Haven't been here in forever but had to come by with this annoyance. 

Bio-mom collided with bratty son to decorate his room at dad and stepmom's house.

of course reddit and takei's followers of Facebook say dad and stepmom are the assholes and boundary-pushers for being upset and wanting to be involved...not the sabotaging biomom who redecorates a room in a home *she doesn't own* without even asking.

FML.

 

YSD is Dating an Older Guy With Kids :-/

Um.

So haven't been on here for a while but had to pop back in to share. 

YSD (21) dropped a bombshell a few months ago...back toward the beginning of the year. She's dating a guy 15 years older with 2 kids by 2 different women.

It gets better. Though he's nearing 40 and way closer to my age than her age...he's working as a server and lives in a one-bedroom apartment. I have no problem with the work...it's an honest living. But his mom is raising his one kid, and he doesn't ever have either kid over because he doesn't have the room.

AITA for Dismissing DH's Plan??

Hey Stalkers.

This won't stay up long because it's too identifying. 

I think I know how you'll answer, but I'm seeking confirmation because I'm feeling really guilty about shutting DH down. 

To start, DH and I have had a wonderful Christmas. We spent the morning with his kids and the afternoon/evening with my family. He stayed the entire time without seeming restless, anxious to leave, impatient, etc. This is rare...and I greatly appreciated it. 

SD Converses with DH About Going to a Strip Club

So...long time, no stalking.

The holidays bring out the step-dread, though. 

This weekend, we had a small, outdoor meal with two other couples. Both couples are childless by choice. We're also all in an industry that requires frequent testing in order to work and/or is having people work exclusively from home, so DH and I felt safe having this gathering.

Welp. On his way out the door to pick up some final ingredients for the meal, DH says: "SD (20) and SS (22) are coming!!!" like it's just the most fantastic thing ever.

So many frustrations:

So...this is a horrific story. That poor girl. But this decision seems unfairly gendered. Why is it automatically the woman's job to feed the child...who isn't hers? The dad had the greater moral and legal responsibility to care for this child who he brought into the world...but he gets the lighter sentence? Why? Because we automatically assume it's the woman's job to care for children, regardless of parentage?

 

Who's On First?

Reading a couple posts about kids being "first" this week has me thinking. In general, this has been my experience in Steplife and in observing others caught in Steplife:

 

Society as a whole: "The kiiidddsss should always be FIRST!!! They were there FIRST and should be put FIRST no matter what!!!"  

Random Strangers on the Internet: "The kiiidddssss were there FIRST and should always, ALWAYS be put FIRST!!!!" 

Oh My. YSD is seeing a divorced guy...

lol. 

SO DH and I went to lunch with OSD and her fiance over the weekend...and OSD drops the bomb that YSD is seeing a separated man. 

YSD is 18stb19. This dude is 27 apparently. No kids though. 

DH is freaking out. I wish the guy had kids and that YSD would jump in head first and elope...would serve them all right...
