Im writting this because I have no one I can talk to about this. I got married recently and he has a son who is 4 1/2. He see's him for 2 weeks every other month. I have a teenage daughter from my first marriage who lives with us full time. The point is, I am at the stage w/ my daughter that I can go out, do what I want etc. because she is almost 16 now. But when my stepson comes, he obviously needs round the clock supervision and we (i) have to figure out the babysitting situation when we are all at work. (usually my husb asks my mom to help) which she doesnt mind, but she doesnt want to do it for 40 hrs a week..anyway. I almost feel resentment for the boy because I cant do the things I want to do when he is visiting. I know it sounds horrible and I feel like the wicked stepmother, but I dont know how to deal with these feelings. I cant tell my hubby, but I think he knows..I just dont like the responsibility of watching a child again, that is why I only have my 1 daughter (i never wanted more children)...any advice would be much appreciated.
