Stepson's attitude towards my daughter.

happy mom's picture

I noticed that my stepson (9 yrs old), is being so rude to my daughter (5 yrs old). It's like he judges everything she does and always putting her down and scolding her. She's not doing anything to harm him or hurt him at all. Can you help me figure this one out? It's like he hates her or something.

The summer went really well, but why is biomom mad?

Ok - so we just ended our summer parenting time with the kids and it went really well. Last year the SD was difficult to deal with and was constantly talking about her mom and dad getting back together. This year she hardly talked to her mom and never even mentioned them getting back together. This did not sit well with her mother, at all. Last year we got a blast o gram from her saying that the kids didn't want to come back up, because they were really difficult last year and were constantly being disciplined. This year - she is mad at us becuase they did have a good time.

These are the moments that show us why we hang in there…THE LOVE!!

Eventhough PSYCHO pulled that crap with the cell phone Friday night she could not ruin what turned out to be Absolutely the best weekend!!! I just received my Master’s degree last week…well my husband threw me the BEST surprise congratulatory party ever! There were about 75 friends and family members (more people than we had at our wedding!) there through out the night…he did such a good job!!

She’s raising her to be a little hypochondriac for her own SICK glorification!

A lot of these really hit home! Guess what that PSYCHO did this weekend!?! She sends the 6 year old with a pre-paid mobile phone with her number, her boyfriends number, her mother’s number and her sister’s number programmed in it…well the kids stayed the night with their aunt and cousins (my husband’s sister) b/c the only time they get to see them is when (if) we have them…so anyway my sister-in-law calls me last night saying “I’m very disturbed and I don’t know what to do about this…” and proceeds to tell me about the cell phone (it was the first I’ve heard of it).

Fighting with the step-children

mstuhr2006's picture

I recently remarried about a month ago. I have one daughter from aprevious marriage and my husband has two step sons from a previous marriage. The two boys used to live with their mother but she is very unstable. The boys now live with us. I deal with on a day to day basis with the constant bickering between my daughter and the one son. 99 percent of the time his son will instigate a fight. When I discuss this with my husband he seems to think I am just picking on his kids. I try to be fair but I can't control when they start a fight. His one son doesn't know when to let things go.

Stepfamilies from the kids perspective...

I thik this is the coolest thing...it is a PBS blog site where kids can write about their stepfamily situations...i've yet to see a positive comment...WOW!!! They talk about how they view their step sibs...and even more scary...not liking thier half-sibs (which i HATE that terminology...sibs are sibs to me!) We have to be very mindful of the whole "your-kid/our-kid" thing...check it out if you get a chance!

Hi, I'm new. I am getting married in 3 weeks to a good man who was previously married and has two children, a boy age 8 and a girl age 6. I have known all of them for nearly four years now, although I have known BF longer because we both agreed to wait to introduce me to the kids (8 months). I am fortunate that the Skids and I have a close and loving relationship. I have no children of my own, although I want children very much; at present I am a full time lawyer.
