Awkward Moment

New Stepmom's picture

I don't know about you guys, but I never just "bump into" the ex wife. I see her at planned events - soccer, dance, school functions - so I have a minute to prepare, you know? But I hardly ever just see her out in public. Well, DH had the girls last night and one of them had dance practice. He asked me to meet him and the other SD for dinner. So we met in the parking lot and as we walked in, guess who was sitting right there?? Yep, BM and her husband. Arghh!!!

Should I be flattered or demand counceling

My husband and I have now been married for almost two years. We are expecting our first child this August. He has a 6 year old son form previous marriage. First marriage ended after he caught wife having an affair with her boss of three years. He built a brand new huge ranch house and him and ex moved in Dec and he filed for divorce in March after catching her with boss. He met me two month later in May and we have been together since. His dovorce was rather drawn out since all she wanted was money and equity from the new house.

Is it wrong?

About once a year we get a family picture with my husband, ss, bio son and me. I scheduled that picture appointment for next week. And then I decided to make another appointment for the next weekend to take pictures with just my hubby and son. I don't want my ss to feel left out but I would also like some pictures with our son alone..... I'm not sure what to do. Now that I am 6 months pregnant I had alway invisioned having my son hugging my bare pregnant belly and my husband with his arms around me. It just feels like a really intimate photo I want with our son. Need some advice.

Freaking out

Exhausted SM's picture

I recently put my 3 stepchildren on my insurance because it was much cheaper and better insurance than my husband's job offers. SS went to ER over the weekend and ER needed all my info (including my Social Security Number):-O :shocked. I had to give it so they could take care of SS. Well, now BM received a copy of all paperwork from ER with my info. My husband told her that she needs to use it only for medical care regaurding the kids but I don't trust her one bit. My husband reassures me that she is not that stupid to commit a felony but she really hates me that much.

Talking with teen step children about sensitive areas

Having a conversation with an angry teen is not something for the squeamish. Add the step-parent dynamic to this, and you have a whole new level of anger and blame. Even though my teen step children have lived me for quite a few years now, there is still quite a bit of tension between us. With one in particular, we seem to have hit the worst time of our relationship.

I don't have a good feeling about this

BM emailed my fiance last night at 9:30 to inform him of their first Family Based Therapy appointment together at her place today. Here's her little love note:

BF,
On Tuesday, February 13, the family therapists will be coming here to meet with you, SD and me. They arrive at 6:00 P.M. and stay for an hour. I suggest that you come to the apartment to work with SD on school work and then have dinner before 6:00 P.M. - let's say 5:30 P.M. Is it possible for you to arrive earlier than 5:30 P.M.? Would 4:30 P.M. be possible? -BM
