frustrated again

So, in January I bought tickets to see a concert that DH wanted to see for May 1st. Today he tells me he has to look for a babysitter for that night since it's his weekend. I told him we didn't have to do that, I would get my mom to watch my DS and his parents would keep his DD. He says, well what about SSD. I use SSD since it's his step daughter from his first marriage that he continues to take out of obligation and "it's easier than arguing with BM" even though it's not his BD. His parents don't want to take her and she doesn't even know my mother.

Dream Come True...

"I've only dreamed about something like this before." My 'step-daughter" and I sat in the office of our home amongst piles of scrapbooking supplies including stickers, embellishments, constructions paper, ribbons galore, and several different scissor styles. She sat on the futon in complete awe while we sorted out all of the different scrapbooking supplies I have stored in perfectly suited treasure chest.

Question: When will you/did you let your kids/skids sit in the front seat?

I am asking this question because DH has let SD sit in the front seat with him. She is 6 years old and very small! I already told him that no child of mine is going to be sitting in the front seat till they are atleast 9 or 10 (thats how old I was when my mom let me and my brother start sitting in the front-even though it says on most car visors no child under 12 should sit in the front seat) Im scared for her safety if he were to ever get in an accident. My friend got into an accident and the air bag deployed. She had scratches on her arms and bruises. She still has the scars too.

Where Do We Go From Here....

So, I guess a little background is needed before I begin. My boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for almost 3 years now. He has a 2-year-old daughter whom I love very much. He did not cheat on me--I'll explain. About two months into our relationship, he found out that a girl he slept with before we got together was 7-8 wks pregnant. They were friends before but never dated, they had sex a couple of times and the second time, she conceived.

Advice for a childless woman considering becoming a step-mom??

sanity.is.key's picture

I see all kinds of advice for blending families - you have kids, he has kids, etc. Well, I have NO kids (by choice and design - not b/c I didn't want them, but b/c I have specific standards for what type of situation children should be brought into this world, and a stable marriage is #1 and my first -and only- marriage was not that. So I have waited. And waited.) But now I am in love with a man with a 10-year-old girl, and I see very little advice for a woman coming into a situation with no children of her own. Any input would be helpful!
