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.

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.
I find little ways to diss my spouse’s ex without being discovered. It keeps me sane.
I am happy when the stepbrats are terrible so I have an excuse to leave. Their father will NEVER change it was a big mistake to get involved with them.
i sometimes lock my 3 year old in his room because i need a time out
I have been trying to limit my 3 year olds TV time, but the only time I get anything done is when he’s watching a show. So, he watches more than I admit in order for me to get in the housework, a workout and a shower…my only two “me” things in a day.
I decided to try one more time to help my clueless husband with his egregious parenting skills and when I gave him some excellent guidelines he pretended to read the stuff and lied that he appreciated it. Nothing will change, but my respect for him has. It’s so sad, I really do love him.
I am married to a great guy. He’s constantly gone from home for work 5 to 6 days a week. We have two children and one on the way and I work outside the home. I constantly dream of having a wife of my own. The verison of “me” that I’d like to be.
I work two jobs, have two kids, and a husband who’s only home one day a week (thanks to his two jobs) We just found out we’re pregnant. Really?! I don’t think I can do this. I’m scared, I’m tired, I’m overwhelmed. I truly feel like a horrible person and I’m not proud in the least of the mother I’ve become. I’m constantly on edge and can’t get a moments peace. I hate everyone and everything. the old saying is “you’re never given anything that you can’t handle.” Personally, I think someone has issues with misplaced trust.
Ok I know this is not a good thing to say but my son is sick today. at least that is what the dr. says. and you know what..I much rather be at my job right now! The kid has been up for about two hours and is driving me crazzy!
My daughter has a C in Algebra and I really don’t care.
I finallly got away for a few days and was so full of peace, I had panic attacks and severe dread about coming home. I want to get on another train and just go.
sometimes i think if i could slap my husband all would be right with the world
My husband pissed me off so bad the other night that when I made his sandwich for his lunch the next day, I didn’t shell the eggs for his egg salad sandwich.
My new fantasy is to go to a spa for the weekend BY MYSELF. No husband pawing at me, no kids. I would take a sleeping pill each night and a nice hot bath before bed. During the day, pedicure, massage, whatever the hell I wanted. Watch whatever movie I wanted and eat what ever I wanted. 2 nights of pure self indulgence…..things I did before kids
