I am ready

youngstepmomma's picture

So I think after months and months of mind searching I have come to the conclusion that I am ready for a baby, but I am unsure of how to bring this up to FH. I also am not sure how SD3 will take it. Since she is 3 it is hard for her to understand how life changing this would be for her. She is an only child now and I don't want her growing up resenting me or a sister/brother. I also know that FH has reservations about it, which makes sense, but I don't know how to not get mad about his less than exstatic attitude.

Charging room n board or not..

I was raised that after 18 you pay room and board... FH and I don't agree on that rule... Apperantly fh and I have different views on the subject because I feel if a child moves out at an adult age then they should provide for themself. If anyone let's their child in the home without any responsibilty the only thing they're going to do is to take advantage of the freedom.

Do u n ur significant other see opposing sides?

FH and I had a HUGE argument on Saturday night. He screamed at me like never before. We haven't talked about it until tonight and I'm really thinking that it didn't do much good...I just feel worse about myself and really second guessing myself... I really don't know where we stand right now... I tried to get some liquid courage truth out of him to tonight but got mostly crap about politics...(we don't have the same views)... I didn't argue with him because he was drunk but it bothers me that he can only see one side and not take in my side with an open view...

The things "my wifes" EX does when I am not around...

So the EX drops off his BS8 to my wife tonight. I am out with my bio son at practice.
And he gets ticked off at my wife tonight because last night, when he dropped off son, I answered the door and greeted him and his son (My now ss)and said, "Hey how's it going." to the EX, he just grunts and kisses his son goodbye. I say, See you later... And he mumbles something as he walks away.

I know what I must do - but I need to hear others say it...

So my boyfriend of 1 year is a SD - children ages 11 (boy) and 13 (girl). He and I have a lot in common - he's a good guy but here goes the drama...he's been divorced for almost 7 years, it was a bitter divorce so he and his ex do not speak. He has 50% custody and his schedule with the kids is EVERY OTHER DAY. His only free night is Friday and Sunday afternoons - any time between 3 and 5. He created the schedule so he can see his kids everyday. He is a great devoted father - but I don't feel there has been much time for me and to nurture our relationship.

KeepTrying's picture

1. When my step father is on his death bed, i'm going to go stand at his bedside and pray outloud that he goes to hell, God gave me my sense of humor...I think he'll forgive me. - (SF was physically abusive)

2. I love all dogs...I wish everyone else could accept my jumping, yapping, fuzzy kids - I never mind if your dog slobbers on or scratches me.

3. I love wine too much. Haven't had any in 2 months because i'm on a diet.

3. I refuse to wear yellow gold jewelry, never have liked it, I only wear white gold or silver

Sole custody by BM + passive DD = disapointed and frustrated SM to be

Arg!
So DD and I are planning to get married out of the country this April and have been planning to take SD 15 and SD10. Tickets have been bought, rooms reserved only one problem. BM has sole custody and needs to give us written permission which we have been asking her to do for about 3 months.
BM and kids do not know about our wedding plans; this has been billed as a family vacation. In fact I have not been properly proposed to because of her non-reply. We feel once she finds out relations will get worse (if that is possible).
