Responsibility/break

Marisa

Facts first

-I’m 24, my boyfriend is 40

- I moved in when I was 21

-my boyfriends has 5 kids with his first wife she lives a few blocks away and they split custody 50/50

-I got pregnant a month after moving in

So In March 2018 I moved in got pregnant and my boyfriend saw his kids in the morning, dropped them off for school they came to the house for about 2 hours after school and then their mom picked them up and we got every other weekend.

In July of 2018 my boyfriend converted the second bedroom that was suppose to be room for all his kids into a room solely for his son and let him move in with out so much as discussing it with me.

His son has a lot is behavioral problems, honestly all his kids are pretty much feral, he works all day and his wife goes out drinking, partying with her boyfriend so the kids 18,15,13,11,6 all stay home alone together. Like seriously imagine if you just leave a kid home alone from the time they are 6 no rules, no structure, no chores, only “ask the 18 year old if you need something”

Since I cut my work hours since having my son I have really tried to pick up the younger ones and have them at my house or take them out with me. It is very stressful though to add one or two kids to my day though on top of my toddler, especially kids that don’t listen and are disrespectful

My boyfriend ended up kicking his son out over his attitude and behavior the same things I complained about for over a year on top of my newborn baby but since my boyfriend was always at work and not around to see how his son acted then I just got told to pretty much suck it up.

We moved and got a slightly larger apartment and my boyfriend asked if his 11 year old daughter could live us. I told him I was hesitant because of how things went when his 13 year old son lived with us but since he actually was talking to me about this time she could live us but we have to set down rules and boundaries ect.

Well my hours at work have doubled, the girls attitude is about as bad as the boys, the EUROS are on very important to my boyfriend, my sons 2.5 and I’m just stressed out. I went from working 20 hours a week to 40

Still doing all the house work, and taking care of my son and still having to keep and eye on my step daughter. She’s 11 so not to much a handful but still it is added responsibility.

My boyfriend is usually helpful with the house work but some scheduling changes at his job have left them short handed so he’s currently working 1pm-midnight and then coming home and watching the EUROS and going to bed. That’s fine he works a lot so I can stay home with my kid, again scheduling changes are also why my work hours have doubled.

Well this weekend my sister took my son, I just dropped him off and I have brought it up to my boyfriend all week and he’s pretty much just brushed me off. But I asked if there was any way his daughter could go to her grandmas for the day, dinner, a few hours

I really haven’t had the house to myself in well over a year if not longer. Like idk no really plans would just be great to have a literal no responsibility day.

And I called him right now and told him I was on my way mad just asked if he had to talked to his mom, if his daughter was going ect. And he just flat out said no.

Idk I know I signed up for step kids, and I have tried to take care of them, I’m still young though and I can feel myself getting burnt out. I made arrangements for my son to see his aunt and got him out of the house for a couple days. I really don’t feel like asking for his daughter to go to her grandmas who lives down the street for a few hours is asking much. Is it?
