Has anyone been in this situation? My daughter looks forward to seeing her brother on the scheduled visitation days and gets really upset when plan is changed. She is 5 yrs old and knows the days he comes to visits us. Last week when that happened she said " I hate him, I don't want to play with him anymore!" Stepson's mother kept him on Wednesday because his cousins were in town for the week. My husband agreed to it. I ended up yelling at my husband and told him no more switching or if biomom decides to switch she needs to replace the day(s) we lost.

Since last month, I've been actively trying to develop a better relationship w/my stepson. I'm talking to him more and take him out w/me when I can. I never use to do that since my relationship w/his biomom. I now realize that stepson is an important part of my husband's life and I wanted to show my husband and stepson that I'm a good person after all and that I don't despise my stepson. I guess my frustration w/biomom rubbed off my stepson before and both my husband and stepson thought that I hated my stepson. It is not true of course.

Does anyone have any suggestion on games/activities for bridal shower? My sister's bridal shower is in 2 weeks and I have no idea as to what games/activities to have for her party. Would appreciate some help, thanks.

I knew from the start (she never met me yet) that she didn't like me because my husband (boyfriend at that time) asked me if I hit their son (who was 3 yrs old at that time)on the head? I told my husband "What? What are you saying? No I didn't hit him on the head. Where did you get that idea? He said that his ex-wife told him because son told her? I'm thinking why would a 3 yr old say such a thing, is ex-wife making this up? Give me your thoughts on this.
