Dont mess with my children……

Ok, so now I am more livid about the boyfriends daughter situation…  In a recent blog, I had stated that for some odd reason I just could not bond with this child who is 12 by the way.  But after today, I seem to understand alittle better why that I cannot.  My 14 year old son was at the house today, and he and my step daughter were goofing off downstairs with each other and he pushed her onto the bed.  Well she bumped her tailbone on something and from that point it was war with her.  It was an accident and he tried to apologize but she wasnt having any of it.  He came upstairs and he only had a tank top on and it looked like he had been mauled all over his chest and upper body where she had hit, scratched and beat the living day lights out of him.  I was beyond my point of loosing control with this child.  I had worked all night and was trying to sleep some before I had to come in tonight and she would not be quite.  I literally have had no sleep because of her in the last 2 nights.  By no means are my children perfect nor do they act it, but they do have manners and Zac knows not to hit a girl.  He is 14 and she is only 12 but she is way bigger than he is.  And this isnt the first time that she has laid her hands on my children and I finally told Zac to knock her lights out if she does it again and her daddy will just have to go through me when he gets mad about it.  But I am no longer going to let this child bully or hit my children.  I am done with it, I have ask him and ask him to talk to her, if he cant, then I will and she will not like what I have to say.  I honestly dont think that there is any hope for our relationship as step mother/step daughter…

Why cant I just love her?…

Ok, call me a monster or unmotherly but I dont know what to do…  My boyfriend of two years has a 12 year old daughter by his first wife and I cant seem to bond with her.  I have three children of my own, so its not that I dont love children or understand them, its just that I cant bring myself to love her like my own.  Is that really bad of me?  And what does that say about the relationship between her father and I?..  She has been an only child for 11 years and now her father has come to live with me and my children and I really think that she is absolutly trying her hardest to drive a wedge between all of us.  She constantly is picking on my two younger girls, hitting them, or pinching them, or going into my sons room and will not get out when he ask her to because she says she doesnt have too.  God forbid that she even remotely has to pick up after herself or turn a tv off, because I think that both her hands are broken.  I dont know what to do anymore.  Its not just me, my children do not seem to like her.   I had been planning on taking two weeks off after Christmas so that I could relax and get my house clean and hang out with some of my friends.  I had made prior arrangements for all of my children to go to their dads after Christmas so I could have some me time.  His daughter came for Christmas also but instead of taking her home after a week, he wants her to stay and have me babysit while he works all day, so its not like he is going to get to spend any quality time with her.   WTF….  What about my time, what about the things I had planned.  I sent my children to their dads, why would I want to babysit his?..  I dont know!  I am at a lose as what to do or where to go from here anymore.
