I was wondering what different kind of responses I would get to this question.
If I ask my dh anything about schedules with skids, ask nicely to talk to one of them about something etc. He freaks out like head turning around voice changing scary freak out.
He then leaves for a little while comes back and says something stupid like oh your nails look great?????
THis is his way of telling me we will not be discussing this again.

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am a sm to twins ss14 and sd14 and bm to bs10 and bs4.
Struggling with steplife at times as my ss14 has a drug/alchol habit and a habit of stealing as well.

My sd14 is no more of a problem than any 14yr old girl.
She is with us every weekend most of the time although ss is currently ban from the ole homestead as my bs4 found his "stash".
needless to say I was not to happy.

I need advice.

I need help! I going crazy, actually, I have been going crazy for almost two years now. I’m a single 29-year-old woman will little to no drama, UNTIL I started dating my boyfriend. He divorced his cheating and selfish Ex-wife 5 years ago. My boyfriend and his Ex left their 2-year-old son, now 6, with her mother. My boyfriend was waiting until he gets more stable to have his son come live with him but 3 years later his son is still with grandmother. Being that they both are not the best parents they take turns seeing their son on the weekends only.

I swear I'm psychic when it comes to my BM.........

Yesterday, before my SD8 and SD9 were going to be picked up by BM, we were going through their book bags and the girls had forms for Room Moms. They had both asked me to be a room mom at the beginning of school and I told them I would. I was Room Mom for my kids when they were in grade school, I was also PTA treasurer, and I volunteered at the school library. I enjoy that kind of thing. I also want to meet some of the other parents and I want to know their teacher and I want their teachers to know me.

Update...it's been a while since I've been on

Hello all, if you rememeber about a month or so ago BM was thinking about letting SD3 live with us Mon-Fri and she would see her on the weekends and I was worried about doing EVERYTHING for the kid while FH works. WELL...it happened. We have her, this is 3 weeks now and it is actually working out so far. He gets her ready in the morning and takes her to daycare and then I pick her up and he gets off early most days now so I am still able to get stuff done and have some "me" time. She goes to her BM on Friday night and comes back on Sunday night which also leaves the weekend.

DH left today for 6 weeks, Hope Floats (or sinks), and a Stepdaughter's guilt...Long sorry....

SD and I just dropped DH off at the airport for the next leg of his business trip. 6 weeks this time. Well, at least I didn't cry like the last time, or feel as lost and alone. I'm surprised that I am feeling this optimistic since we just had a horrible weekend due to BM bull...

SD has been told that she has to give counseling sessions with her mom some time because in the last visit counselor thought she saw SOMETHING in BM "click". Not sure.. but counselor saw a glimmer of understanding in BM. So SD goes to BM's and BM has a movie picked out for them to watch!!
