IM NEW TO THIS SIGHT, HI EVERY ONE FIRST OF ALL I HAVE A 10 MONTH OLD BIOLOGICAL SON A 7 YEAR OLD STEP DAUGHTER AND A 14 YEAR OLD STEP SON. NOW THIS IS MY PROBLEM MY STEP DAUGHTER GETS ON MY NERVES. WHEN ITS ONLY ME AND HER SHE LISTENS TO ME BUT AS SOON AS MY HUSBAND COMES AROUND SHE STARTS BEING A BRAT. YESTERDAY ME AND MY STEP SON WAS AT HOME LISTENING TO SOME MUSIC WHILE I WAS COOKING. THE SEVEN YEAR OLD WAS OUT WITH HER FATHER UNPON RETURNING SHE TOLD HER FATHER SHE WANTED TO WATCH TV AND MY MUSIC WAS BOTHERING HER HE IN TURN TOLD ME TO TURN OFF MY MUSIC BECAUSE SHE WANT TO WATCH TV.
My spouse has a 3 1/2 year old niece that I dislike very much. It all started about 3 yrs ago my spouse lost his mom and his half sisters were NEVER in his life while he was taking care of his sick mother. Not once did they call to support him during this process. When she passed away, they saw where they could take advantage of his emotions by wanting him to see his nieces and nephews that he has never met and no one to take care of them. The aunt even had the audacity to fill his head as to what is going on with these children. He told her that he would take care of the toddler.
Yes HI! Very new to this here but this site has to be perfect for me. I am a step mother for three years now. I am very attached to my children. yes they are mine. We have custody of them and they visit there mother in the summer. Usually they come back skinny, and behaving horrible. We always get them back to being themselves good healthy kids. I hate their mother because she just doesnt really truly seem to care. She goes months without talking to them. She sends 5 dollars in a birthday card and so on. Its pathetic oh yeah did i mention she does not pay child support. YEah.
My DH's Ex (like many of yours) was the one who bailed on DH. (she thought the grass was greener with her partner at work). Yet I find it very odd that she is obsessed over DH doing every skid activity WITH her! DH and I (we have 50/50 placement) have petitioned the court for a set placement schedule to eliminate BM essentially telling DH when she was taking the kids each month. Our goal is to have this all set in an effort to decrease the frequency of contact with her. Previously DH and BM would every month have to "sit down" to debate that month's schedule. Enough of that!
I have a son who is 12 from my first marriage, and a daugther who is 1 from my current marriage. I have been with my husband since his son was 3, and now he is almost 8. He does not remember a time when his parents where together... but silly me made him a scrapbook, which has seemed to dredge up fabricated memories and fantasies of his life with "Mommy & Daddy". I get all this. I was a step-kid once. So... I'm struggling with the feelings I have for him. At first I tried really hard to just be his friend, we'd do crafts etc.
Let me explain the question.. as I am sure a majority of you remember this movie from the 90s...
About 5 yrs ago, I bought a house. I was not yet married to my dh, but we had been dating, and my 1 bedroom condo wasnt big enough for my dh and skids to visit... so I bought a fixer upper and sold my beloved condo... about a year later, bm bought a house....
About 1 yr ago, I bought a brand new car, as my beloved car of 9 yrs was just costing too much to continue to repair, I reluctantly got the new car... about 6 mths after that, bm bought a new car...
Prior to being a stepmom, my life was pretty uncomplicated. Having a career as a nurse and volunteering in local community groups, as well as gardening were my world. Although, at the time, I was unhappily married and decided to separate. During this time I decided to further my education and start college again. Going to college was liberating! I learned a lot about myself, and how to put my needs first for a change. I then made the separation complete and moved in with a girlfriend.
Not sure if any of you remember my post about a friend who's wife left him because of his "son"..and he called and told me that he realized that perhaps it IS his son and his xwife that ruins his relationships? Well that is actually my Xfiance. He was and has been my one and only TRUE love ever.
We broke up for many reasons...Jen..you remember me mentioning my X being a cop..yep, that's him..he is a Boston cop and a Sergeant in the army. We were together five years...well after we broke up..met a chic married her on the rebound and had another daughter.
So recently DH & I planned a trip to Vegas together for later this month. Because we're going to be gone for a week I insisted that we bring BS1 with us because I've never been away from him for more than a night & after a day or 2 I'd just miss him too much. Well, MIL caught wind that we were taking our son but leaving SK's with BM & she threw a fit. She's always on me for not taking a more active role & having SK's more. Whatever. We planned this trip as a way to relax & bringing SK's would not be relaxing at all.
