Alienation
Just thought this is a subject that needs to be addressed. 99% of all these complaints boil down to alienation. As long as we allow the alienation, we allow the ex's to control our lives. Alienation is something that judges accross America need to get a grasp on, FAST!
Thank the good lord, my time with the step kids seems to be going by fast. The oldest will be 18 in May, this means June will be the last child support payment on that one! YAY!!!!
Meanwhile the attitude now that they have learned that we are having a 2nd child together is unbearable since they came back from thier mothers house. They were both so happy when we told them the news. A week with thier mother and that all changes. Oh well, I guess all I can do is try not to gloat that I now know that she knows and is PISSED about it.
Unfortunately, it comes with more alienation from the kids to thier father who does not deserve it. He gave them BOTH new cars for thier birthdays, SS is 17 and SD is 16, to the tune of a grand total of $40k between the two cars. You think they would be grateful and show some respect. Unforntunately, I warned him, he is chocking his kids with the silver spoon they were born with in thier mouths, but he does not listen. He thinks they will get nicer at some point.
Sad and sick....

Yes alienation becomes good leverage. I see it in my family and the spoiled behavior also. My fiance and I were on this subject earlier. I see a lack of humility and humbleness and I would love my step children to have an experience that would make them more aware of other peoples needs.
The lack of respect from your step children to their Dad may also include a feeling of entitlement. There would be no need for them to be grateful if their feeling is... receiving a car is what their Dad is "supposed" to do. Hopefully they will bond with the new baby and the experience will bring you all together as a family. You can't help but adore a new baby :)
