Just wanted to share this with you all, it just reminded me of how much I love my 5 year old daughter. For mother's day she gave me a laminated poster of a poem and her handprints all over it and even drew herself on the poster. She also made this little collage for me and she wrote: My Mom is happy, she likes to play, she always gives me a bath, sometimes she watches TV. But the best thing about my Mom is "She likes me." When I read that I was so happy and proud of her. I just love her more than anything...
My husband got another call from my stepsons GF's father. You know the 14 year old girlfriend. These people aren't stupid either, they don't ask me they ask my husband. I told them my feelings on it, and they ask again. This is like when kids play the parents.
Hi All,
Well, you can probably tell by the title, I am day late, and dollar short. I seem to be fighting furiously with this stinking dermatitis. It either itches very badly or it's blistering and burning. I don't know what's worse. But I have a doctor's appointment first thing in the morning, thankfully. I am trying to hard to control myself and not scratch, like mind over matter. And it's damned difficult.
Just thought I get your opinion on this. Father's day is coming up next month, it looks like stepson will be w/biomom that weekend. I wanted to take my husband w/kids to dinner for Father's day. I also wanted to include stepson to dinner, would you invite biomom to dinner too since stepson is going to be her that weekend? What would you do? I don't have a close relationship w/biomom, I just feel like if I invite her she might end up getting jealous and see that our life is good and what would the conversation be like? I don't know what to talk about with her? Need your input.
Well, I don't look or feel like much these days but I am trying to just keep boosting myself up despite what is thrown at me. I made another appointment with my primary doctor's office so that I could get additional care and they would send me to a dermatologist and also call a different rheumatologist because I can't get anywhere. GA is different because your doctor's office has to call for a specialist appointment and I am not used to that. It's very confusing and frustrating when you are dependent on someone else.
The most horrible thing has happened and I dont know if i will be able to deal with it. My stepson has accused my son of some bad things (sexual) granted it was supposed to happen almost 4 years ago. I feel like my world has come crashing down- this happened about 6 months ago but it is destroying everyone i have only been married for almost 4 years. Now everything is falling apart-seen my step children in the store the turn and almost run from me- we have my son in counseling and was told probably a experient thing.
I have a question, because I don't want to overstep any boundaries with my boyfriend here. We've been together now for five months, and he shares custody of his almost 3 year old son, so we have him a lot. The thing is, my BF doesn't really dress his son very cute. And when we go out together people assume that I am his mother, and I feel self-conscious about this because I spend a lot of money on my clothes, shoes, bags, etc. because I can because I'm a single gal with nothing else to spend my money on. And then there's this little boy who kinda looks like a rag-a-muffin.
I don't know how clearly I can see these days, or if I even see the forest through the trees. I seem to be in a rough patch. I wrote a blog and then the electric went out and it didn't get posted so all my thoughts were for naught (2 days ago). And I am still having major problems with the unexplainable atopical dermatitis on my hands which is itchy and painful. I am so self-conscious and don' want to be seen with it. My husband hurt himself over the weekend and his lower back is messed up. So, I had that to contend with over the weekend plus the 3 dogs by myself.
Hey ladies -
I needed to chat with somebody and thought you'd be a good place to start. It's not really step parenting related. It's just life related.
I think I have a spending problem. I know I did in the past. But, I thought I had gotten it under control. Seems that new relationship with hubby and step daughter filled the gap for a long time. But now, hubby is really busy with building our house. I mean REALLY busy and I seem to be filling that down time with shopping.
Both of my stepsons, 19 & 16, made such an effort for me. One picked up some of my favorite food before he headed into work, and the other came home after work with roses for me.
My husband has had full custody of the boys for 14 years and I've been around for 13 of those years, married for 10. They call me Mom and I do love them so much. It did my heart good.
