I've been a stepmom for four years. I just became a bio mom 9 months ago. Since then I have lost almost any affection I had for my SS who is 9 and a really good, sweet kid. We have him 50% of the time and while I've always preferred the days when it was just my husband and me, now I actively dread the days we have him at our house. And when he's there, I white-knuckle my way through the time and feel so relieved when he's back with his mom. He was an only child/grandchild for a long time so acted out a bit when his sister was born which added a lot of stress to those early days.

BM didn't come for the Easter weekend. The kids wanted to know why I didn't let them see her. I want to respond with so many things but i won't because I it is about the children. 

She is busy flying all over the fricken country.... Minneapolis to Denver to Seattle to Vegas to Denver to Washington DC back to Denver and back to Seattle..... yet she is over $30,000 behind in child support. She doesn't have a job (that she gets paid the correct way - under the table or in cash maybe?) She doesn't have a home or an address. 

Someone commented to me recently about being a real parent.........

So what makes a real parent? Leave comments below.

So as you know SD6 has been a little terror lately. Throwing fits, bullying, brash disobedience, stealing, etc.... I mentioned it to my dad, who mentioned it to my mom (no biggie, married couples talk. obviously not a shock. LMAO). What did she do? Talked to a friend. Who then proceeded to inform her (she was a COD) that all SD6 needs is love!
