Mine truly encapsulates how I feel about being part of a stepfamily.

I chose mine because at times I've felt invisible. You know, I'm JUST the stepmom. In other words, nobody. The food appears on the table all by itself!

it was easy to remember haha plus, I have random thoughts and feelings about this whole step mom thing

Mine is an old nick name.

I used to work for a car dealership in my early twenties. I also used to repair ATM machines for an on call company during after bank hour times (holidays, nights weekends) So one night I got called out to some machine that I had never been to before. I was not familiar with the area at all as it was about an hour away.

So I get there and the machine was inside a Walmart. The Walmart was at the end of a big plaza with a grocery store and a bunch of other little stores. So when I pulled in and I went straight to the back of the parking lot so I could wiz through. Well, the lighting was bad back there and I wizzed through all right. I ran right over the top of one of those medians with the concrete curb, grass in the middle and then another concrete curb at probably about 30 miles an hour. Swear to God I never even saw it, I honestly had no idea what I had hit after I did it.

Since I had a low profile sports car, I ended up flattening all four of my tires, so had to leave the car there and have my DH (now Ex) come and pick me up. So that Monday morning, I had the dealership that I worked for go pick up my car with the rollback. When the rollback driver came back with it, he came in my office and was like "Jesus, what the hell happened to your car?" When I told him what happened he was said "Yee Haw, Daisy Duke!" I was forever known at that job as "Daisy" after that. lol

That was like 20 years ago though, so highly doubt anyone other than me would remember that, so that is why I thought it "safe" to use that name here.

My DH likes to call himself "Crazy Clyde" as his alter ego, and he started calling me "Clydella", and it just stuck. Plus I know it bugs SD, she told him I wish you would have given me that nickname.

cuz I try and the skids are trying my last nerve.

Bella donna means "beautiful woman" in Italian. The extra "l" was a typo!

This is gonna sound weird but "Draco" is actually short for another user handle I used on a forum board dedicated to vampires and Horror role-playing games.

ETA: My name is spoken in the language of Mordor, a language I will not utter here.

We are not blended, its like we are 3 families all living in commune in the same house.

1. DH and I - the married couple
2. DH and his kids
3. ME and my kids

3 families in 1

from one of my favorite movies. STEPBROTHERS...the part where they are interviewing the guys and Dale goes "hello, miss lady". a step brothers quote for a step-parent venting website! ...I wonder if anyone saw the movie and totally thought "omg thats me!" my husband and SS are like the Dale and Brennan. Gets frustrating sometimes.

Ive used the name Alice Pleasance since the beginning of the internet....it's no where near my real name.

BM/SD/MIL/etc are all at a loss because now I am the Queen Bee of DH's life & our home. BM thought she could still make decisions for our home, she found out quickly she can't. I am also queen of my own life, which I let BM know by refusing to communicate with her any longer.

BM especially thought she had the power. Now she realizes I am queen & she can bow down.

I probably should have chosen Cassandra rather than Shaman, but I'm the person everyone comes to for advice.

Unfortunately most people do not follow it and then come back and tell me they should have listened to me.

I like the movie Dirty Dancing. I don't know what I was thinking.

Hereiam, because, like it or not BM & SD, HERE I AM. And I am here to stay.

I chose Kes because she was one of my favourite characters from Star Trek - of which I am a big fan. I was amazed no-one had it already - I was lucky - I have since used it on several other forums.

Mine's pretty self explanatory! I was at that stage when I finally found ST... PLus, I always loved the show and am a short Italian with dark hair like the main character!

Avril Lavigne reference from "Girlfriend". "And Hell yeah, I'm the motherf*cking Princess."

I like the Kill Bill movies, and Uma Thurman gets shot in the Two Pines wedding chapel.

Well, I think mine is self explanatory. We are a his, mine, and ours family. Although I try desperately to forget about the his part.

wicked_by_proxy: The ability to do something wicked without actually physically doing it...my SS, for the last 3 years, says that I: ignore him, verbally attack him, don't respond to his (non-existent) texts, that I make him feel uncomfortable and cries to DH that I say hateful things.

He is 29.

I accomplished all this without doing one single thing to him....I had no idea I had all this fabulous power!!! Go Me!!!!!

Mine is one of my favorite Grateful Dead songs.

I saw them perform in Chicago in 95 the summer before Jerry died. Dang, I'm getting old!

I once said to Loca Grande, "I may not have been his first wife, but I will be his LAST WIFE."

She did not like that too much...

Other names I use-
Loghead- my DH is sometimes clueless, like wood for brains, and has a part time job constructing log cabins
Princess 21- my SD. I got started on steptalk about the time she was at the height of her high school drama.
PITA 19- My oldest SS is my Pain in the A$$. Opinion of him hasn't changed in all my time on Steptalk...
Lazy Boye 17- youngest SS used to think he was black, and was lazy, worthless bum. Age has done him well, but the name sticks
Gibby 12- our BS; named at the time for his similarities to Gibby, a character on a Nickelodeon show. he got tall and lost 15 pounds. No similarities now...
Loca Grande- BM is a big, fat crazy cow
Gullible- her husband of nearly 15 years must be gullible to believe all her lies. He also must be a saint for putting up with her...

"Eyes of a Stranger"-- my fav Queensryche song.. Just LOVE that band, and happened to be listening to the song when I made my account.
This is a great thread!!!! Some names I've really wondered about. Especially BunnyBread-- lol!
FormerAA, I didn't think you were a retired alcoholic- Ha. You had explained your name a long while ago and I always think to myself "hmmmm,,, I wonder how many newbies think she used to be an alchie?!"

Because at the time I found this site I had just banned my husbands daughter from my home and life. I felt emotionally beaten to a pulp at the time. Now I'd probably choose, beat the bastards at their own game

Mine is my two biological son's middle names and my college softball number.

Well - I am old.

Mine comes from my many years of step history. I married my first husband at 19. He was much older and had two sons (6 and 2) from two different mothers. I spent 13 years dealing with those BMs and many court battles. When we divorced, I met my current husband who had two daughters (14 and 2) from two different mothers. BM2 is the worst I've ever seen and she obviously thinks I'm an idiot. I signed up here to deal with her antics. And for those of you on your first round, yes I am obviously a masochist!!!!!

Mine is pretty much self explanatory. I always felt like people could make me out to be the patsy or the fall guy. Then I woke up and told everyone to Eff off LOL. I said "I'm not going to be your Patsy anymore!" in a heated argument with my husband about his parenting skills or the lack of skills at that time!
