Dude... I see all the stepmom material! Where's the books for BD?!

Submitted by MrsFitMama on Thu, 04/14/2011 - 11:55pm

I already know that I need help and can get in over my head being a new stepmom and having to accept that the daughters are something my DH did with someone else... but for gats sake!!! Where are the parenting books for him on how to co-parent with a step-mom??? The boundaries aren't just for him and what he feels comfortable with...
I have my limits too and rules that I would like followed. And yet all I see are books that are "how to cope being a stepmom..."
WTH???
ANyone???

My DH asked the same thing.

My DH asked the same thing. He saw I was reading "Stepmonster" and later on (like weeks later) in a heated argument he blurted out "you get to read all the bitching books on being a stepmom, but know what? where are the books for me?"

Not sure if he was serious, or if he was just being an ass.

set him up a steptalk account

set him up a steptalk account so he can see how youe AND other step moms feel so that he does not think that u are being this way or that way. he can see that many many women have a hard time dealing so that he may be more sympathetic to your feelings. it was something that someone else said that she would do on here:)

I would like to do that

I would like to do that except that he will probably get offended. But maybe I will and just filter myself on here? I have a stepchicks acct too that I can vent on but Most likely, his excuse will be, ok that behavior is fine for those women but not for MY wife. I expect better...
