I recently had my 15 year old stepdaughter stay with us for 10 days. We tried to make sure she was comfortable in every way. However on her return home i have received negative feedback about my family from her. I have now resolved to ignore her.
I feel used and i dont think she realises that long term i am not going to be so accomodating to her as she will only badmouth us anyway.
I've gotten several emails from BM the last few days saying that she wants to do whatever it takes to put our past behind us and get along for the sake of SS. To put it bluntly, I don't believe her one bit. I think this is just her way of exercising control over us.
I don't get why my B/F ex-wife gets to be so mean ..
I every thing I can to play nice... But like today when she came to get the girls … I got them dressed did their hair because I new she had a lot to do and was in a big hurry and god for bid her children do not look perfect …. And when she came to get them as she left she peeled out all over my car and a 7X7 foot window in the front of my house … What in the hake makes her think she can do this kind of stuff…
Alright, let me give you a little background. DH has three kids w/ ex wife. 2 currently reside with us and the third SD2 resides with BM. During the course of SD2.5 life, BM has refused all visitation of SD2.5 to DH. Even going as far as telling DH that SD2.5 wasn't his daughter. They did a paternity test when SD2.5 was 18 months to prove who she belonged to. My DH. So since then we have not had visitation of her. We have been going through a court case to modify the orginal custody decree which SD2.5 was not a part of as she wasn't even concieved yet. (Another Story).
My mother inlaw seems to favor the step-kids. My husband and I have 2 kids and his 2 kids from the previous marriage. It seems that my mother inlaw makes it a point to always give the SK money every week and no consideration for mine. It drives me crazy when she tells the kids not to tell anyone that she gave them money. I know she always points out that they don't have there parents together so that is why she does it. I just want her to consider her other grandkids, my kids as well.
So lately Fiancee has to work late so I get the task of getting 8 year old ss to do his homework. It's like going to war, he fights me every step of the way and throws a tanturam. Last night got so bad that after we finally got through it (took 2 hours when it should have taken 40 minutes tops) he goes stomping to his room and throwing a fit. I just ignored him and he finally just fell asleep.
I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY STEP KIDS. I'VE BEED A STEPMOM FOR 9 YEARS AND IT SEEMS I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THEM. IT SEEMS ALL I DO IS GIVE, GIVE AND NOTHING IN RETURN. I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING TO COOK BREAKFAST, I DO LAUNDRY, I ALWAYS MAKE THEM BIRTHDAY PARTY'S, MAKE SURE CHRISTMAS AND OTHER HOLIDAYS ARE PERFECT. I'M SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT DIVORCE BUT I'M WORRIED ABOUT OR 2 CHILDREN(7&6). THIS IS REALLY PUTTING ALOT OF STRESS ON ME PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. IS THIS NORMAL? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
No,I don't mean literally!
OK - I have read a few posts mentioning that DH had various expectations when a new baby arrived in terms of its effect on and relationship with his children from a previous marriage.
I'd love to hear from others about their experiences - whether DH feels more guilty because he's not spending the same time, energy, money, giving the same experiences to his other child who lives with his ex. Does it cause tension? Does the DH resent your bio child from your previous marriage who lives with you because it's getting to see the new baby more?

Prayers for them and their familys.
May the love of God protect them all and us.
Ok, I just need to whine a little because I always get the shaft because of BM's decisions which affect MY family. My fiance and I are so sick of her not consulting him, making a decision and then sharing it with him at the last possible second, thus making us scramble to accomodate what she dictates.
