Money changes everything....

I've read a lot about issues with money on the postings and it seems to be a common issue for everyone to some degree. In my situation we are expected to pay for any expenses that were not covered in the divorce decree. Small things, you know, things that aren't really important at all like...college, weddings and braces etc. (said with much sarcasm)

Let's talk about the bedroom

First of all I'm not interested in talking about the details of anyone's sex life. I would like to talk about how, in this very complicated life we all seem to be living, you work out time to be with your significant other for intimate time. (Not just bedroom gymnastics)

This is a challenge for myself. Finding time to just sit and enjoy one another's company has become an event which requires its own schedule in our home. For me this is a huge challenge as I do not have my own children and have never had to work around anyone else's schedule.

Why do we need to "vent"?

I am a stepmother of 5 children varying in age from 15 to 27. When I first came into their lives the youngest was 6 and the oldest was 19. During my tenure as a stepmom I have encountered all manner of situations. I have started visiting step parenting sites because I am in the process of writing a book for step mothers. I am curious about the focus of many of these forums. It seems that the focus is on "venting", relieving stress, dealing with out of control people, and various other issues that do not focus upon the person typing.
