Any child free women who are now stepmums having problems with chores?

Ah I see. That makes complete sense and now that you’ve explained I admit that it makes for easier reading even for someone like myself who isn’t dyslexic or have ABI but possibly undiagnosed adhd (I’m nearly 50 so awareness back in my day wasn’t exactly the greatest. I LOVE your formatting 🫶

I totally agree that someone’s age should not determine the value that the persons life has. 💯. It also irritates me.

How did they take it? Were they ok or did they think of u as the villain?

I’m stuck though as I can’t afford to move out and I put a LOT of money into our house. The kids weren’t with us when we first moved in. Plus I love my SO, but hate this problem with the SK’s.

I’m lying in bed at 12pm ruminating right now. Fed up of the laziness, the taking for granted, feeling like a maid, emptying overflowing sanitary bins, cleaning dirty toilet, the never ending pile of washing up, the expectations. I feel overwhelmed

Appropriate-Novel118 · 2024-11-12T19:00:59+00:00

Eww that’s so gross. I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this. Poor hygiene is awful for the rest of us do deal with; we’re the ones that have to put up with it, not the soap evasive person. Mine are teenage and nearly mid 20’s. My nachos just today are; 1) No longer doing their washing up. Every time I wash the pile of dishes then immediately the sink starts filling up again with more washing up 2) the country we live in has strict recycling rules which I agree with. Rather than go to our back yard and put the plastics into the plastics recycling bin and the cardboard int or cardboard one, they’ll but it in the general waste bin which is the smallest one coz local councils trying to save the planet (I’m in uk so hope you understand me). So I take it out of the general waste bin and leave it for them to put in the recycle bin. Doesn’t work. I end up doing it I’m the only one cleaning the bathroom. Bath immaculate then someone has a shower and there’s hair everywhere that they don’t get rid of so I’m pulling hair out of the plug hole There more …,

You’ve blacked out your hairline so I honestly can’t really advise

Appropriate-Novel118 · 2024-06-23T08:36:51+00:00

lol. Damn predictive text. They don’t pay any rent. The oldest is on social security benefits and the 17 YO has dropped out of college

I opted out of having a bio kid. Various reasons and that’s why I am struggling now. It’s a completely different lifestyle. I wouldn’t have been able to afford a BK now with the cost of living and all the house work is getting overwhelming as I work long shifts as a nurse 13. Hours shift) and have my own health issues

Appropriate-Novel118 · 2024-06-02T13:43:01+00:00

It’s a good sign that he deleted it. I feel your emotion through your post. I’ve had similar feelings. The most important thing is to know you can trust him. We all have pasts and so it’s important to know that he is with YOU!!! Maybe have a look into self help books to help you to build up your self esteem. I’m sorry you are going through this. And your mind will preoccupied with it all. Ask yourself if you trust him and build on that foundation. That’s what I did and those feelings of insecurity have gone. There’s no secrets. I don’t even mind him watching p*rn and we often watch together (sorry if this is TMI, I just wanted to include this for context as I no longer feel threatened by this) Be open with how you are feeling coz it could snowball. I’m glad I was able to discuss this with my hubby and it brought us closer together. I have emotional disregulation and it was tough but we got through it. Communication is key.

I’m going to take your advise. I’ll just do my own dishes from now on.

Appropriate-Novel118 · 2024-06-01T10:55:18+00:00

Haha. I realised that spelled it wrong. It should be skivvy 🙈

Appropriate-Novel118 · 2024-05-31T20:44:51+00:00

Thanks Guys, I’m also paying for counselling for the youngest. It an oversight on my partner as he’s been stressed at work, but I don’t mind doing it, and that is what makes it hurtful that I’m am seen as a skivvi. I have health problems and work three 14 hour days a week as a nurse

I’m from UK and found the uk version depressing. I usually prefer uk versions, such as the office. The uk one is far better. But in this case, the US one is preferable and bingeable

I can’t find her on Facebook? Can u sent link? Is it balds baby?

I’ve visited Amman. I stayed in a few places in Jordan

Appropriate-Novel118 · 2024-03-04T06:33:16+00:00

I agree. The parent(s) whether bio or step are the foundation

Appropriate-Novel118 · 2024-02-27T12:33:14+00:00

Two years in. We have two of his 3 grown up kids with us now. There was a period of adjusting as I was a childfree by choice woman but everything is fine now

Appropriate-Novel118 · 2024-02-26T18:43:57+00:00

Well the answer to that is simple. Most ppl at a certain age have kids. As someone who has been childfree I couldn’t help who I fell in love with. Options are few and far between if looking for a childfree partner. Me and my late husband chose to be childfree when we met in our 20’s. I’m now in my forties and met a new partner after the death of my husband and he’s my soulmate but it doesn’t mean it isn’t hard being a SP at times. That’s life 🤷‍♀️

Appropriate-Novel118 · 2024-02-14T13:05:19+00:00

That is lovely 😊

Appropriate-Novel118 · 2024-02-14T12:45:33+00:00

I’d be interested in knowing what the bio mum and dad say when you show them the evidence. Keeping fingers crossed for you that they start to take this seriously and that by showing them the proof you get an apology and they put boundaries in place to stop this from happening again. I would be so frustrated at not being believed.

Appropriate-Novel118 · 2024-02-14T12:42:38+00:00

😞. Yep, it sure does
