What a weekend! SD called on friday just before DH was to pick her up. He forgot his cell phone at home and she wanted to know if her friend could come spend the night. I said it was fine with me but she had to ask her dad when he got there. I knew he'd say yes so I got supper ready with one extra plate. The friend came and the evening went pretty good.

Thanks everyone I Love my BF alot. fought a little over the phone while texting. Im not good at venting aloud to often. I usually let it build to a boiling point, not good i know. for two days i didnt talk to him much at all wouldnt make eye contact after the let down of the pre approval. when he got home we talked a bit, i feel better know. Told him we need a set time everyday that they pick up their things around the livingroom and kitchen. They share a room thats the hardest part. They each have own dirty clothes basket and I have BF do the girls laundry and his work uniforms.

I am such a mean dad and step dad.

alrighty hope all you guys are in good spirits and sound body, well as sound as can be lol for us Steps. So Bm sent DH a email today saying SD wants to go with grandparents on a trip over spring break. Well We already made plans for SD to come here for the entire week. SD is only 7. Dh emails her back and says no we already made plans for her to be here and she cant go. BM responds back and says " god every time i try being nice to you, you start being a jerk and blah bla blah." DH tells her no i am not being a jerk, her school breaks she is to reside with me, thats what the papers say.

So Ive just been watching a house programme - the latest in america and coming to tv in Norway probably years from now, anyway, and there was this woman who was blogging her whole life and I thought why dont I do that about my step-parenting woes? I dont really have anyone to talk to about it, everyone is biased and I cant very well tell my mum and dad that he said we would have to split up if I didnt like his son can I?

This is my first time doing this... my first time blogging, and my first time being in this situation. I am 23 years old. I grew up believing in fairy-tales and romance. My parents are still together, so are my grandparents who act as my second parents. I have 2 wonderful little sisters whom I would anything for. One is 20 and the other is 15. Needless to say, I have an extremely close family.

My smooth Saturday has turned into a smooth Sunday. A week of bliss and harmony? I could get used to this...

We just went threw the courts and got a regular set up of parenting time. It has only been in effect for a little over a month. We were schedualed to have sd on the first saturday of april. BM text my husband and says well you cant have her those weeks the court order will be changed because i am moving back to Michigan on easter permently. She has to have permision to leave the state but she is saying because she is moving back to the origanl state that she does not and there is nothing he can do about it. She is moving and that is that.

Just watched the Oscars for 2009 and was thrilled to see one of my favorite actresses and step-mom, Sandra Bullock win Best Actress. To my delight, she dedicated her Oscar to "the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from."

I felt like that includes step-moms, as well as adoptive parents, and it was wonderful to have us step-parents recognized and thanked by such a wonderful actress in front of such a large audience. Awesome!

I met my husband 10 years ago. I was 19 and he was 35. We was seperated from his wife and had a 18 month little boy and a 3 year old little girl. We fell in LOVE hard and now have been married almost 7 years. We have a 5 year old little boy, 2 1/2 year old little boy and another boy due in about 5 weeks. My stepdaughter is now 13 and stepson 11. I LOVE being a mother more than anything in this whole world, but cannot say the same about being a stepmother. I look back and feel I was so young when I feel in love with my husband. I was 22 when we got married.
