But there is a world of difference when you slip and substitute one for the other when you are trying to book tickets to go on vacation.

At least when I get off of the plane I will have MY Hotwife waiting for me at the airport after getting off of the flight that booked on Hotwire.

That was a shocker. After a long day at the office seeing a naked woman pop up on my computer screen when I am trying to book a flight certainly woke me up.

I am a stepmother for 6 years. No children of my own. It has been a hard road. There are 2 girls-27 & 23, both married, & a boy-17. We have shared custody of the 17 year old every other week. Trying to be acknowledged has been difficult. I'm not trying to be their Mom, just at least respected & noticed. I have tried but it never seems right. Conversations seem to be between them & their dad. And I am thinking, hello, does anybody see me over here! I feel invisible. I am getting to hate family gatherings. It is a lot of work for lack of acknowledgement.

i am a stepmother of 2. their ages are 16&17. they have lived with us for 9 year but the girl just moved out.they moved in 2 weeks after we got married . my husband works 4/12,so they stay with me.boy do i have the fun . they have smoked pot and have had sex.dont help around the house and leave when they want to . they act like they are 21 are something. my husband says they are teenagers. that right i tell him not 21,so treat them like teenagers. make them help and go to school and have respect for others.

i joined onto this group to share feelings and issues with other like minded people who where in my situation.
So far i have received from really helpful and useful advice and i really appreciate this site for helping me. Since i have joined though, this website has just become a huge name calling and very poisonous!

Last weekend my SD14 was caught out for the second time lying and sneaking off to a friends house to get drunk with a group of similarly misguided friends. The friends mother apparantly permits this in order to prevent her daughter, my SD and friends from drinking and camping in the park. SD was removed from the house and grounded for a week when her BM found out she was there the first time, but 2 weeks later foolishly did the same things again while her BM was away and thought SD was with us for a family birthday.

I have been married for seven years to my husband. About 3 years ago we moved to be closer to his daughter. For the first 2 years I put up with his bitter revengeful ex wife. Since day one, she has been the thorn in my side. She gets regular child support and still expects for my husband to pay for other expenses for his daughter. In the mean time, she does not work and has not worked in 8 years. She is remarried and her husband makes really good money. In the past she would always complain she is broke and never has any money.

So I have complained about SS13 not doing his homework and lying about lots of things. I know we need to get him whipped into shape and we are trying. BM gets him every other weekend as she lives out of state. She made the decision to leave and had actually never even met me. Who does that?? Anyway, she is very controlling and wants my DH to do everything she says when it comes to their son. He does for the most part give into her because he says it is easier than dealing with her mental games.

i suppose what some of you all do, is simply take ones mind off of one's OWN PROBLEMS.... because its so much bickering that we are allowing the negative people to over come our own personal problems.... which actually makes me laugh. IT allows me to not stress out as much about my personal problems... THERE ARE MUCH BIGGER PROBLEMS HERE... I BELIEVE IN ADVOCATING FOR YOURSELF, BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT YOU PEOPLE THAT ARE HATEFUL LOSE A LOT OF GROUND IF THEY ARE SIMPLY IGNORED!!!!!!!!!!!

So here we go again me and my ex just started back talking and I tell you I still care about him and whats even more funny is that he never told his family that we broke up. For those of you who do not know whats going on. I am 21 dating a guy who is 31 with 3 kids and 2 more that may notbe his and was debating on whether or not I should stay with him. Back into confusion I really miss him and our talks. I am trying to see other people but it seems like right now he is the only that is making the cut.

For some reason the bookmarks on my computer disappeared....So I kept going to this site and trying to log-in only to find that my username was not recognized....What? I tried like eight times...Figured out how to get my bookmarks back and it turns out this is "StepTalk" not "StepTogether" the place I was trying to log in to. Yeah, I'm an idiot. Glad to have your support!!!!!
