Hi everyone, it's been a long time. I need to know that I am not just a raging lunatic and nuts. My grandmother had a stroke on Sunday. On Monday I started a super stressful week at work that I knew was coming up. On tuesday while at stressful work my Dad calls to tell me my Grandmother died. I can't leave work so I stuff it down and do what I have to do. When I leave I have a long drive (just for this customer not always) and my husband calls when I am on my way home and I didn't want to talk about it then, for obvious distracted reasons. Tuesday is his night to go out with SD to dinner.

Hi - This is not stepfamily related but I am hoping to get some advice. I have a friend who doesn't have children and undermines me with my kids. Like when I tell my daughter to eat what's on the table my friend says "no, she needs to ask for what she wants!" And will go get my daughter something else. When my friend is over at my house for my oldest a grad party and I tell my daughter to walk friend out- my friend like scolds
Me for asking my daughter to do it?

Any advice. Starting to drive me nuts!!

Damned if I do, damned if I dont

Hi, does anyone just not want to be arounf their stepkids? Probably a silly question here but I need to know I am "normal" and not evil. DH likes to paint me as a horrible bitch when my bio kids and I dont want to be around SD16. There is a long history to that, one that involves a crazy BM, DH being disney dad and the occcasional police visit when BM wanted to make a scene - never any abuse, ever. DH and SD have had a horrible time being close, PAS all the way. Now SD is spending more time with him, my kids and I just leave them alone.

Father's Day is coming. What does a new wife do for the PASed Dad? My daughter (who's dad is not in the picture) and I had a day planned for him, we are taking him to a local classic car show and I wanted to purchase the tickets (this is a suprise for DH, he only knows we need to know so we can buy tickets for something). This meant I needed to know If sd was coming or not. So DH texts sd and her mom to ask if she would be with him on Father's Day and to please respond by "x" time.
