I absolutely cannot stand my stepchild.  I know it sounds evil but that is the most spoiled, selfish brat I have ever come across.  I did not know that marrying someone with a kid would be so difficult.  I married my husband after having known him for only 2 months so we moved fast, but his little boy seemed to be sweet in the beginning.  After we got married, things changed.  My husband makes me sick over him.  He lets him do as he pleases.  He is almost 6 years old and I hate to see how hateful and defiant he is going to be when he gets older.  My husband never disciplines him.  His son is disrespectful, backtalks, does not listen and my husband does not seem to care.  I have come to the point now where I cannot and do not say anything about the child because if I do my husband jumps down my throat.  It's like the only thing he cares about is that child.  I will never be as important to him.  I'm not asking to be number 1 because I know he loves his son, but I would like to be as important to him as his son because I am his wife.  There are so many times that his son has done something that does not make any sense and the most recent was yesterday. 

My husband was in the bedroom napping and his son was sitting on the couch playing video games.  A few weeks ago I got a puppy.  Now his son is here Thursday evening through Monday morning and anytime he wants to play with the dog or take her outside I let him.  All he has to do is ask.  Well she went to the door and wanted to go out.  So I put her on her leash and we went outside.  I tie her up outside so she can run and play around without me having to hold her leash.  I come back inside and see hubby's son lying on couch with his head in pilows.  I did not really pay that much attention to it because I thought he was playing or something.  I grab the phone b/c I am gonna call my mom.  My hubby gets up and goes in there and his son is crying for some reason.  I could not hear everything b/c I was on the phone.  I hear him asking why he is crying and he won't give a reason.  Next thing I know, my hubby gets mad (he has a terrible temper, when he does get mad he feels the urge to hit something which really scares me), kicks something and goes outside.  I tell my mom I need to go.  I'm going to try to find out what is going on and calm my hubby down.  He comes back inside and I ask him what is wrong and he says nothing.  And I tell him he is scaring me b/c he is hitting and kicking stuff and he just says he is sorry and won't tell me what's going on.  I go outside b/c I want to get away from both of them.  When I come back inside, hubby and stepson on couch cuddling (i think it's weird for father and son to be so affectionate, I mean my dad and bro have never been that way...they like to act tough.)  I walk by hubby and he tells me to come to him.  He apologizes for losing his temper.  I told him he scared me acting that way and he said that he does not like being told that someone does not want to be here.  So I guess stepson implied he did not want to be here.  He prolly just said he wanted to go to his grandma's.  See my husband is so weirdly jealous over him.  He does not want his son to say he cares about his real mom, or say he wants to stay at his grandma's....it's weird i think.  I ask my hubby why stepson was crying in the first place and he says well the dog scratched him.  Wait a min. how could the dog scratch him when she is outside???  And secondly, there were no scratch marks on his son.  So i tell my hubby that when I took the dog outside his son was playing video games and everything was fine, so the dog couldn't have scratched him.  But he does not say anything.  Doesn't he realize his son is lying?  I don't know but I went into the kitchen just to get away from them and I heard my hubby bribing his son with getting a toy and all kinds of stuff.  He does it every time.  I think that his son has him trained.  He knows that if he does the crying crap, my hubby gets mad, loses his temper b/c his son is crying for no apparent reason, and then he will feel bad and get his son a toy or something.  Early yesterday his son was asking for a toy and my hubby told him that after he goes to grandma's today and she gives him some money for one they will go get one.  But his son wanted one yesterday and I think that is why he did that crying stuff.  I swear one time before when he did the crying stuff (he will do it for no apparent reason and I think he does it just to make my hubby feel bad) afterwards he had this look of satisfaction on his face.  I don't know but I just think that my hubby and his son both need therapy and both need to be on medication.  I think they are both bipolar.  I can't suggest anything to my hubby though especially that his son needs help b/c he will get mad at me.  I am always the heel around here anyways when his son is here.  I would like your thoughts on this though.  I feel like I am going to go crazy.  When it is the days that his son is not here, things are great and fine.

Is there a problem with the Yahoo mail system anyone knows about.  The Yahoo web site pulls up fine, it is just the mail.

i cannot figure out  how in the world to get back the alert in yahoo toolbar that lets me know when i have new mail???!!!  would you please help me?  many thanks.

it was working fine earlier today.  I just tried to get in it this evening and I was able to check my mail but it was in a funky format.  I'm guessing it's on their end. 

Do you see the Yahoo toolbar?
