Ok-seriously...wth?? I read a post on here about that forum not long ago here-but didn't know which one they were talking of. I posed a question (as anonymous-which is supposedly a nono) and you should have SEEN the psycho bm's out of the woodwork, not answering legal questions either at all.

I've been a step mom for almost six years to two amazing boys. I respect them and love them and they spend 50% of their time with us. Times have been tough, as it was not easy at the beginning - I was an outsider and not at all wanted by mom. Mom left the relationship but didn't expect "him" to find someone new. I tolerated the abuse for many years. Years of telling the kids how horrible I and their dad was. How dad left the marriage - was not true. How dad is not important and how they should not be with us. I was called stupid and that I was not liked and the boys didn't belong here.

It seems like we just dropped sd8 off to bm. And now in a couple days she'll be back. And honestly I'm not looking forward to listening to her opininated self. Always throwing herself into anyone's conversation. And she always thinks she's right yur 8 not 88. When I say something to her like mind your buisness no one's talking to you. Hubby gets irratated,I'm like tell her to stop then. When he's not around watching she shows her true colors. I basicaly have to tell her if she can't listen to call bm to come get her.

"I know I'm being selfish when I let FSD3 stay up so late."

HALLELUJAH - I didn't have to be the one to say it. I didn't have to pick a fight or wait for another Attila the Hun event to point out to him that it's a BAD thing to let FSD3 stay up as late as she wants. I didn't even have to choose some other parenting flashpoint as a way to segue into the sleep issue. I am, in fact, dating a dad who knows exactly what parent fail does to a child.

My SS10 walks in the house covered in filth from head to toe. It's time to come in anyways so I simply tell him to do half his chore (picking up dog droppings), then shower and THEN do his dishes. There was no way his nasty hands were touching clean dishes, and I flat out told him that. Oh and when I say filthy I mean, just rolled in a pig sty filthy. 10 minutes go by as he does his first chore then suddenly I hear dishes being done....SAY WHAT!? I ran into the kitchen and sure enough there he is putting dishes away.

THe last entry I deleted, SD10 has sense of entitlement, and DH told her tonight that her attitude WILL change. I will not feel like a stranger in my own home, and will NOT be berrated by this child. DH is tired of her attitude and her actions, and is tired of it. I am sick of the mouth, the attitude and her whining. DH did not see me as "attacking" her. any ideas on how to stop the snarky attitude and back talking?

I Really Really need help with my MIL!!!! I need ALL of your thoughts and advise. DH and I are really lost as what to do. Please help!!!

Well my sd is 8 and has just made it hard for herself she believes the only one she has to listen to is bm. Well I told her that her choice and if she choses not to obey the rules here. She forfiet all privildges that belong to this house. That means computer,tv,movies etc.... my hubby will be lil upset oh well. I'm done. I've done for this kid ever since I met her. I will get my respect I never ask bm for anything. What ever she need I get. Hubby wasn't working when we first got together so the things I have including items in home I purchased. Even had my home before we got together.

I'm so tired and frustrated that bms responsibilities are now mine.to explain what type of person I'm dealing with--&- a small background. bm leaves her 5 Year old and baby with SO so she can party with her friends. SO was with his ex gf for 5 years. younger SS would call her mom. bm would stop in to be a parent
