I was busy busy busy this weekend and didn't get on here much, but this morning I am reading all this stuff regarding what's going on over at ivillage.

Personally, (here comes my opinion) I have absolutely no desire to go over and read what they're saying over there. I am assuming that the BMs over there are wonderful parents with wicked stepmonsters who have entered their lives, so I can not relate, because I AM NOT in that situation. I could care less what the BMs say about stepmothers over there. I believe there are some wicked SMs out there just like, for us ladies on this site, there are some wicked BMs over here!

Let's face it ladies........I learned a long time ago that women CAN be our own worst enemies. I had a "friend" who hit on my boyfriend (not my FH) and gave him her # and four days later, he moved out of my house and was dating her! Yes, he was an asshole, but I was more pissed at my "friend". Six months later when he did the exact same thing to her, she called me, devastated, and wanted to talk to me about it "since we were in the same boat" and I told her that "No we aren't in the same boat, because I didn't go after her boyfriend like she had gone after mine, Thanks and bye." And then I worked with a couple of ladies who hated me just because I was TOO nice!

This site, for me, is so that I can relate MY personal experiences with others who have similar personal experiences and can give/receive advice accordingly...........

I don't feel like I have an enemy on this site and I don't view BMs as the enemy. (I am a BM and a soon to be SM) I just view MY BM as a useless, trashy, dirty bag of crap. And I view her this way because she has NEVER shown me any other side of her. Every week it's something new and stupid.

So, my hat's off to all of us BMs who are doing the right/good things for our children.

And my hat's off to all of us SMs who are doing the right/good things for our children.

Any ivillager BM who has SM issues, that's unfortunate, but you have your forum and we have ours.

That's all I have to say for now..............
but the day is young and bag of shit BM hasn't caused any drama yet today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everybody had a great weekend!

Thanks and bye.

I also enjoy your stories/advice/commentaries, etc... very much! You are always very articulate, to the point, and refreshingly witty and I think your skids and DH should feel lucky to have you!

I haven't read too much of the debate not really wanting to get into it. I did read a few things from iVillage and it only made me mad. I'll stick to Steptalk. Besides, our format is sooooo much easier to navigate. Thank you Dawn!

until BF told me BM's Dad was getting internet. That is why I got upset SAM was calling out my ivillage name. I haven't posted anything 'BAD' over there in a long time but still didn't need any type of "link" in case.
This board is really random for new people to use so I doubt she'd catch on here but I have Murphys Law syndrome...if it can happen, it will shit on me.
