Been quiet around here

ozmommie's picture

It's been pretty quiet around here which means BM had forgotten about SD and rarely saw her...so BM called DH a few days ago and demands holiday time....PLEASE TAKE HER AND DON'T COME BACK! Tired of dealing with a whiny suckpants kid that is not mine. I try to be patient with SD she is mostly a good kid and has a lot to deal with since BM comes in and out of her life at her own leisure.....just need time away from SD...it is so hard to be a Step.

I just don't get it

I can't understand why Dh's family still talks to BM....SD lives with us and spends a majority of her time with us...yet MIL and SIL will go out for dinners with her(and SD)...we have discussed this with DH's family in counselling and they said it would be cut out. I can't comprehend wanting to even look this poor excuse of a mother in the face let alone share a meal with her....should I even care? or should I just keep my relationship with them,(which is rocky at best)superficial?

Dear me

Dear me:
So it's your first real mothers day and DH did absolutely nothing,at least you still get to wake up numerous times a night with the baby and deal with a child who is not your own all week long. Stop feeling bad for yourself because it's supper time and if SD asks you one more time what you are cooking your head might explode. Take this as a lesson learned and check yourself into a swanky hotel next year...he might not think you deserve it but I do.

Are we all secretly crazy

I'm new here and have been reading a lot of posts....there seems to be a common theme..BM's are all crazies?How can this be? There can't be this many undiagnosed mental disorders out there. Does something happen chemically to a woman's brain when she gets a divorce? Is the problem actually our SO/DH and the woman they choose to have children with? Does this mean I have the potential to become a special kind of psycho too? I enquired about this today with my DH he assures me that it's not just BM's that are crazy....it's ALL women...lmao. just a thought I had

Am I overreacting?

So BM drops off SD today after her weekend visit and SD has a stuffed animal with her (BM and her BF are smokers, and smoke all weekend long in a tiny apartment. I have a 7 month old and told her that the animal had to go back to her place because of second and third hand smoke on it. She tells me I'm overreacting. I tell her that this is my house and it is smoke free. She then proceeds to tell me that I can just wash it, so I just say if you want to poison your child I can't stop you, but you don't get to poison mine. Her response is to keep the animal away from my LO.
