I would love stories of how BM took the news that you step mom and DH are expecting a child together. DH and I just found out yesterday and are telling ss5 and bs 12,17,19 tonight. I'm sure BM will have breakdown since she thinks after she went through years of fertility issues with DH that I would have no chance of getting preggers. However, we were very very blessed and it only took 6 months!
How did your steps handle the news and BM or family?

ss5 called me Saturday morning from his childs cell phone DH bought him to tell me he missed me and DH. Called back and talked to him, he told us when BM goes away for work he wants to come to our house and he misses us. Also called DH and FIL to talk. Very sweet. Yesterday ss left message for DH with BM in background laughing and feeding him what to say telling DH he doesn't want to spending Halloween with him. It was very forced call and he sounded confused about what he was saying.

I've read enough on here to know my situation isn't the worst case, but it's mine and it's hard. I've begun to resent ss5 so much these last couple months. BM and MIL are having worse and worse impact on his behavior and I just can't stand to look at him anymore.

So yesterday was DH and my anniversary. We posted on fb...so last night BM decided to make it her mission to go way over the top and ruin it. here's the setting..she has first right of refusal which DH tries to follow the rules, however she NEVER does and when I say never I mean that any RULE applied to joint legal custody she breaks..like changing daycares, making doctor apts and having mil who we do not speak to take ss5, made specific arrangements with mil to pick ss up everyday from babysitter on her days thus meaning she doesn't give DH first right anyday.
