New SM

TKO's picture

I am a new SM to a 4 year old SD. I also have a BD that is 6. My ex's girlfriend and BM has not taken to well to me or the new marriage. Several of the things I read in the blogs are what she is doing to us. I've bought books on stepmothering and blending families, but nothing ever really prepares you and helps you deal with a "mean" BM. I'm lucky to have a very yound SD, but I still find myself working and reworking the progress of blending our families upon each return from her BM's home. The latest and greatest things to deal with are...my ex-husband and the BM dating!

Ahhh...Monday morning!

It was one of the weekends where I wake up on Saturday morning and instantly wish I was back living my "single-parent" lifestyle. My two kids would wake in the mornings and it was just quiet around the house.

Boy, it's far from that now. My husband and my eyes are openend suddenly from the SS's noises, beeps, whistles, stomps, clamping, dancing, etc. movements. He's telling everybody to "shut-up!", "move over!", "I hate this show!".......and as my hubby is running for his medication, I'm wishing for the quiet days.

Ready for SD to GO HOME ALREADY !!!

BF's Ex got kids for Christmas Eve & Day but the entire week prior we had the kids full time, since they were out of school. BM didn't care, she just said Great! Stay with Dad and his GF/SM me "who she hates"... Supposedly, because I have yelled at her several times and told her what a piece of crap she is, along with yelling at her son and being a total jail warden when he is in my presence. The 14 year old has stolen from me and my son, his father and who ever else. He is also expelled from school, has wierd behavior and really keeps me on my toes at all times.

The weekend is over

I made it through the weekend, barely. Not too many arguments, kids just tried to play us parents against each other. I really hate when they do that. Then on Sat night the kids BM calls, she wants them on Sun around noon, and of course my husband bends over backwards for the witch. So since my husband is at work at this time I have to drop what I am doing to run them to her house cause she can never come get them. Is it normal that my husband bend over backwards for the EX? Sometimes it really bothers me. If he ever wants to have an argument with her it is usually through me.

Today my son turned 12 :-)

Well today was an awesome day. My son just turned 12 years old, I am 31 so we had a really great day. He got a lot of nice gifts and his bio-dad, who has not been involved until recently called him to wish him a great one and promised that he would be seeing him soon. So, overall it was a great day. This time of year is really busy for me & the family. With Christmas, then my son's birthday in Jan., and my other son will be turning 1 in February. Thank goodness it's around tax refund time.

I really thought we made it...... :(

I have just had the "rug pulled out from under me". I have posted on here how my husband & I have custody of SS, and that his EX is crazy. Well BM has gone beyond that now. I got a letter from my lawyer today that nearly killed me. BM & her husband, my husband & I were assined a parenting coordinator after we got custody of SS, because the fighting between BM & my husband was so bad, they would harrass us, we would get angry back,etc... So I figure, well now we got a "babysitter" to keep things at bay.

We got the court summons today...

I'd like a little backup on this...I'm not really all that upset, partially because I knew it was coming, but I'm still uneasy about it. BM has been asking me for weeks if we've gotten any "paperwork" in the mail...I don't know why she does that. I guess she just wants to hear for herself from us that she's screwed us yet again...like a sick, masochistic pleasure thing. But at any rate, what she was eagerly anticipating finally came to us today - the subpoena for a hearing over BF's contempt of court due to back child support.

What hurts....

I take my step-children to school and pick them up from school every day but Thursday......What hurts is on Thursdays when their mom picks them up.....they pretend they don't know me as they walk past me to get into moms car.

Can't wait for the day this will all change...
