The sad part is that they always trying to find a reason to call him or me like it is ok and its not he say he sick of them but he get mad when i keep it real with him about his sorry ass kids.So i try not to here him when he start vent about his kids,because he all ready knows that the apple don't fall far from the tree. The oldest 2 are having baby like crazy and now he want 2 tell me all about it i really don't care.So do u think iam been a little hard on him?

So the BM attorney told my and DH to act like adults when it comes to visitation rights and who can pick up and take SS6. This woman has called DH and i fat, stupid, uneducated and mentally abusive. all our recorded under text message. how long should DH and i have to wait until we say only contact between parents can be made between email unless there is a medical emergency. We only got a home phone for the BM to call her son yet she still uses my DH cell. it's very frustrating and rude. her new bf even gets in the mix yet we haven't said one word about him.

but I have left him and am at a shelter now working on getting a mobility application to the courts in order to move back to ohio. I have my daughter and my son with me and i hope to be able to go home but the fall hopefully. i really hope he doesnt fight me but in either case i feel confident i can win and prove that i can have a better life for my son in ohio.

Neglect or just annoying?

I have been thinking about this for some time. It popped in my head again today after getting into it with BF about what was important to him. He hates some of the things that BM does with their kids but doesn't do anything about it but complain. I know that he doesn't have the money for a lawyer to take her to to court and get custody changed. But still ....

I haven't been on Steptalk in a year & I'm happy to say that my life has changed so much. I split up w/ FH last April & it was extremely hard at first because I truly loved him & missed him but I realized that nothing was ever going to change. It didn't matter what I said or did. I never wanted to be a stepmom, especially to his children. They were raised so different from my own & I was so totally miserable. I got alot of advice from this site...some positive & some negative. I will say I still feel like I did. I don't like his children & never will.

We had ONE nice day a week ago, the first nice day we've had yet this year. By nice, I mean 60 degrees. The weather forecast said it would be back to 40 degrees with a chance of sleet/snow the following day. Also the wind was going to be 30mph...brrr! I dropped off my son at daycare that day and saw SS3 there. He was wearing SHORTS and a t-shirt. I commented about how it's silly to wear shorts when it's not summer out yet, and our daycare lady kind of gave me a look and shrugged her shoulders.

Ohh I've missed you all. I had my baby boy 8 weeks ago and I think I've only posted once since then. I'm now back at work (which has major lag times during the day) so I'll be posting like a regular again!

Where do I begin? I suppose from the beginning.

I met my now husband back in 2007. He has two boys, one of which lives with him. I moved in with him in 2008 with my son and daughter. Everyone got along great, the kids, us, etc. It was awesome. Since this time, my son has moved out of the house and is now 23 years old. My daughter is 11 and the step son is now 19. We were married two years ago and then my husband joined the Army.

Being a step parent is harder then being a parent. And how can he tell me this when he isn't even the bio dad he is technically just a care giver. He tells me things will change don't worry I don't want to loose you. But how will things ever change? The kids aren't his which makes me resent them, "which then makes me feel like a horrible person", I could Handel him not wanting kids before cause a least I thought the children were a part of him but they aren't. And kids aren't stupid they are going to find out.

Just want to get it off my chest! I posted part of my story the other night when I found the site, but there was so much more to the story. I definitely don't expect any of you to read all of this, I tend to be long winded! I have just had so much to deal with over the last 5 years and no one who really understands. I am the only one of my friends who has a step-child. Hard to believe huh? Even though I would never wish what I and DH have been put through on anyone, it is nice to know that I am not alone on my feelings.
