DHs putting bm in her place...in front of the kids
Wwmsd's blog got me to thinking about this. How do you feel about this?
Me personally, I think that's a chat better had via email...that way give got proof you had it and the kids don't witness it. Then, bm also won't be unintentionally given an opportunity to say rude, crude things in front of the kids.

Also on the General Forum-Why SKs & BMs act the way they do toards us & are less than enthusiastic about us-unatural situations
Let's think about it. Who is wired to want separated/never married/divorced parents?
Who is wired to want another woman mothering their kids?
We are the only species that does step/blended families. We are the only species that splits custody and has to "share" OUR kids with another woman/man who is not a bio parent.
Maybe we don't know what God's plan was/is, but we certainly know that blended/step families aren't natural.
For those whose DHs don't speak to BM and the sks are minors...
How does your DH get notified if an emergency happens to the SKs?
What kind of BM would you be?
I asked this in the general discussion area but thought I would here too.
A question for all of those who have kids who don't have to deal with exes and SMs.
What would your boundaries be regarding ex and sm?
What lines, if any, would you not want your kids sm to cross?
If your ex was a pos to you and is a king to sm, how would you deal with resentment, if you felt that?

LeAnn Rimes just won't shut up
I know she's doing this for publicity but still! She gives us SMs a bad name. She's now saying she felt disgusting & pathetic after her affair with Eddie. Many, including me, still think she is both of those things!

Displaying pics of both parents together when one of the parents is deceased and the marriage ended when one of the parents died
How do you feel about this?
I think it is ok, because there was no messy divorce involved and BM wasn't around to PAS the kids. Plus, these pics may well provide some level of comfort to SKs of any age.
Sorry to be a blog hog but I saw the Brady Bunch on TV last night
and was laughing at how unrealistic that show is.
If anything, I think that show contributed to the notion that stepfamilies have to be one big, happy family. That stepkids and stepparents are supposed to adore each other and vice versa.
Who should be called "Dad"
Bm has, in the past, tried to get the SDs to call someone else "Dad." Usually, to no avail. This is when she had primary physical custody. Her reasoning was that they saw these guys more and so these guys did more "dad" things with them. I think this is very screwed up when they have a biological dad who loves them to no end, pays cs and (at that time) religiously exercised visitation. Seeing as they live here full time now, visitation isn't an issue.

Note to Disney Dads (or any parent): Don't automatically believe your kids, PAY ATTENTION TO THEM!
I saw this show today on Dr. Phil about a girl who even Dr. Phil describes as a manipulator.
Her parents thought that, because she had excellent grades, she was trustworthy.
They thought she was going to see friends.
They thought she was playing games on her laptop.
She was really going to see grown men she met and was dating online.
She really was chatting with grown men on the internet. She was dating a married man who committed suicide.
She really was going to a park, where a grown man molested her. She was 12 when this happened.
LeAnn Rimes "asks God for forgiveness"
LeAnn gives SMs a bad name. If she would just shut up about this situation and stop poking Brandi, everybody else would too.
I wonder how LeAnn's "boys" will feel about her when they find about her behavior when a classmate says something to them at school or they see a magazine headline about her at the grocery store.
Some think Brandi has been too hard on LeAnn. I think Brandi has been too soft on LeAnn. If I were Brandi, I'd make LeAnn sorry that she ever crossed paths with me. I wouldn't bash her or my ex to my kids, but I'd make them regret their behavior.
