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
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!
My husband and his wife split up 20 years ago and we started living together 14 years ago. We had been involved in a relationship for most of his married life and eventually his wife found out and after four years of trying to save the marriage he came to live with me. I have never had a conversation with his four adult children, two daughters and two sons. Youngest 31 to eldest 40.
Hello, I'm new here 22F dating 33M who has two kids 12M and 13F. BM 45F is insane. She is manipulative and will call my partner just screaming her head off still to this day and he has to hang up on her. There was no divorce he never married her and left two years ago him and I got together 4 months after he left (third time he left BM). We live together and I feel like I'm getting the shortest end of the stick in the world.
Well I might get some grief for this post. Several weeks ago someone I dated for a few months before my now SO, reached out to me. I had planned his oldest sons graduation party and the second one just graduated. He wanted to find out a certain vendor I used. I think he could have found one on his own but whatever. I did answer and gave him the information. The company still had all my information and I was getting all the updates. I would forward to him. He would respond with how well I did the party before etc. Norhing bad.
