I want to call Bm.
I want to ask if we can get along.
I want to tell her my fears about SD and the baby me and her dad are expecting.
I want to talk to her about the things her daughter says about being a sibling and sharing her dad.
I want to know I have another team member and not someone against us.
I want to show her all the super cute pics I have of our daughter.
I want to laugh with her about the silly things sd does.
I want to forgive her for the dumb things in the past and help myself and her learn from them.
Okay so I've only posted one other time, so you guys don't know that I've been bitching to BF about SS9 sleeping IN THE SAME BED as us. This has been going on since he was 2 years old, when BF got custody rights for EOW. I do not feel comfortable sleeping in the same bed with SS b/c he's not my kid, and I don't even know why BM even allows this. I know for a a fact how much of a bitch I am, and I know I would not tolerate anyone sleeping my kid that's not his father or myself, if I had one.
I'm not not used to having kids around so when the skids are around I'm stressed to no end! They leave their crap out...they want sleep overs every night although they won't have sleep overs at their BM's house or sleep over at their friend's houses... I always feel like I have to look after not only the skids but their friends too. I'm already a baby-sitter for the skids...why do I have to be a friggin baby-sitter for their friends too???
I just want to say that I will never forgive my husband for allowing his mother to ruin my breastfeeding experience. Yes, this is related to steptalk.org because she also encourages my step kids to fight my bio kid. I am an avid breastfeeder, and around 3 months of age she gave my baby all sorts of food behind my back. Skids later rubbed it in my face. At 5 months, she chewed steak, then gave it to my son to eat. Did I mention that she doesnt have teeth. I addressed the issue with my hsband and he, in my opinion, did not aggressively persue the issue.
I am a 26 y/o Smom of 2 kids aged 9 and 15. I am a bio mom of 2 kids aged 6 years and 10 months(from this marraige. I am hoping that someone can convince me that there is another option to blended family madness than DIVORCE. My husband and I have been married for two years. Two weeks before we were married, BM dropped off kids and never came back. Til this day they are living with us. Both husband and I work full time.
So I'm sitting here reading Bonus Families, thinking about how awesome it would be if I could have a relationship with Bm like the girls from the site. I'm thinking about all the shitty things that have happened and all of the trouble that we have gone through. The site talks about how Bms usually have the same type of insecurities as the new girlfriend/wife. Then there is a knock on the door.
Dh looks at me...
"Were you expecting anyone"
Me...
"No..."
We are both completely confused. SO I get up to answer the door and Dh follows behind me.
Co-parenting... otherwise known as being BMs slave.
Several things have happened this week that I feel finally pushed me to the edge. SO and I were out with friends last night and unfortunately ended up at the same place as The Albatross and her BF. After 2 1/2 years, the events of this week were the straw that broke the camels back for me. I ended up asking her to go outside and I finally confronted her. It was the first time I've directly spoken to her about any of the feelings I have towards her. Although it wasn't nearly as nasty as it could have been, it certainly wasn't pretty.
MIL's husband died close to this time of year nearly 3 years ago. I was thinking of getting her a card and maybe some candy from DH and I and the kids for Valentine's. But I'm wondering will that make her miss her deceased husband more (probably), but should I do it anyway even though it more than likely somewhat renew the pain of her loss?
I get along very well with my MIL, btw. And I know that FIL used to always give her Valentine's gifts. She usually sets all the stuffed animals and cards from years gone by from him out for the holiday.
What do you think?
So I have a 15 year old step son. He blames most of his behavior problems on me. Says that because I have an occasional drink, that he doesn't want to interact with me.
Says he hates alcohol because he saw his Biological Donor drink 1 beer 1 time. Sorry, but I don't believe that for a second.
I mean this guy is a real piece of work. Doesn't pay support, never calls Devin, lives only a short distance away and never sees him. Yet, he can do no wrong. Very hard to swallow for me.
