I'm due to graduate soon and will therefore be looking for a job real soon. I'm wondering what the view is on distance from step kids? It's possible I may have to move for a job since there doesn't tend to be many jobs in my chosen field near me, which will inevitably impact my DF. We currently live around a 40min trip away from BM, but how far away would you say is reasonable to limit my job search. Custody is not through the courts since in the UK they're really reluctant to go through the courts (or so his solicitor told him) and it's currently on an every other weekend basis.

I'm super broody right now! My fiancé and I are getting married in December. I always thought when I got married I'd want to starting trying for a baby straight away and I think I'd really love to do that. But the thing is, SS drives me insane. Don't get me wrong, I love him but he's super hard work. I can't deal with his strops and I absolutely suck at getting up in the morning with him. SO does get up with him but I feel bad leaving him to it. What on earth makes me think I'll be able to handle my own any better? A child that'll be with us 24/7 rather than EOWE?!

Said SS4 to his Bampi. No wonder he's acting up in nursery if that's how he feels! BM doesn't stop talking about "the baby" which isn't even due for another 4/5 months! Literally she text FDH to tell him she was having a boy (she told us that weeks ago!) and then casually mentioned at the end of the text their son had hit someone! Surely the fact SS hit someone in nursery should come at the start of the text!! SS4 winds me up at times when he constantly talks about "Matthew daddy", BM's boyfriend but seriously, the poor kid!
