Child Support

My DH has full custody of SD10 with BM having supervised visitation. Well, since we got married in November she has decided to take more of a motherly roll in her daughters life. She doesn't work and is a respiratory therapist! Yeah right I know. Anyway, she was ordered to pay child support and hasn't paid the first dime. My husband took her back to court in November and she was given 6 months to find a job and begin paying. Well, she still isn't working to my knowledge. So the problem is that her mother has hired an attorney to take DH back to court in July for joint custody.

Any stepmom's out there with no bio children

Any stepmom's out there that have no bio children of their own? My husband and I are going through fertility treatments now and I am wondering if I will feel less resentment towards him and SD10 if I have my own child. We have disagreed in a few areas of discilpline. SD10 is a pretty good kid and there has been little to discipline. However, I am trying to get him to see that if he lets her get away with the small things that bigger things will follow. Anybody agree? Disagree?
I will be 39 in June and my clock is ticking...what to do?

The site of her/sound of her name makes me sick!

I am a nurse and feel horrible about the way I feel! Shouldn't I have more compassion for people in general? I have only been married for 4 months and am contemplating divorce bc of my sd10. At first things were great and I was excited to be a stepmother. I don't have children of my own and am 38. However, her birthday was in December and I went all out. Same goes for christmas. SD10 went to her moms for 2 weeks and when she came back things were different. I don't know what the bitch told her but it was different.
