I hate her

stepmomp's picture

I absolutely hate my husband's ex wife. She left him when she found out about his affair with me. She went out and finished her degree and moved away to start a new life. I can't stand her. I think she is unstable. She lets my hubby know how the kids are. Doesn't she see that I don't want them in his life. It has been four years since he spent anytime with them. I sent them there stupid christmas gifts just to please him. And she was wondering why he didn't call them. He doesn't have to call them but she has to be nice to me.

Hey all!

I haven’t been posting much although I’ve been trying to read everyone’s posts…miss a few days on this board and you miss A LOT! Kind of hard to keep up! Well I’m on vacation for a few weeks until I start my new job early next year…also, my husband is “down” and so I’m playing nurse to him so that keeps my hands tied. I don’t know how much I’ll be able to post once I start my new job b/c OBVIUSLY on my old job I had A LOT of time…but I’ll still check in with you all…what can I say, I’m Addicted too!

Mother in law...favors ex wife over me

happy mom's picture

I have this strange feeling (gut feeling) that my mother in law (MIL) prefers husband's ex wife over me. MIL knows that I despise this woman. Sometimes I ask her if she spoke to ex issues regarding SS she says no then later in the conversation she'll say things that only she would have gotten the information from ex....so I'm thinking huh? Like she lies & hides the fact that she talked to ex. MIL says things like ex likes to come to her house....like I don't or something. What do you think, I hate the idea that my MIL is even talking to this woman!

Unofficial "stepmom"

As anyone who has read my blogs already knows, BM has a real problem accepting SD's life with her dad, me and her baby sister (and new sib on the way!) She is very insecure and jealous and tries to fill her head with nonsense all the time. Typical parental alienation. She hates us, so she wants her daughter to hate us too.

Back from the Attorney's

BF said that our only problem right now is that we're not married. Even though they were separated for so long, because they've only been divorced for about a year it would be considered "inappropriate" for SS to cohabitate with BF and I in the same home. The lawyer told him that if he does get more custody, and we aren't married then either BF may have to spend the night elsewhere with SS or I may have to leave and sleep elsewhere. Spending time during the day together would be fine, just not while sleeping.

Dad is jealous....

My kids usually only ever ask for 1 thing for Chritmas. This year daughter wanted a digital camera and son wanted an mp3 player...and of course they got "surprises" and gifts from others...

BUT the biggist surprise was something my hubby and his friend had been working on for weeks in his budy's garage...for my son. He had the frame & body..but bought & assembled the parts..for a GO-CART!!!!!

Is it him, me, or both of us?

I’m feeling like such a wicked stepmother. My little guy is 4-1/2, a wonderful age full of growth and being more of a “big boy” all the time… it’s also filled with stubbornness, mouthiness, whining, pouting, potty talk, etc. I don’t always have the patience I think I should for it and I find myself reprimanding him, then being worried about damaging our relationship and feeling like a big, fat meanie.

Can we keep stepkids things at our house that we buy for them instead of sending home.

Shar's picture

Everytime biodad buys his kids clothes, toys, electronics, etc, they want to take it home and we never see it again....Biomother sends them in stinking smokey clothes or clothes that are torn when she knows we have special places to go. This christmas my family bought biodad kids a portable dvd player, and nintendo ds plus lots of clothes..Well the kids want to take them home...I say no, now biodad is caught in the middle. He knows that we will never see these items again, but the kids keep on his case. What do we do?

Dazed and Confused

My daughter has a wall up when it comes to my boyfriend. She admitted to be jealous of my boyfriend and I think she also feels like if she is nice to my boyfriend it would be a betrayal to her bio dad (who, by the way, is terrible and very selfish and never puts his daughter first when it comes to spending time with her - maybe once a month he'll check in...). My daughter has been in extensive therapy and one of her goals is to have a better relationship with my boyfriend.
