Does anyone else feel like a total outcast in there own house?? All the kids and my husband snuggled up on the couch and you feel lik a idiot!

After being with my Husband for 4 years, and I have learnt alot about myself and having my SD and SS living with us 50% of the time. I still have so much trouble with not feeling like I'm part of the family unit.. I just wish I could just jump in but just never can!

We are currently on a family holiday out skiing and I'm here on my phone feeling like a idiot...

Wedding date - did you tell BM???

belle_27's picture

Need some advice .. I am trying to organize our wedding but I am really uneasy to tell skids wedding date in fear they will tell BM... I have heard some horror stories were crazy BMs cancel wedding cakes and show up at reception centers and abuse the new couple.

How did you handle this? Our BM is nuts and if she wrecked my day it would b world war 3! But also things will b spoken about when the skids are around n don't want them to feel excluded etc

Did you tell skids or BM wedding date?? Or how did you handle it!

SD-8 and my relationship CONFUSING

SD - 8 and i have had some up's and downs.. She is a very shy kid and we have been living together for 18months and i can barely get 2 words out of her. She has gotten better and has started telling me stories of her day and having a opinion, but she is a DIVA as well and had melt downs that can last 2 hours when she wants 2 as well!

So after my friday blog of BM showing up to go nuts at my FH at his work place, over a mouth guard that she didnt even tell us SS needed..

SHE took the kids keys they have for our house, WENT INTO OUR HOUSE DURING THE DAY! and took all the kids school uniforms, sporting equipment and went through our washing and in our laundry! INCLUDING my stuff... we have no clue what personal items she went through or what she touched, or even how long she was there for!

Psycho BM turns up at FH work to yell at him!!

i swear to god, she still thinks she is married to him and can treat him like dirt!

FH got a call at 8.45am, saying SS10 has a sporting day that he needed his mouth guard, we dont get school notices so we arent even told! so she expected him to leave his ver senior role to drive this mouth guard to his sporting day! and of course he said No he cant, SS 10 was at our house wednesday night and also all day thursday so if we arent told its a lesson for him to learn he that needs to remember his things and to communicate with us whats going on!

Snapped infront of the Skids..

Our house has had MONTHS of tension between SD9 and me. Everyone in the family still treats her as a baby! and to i just see through it. she does the whole "im thirsty and hungry act" every 15mins.. she is 9! she is more then capable of getting her own drink and snack. At 9 years old i am very sure you understand your actions and would have everyone around your finger, she knows she can do this because it works and she gets away with it.

mmmm ok, BM went pyscho at my partner over the weekend as she had booked an eye appointment on OUR weekend, but i was driving my partner to go and get his car picked up but it wasn’t ready, so i dropped him off and was driving SD home. Then got a called and asked if i could drop her at BM place because she is going nuts about being late for the eye appointment, but i was 10mins early dropping her off!

How can you not take is personally??

i guess i am only in newbie in this step parenting game (2.5years)! and i am young step mum... but how on earth do you learn not to take your skids actions personally?

i know i take things to things personally, but when my skids SS11 & SD9) give me the forced hello and the no effort. it honestly gets me so upset and breaks my heart all my efforts are unnoticed, They arent rude to me or anything like that..
