SO, husband and I had a lil talk last night, his last night before his trip. I asked if SD18 PPSDN was at her mothers already, and told him shes not staying at our house while he was gone. She was out with friends and was going to stay at our house that night. I added that he would need to take her to her mothers the next day, as thats when he would be leaving.
We just zoomed with SS25, Mrs SS, and baby. 7 lbs 11 oz, 23 inches long, an adorable little mouth, and a full head of dark curls.
SS: Look, son! There's grandma and grandpa!
Mrs SS: They love you sooo much!
It's true... DH is over the moon and I am in love and cannot wait to kiss his precious little head! *air_kiss*
Greetings and good afternoon steptalkers.
Today, another day, another question-advice-ask.
I planned a nice lunch for my Dad for fathers day. I told husband about it and he stated hed like to go also and bring his SD18 Princess Powersulk Do Nada along.
So the bio mom has been out of the picture for 10 years. She was in and out of jail, doing drugs, etc. but SD turns 18 and contacts her immediately. Her mom starts up with LIES about DH. She said there was a no contact order and that he was forcing her to pay child support even though (she victimizes herself once again..)..."Im so poor. I have no money. Im so sorry kids. I love you soo much." Is that why she didn't contact them for 10 years?
What are your challenges of being a step parent?
for me it's the fact that ss is older than my bio daughter. I have been in ss life since he was a toddler and it always felt like I was not yet equipped emotionally, physically , and mentally to take care of Ss like he was my own.
after having bio daughter it all made sense, I feel more connected to being a parent with my bio because I was prepared through pregnancy and growing with her through stages of her development into toddlerhood/childhood
What a lovely weekend. I hope all of you got to enjoy some nice, warm weather, and a pleasant Father's Day.
SMH....depsite me telling SD a few weeks ago to stop throwing her father over for Beaver, SD still throws DH out with the bath water to see Beaver. Now on Thursday SD sent DH a message..no hi how are you...but just the beauty school wants their down payment so that i can register. (mmmm.....really). That is the only message DH gets from SD..meanwhile...SD facetimes with the old Beaver 5 and 6 times A DAY.
So Father's Day... stepdaughter bm dosent get anything for dh, no card, no call nothing. I believe Father's Day should be special so I got cards gifts etc and booked a lunch for us (me&dh) kids were with grandparents skid was with bm. This is where I was stuck, who do I write the card is from? I felt so bad I ended up writing all kids names on including skid. What would you do going forward? Leave skid name off and if she asks why tell her to ask her bm? I don't know.
Since my son has been born 3 weeks ago (and before, for that matter) my MIL will NOT STOP talking about my SD12 and focusing every single conversation around her.
It is honestly one of the reasons I’ve been avoiding her coming over because from the moment she walks in the door until the moment she leaves she’s talking about SD12 non-stop.
Even when they came up to the hospital, not only was she going on about SD to us but she was telling everyone there about her, even the nurse staff and doctors that were coming in and out of the room, like they give a shit.
Ok we have hit absolute rock bottom with SD14 and you guys always have great ideas so we need advice, stat!
