SO we're all in a great mood....looking forward to getting this over with...its' good practice for all the 'socializing' we'll have to do with her this summer.....

Evil Step-Mom Strikes Again

lylagarrett's picture

Well, I guess the "evil" step-mom had struck again it seems. Or at least that is what my SD has told her father. She called him yesterday to inform him that she was no longer a part of our lives. It's all my fault and in her words I got what I always wanted. It amazes me that someone can put the blame on me when she is the one who has had nothing at all to do with this family since having us thrown in jail and not speaking to anyone in over a year, steps back in one day and expects things to be like nothing every happened.

What is your Step New Year's Resolution?

Nymh's picture

Most of us have our own personal resolutions, but do you have any resolutions that relate to step or blended family life? Possibly something to do with the ex or the skids? Maybe something that you personally want to work on within yourself that relates? Or perhaps something that you think could use some work between you and your spouse?

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"

Caitlin's picture

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

Nymh's picture

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.
