I guess I deleted the post about SD14 getting her own way and she's been staying at her mom's for the last 2 months, which is fine by me except that it's breaking my husbands heart. 

I was glad to see I'm not the only post deleter - sometimes other people in the family use my laptop and it would be a total nightmare if SD11 saw any of my posts about her sister, she would hate me forever. 

So here's the situation:

The sadness

when you feel like you’re doing your very best and then something happens that reminds you, you’re just a stupid step mom. You don’t have any parenting rights. Your job is to keep your mouth shut and try to keep everyone happy. It’s exhausting.

I keep deleting old blogs because I get antsy about someone else seeing them. My background is that I've been married for 2 years, Step mom for 2 years, we jumped into our relationship both feet and I ended up moving to a community that I don't love and being a full time stay at home step mother half the year, which is very different and weird. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't. I love my husband and we're both learning a lot together, we both completely changed our lives when we got married.
