Tales of the In-laws
For anyone who has seen me post from the start of my step adventure to adopting to now having a bio you all know I have always had an issue with my in-laws. I do not have BM in my life but I do have them. This is not an angry post or anything like that really who knows.

I need a pick my up.
This is so not step related. But I need feedback on a topic.
Today at lunch I was heating up a slice of plain pizza for lunch and a woman I work with commented on how I was eating again today. I heated up an egg white, turkey sausage, and whole-grain muffin breakfast sandwich around 10. She proceeded to ask how much my doctor said was ok to gain and I told her they told me 25 to 35 lbs. She said that was a lot.

I need to know if I am reading too much in to it.
Hello All,
It has been a while for me here. If you have seen my posts you know I am expecting a new addition to our family and my son 11 (I adopted my SS) is more on board with it and dealing. We went to family counseling and have been working on things. I also told him to suck it up and deal because this happening if you like it or not. Anyway that is not what this is about.

New Baby and reaction is really bad!
Hello All,
It has been a while since I have been on here or blogged anything. I am not a step-parent anymore as I adopted my son last year. I am here to vent mostly and just get somethings off my chest hoping to find people maybe that can relate. So my husband and I are expecting I am almost 11 weeks. We have told our son 11 and he was the first to know. We have told family and some friends as well.

Some Positivity
Hello All,
It has been about a month since I posted but things are super great. I was reading some stuff on here and not a lot of positive things going on lately. Well I know I built up to but the Judge did grant the adoption of my SS. I am no longer a Stepmom but an adoptive mom.
It is funny I did not think it would change things much but I feel even more bonded with my kiddo. Honestly I think it made our whole family dynamic just feel more secure.

Big Day Tomorrow
Hello All,
I have not posted in a while. Tomorrow is the big day I am so excited and nervous at the same time. Everything should go smoothly and I will officially be a mom to my SS10. I never thought in a million years I would want to be a mom and I never really wanted kids even before I met my SS and DH, I had no desire to have children in my life. All that changed when I met my DH and SS and now I can not imagine my life with out them. I am so happy that SS accepted me as his mom and showed me how much joy there can be in being a parent.

Got the court date!
Well we got he court date to go in front of the judge and have the adoption of SS all official. I am excited we have shared the news with our family but only after she signed the papers. Everyone is really excited for us and super happy for SS.
DH and I are not sharing the court date hearing with anyone. Mainly because we do not want anyone there but the three of us. DH's parents will be in town during it but we have opted not to mention the date to them. I really do not want MIL there and if she is there I an see SIL wanting to be there too.

Just needed to write it down!
I am going ot start this by saying i know I vent a lot on here about my in-laws. Basically if you put in BM for the word in-laws in my situation, I feel maybe people could understand a little more.
SS is in counseling and we are working through some stuff with him specific. He excessive need for attention all the time good or bad attention just attention. I love him do not get me wrong I really do but I am wearing down some days. He is not as bad with his dad with this behavior it is more with me. It becomes so much worse with his aunt or when others are around.

Well it sucks when you know you are getting super judged by people!
This weekend was good. SS10 got all his stuff back he was happy but we set up a new system where he now earns videogame time for things he does around the house and get time taken away for lying, poor attitude and so on. Week one went well he was motivated to get his stuff done and really started watching what he was saying.
