...See more Why is it so hard for me to snap out of my anger and irritability lately? I’m 8 months postpartum. I really didn’t think I’d feel like this. I’m in a 4 year relationship and before this it was just my daughter and I. Then I met my partner and his 4 kids. 3 being his adopted nieces and little sister… I thought I could handle a big family and knew it all. I was wrong. His two nieces are 13 and 12 and his sister is also 12… so I have 3 preteens, my 8 year old daughter , his 6 year old son, and our 8 month old son. The teens are so difficult and lazy and ungrateful and I’ve done everything I could to try and show them a great life. It’s gotten so bad I feel like it’s ruining me as a mother. I feel I’m not the same mother I was when I was single and it was just my daughter and I. I wanted to show them structure so I didn’t ask for much but clean up after yourselves and keep trash and food out of your rooms but that alone has become pointless. Apple cores under their pillow. Candy wrappers everywhere. The oldest one steals from her siblings and even tried breaking into my room when I put a lock. Ever since I got in this relationship I have to keep my decorations and collectibles in my room because I can’t trust anything out in the living room. It’s just a *** feeling that I can’t have my house the way I want it and my daughter and son see me in a *** mood all the time. I’m getting duller and duller by the day. I’m not who I use to be and this relationship has definitely taken its toll. I’ve done so much and just get a middle finger to the *** face. I’ve resorted back to old ways and am just fed up with myself in all honesty. I feel like exploding. Panic attacks are back. I’m just out of it
