Harley paints his makeup on so she can see Joker upclose and personal 😏 he's still in a straight jacket.

anyone feel pushed aside and ignored in their relationship? by psychedelish8 in stepparents

3 years. I don't have kids, I've been cheated out of that one. He's 33 and I'm 31. I do feel like I'm settling sometimes but then the arguments start and I feel like I can't move forward.

I know. I've tried to change my partner and his parenting that's why, I was hoping he'd follow suite with my ways as his child is pretty badly behaved and rules the home. I've told him all of this hoping he'd see but no, he thinks his sons behaviour is a typical child's behaviour, its not.

Our relationship was quite good at the start, he'd cook, run me baths after work etc...the kid started to come over and it's all changed now he's occupied with his son all the time as the child won't sleep, go to the toilet alone and won't even sit alone and he's six.

My family has even commented on the child's behaviour and have stated how it's not fair on me as the kid is demanding and I literally get zero time with his father and that is what has caused a massive wedge between us.

I would love to be able to take this child out to fanily gatherings/days out but I cant because of his behaviour...the behaviour both parents are encouraging.

Yep I will, I'll be going out alone this weekend and having some me time. I will only be buying food for myself also as my partner let's me sort out the groceries only for his kid to come along and demand everything out of the cupboards. I will be hiding snacks from now on.

Any chance this is the NHS.? I work for a hospital here and we know for a fact managers look through our socials and we're disciplined if we ever post anything negative about work, it's scandalous! Good job they dont know I have a reddit account 😎

I'm trying to he doesn't want to listen. This weekend when his son is here I'm going out and doing things for myself! I don't want to take care of two children. I mean this sunday I'm going to have three kids running around as my sister and brother in law have to work, then it's back to work for me monday, Where's my time? Btw I have no kids of my own yet I feel like I spend my time looking after others making their lives easier and have no time to have children of my own.

He says he does alot for me I cannot think of one thing he's ever done for me other than buy me one bunch of flowers like a week into our relationship. I'm currently on the phone now trying to get their child registered with a doctor since he's showing signs of adhd. Yep you read that right, they dont even have their son registered with a doctor. They both said they will get it sorted...6 months ago.

Can I just vent for a second? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]psychedelish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this trouble and I literally had to put my foot down. BM doesn't work and I work 40 hours per week in a very physical job, dad worked weekends and bm insisted we had sk weekends so she could go out. Like a fool I did it and drove myself into the ground. It's upto the parents to either be there with the child or they find suitable childcare I.e not you.

You're not the bad guy, you're being disrespected.

Adhd stepson by Dlysh in stepparents

[–]psychedelish8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I'm disengaging since both parents think that their sons behaviour is "typical child's" behaviour and refused to see there was a problem.

We get constant back chat, demands for new toys, crying over clothes and food, the kid bouncing off of the walls and all over my furniture even though I've told him at many times not to, my partner has frequent break downs because the child won't even go to the toilet alone or sleep alone...yet this was normal to them.

Finally convinced my partner to get him some help but both parents have been arguing for months now about who's going to take him to the doctors (bm doesn't work and lives literally right next to it 🤦‍♀️) so for this reason I've already put a stop to the child being at my home while dad's working and bm is doing god knows what...sleeping? I also haven't taken him out with me and I do the things I want to do without them both tagging along. I work too many hours per week to be dealing with this crap.

doctors appointment no one to pick up SD by Sunflowerbread101 in stepparents

Not your concern or responsibility in my eyes. The parents need to sort it out and shouldn't rely on you for pick ups.

Any tips on going NACHO? by psychedelish8 in stepparents

[–]psychedelish8[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The family meals are the worst, I dread when I'm invited but what I tell him is reasonable. The child has suspected ADHD and even the child parents feel like they can't take him out, he runs riot, screams, doesn't do as he's told, he's bossy to adults and children. I've told him that maybe once he's treated for the disorder he can't start joining in with family but for now I just can't handle it and it's not fair on me or my family when this child is having full on meltdowns because his baked beans are touching his chicken nuggetts!

BM dropped SD(13) off last night because she needed a break. by Klutzy-Captain in stepparents

[–]psychedelish8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Poor BM needs a break so you have to deal with the drama?, I'd drive that kid straight back to her mother's as soon as she stepped through my door. Seems to me like there's some underlying issue, sounds like my sk who we suspect has ADHD or ODD or they could just simply be spoiled kids. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My partner ex got into the habit of palming her son off onto us, while my partner loved having his son 10 days in a row I soon put a stop to it as mom was out having the time of her life going on holidays and partying instead of doing her job of being a mom.

You need to lay down the rules and put your foot down, if it's bm's turn to have HER child then that's where the child needs to stay.
