Kind of feeling lost in my situation. I've been with the love of my life for the past three years. He has two kids from a previous marriage. Daughter 6 and boy 9. I love the hell out of them, but for the past year and a half it's continuously getting harder and harder. I've helped raise these kids since the girl was three and my bf even tells me that they are my kids too.
I saw this book on Dr. Phil and wondered if anyone had read it and if it had helped. The book's name is, "No one's the Bitch" It suppose to be a guide on how to have a relationship between Mom and Stepmom.
I am still having difficulties in making a decision when it comes to wether staying in my relationship or moving on. my bf of two years is amazing with me he recently suggested we move in together. there is only one problem, he has full custody of 2 girls, one is 4 and the other is 6. the 4 year old acts inappropriately constantly. i have two sons so i love and understand kids and have a lot of patience trust me but he spoils his 2 daughters all the time and does not have actions for their bad behavior.
My dh, son and I moved from MA to Louisianna for his job. I was very much looking forward to the move and the distance this would put between us and the drama. I was also looking forward to living like a real family, instead of this disjointed group that we seemed to be.
Last night DF, the skids, and I sat down to watch the movie "Up" (if you haven't seen it yet, you should!). In the beginning there is a part where the couple is preparing a nursery.
SD5 asks me, "SteppingUuuuup, when are YOU going to have a baby?" I told her we have to get married first. Then she says, "Well when are you gonna get married anyway? I've been waiting FOREVER!" and she rolls her eyes in a sassy way. Then SS2 pipes in with his copying echo, "Yeah! We wait fo' EVA!" and rolls his eyes too. We giggled at them and just said we all have to wait just a little longer.
This is going to be a looong entry about my confrontation with BM last night. She's been giving my boyfriend a hard time about coming to see our house etc. You can read my last blog entry if you need more specifics, but pretty much she's been asking since the first day we moved in there to come see the house and she doesn't even have a car so we always have to drop SS4 off, so she would be coming over just to see my house. My boyfriend was sick of being in the middle, as he should. Why she just can't take no, I don't know. So she wanted me to pick up SS4 so we could chat.
This is probably going to be long, because I have a tendency to babble.
Just to start, I don't (and won't) have kids of my own. I've never spent any time around small children, and to be honest, they make me uncomfortable. So my ideas may be totally crackpot ones - that's what I'm trusting ya'll to tell me. 
I feel down today for many reasons. One is knowing that we will have to take ss on his mom's weekend on 4th of July. I just cherish my weekends away from him. I feel like I can relax, spend more time with my husband, and just feel more comfortable in general. Last weekend we had to take him on fathers day which was again her weekend, this is our weekend with him and then next week is the 4th. :(. I watch the kids alone at night cuz my husband works so it's just hard being alone a lot. Also I'm hurting cuz it seems DH's mom seems to favor ss more than my dd who is her grandaughter.
Do all 16 year old boys act like this> I can not believe that ss16 sat here tonight telling us that he did not want to say anything to his BM or brother 13 who is being withheld from visitation again. She is so far in contempt it is just stupid. He does not want to make her MAD and he does not want to hurt her feelings.
