:)I ve been dating my bf of two years.He has a 9old son and a 10 year old daughter.I myself have a 7 year old son.Together we jst recently had a baby girl.6months ago.

A while back bm brought a case against dh b/c she said he was 6 weeks behind. We knew we were ahead and told her so and to not open the case as it will only hurt her. Well of course she didn;t listen and they did an investigation and what do you know dh was 1k ahead and she didn;t get any money for 6 weeks.

I have a question for you...first, how many here deal with it?

Second, what is the kids situation at the custodial parents house (if it's say the mom). Good, bad?

Third, have you asked him why he feels guilt and why he parents/doesn't parent based on how he feels?

Have you really listened to his motives, fears, point of view, and hopelesness, the despair. Have you heard him?
Do you encourage him while being understanding and empathizing with him, and perhaps trying to guide more discipline from his end?

:O OMG. So I have too lovely step children sd10 ss9.They r jst the light of my fn life!!..Right. About 2 years back stARTED dating my bf.And his kids.lol.i mean it.HE leaned on them like they were his own personal fn diary.Anything that went on between myself in him.they knew about.N it only benif them..as there fake a** bio mom hate me for no reason. Those brats saw there sad healing dad as leverage.

What do you guys consider going to far back on blogs/forums to post comments or whatever?? like some that come up and I'm guilty as well the OP was written in 07 and is not even a problem or issue at this point anymore. So I was just curious when do you consider going back on old posts as trolling?

I know I sound paranoid but BM has been surprisingly quiet and normal lately I feel as if something is a brewing, or can i actually be lucky enough to have the insanity finally stopping? If only she would now put her son first life might be bareable... although in great related news my SS8 went from a 60 in spelling to an 83 we really figured a way to help him learn I was so proud. However his mother was boosting to the football mothers about her hand in it a week ago, except I do all of his spelling homework with him...

So our current problem came to my attention this weekend when he brought up that I treat my Skids different. He says I am mean to my SD4. Although I didn't realize he felt that way but I quickly came to my own defense when I told him his little angle is naughty. 4 year old usually are, but she is also very spoiled when it come to her BM. I have no problem with that but when any of the kids are bad they get into trouble and she just happens to be in more trouble then the others.

I'll try to make this as short as possible:

This is sort of a follow-up to my blog last week regarding SD5 and how we are seeing her struggle with all of her different houmes -- you can see it here: http://www.steptalk.org/node/33603 if you need a refresher.

I am a first timer. I have looked for something like this for so long.

I have 2 biological daughters 7 and 9. I also have 2 step daughters 10 and 12. I am having so much trouble with the 10 year old. So is everyone else though.

She talks to EVERYONE like they are stupid. Everything that comes out of her mouth is ignorant and mean. She is almost 11 and thinks that she is better than everyone and it shows in how she talks and treats everyone. She is one of the most inconsiderate and inappropriate children that I have every incountered.
