I’m at my wits end.

My boyfriend and I have been together since April. I officially moved in the beginning of August. We are currently ttc baby #1. I don’t have any children and he already has kid from previous relationships, 2 girls with one woman, and a son with another. Yes, I knew this going into the relationship and I was ok, and still am ok, with him having kids. He doesn’t get to see his girls because of their own doing. We have his son from Sunday night through Tuesday evening.

When he first started coming here, everything was great. He got up in the morning, did the chores that were laid out for him, there were no issues. The last month or so I’d say, the attitude this child has given us is off the charts. He will be 13 tomorrow and while I understand some of it could be his age, he’s hitting puberty, he’s a boy, what have you, I’m at the point where I want to choke him when the attitude flies. Now, he is on the autism spectrum however, he’s very high functioning, very smart and knows right from wrong. He has anxiety disorders as well as some other mental health issues but he’s not a child who is so severely disabled that he needs constant supervision. We do everything possible to make him feel comfortable here yet he still comes in the door and heads straight to his room. The only time we ever see him is for dinner or something that’s good related.

What really pissed me off this morning was when I opened the refrigerator. This kid drinks milk like is water. We legit go through an entire gallon those few days he’s here. He will not drink anything else. So, last night I asked the boyfriend to bring home milk because I knew we were low. So he grabs milk, picks up his son and comes home. So the usual Sunday routine happens as well as this morning. After he left for school, I got into the refrigerator to grab eggs to make him a birthday cake. Not only is there still milk in the gallon we HAD, he opened the brand new one instead of drinking what was left in the other. Both gallon jugs were, and still are, sitting side by side. You can’t tell me you didn’t see the open jug. I mean, he’s done other things as well such as pulling my dog’s tail after being told not to since she has issues with her back and tail and then almost kicking her off the couch because he decided to roll around and horse play.

Dealing with him is starting to make me not want children. I mean, is it different if it’s my own child?

Blah... I just needed to get that off my chest. Please, no negative comments.
