fighting .....again
Dec 03 2008

well we are having the kids (hubby's other 2) over this weekend.

my kids are asking to go to the carols by candlelight on sunday night, well a few months ago i bought a cd with christmassongs on so they can learn some of them, and i was planning on taking them, but i dont think my hubby will want to go, and i'm not sure what time he intends taking the kids home as he told their mum he would drop them off this weekend. (seeing as he got his licence back)

i need to talk to him but i went off at his son on tuesday night and he is still not really talking to me as he interveined and i went off at him too...

he went out as soon as he got home yesterday, i called him to let him know dinner was nearly ready and he said he'd be home in 20 minutes and 2 hours later he strolled threough the door like nothing had happened and started ordering the kids about so i told him to leave them alone as he hadnt been here 10 minutes and was going crook at them.

just on bed time (when i had asked my eldest to go and tuck them in for me) he decided he wanted to play with them, and i said it is time for bed and he was "well i'm trying to interact with them.... i said yep that would be great but an hour ago..." it is bedtime now..." (it was 8:30 and he was hyping them up....argh!!!!)

oh well i might just take my kids and let them have the night out... wait and see...

dont know much but every argument we have had in the last 6 months has been over his son, or he has caused it. what to do i just dont know,

i had words with him yesterday morning, and told him that i am sick of him causing fights between me and his dad, and i am not going to put up with it anymore, so it had better stop or else...

i put him on the spot too, as i asked him if this was how his mum accused her boyfriend of "picking on him" (this was what he told us when he first came to live with us...)and he said yes, so i asked him who is in the wrong???

well he has to think about his actions for himself as i have made it clear that i am not treating him any other way than i am now, and that is it, if he dont like it then he can deal with it... if he stuffs up i am going to tell him... and if he has any objection to me running my house the way i want then he can bugger off to where he came from..

i hope i am doing the right thing, im sure if my hubby finds out that i had that conversation with him i will be in the shit big time.... oh well we all have to take chances dont we???

It's your house, Cinderella. That son is a visitor there. He should not be allowed to disrupt your household. LOL...neither should your hubby, for that matter.

I think you did the right thing. Kids need consistency. Hubby obviously needs a reminder of this.

Choose your battles wisely, but I think you're doing the right thing.

I agree that it is your house, but his son is not that his son is a visitor. I do know how hard kids can be on a marriage. Especially when there are kids from different marriages. Blended families can be rewarding and stressful. I do not think it was wrong for you to put your foot down. It is your home and he has to follow your rules. That can be a sticky situation when he is your stepson. My husband and I have three and three. I have been hurt many times by his children and believe me they tried to cause trouble in the early years of our marriage. We have been married 7 years and things are good now. When I look back, I have never been sorry that I controled my home and did not let the kids cause trouble between my husband and I. The only way this will work is to have a united front. If your son does not want to listen, then it may be neccessary to send him back home to his mother. I may be out of bounds with what I am saying to you, but stress increases your health problems and it may become a choice between your health and the health of you marriage to not have him living with you. Your husband needs to get on track and think about what his actions are doing to you. I hope things get better. I will pray for you and your family. I know first hand how bad it can be.
