My husband’s ex just tore into me in front of her children. It was horrific, and I shot back. It felt good but what a terrible scene. Two months ago my husband’s mother did the same thing to me. I just smiled. I think it is time to leave this dysfunctional family. Trouble is, I love my husband very much.
My stepkids just got the cutest haircuts. They are scared their mom will cry and scream but she won’t take them for cuts. She wants us to spend tons of money at a fancy stylist and wants the boys to look like girls. It is so hard to explain to the kids it’s THEIR hair and they needn’t worry who likes it or be scared of people who throw fits over nothing, without just saying their mom is a stupid b*&^%
Last year I lost my first and only baby (girl) due to a miscarriage. My mom and my boyfriend thought it would be best to keep trying but i didn’t want to in fear that i would loose another child. A few months after i adopted a darling puppy who i swear has the attitude of what i would expect from my daughter. Very prissy, loves anything pink or fluffy, likes to dance and listens to no one. I’m starting to think i no longer want to have kids. I have the greatest “doghter” in the world. Now how do i tell my this to my boyfriend and mom?
Sometimes, I just want to scream at my 3 year old, who talks non stop to “shut the f$%# up”
I wish I had a job so I could get away from everyone and socialize with some adults.
Sometimes when my toddler picks her nose I don’t stop her. Better she get it out than me! I just wait til she strikes gold, wipe off her treasure with a napkin and then make her wash her hands in soap and water.
I wish I lived in a world with my boyfriend and our children and only had to deal with other people we liked, when we wanted. And I wish we didn’t know what was happening in every corner of the world every moment. It is too much and I can never feel at ease or happy, just lucky and hopeful things can get better for others.
I am so glad my husband does not look like the stud he is… if people knew, they would be drawn to him like bees to honey
My husband and I were inches from divorce but now it’s like when we first met. I can’t stop thinking about him and don’t like to wash for hours after we make out.
My family never helps me and sometimes I fantasize about some kind of inheritance so I can jumpstart my life.
I can’t go into toy stores without crying since my child is gone. I will never be the same. I will probably never walk into another store that has kids’ stuff.
My sons have moved away and my daughter refuses to speak to me for some reason. I feel like I had children and now they’ve passed away. It is so hard and heartbreaking.
I feel guilty about everything I do and don’t do, and thinking about what I say and do and think is the hardest work EVER. I hope to uncondition myself and be a better role model for my children.
Sometimes I feel depressed and fearful for no apparent reason and then realize my parents were not supportive and unconditionally loving toward me and my sis. I will not do that to my kids.
I love my husband more than I can say, but I’ll never get over some things that have happened and things I’ve given up. I feel sad all the time but try to be positive around the kids.
My stepkids’ mom is so ridiculous! She can’t even take care of herself, much less mother them. And she lies on forms alllll the time about her kids, saying they have disabilities and they do not! She has a serious problem and it is sad she wants to keep them down, too.
Some days it is seriously just not fun to be me…
I felt like I was going crazy and needed counseling until I read this book and realized I am normal. Finally somebody is saying the truth about motherhood! Thank you
How do I make my husband understand that while I dearly love and adore my children, I absolutely HATE being a mother?
How do I make my husband understand the I love my children dearly but that I absolutely HATE being a mother?
I was telling my husband what a narcissist and brat he is, and then I realized I could have been talking about my dad or my brother. They are all selfish pigs who can’t admit the truth about anything and just want to be worshiped!
I can’t stand my husband. He’s fat, lazy, immature, and wants me to go on psych meds cause he says I’m nuts if I think something is wrong. It makes me withdraw and then I am not a very good mother to our son.
My husband cares about Money, His Momma, His Brats, and His Ex; in that order. I am divorcing him and taking all I can of his beloved money.
I am so happy since I’ve decided to leave my husband and his brats.
My “soulmate” has turned out to be a sack of sh@#$%^. He is the worst father and partner and he is married to his hideous and empty and rotten motherfreak.
My husband thought he was protecting his facade by sending ME to a shrink like I was crazy. The shrink said I am sane and mature and HE is messed up and I should run for my life right away! Touche’and love the irony!
My husband is so stupid he doesn’t realize that his behavior doesn’t impress me; in fact, I am leaving him.
My “perfect man” completely changed after we got married. He is now a lazy, self-centered pig raising two sociopaths and I don’t exist.
I feel like puking when my husband is slobbering all over his little brats and telling them how cute they are. They could not be more obnoxious or selfish, just like him and his ex. They should’ve stayed married , they are so perfect for eachother!
I finally understand those words from “Love Story” about never having to say you’re sorry. My husband apologizes so often he must never think or feel like a sensitive human.
i’m fat and don’t care
I do not want to become my mother.
I drink a glass of wine everyday at 2pm.
I would rather eat fast food every night. I can’t stand my own cooking, my mother never taught me how.
Come Monday I’m ready for my husband to go back to work
My husband thinks I am mentally ill. He said that about his ex, too. Hmmm, seems to be a pattern here when we figure out who HE really is… and isn’t.
My husband has started an annoying tic that involves a short snuffle sound in his nose constantly. I wish he would shove his kids up there and just blow the whole mess away!
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.
