It all started a few weeks ago when BM came to our door to talk about benefits and stuff going on with SD. She mentioned some things and said that SD said that someone said that BM's and SM's usually don't get along. BM said that I was never DH's wife (DH was there too) so it's cool and that I shouldn't hesitate to call her for anything. This is a TOTAL 180 from everything she's ever said or done...her "I don't believe in stepfamilies...she'll always just be his wife, not your stepmom...and I don't want to deal with any third parties."
I have just decided that I needed to write this somewhere because every time I think about it I always laugh. Anyway, so sometime last year, I decided to accompany my FH on one of the pick ups, only because we had to be somewhere afterwards. When we got there, I sat in the car while he went up to the house to ring the door bell and then went inside. He was in there for like 10 mins already and I was getting irritated because she probably didn't even have the kids ready. My favorite song came on the radio, so I turned it up louder than usual.
Where do I begin… My husband and I have decided to have a baby. We have been trying for almost a year. He has a 12 year old daughter from a previous marriage. We told her over her last visit that we wanted a baby. SD12 said she'd be upset but it would be "kind of cool." Well we are now three months pregnant and very excited. SD12 doesn't live with us; she lives with her mom back in the United States (we are stationed in Europe). BM now has a boyfriend in a different state.
and it went well! He promised to work on his "guilty dad" crap..the only thing I disagreed on was becoming more involved as a mother figure with FSS...I'm sick of being blamed for his shortcomings by BM, and now it's so obvious by her last email she feels very threatened by me or it's just plain jealousy..."She is NOT taking my place in your life!
Recently I started a Step-mom blog and I am not sure of how this all works? Any advice?
I really want to reconnect with other women/men in similar situations through this site and through others you might have. Most of the sites on the Blogroll are out of service.Does anybody else have another Step-mom/dad blog? I would love to link to your site.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you much!

sorry I haven't been writing/reading for awhile.
BM didn't get her family study paper work - so everything is dropped for now. it still cost my husband about $1200 in attorney fees. it is back to 50/50 placement, but at least SD has been put in her place and her game playing did not work this time!
I am engaged to man who shares custody of SD7 50/50. BM is constantly negotiating her way out of taking SD7. However, my boyfriend doesn't enforce BM taking SD7. Then he complains about it, calls BM selfish and irresponsible. He says, BM needs to "step up". Then he says things like "I am the only source of love for SD7". He says that he will never say no at the opportunity to have SD7 at our house, so when BM "makes plans" during her time with SD7, boyfriend always agrees to take her extra days.
BM will only have had SD7 for 10 days out of 29 this month.
Bm said in her email that she is glad all this crap is over with...is far from over...the new agreement was only signed a month ago and she's already in contempt for not paying her half of the loan they share...so I'm forseeing another trip to the lawyer in fiancee's future...also about the child support she collected for almost a year while FSS was living with fiancee full time, fiancee is going to give her an option, she can either sign an agreement where she will pay him back or he'll take her to small claims court...she has always openly admitted to keeping the money and we have proof o
I haven't posted in a loooong time, but try to keep up with what's going on as often as I can. I know some of you guys are going to give me a reality check on my post and that's OK with me. This is my emotional self vs. my rational self at war here, so here goes...
I haven’t posted in quite awhile. Things have been going pretty decent at my house…so far. DH has been more involved in the parenting process of SD12. He isn’t showing the favoritism that he once did and he’s not parenting out of guilt anymore. So far so good….
Now for my issue.
