I ask because this woman tried to friend me through facebook ( I rarely log on my FB acct) anyway, I had no idea who she was....I looked on her wall and then pics to see who she was....and who do I see in a pic with her ??? BM!! And pic was from last Friday at a bar with a mechanical bull!!! Lol
She looked like she gained 30 to 40 pounds since the end of summer....could she be pregnant??? Oh, I hope so ....maybe she will stop obsessing over us. She is 45
Ps it looked like she had a maternity dress on too in the pic
I've been packing stbxH's stuff all week and putting it in sd's room so when he comes by pick it up tomorrow morning it will all be ready to go.
:?
It is suggested or requested by the kids mom that I be present at an upcoming mediation session. Would you go?
I keep going back and forth. Part of me would love to be there and do whatever I can to support the kids and my husband, but the other part of me thinks she just wants me to be there to so she can deflect or have the attention off of her...
A few weeks ago, BM violated the parenting plan. AGAIN. This is nothing new and DH gets a police report each time. Also, BM ignored all attempts from the Mediator to attend mediation before court. Anyway, so after this, BM hasn't said anything to DH. She is acting like nothing has happened.
When I arrived home last night Sd was at practice so Dh and I had a few minutes alone. We talked about our day and I asked if he had talked to a counselor at the school or anyone regarding Sd. Of course he had not and didn't want to talk to me about it as I had expected. He also told me that Sd came to him and asked him NOT to take her to a counselor or psychiatrist. ???? Where did that come from? I said fine, do as you please.
I'm a huge fan of Dave Ramsey. I was reading through his list of recommended books recently and ordered one from Amazon.
It's called "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters"
I've only recently started reading it. I plan to pass it along to DH afterwards if I think it's worthwhile and I've already decided he'll be STRONGLY encouraged to read this one.
Wow I never imagined I could find a place where other SMs felt the same way I do and go through some of the same BS as I do. Awhile ago I felt like a complete bitch for wanting to disengage with my skids because of the lack of parenting on DH part, for feeling like I will never love adult skids the same as my own (how could I when they barely speak to me FFS), for feeling like an outsider when we all hang out together, I felt like it was something I was doing (wasn't trying hard enough,etc).
Hi there I've never posted anything before and this is my story thus far.
I married my DW 1 year ago and became stepfather to SS18. I'm 45 years old, no kids from my previous marriage. I suppose I was a little too optimistic about the whole "blended family" idea. I am madly in love with DW but I never really stopped to think how SS18 fit into the picture.
I can’t remember who said it, but someone on here stated that most posters on step talk are non custodial step moms. I actually thought that it was more custodial and 50/50 step moms.
.
Let’s take a poll for fun because I am curious.
Let’s all list what we are as a step parent…are you…
NCSP – Non Custodial Step parent
C – Custodial Step parent
50/50. Step parent
I’ll go first. I am …
C - Custodial
2 days ago I asked my ss13 if he wanted to go get new shoes. I do continue to try... As usual he said NO. This morning he walks up to DH and says "Dad will you take me to get shoes today" I wanted to punch him in his face. What a brat! I am done!!! NEVER AGAIN!
