiled brat overdramatize about “it’s not fair”, when in all actuality, taking turns is very fair.
I woke up late one morning and the kids were still fast asleep, I went back to bed and let my son stay home from school. When he asked me why he was home I told him he had a fever in the night, so he wouldn’t tell his teacher he has a lazy mom.
When I go to the store I will drive around for 15-20 min and listen to the radio, but tell my husband the line at Target was so long.
I am leaving my fake husband so he is taking his brats to his mother’s alone for Thanksgiving. Now she will witness all the things he doesn’t tell her and maybe she won’t think it’s me who “isn’t trying hard enough”. gag, have fun and good riddance
I just got laid off from my part time job and I already feel like I am drowning. I feel like no one outside my family even knows I exist.
Today at daycare they were learning body parts. The teacher asked my two year old son where his knee was. My son’s response, “This is my penis.”
Had I have known what a bitch my mother in law is, I would not have gotten married. She is manipulative and only cares about herself. She doesn’t even phone my kids on their birthdays. When she calls, I never answer the phone. If she calls when my husband is home, I run into the bathroom and pretend I am busy. I hate her. I will throw a party when she finally leaves this earth. Hopefully soon.
OH MY GOD, worst night ever with stepsons. The second grader is so out of control and suicidal, and my husband is in complete denial. So sad and impossible to bear!!!!!!! What is wrong with people who don’t even follow the divorce decree or doctor recommendations?!
I hope my stepson’s idiot smoking mama gets sick and dies. Then his breathing and his life will get better.
My husband has broken every promise he ever made me. I hope something bad happens to him but not till he comes into some real bucks.
My husband sent me to a highly reputable psychiatrist because he and his family depress and frustrate me. My doc said I should leave him.
my Rx for some feel good appreciation I am lacking: I imaging what my household would be like after I drop dead, of say, a, stress induced, coronary. I repeat when needed.
My Rx for Some Feel-Good Appreciation that I may be lacking, I visualize what would happen to my household if I were to drop dead, from say, a coronary due to stress.
repeat when needed.
My stepson will be in prison or a psych ward. He is such a helpless drama king, thanks to his manipulative mother and no-balls dad. He wants to be told when to breathe, just like his mom. And my husband totally caters to them. My stepson is starting to ask me in an expectant way to do things for him that he can do on his own. Nobody has ever given him a chance, they micromanage him for their own needs to feel important. It’s sickening and I am losing my feelings for my husband.
It has come to the point that at least once a week I want to leave my husband and his messed up family. I’m not even trying anymrore.
I’ve come to the conclusion that kids just don’t sleep enough! On a good day, I love being with mine until about 3 or 4pm and then I’ve had enough until tomorrow.
i dream sometimes that my husband is a nother man when we are having sex
i feel like im shuting down in my marriage. My husband will not talk about things that i want to talk about concerning our relationship and its pissing me off
sometimes i blow off their homework
sometimes my kids don’t bath everyday
I sometimes wonder what my old boyfriends would think of me ..with my kids.
I told my babysitter that I get off work an hour later than I actually do so I can get some solo-mommy retail-therapy time.
I would love to have another child, but i know that when my child turns about five years old, the choke hold that i feel will lift just a bit…..thus, i will never go there again with a infant. I need to be an adult again. selfish? Maybe sane? definetly!
I feel better about myself when I’m reading the confessions of others!
When people say to me “you’ll miss them being little” I smile and nod. But inside I’m saying ‘oh no I won’t’.
I judge … I can’t help it….. I know its not right but I instantly go there….
Being a stay-at-home mom is exhausting and boring. I swear, women who say they love it must be lying…even to themselves.
I have been a stay-at-home mom for the past three years. I am anxiously waiting to hear back about a job I know I will love and that will pay for me to get my masters. I hate to admit it, but I didn’t work my butt off in high school and college to wait on and clean up after two kids all day, everyday. Being a stay-at-home mom is nothing like I imagined. I thought I would love being with my babies all the time…I hate it.
I have two children that I truly do adore, but the mere thought of having another one terrifies me.
I’ll let my daughter watch a T.V. show so that I can sneak off to eat a cookie and not have to share one with her!!
i don’t always make my kids do their homework
i left my husband and then found out i am pregnant with our 3rd child! I cried for weeks and wish every day that i had cheated and this kid wasn’t his! At least then the child would have a chance to grow up with a real FATHER!
i would love to be committed just for some time to relax!
After meeting with friends I haven’t seen since High School (26 yrs), I’ve realized that my husband and kids have sucked the life out of me.
After getting together with friends I hadn’t seen since high school (26 yrs), I’ve realized that my husband and kids have sucked the life out of me.
I walked home from a restaurant tonight rather than be in the car witth the screaming brat and his wimpy dad. It was dark and I realized I didn’t care if something happened to me. At least i’d be at peace.
My stepson is starting to talk just like his mother. When he starts the drama, such as “I might as well die” I mumble go ahead.
