Why is it that I am expected to do everything for SS & SD but when it comes to punishments for their behavior in my house I am railroaded and made t feel that I mean nothing and my feelings don't matter?! I am getting really tired of it. Something needs to change around here! I am tired of the disrespect and the constant hard feelings! If I am expected to do everything like their mother than I should be able to parent equally!
So glad the site is up and running again. I have missed everyone. Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was ok. SD managed to put herself in the spotlight like she always does when someone else is getting all the attention. I managed to have a pretty good day with my babies and my hubby despite SD's meltdown. The hubby and I think that SD is slipping back into a depressed/paranoid state. We are doing what we can, along with her doctors, to get it under control.
I am so glad that the site is up and running now! So mother's day.... Well it was lovely. SD12 woke me up at 7:30am because she was so excited to give me my presnts. She wrote me a poem and titled it "10 Things I love about you MOM." It made me cry. LOL. Then she gave me a card as well and a beautiful necklace. I even got a card from my dog lol. So any who, I had agreed to take SD clear across town to see her mother. then I picked her up later and went to my fams house. So when I pick SD up BM tells me "Happy moms day...I guess even though you dont have any babies of your own.
Hello, all! So a friend told me about this site and I decided to give it a whirl. I'm a mom of two biological girls (a tween from a previous marriage and a toddler from this one) and the stepparent to an adolescent boy.
I met my husband when my stepson was 1 1/2. He is currently 8.
First of all......I'm soooooo glad ST is back up and running. I've missed all of the supportive SM's on here and my cool new vent space. But anyways....UPDATE! I was a little down because mother's day came around and as most of you know, we SM's are the forgotten war heroes most of the time. Well I woke up Sunday morning and got the most beautiful Step-Mother's Day card...lol--complete with a scribbled picture of me and her name...sort of. It brought me to tears. I didn;t even know they made Step-parent cards. Anyways...just thought I'd share!
How many of you Stepmoms feel that being a SM makes you a mother?
I feel like for a while in the late winter/early spring things were getting so much better-- FH seemed to "get" that things in his life, his household, and even with his son can/should change a bit to accommodate me as his partner (shifting SS out of this role).
Okay so on top of SS5 losing his manners, I'm flat out tired of him telling me Mommy can do this or that. I watch SS5 one night a wk while SS8 and DH are at Boy Scouts. So SS5 starts asking me questions. He asked why I have a the type of dog I do (BM bought a dog after the boys went home and always talked about my dog). So not thinking anything of it, I said b/c he's the best kind of dog to have, he protects us, he's lovable, he listens, etc. So then he asks me why I drive the car I do (I drive a nice sports car, BM drives a clunker).
I keep seeing this acronym in reference to bio-parents who are denying access to kids, are aggressive, etc.
Thanks! And so happy to have StepTalk back!
SS5 use to be so polite, say thank you, welcome, ask nicely for things, sit properly. Now he annoys the hell out of me. He sits half off the chair and you have to tell him to sit right b/c all of his food ends up on the floor. He farts and burps at the table. Gets yelled at and 10 mins later does again. We recycle and have 2 big blue trashcans outside, he was drinking a rootbeer and threw into the can and missed and walked in the house and I said what do you think you are doing?! He said what? I told him he needed to go pick it up. All these small things that are now adding up.
