I'm with a wonderful trucker who I trust completely and although I love him and miss him terribly sometimes I'm super busy with our kids, and my job and my friends and my hobbies and I can always fill my days till he comes home; then it's usually all about him and I love that too!
Issue:
I'm a new step mom to a 13 year old boy and I have a 10 year old girl. Dealing with kids this age is hard normally, but with Daddy gone all the time I am having a real hard time getting support with the kids.
He goes easy on his son because of his "guilt" over being gone a lot which has resulted in a lazy 13 year old. Understandable my man doesn't want to come home yelling at the kids for what they've done or not done the entrie time he's been away, but it's always on me!!
I feel like the big meanie all the time. The step monster who wears army boots, the HEAVY!! On top of that it's hard for for my wonderful man to have time at home to form a relationship with my girl which hurts my feelings. I go through a lot with his son, but my girl doesn't get the same amount of attention plus she has to share mine now...
