Easter pics? Yes or no?
During Easter on Sunday, do any of y’all dress up at church and take pictures with your step kids as a family? Or is that too cliche?

Breaking my OCD habit...
So this is tied in with my OCD and I want to break this habit. My stepdaughter (9) does beauty pageants and has been for a few years now. She got a new dress at almost every pageant and I have felt the need to take a picture with her. She has a pageant this weekend, but is wearing the same dress she wore a couple of months ago. I feel like every time she has a pageant, that I have to take a picture with her. We all go to her pageant (her mom, step dad, my husband (her dad) and me). Her mom takes pictures of her as well, but not with her and only posts pictures of her.

Should I let this bother me?
So my husband and I coparent and get along with BM and her husband. We have each other on our social media for tagging each other in posts of the kids. There have been times where BM will post and tag us in pics of the kids and my husband will “love” it. I get it, that’s his kids and that’s their mother. Sometimes when I post of us and the kids and tag him, he doesn’t “love” react to it or says he saw it, but didn’t hit the “love” button. I mean should I let this bother me? Sometimes I feel like he needs or has to “love” it because it’s his kids and that’s their mother.
What should I do?
So here recently my step kids have not said "love you" when I say it to them. They have been before, but here recently they haven't. We all get along great with their mom and her husband so I'm not sure if it's because of a loyalty thing or if they are getting older. SD is 9 and my SS is 6. Maybe they don't feel obligated to say it back? Should I back off from saying or keep saying it. Or just say "love y'all" to both instead of one at a time. They don't say it to their step dad a lot either.
Anyone feel this way? It’s sorta crazy.
Okay so this is gonna sound so crazy of me and I think it has to do with me having a social media problem in itself, but every time I buy a new shirt or one of my step kids has a new shirt or in this case (my SS got a new set of ties), I feel like we have to get a picture of everyone in their new outfits, including me. My step kids mother posts pics of the kids by themselves a lot, but I feel like I have to do that too if they have new attire. I mean, do y'all feel that way? Do y'all feel like y'all have to get a picture if you all have new clothes or if the kids do? Any advice?
Was this rude of me?
Yesterday we were all (me, my husband, BM, her husband, SS, SD9, and their baby sister from BM and her husband) eating after SS6's basketball practice. SD was playing the "raise your hand if" game. She said "raise your hand if you love (my nickname)". She raised her hand, SS and their baby sister did, along with my husband. I said "Aww y'all are so sweet." but didn't even think about saying "I love y'all too", because I do. I have told them I love them also before, but at that moment I didn't even think about it. Was this rude of me?
Would you get a tattoo of something your step kids wrote for you?
My step daughter wrote me a note that said "Dear "my nickname" I love you". She written it like 5 years ago and I thought about getting it tattooed on me sometime. My husband and I get along great with his ex wife and her husband. We coparent great and go to the kids events together. Even if me and BM get along, would this be overstepping boundaries for me if I got the note tattooed? Should I be respectful and not do it? What are your thoughts?
