I don't have experience with stepfathers but I had a stepmother while growing up, and I remember she complained constantly about me to my dad. It was always piddly stuff, like I was messy, clumsy, etc. Basically, I was a kid being a kid.

I have another stepmother now as an adult and she complains a lot about my half brother. She says that he's impersonal, rude, and makes a big deal when he shows up a few minutes late for family dinners.

My mom is a lesbian and I overheard her wife (yet another stepmother) complain about me not helping them enough. She also makes a big deal about me showing up a few minutes late to family dinners. She's also frequently snarky and passive aggressive.

Sound familiar? I wonder why so many stepmothers are like that.

I grew up in the 90s and remember my parents taking me to the local dollar theater. I remember they played movies that had finished their run at the regular theater but hadn’t made it to rental yet. The dollar theater near me was old and kind of crummy, but it was just $1 so who cared? I don’t remember how much the drinks and popcorn were, but they must not have been outrageously priced since I always got popcorn when I went there. Anyway, are any of those still around? The last cheap theater I went to was around 2005 and the tickets were $4 for a matinee. That theater played new movies though.
