So not blogged in a while. BM has been pretty quiet and didn't cause any problems over the holidays. All in all we had a lovely Christmas.

My concerns at the minute are with SS. He has over the last month become extremely affectionate towards me. He literally follows me everywhere, is attached to me like a limpit, calls me beautiful, kisses and cuddles me, tells me he loves me and will push himself in-between me and DH and tells DH that I belong to him. (SS is 7). Now I know some of you ladies would appreciate a little more affection from your stepkids especially if they are troublesome but this is such a change in him that I don't know if I need to be concerned. He was sort of affectionate before in a polite way (would kiss me goodbye etc) but not to this extent. Do you guys think this is something I should worry about? Or just enjoy it while it lasts? (sorry if there's typos I'm on my phone).

It could just be a phase. I wouldn't expect it to last long. I don't think it is something to be really concerned about, just try not to act annoyed by it all... That would be hard for me!!! }:)

No I don't act annoyed at all. I wouldn't do that to any child and I do
Love my SS.

Certainly better than him throwing legos at your face and screaming I hate you Smile

Enjoy it now but just pay attention. Perhaps he is going through a phase or perhaps he is not getting much attention from BM (new boyfriend or child maybe?) and just wants to reassure himself you and DH are there for him.

I wouldn't get too concerned. Again, enjoy the love and just keep an eye out for anything that might be off.

Nothing that we know of at BM's but she is the type that wants to know everything that happens at our house and our private lives and business but wants us to know nothing about her home life with SS etc. Theres no new arrivals and there definately won't be with BM as she can't have anymore children. No illness or anything either. It may be that he doesn't receive enough attention from BM. She is definately the kind of mum that uses SS for show then puts him in front of the tv when there's nobody to show off too if you know what I mean.
