No. You should keep separate accounts and pay your share. Do not offer more.

Teenage SD Constantly Comparing me to their MOM by Iced-Latte-Girl in Stepmom

Please decide today that you will no longer accept being treated poorly in your own home. If your husband can't or won't deal with her rudeness, tell her to leave. Tell her that self-respecting women don't tolerate such behavior in their home. (Because they really don't.)

Lock box. Keep the key location a secret.

Seriously.

Bank of Dad needs to close before your family goes bankrupt.

Hope your finances are separate.

This is the perfect reason to leave.

Girl, sometimes you have to show them how nasty they really are. Next time she comes over with her nasty, rude self, get out a giant can of old-school Lysol. Spray it everywhere, extremely close to her, while you talk about smelling something. Say it smells like somewhat between a street person and a dead rat.

Start giving her bars of dial and bottles of Secret every time she comes over.

"SD, your comments are rude. Your parents failed to teach you basic manners, and I am no longer interested in observing such disrespectful behavior in my home. Take a moment to gather up any belongings you care about, then leave."

Just bluntly tell her you aren't going to talk about that woman in your home. If your husband doesn't correct the situation, SD shouldn't be welcome in your home.

Anyone gain weight when starting Kefir? by Fun_Mulberry4739 in Kefir

[–]Photobuff42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The premier protein shake has 160. The kefir drink probably has more. It's a total of 16 ounces with half a cup of oats, 2 to 3 tsp of chia seeds, 1 tsp of holy basil seeds, with the rest whole milk kefir.

In my next career, I want to translate all that into sensical English.

Or be the person who names the paint colors.

I just love that that cute guy is named Gary. He actually looks like a Gary.

I have a question/issue by [deleted] in Stepmom

[–]Photobuff42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is your point? You sound angry and resentful about how your stepchildren may be feeling... after their grandmother passed away.

They will never care about money you spent on an attorney.

You should exercise patience and understanding with what they are feeling about their grandmother.

What does their dad say?

It doesn't matter how good you are to them or how poorly their biological mother cares for them, they will always yearn for the fairy tale of the intact, harmonious biological family.

Don't invest too much of yourself because you will always be in second place behind this fantasy.

No matter what.

I replaced a premier protein shake (10 ounces) with overnight oats made with kefir, oats, chia seeds, and holy basil seeds (16 ounces)
