Stepmother or Father's Wife

littlelucy's picture

I don't want to be called stepmother. Afterall, I'm not anyone's mother. Why can't they just refer to me as their dad's wife?

And why does my DH keep referring to his children as "the children" as in, "we are going to have the children this weekend." Ummm, we aren't going to have "the" children, we are going to have "your" children.

Can you tell that I am oh so excited for this upcoming weekend! I managed to get completely out of attending sports!! Woo Hoo! Unfortunately, "his" children will be coming home with him afterward. Oh joy!

big freaking surprise! CPS did NOTHING

daycare lady called and reported monday, still today no word...so i suggest to dh to call cps to see if claim is made, they say NO.

dh is "bothered" when he calls me to say there is no report, (internet poker sounds in background)

i say, what are you going to do? response: ugh, i dont know?

UM wtf, how about going up to daycare picking up ss and asking daycare lady why the hell she never filed a report?! how about lifting a fuking finger to do something to try and get to the bottom of this! Instead of me doing every fuking thing!

no respect

My SS is drives me up the wall and today seems worse. I am a full-time college student, with a part time job and a DD2 who has Learning Delays, and then there's the SS7. He refuses to clean up after himself, ya know the little stuff like put your dirty pissed in underwear in the basket instead of next to the basket, wipe the toothpaste off the counter when your done brushing your teeth, wipe up the glass of water you just intentionally poured on my new hardwood floors.

Are the mothers actions okay?

My fiance and I have recently started having my step daughter sleep over one night every other weekend. It has been three weekends she has stayed over and each time the mother did not send much with my step daughter. She only sent a shirt with a skirt or sweat pants. No pjs were included, underwear, extra clothing or maybe a pair of sandles due to the hot weather. I understand my fiance and i are require to provide somethings, but i feel it is unfair that the mother is doing.

Dinner time is always the hardest part of my whole life. The real mom has raised them on McDonald's and mac & cheese. If we're not having that, then they're not eating. Dad works til 7 tonight, so I guess that they'll sit there with their food until he comes home and tells them that it's okay and they don't have to finish....just respect what I say. Don't make yell, don't make me threaten, don't make me be the evil stepmom that I'm trying not to be. I know you hear me, just LISTEN!

smnikki's picture

i wondering if any sm's here who recently got married have been getting pregnant? and about how many months did it take? I know its personal info, but im really struggling. DH and i have only been married two months but we tried, both months, (counted days and everything) and nothing. i was heart broken when i got my period on sunday, i feel like a failure, and its only two freaking months! dh does his best to comfort me and says that it takes time, and its hard to get pregnant, blah blah blah....

You knew what you were getting into

Squillion's recent post made me remember this from another board. This is fantastic. I think many of us could have authored this....

Did You Know?

Author Unknown

I phone my mother to fill her in on my married life and she says, "You knew what you were getting into". And I think, how can she know?

Okay everyone - this problem not as big as some others, but........BD is getting her kitten.

I had to leave work to go to a Dr. appt and I called FH on the way. Of course, he acts like there's nothing wrong. How do men do that? They say something to you KNOWING it has pissed you off and because I say I don't want to talk about this right now, they think it will magically go away - he'll get his way and ALL is right with the world. Well, I say to him - we need to talk about this cat thing. He says I just think it should be a "family" pet and belong to everybody. I said oh, like the dog is the "family" pet and belongs to everybody? This shuts him up.
