Hi all,
Well, if I were in the UK, I'd be saying, "bloody hell, I've had my husband underfoot for 2 days, with 8 more to go! He is on vacation from work and will be home with me so this should be pretty interesting. I sent him out to go swimming a couple of hours ago to keep him busy. I'm not used to having him around like this and it will probably drive me over the edge by lunchtime tomorrow.
I stumbled upon this sight while surfing the internet and I couldn't believe how many people go through the same grief that my family is going through.
A little background information on my family. I have been married to my husband for 14 years and his ex-wife has been a thorn in our side from day one. I have a 21 year old SS and a 19 year old SD and a 10 year old BS.
i have been married for a little over four years and before my husband and i met I had five children of my own that I was raising alone then we had three together and after we moved in together he started bringing his two sons from his previous marriage around to get aquainted with my five but by then I had already given birth to our first son together anyway when my husband would bring his sons to my house I would try my hardest to be a great stepmom always giving ideas on family outings and activites for us to do together etc.
Well, my boyfriend's daughter came as scheduled yesterday afternoon after summer school. She stormed into the house, could barely say hello (only after her father asked if she was going to say hello) went in her room and pouted. My daughter passed her driver's test and came home. The daughter then sprang alive and went to the store with my daughter (again, against my wishes - she is supposed to be grounded).
im so frustered i love my sd i shouldnt have to feel guilty for loving her when she was here this whole summer i took good care of her she was never sick when she had nightmares i was right their for her.
i bought her her birthday gifts.
i cheered her up when she was sad cause her bm didnt call her like she said she would.
i gave her love and attention when she craved it here iam the one who gets all the harshness from bm.
I hope I'm not the only feeling this way. It's been 6 yrs now that stepson is in my life and for some reason, I can't love this child. We see him 8 times a month and for some reason I can't interact with this child all the time or love him the way I would love my nieces and nephews or like my daughter. Is it because I don't have a good standing relationship with his biomom? Does that have an effect on my feelings & behavior towards this child? Or maybe because this child hardly interacts with me, not even a "hello" from him when he sees me.
I’d like to revive the age old Working Mom or Stay-At-Home Mom/Work-At-Home Mom discussion…have any of you ever been “at home” moms…I know quite a few of us don’t have any children but I know that some others are both biomoms and stepmoms…I’d like to get the perspective of both…I’m planning to have a baby within the next year to year and a half and I’ve proposed to my husband that we start looking into ways that I can stay home for the first 12-18 months…any suggestions, thoughts, etc…I also wonder how this will affect the dynamics of our family and I KNOW that there will be some problems b
Well, it's no wonder that ex-husband's just want to put a noose around the ex-wives necks and just pull! 'Cause I'm about ready to do that myself! Seriously I can barely stand this incoherent rantings and ravings from my husband's ex-wife. And if they go on much longer, I think I'll have to get a restraining order. She's a lunatic. I am completely about ready to lose my sanity now. My husband is flying off the handle, flipping out for no reason at all. He has the dogs frightened. So, I have the pressure from that. Then, I have all these ravings and rantings from "the lunatic".
Well my boyfriend did what I told him he should do - he called the exwife and told her that (1) he felt the daughter should have a punishment of 2 weeks, no phone (mom took the cell phone, but dad let her use our house phone), no sleeping downstairs with my daughter in her room, no seeing the boyfriend for 2 weeks; and (2) he questioned the mother as to why she let the daughter go to the fireworks with the boyfriend the mother forbidded her to be with when at our house? The mom responded that she gave in that one time (isn't that all it takes?).
Hi Guys, as you may have noticed I replied to a lot of postings over the last few days but wrote none of my own because SK's were gone and it was bliss, no arguing, no discomfort in my own home, no dealing with biomom, no nothing, just normality, well tomorrow they're back for a week and I'm already tense, I really wish my husband did not have joint custody. I feel bad when I say that out loud but I'm really wondering whether I'll ever truly love these kids, when they're here I really make an effort but when they leave I couldn't care they never came back, in fact, I wish they wouldn't.
