Do things change when you and DH have your "own" kids??

Here's the scoop...I'm 22, SM to a 3 1/2 and 4 y/o SD's (yes, they are 6 months apart and yes, they have different BM's) and my question is do things change when you have your own child? This is why I'm asking...I love these girls with all of my heart and I've known them since they were itty bitty. I know this is probably a common feeling for SM's without their own children, but right now I feel almost "useless". I would move the world for these girls, and I know they mean no harm by this, they are so sweet, but I feel as if I'm just a babysitter for them at times.

Ok I will try to give you the background info. in as least amount of space possible! We really need your advice!! My DH and BM have joint custody of SD3. My DH however has primary physical care. Here's the deal... We are supposed to have (court ordered) SD Christmas Eve and take her back to her mom's on Christmas Day at 10:00, last year it was the opposite. Well, we just got a request from BM asking if she could have SD from Dec. 21-Dec. 31 so she could take her to England.

My heart is breaking...

This isn't a blog to vent about the crazy things a BM is doing or how much my DH is driving me crazy, it is about needing some advice for a hurting 3 y/o little girl. My SD is hurting very badly right now. The schedule that my hubby and BM have worked out is we have SD 4 nights a week and she has her 3 nights a week. For some reason BM has been calling us in the middle of the week to see if we can pick up SD a day earlier meaning SD only has 2 nights a week with her mom. BM works during the day so SD is only getting to see her mom a few hours a night.

Do you confront a liar?

Well, I'm new here and want to say I love to come to this site and know that I am not alone when it comes to problems with BM's. Something my hubby and I are dealing with right now is a compulsive liar BM. This may be a long blog so that I can share some background info. We first started noticing the lying about 2 years ago. SD is 3. 2 years ago BM told us she had fluid on her brain and had a 30% chance of living. We believed her and bent over backwards for her.
