I work in retail where I do the grocery pickup. I get along with BM (husband's ex wife), and she had placed an order. She asked me if it was ready and I said I would check for her. When I pulled up her name, it had her previous last name which is my husband's last name. Now, I have placed an order before where I forgot to change my last name because it still showed my maiden name. She (BM) is remarried and has had her name changed on everything (except that, apparently). Should I tell her about it or should I just let it be?

So all of us (BM, her husband, & my step kid’s little sister, my husband, me, step kid’s grandparents and aunt and uncle) are all going on vacation. It was decided last minute that me and my husband are going because we found out we can take off work then. BM told SD9 that we were going and she said “i thought it was just us” with a pouty face which basically implies she doesn’t want us to go. How would you feel? I would like a family picture but since she doesn’t want us to go I feel sad. She honestly wants to do stuff with me so I don’t understand why she’s acting this way.

My step daughter is 9 and likes to fix her own hair, especially for church. Her mom usually fixes her hair for other events and if she has her on the weekend, she fixes it for church. Should I let my SD continue to fix her own hair or should I do it for her? Sometimes it looks a little messy, but not bad. I fix it if she asks me but I don’t ask. I have braided her hair before but tried to fix it for church one day and I am no good at it. I get nervous and lumps are always in her hair. Do y’all do your SD’s hair or let them?

So this is tied in with my OCD and I want to break this habit. My stepdaughter (9) does beauty pageants and has been for a few years now. She got a new dress at almost every pageant and I have felt the need to take a picture with her. She has a pageant this weekend, but is wearing the same dress she wore a couple of months ago. I feel like every time she has a pageant, that I have to take a picture with her. We all go to her pageant (her mom, step dad, my husband (her dad) and me). Her mom takes pictures of her as well, but not with her and only posts pictures of her.
