I am a 29 year old step mom and bio mom. My SD's are 5 year old twin girls and my DD is 6 months old. I am also pregnant again all we are all hoping for a boy but will be just as happy with another little princess. It was a bit of a surprise but Hey, the more the merrier right? I have been married going on three years to my fabulous musician hubby.

Introducing me, Dudebug, The Weasel, and DH

I have been married to my DH for 1.5 years after dating for 2.5. My SS is now 8, so technically I have been a part of his life for half of his life. In the begining things with Dudebug were good and at times, great. He was always accepting and affectionate. I never overstepped my boundaries. We had lots of fun. I made some very positive changes at DH's bachelor pad. I instituted bedtime stories, made sure teeth were brushed daily and nightly, cooked good food and taught Dudebug table manners.

Co-sleeping

I know that this is going to probably be one of those sensitive topics for some people, I am just posting my personal beliefs and why (while keeping an open mind), so please do the same. I'm interested to hear other people's, especially SP's, veiws on co-sleeping. Before I go into my personal opinion, I did some research and even in "still intact families" there are a couple of risks with co-sleeping.

Can Step-parents attend a mediation in NC

FustratedStepmom's picture

The wicked bio mom of the west is wanting to make sure I, the stepmom does not attend the mediation upcoming. Does anyone have any advice on my rights as a stepmother and why I couldn't attend? Also, any advise on how we could get full custody? The order now states there is no primary parent are custody is shared 50/50. Thank you!

The "GAL" called to confirm the appt yesterday and asked DH if he had a good number for BM, She said she kept calling the number she was given for BM's [unbeknownst to us] FULL TIME JOB and said she was having a very hard time getting a hold of her. DH gave her 2 numbers BM gave us when we picked SS up after the court hearing- they were numbers of 2 of the guys BM frequents,-because of course she still has "no phone" the GAL seem disgusted- I can't wait for her to start investigating the situation and to find out what is really going on in SS's life- school records/medical etc-

Ready to lose it...

My last blog a few weeks ago was about BM interfering during our time with SD8. Well, it's gotten worse. SD8 has been with us for less than 3 weeks & BM has called almost 20 times. If we don't answer, she calls back repeatedly from different phone numbers. It's insane. And when she does talk to SD8, she brags about what they're going to be doing next month when SD8 is with her. On Monday, BM called & SD8 was all excited to tell her about our trip on Sunday to Six Flags. Well, BM would interrupt & SD8 would say, "Oh COOL!". How insecure can a person be?!

Sorry I haven't been around....but now I've done something very bad...

I have told FH that I cannot live with SD17 any longer after a blow up this morning between SD17 & BD10 over a packet of noodles! It was the straw that broke the camels back for me. SD17 came home from the holidays on 19/7 from her bf, announcing that she was engaged. FH was visibly hurt by this and very quiet for a few days but now has accepted it.

I feel guilty, but

Crizzle's picture

my skids very existence in my home annoys me daily. They have been living with us for a year and a half now and I become more and more annoyed with them every day. They aren't terrible kids, but they lie all the time and are very ungrateful. They moved in with us rather suddenly when their mother disobeyed social services. When they moved here, I spent money I couldn't afford to spend buying them beds, matching bed sets, clothes for school, and other items to make them feel at home. I did all this, not my husband.
