Retarded Step Son
I hate my step son with every fiber of my being. We used to only have him every other weekend and I would just hide in my room those weekends. Now we have him 100% of the time and he is driving me INSANE. I think about divorce at least once/week just because of this ** **. He did horribly in public school, so his dad decided I should homeschool him. He is ten years old, but my three year old is smarter than him. More than once, my three year old has answered a question that the little fuckwad didn't know the answer to. He can't do simple mathematics, can hardly read (and chooses to read my daughter's board books when he's forced to read), still can't spell three letter words, etc etc etc. I will present information to him in a million ways and try to make it as fun and as exciting for him as possible and he won't grasp a ** lick of it.
He still ** AND ** himself. No joke, one day I kept smelling something foul and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I thought maybe the cats and taken a dump, so I cleaned their box.... NOPE. I smelled it all through breakfast and while I did my morning chores. I took a shower and had to pass his room and realized that I smelled the stench again. STILL didn't occur to me that the idiot had ** himself, so I went downstairs. About thirty minutes later, he was on the couch (watching ** Thomas the Train, because he is a COMPLETE AND UTTER **) and I FINALLY realized that the smell was coming from him. He NEVER EVER responds when you talk to him, so I just asked if he knew he smelled. NO RESPONSE. Then it hit me - HE ** HIS ** PANTS. I say "Did you ** your pants?" and he just stares at me. Eventually he says "I guess I'll go take a bath." UH DUHHHHH!!! Did you really ** eat breakfast, play with toys, and watch tv ALL WHILE SITTING IN YOUR OWN **? Yes, he did. And Daddy Dearest doesn't ** care. UGH.
He ** his pants CONSTANTLY. I find pissy underwear hidden all the time. I even found a stash of my daughter's pull ups that he'd ** in and hidden under his desk. STILL, Daddy Dearest doesn't give a **.
He is also ugly as **. He has buck teeth that are brighter than the sun and I want to punch them out of his scrawny ** face every time he stares at me when I ask a simple question.
My daughter adores him and tries to play with him, but gets so frustrated because he won't ever respond to anything she says. I eventually have to yell "RESPOND WHEN SHE TALKS TO YOU, PLEASE!" and he'll eventually say something totally ** stupid.
He is a complete follower with no imagination or personality of his own. When he is around his significantly younger cousins, he copies everything they say and do and laughs when he has no ** idea what is going on.
He has like three chores that he has to do every day (make his bed, empty the trash from the bathrooms, and put his laundry away). YET every single day, if you don't break it down ** Barney style for him, he "forgets" how to do them. Seriously. The other day I told him to take care of the trash and he came down with his arms full of used toilet paper and pads and ** because he "forgot" that he was just supposed to take the bags out and replace them. WTF? THAT IS A SPECIAL KIND OF RETARDED!!! Literally EVERY SINGLE DAY, I have to tell him how to do his chores again.
His NANA, who lives right across the street, babies him like ** crazy. She still picks him up and carries him on her hip through stores (he is small for his age) and rocks him. HOLY **, I cannot stand it. She thinks that he is right on track academically (nevermind that I had to purchase kindergarten curriculum instead of grade 5 after realizing that he didn't even know all of his letters) and that it is other kids who are "too advanced". She tells my husband that it is completely normal for him to pee and ** himself and that it will just go away. SOOOO DH doesn't do ** and just lets him run around completely uneducated and having more accidents than my potty trained three year old. Oh! And one time, my daughter had colored stuffed blocks with her and ** said "This one is blue!" and Nana actually said "Good job!" and made a giant ** stink about the idiot knowing what blue looks like.
I am embarrassed to take him in public because people have literally asked if something was wrong with him. So I just stay locked up in my house with the ** ** all day long.
Part 5 of dumb stepdaughter vent:
I will be able to provide a better life financially and emotionally to my kid. I will prioritize my kid. I am just afraid about how this violent little girl might have a negative impact on my child. The boys are fine and great big brothers and we talked to them before starting to try to conceive and they are fine with the idea of a new baby.
It is just her that worries me.
She has hurt me in the past during tantrums. I will not let her harm my baby.
Any advice on what to do? Her dad and basically everybody else try to pretend the problem isn’t really there and that she will catch up eventually. I don’t think she will thoug.
I have babysat plenty of little cousins and been around friends’ kids throughout my life, I never saw a child as problematic or dumb as her.
She also has very manly frautures and looks like a boy wearing a wig.
I will love a kid of mine no matter what, boy or girl, beautiful or ugly. It will be my child, after all.
But it worries me that if I do have a pretty baby (I am a model and so was my mum, so not unlikely), and that baby is a girl, that jealousy over that might set it eventually. She is already a very jealous child as it is, getting everything she possibly can by either force or crying until she gets on people’s nerves and they just give up so she will shut up.
She is potty trained, so not as bad as it could be, but I just dread the negative influence and drama she will bring into my life. I didn’t know how bad it was when her father and I first got together. If I had know I might never have started the relationship.
Part 6 of dumb stepdaughter vent:
Now I love him and his other two kids and we will get married soon and either have a baby on the way already or will soon. And I don’t wish she was never born, I agreed to be wmyself th a man with 3 kids, I chose that. I just wish she wasn’t how she is. I don’t love her like I love the boys. Not because she is a girl or any of that cr*p, but because she is a hard pill to swallow most of the time.
She can be sweet at times, but in a way a kid half her age would be. She is just so slow and delayed, I fear a kid of mine even 4 or 5 years younger than her, would surpass her capabilities in no time at all.
I feel guilty for saying all that here, but I have no one to turn to.
Like I said, I will never be rude to her, and I will keep on trying my best even though it kills me inside seeing no results. But, by God, I needed to vent!!!
I will never let my child alone with her, as I am afraid she might actually seriously harm my baby. Even when my kid is older. I would have no problem with baby bezing alone with the two other kids, but not with her.
I just wish she was different and her cow of a mother was different, because she seems to want mother of the freaking year award for doing the bare minimum and doing terribly in certain areas. So entitled, and the girl is going the same way.
Part 7 (and last! Haha) of dumb stepdaughter vent:
Her mother has actually admitted she is jealous of me for having more money than she does, having travelled more and be able to do more things in the future and provide better things for my future child. I could see the resentment on her eyes when she told me her son tells everybody how pretty I am and that I am prettier than her as well. He tells me all the time I am his favourite girl in the world and how much he loves me. He also tells me his mum is nasty and mean.
Again, sorry for the vent. I would love advice and comments from people that went through similar things in the past, as I have nobody to turn to and would actually be willing to do whatever it takes to make this better for me and my baby in the long run.
Ps: I tried posting this by itself before I found this confession and figured I should share it here too. Reading the comments made me feel like I am not alone.
Last last comment. I just realized there are a lot of typos as I didn’t proof read before submitting the comments, as I was happy to finally be able to get all of that out of my chest. Lol
Forgive the typos and I hope somebody has the patience to read through it all and reply
So what exactly stopped you from posting this as your own confession, rather than comment-jacking someone else's?
Vent away, but *7* separate textwall comments just comes off looking narcissistic and unintelligent. All the "sorry"s and "haha"s in the world doesn't offset that. Join the adult world!
