Found out ExBF is getting married
So the other day I get on the home computer and see my D15 is still signed into Facebook. For some reason I said to myself, let’s see if she’s still friends with my old exBF on here. I checked, and sure enough, she was. I know, I should have left well enough alone, but curiosity took over me and I looked at his page.
I was quite shocked to see that he was engaged to be married. Now, getting married was not the shocking part, the shocking part was how soon. July 3 he posts he’s in a relationship, then as of August something he’s posting he’s engaged.

Stupid sh$t my exH says
A post in the forum about CS made me think about my exH and what he said about it.
He was complaining that he couldn't claim our two daughters on his tax return since he pays "so much" in CS. He said could we at least split the kids so each of us claim one. I told him, not only was that illegal, but there was no way I was letting him claim them, not even one of them.

Why waiting to meet the kids is wrong
I know most people say wait six months to a year before introducing your kids to someone you are dating, but I think that is the worst advice in the world and part of the reason why so many blended families fail.

Friend called me a hypocrite because I don’t want to date men with kids – friendship is now over
Sorry this is so long. I made a very good friend at work. We hung out a lot, did play dates with our kids. She was with me throughout my divorce.
Sometimes though she would get real pushy with her advice even when she didn’t know what she was talking about.
For example, when I was going through my divorce, my friend, who knows next to nothing about divorce, would try push her advice on me about the divorce. We would wind up getting into arguments because she didn’t agree with what I was doing.
I'm sick with Baby Fever!!
*cough* *cough* I think I'm coming down with something.
What the heck is wrong w me? Wasn't someone else posting a while back about their "baby fever"? I think I "caught" it from them.
My BF and I have been dating almost a year now. He's planning on buying a house sometime this spring and has asked me and my two daughters to move in with him.

Stop making excuses for your husband just because he’s a man!
Okay, at the risk of getting flamed, I’m just going to say it. Why is it when someone comes on here and complains about their step kids and someone suggests to them that their husband is the problem, the OP gets all upset, lashes out at the poster, and accuses them of being rude and judgmental?
Granted, there are some times where it is the step kid’s fault, or the BM’s, but many times the problem is that the dad does not get control of his kids.
Treating former MIL like a BM?
So I'm thinking I might have to treat my exMIL the way some of you have to treat your DH's BM, as in the "no contact" rule.
When I was married to my daughter's father, me and my MIL did not get along. It got to the point that any communication about the kids (D14 and D7) had to go through my husband. When I got divorced I was so happy that I didn't have to deal with any of my ex's family any more.

Why Step Parenting Doesn't work
Why step parenting relationships fail when the BF is a guilty/lazy parent
(BF can also be exchanged for BM in the cases of step dads)
1. BF has to admit the way he parents is not working – in other words he has to admit he was wrong and want to change the way he parents.

People only change when they want to and even then . . .
I dated a man for two years that had a 7 year old son. From the beginning I saw that his son misbehaved a lot, but I was in denial. Maybe it won’t be that bad, I told myself. I was so in love with BF, I thought we could make it work.
