Still Sick & Tired

OK I have a question and I need honest solid advice. I'm really thinking about starting a social club in my city for stepmoms. My city is huge very diverse with lots to do . I've been here for four years. I don't have any solid friendships partly due to my comfort level. Ppl act really strange when they find out your a step mom like aww were sorry for you lol. I'm just looking to connect and bond with like minds. There's so much to do in the Windy City. !!! I want to do things like Sip and paint, dinner once a month eventually maybe evolved into a charity or raise awareness of a greater cause. But my main goal is to bond with other stepmoms while having fun. What do you think

Yes its a very secluded world I feel like an outcast around family and so called friends no one in my family on either side has step kids. I did a double doozey I married someone who is not American and became a step mom.. Now I live in city with no family a very little support so I'm creating my own happiness because it dam sure won't come on its own

My mum is my number one fan but lately i think she's been avoiding me because of my complaints about the skids.

I once told her how I refused to clean their room because their dad is just as messy as them and doesn't help the kids to at least try - don't need them to be Martha Stewart - just to try.

My mum got very upset with me that I could leave the skids room untidy. I don't even do coffee groups after giving birth because I secretly envy first time mums who don't have skids and their biggest worry is that hubby doesn't wake up for feeds.

A weekly vent session with similar people wouldn't hurt so go for it.

Your right it's very lonely. I can't take it anymore. Skids use you for there own benefit at least mine do they could careless about me and it obvious. So Second City StepMom Social Club will be a reality. Wish me luck

I think its a great idea! You are really on to something here. If I lived near you I would probably find them time to meet up with other smoms.

Thank you I had a few doubts if anyone would actually be interested but it looks like it could work. This is such a great support system

Have you tried MeetUp.com? Great site for finding groups and creating them as well.
I think your idea is great, if there had been such a group a few years ago, I would
have joined. Smile
