What Brought You Here, And what have you gained?

What brought you to this forum? Some of you are long time members, and others like myself have recently joined. I've seen over the past few days a lot of misunderstanding between step parents...it happens. Every parent and step parent has a different idea of how to raise (or not raise) children, and it's subject to each individual situation and finding what works best for you. I think we can all agree that it isn't easy sometimes, and I've seen a few comments lately stating that steptalk never used to be this bad for bickering.

Ohhhh BM...my constant headache

So here's my rant of the day. At the beginning of the summer, DH gave BM his work schedule up until December along with a list of days we can take SD. Fine. She said that makes things a lot easier for her. Ever since then, she has asked EVERY WEEK what days he has off, and keeps trying to pawn her child on us on days when DH works. DH has since then sent her two more copies of his schedule. She continues to ask, and bitch that he can't take her.

Am I Right or Wrong??

So BM told us a couple of months ago that her mom (SD's grandma) has 4 months left to live. Then she tells us this weekend that SD's stepfather is going to tell her her grandma is dying. I may be way off here, but why the heck would you tell a 6 year old something like that?? It's her prerogative of course, and there's nothing we can do about it...but we are so stunned and feel it is totally unnecessary to put that on a young child. Just let her enjoy the remainder of her time, because now all her last memories will be sad ones.
