There's a quiz for us!

It's probably just one more way for people to judge us, but there's a quiz about what kind of step mom you are! LOL

Here's the link : http://stepparentsperspective.lolspotsarticles.com/7884906-what-type-of-...

I think it would be fun to share the results, but maybe not for some of us!

I got legal adviser...I think this fits, I'm always trying to looking things up and I record visitations. Luckily I've learnt not to act on any of it but to leave the acting up to my husband, otherwise I think I'd be very frustrated because he never does anything about it all. He is a definitely a peace keeper, if there were a quiz for remarried dads.

I join your club, fine ladies! The youngest and I adore one another...the oldest who has acted out against me every single visit except one? Love/Hate and now I steer clear.

Can't blame a kid for drinking her mother's poison...a little girl who was told REPEATEDLY that Daddy:
1) left HER for me
2) betrayed her mom
3) abandoned THEM
and 4) loves me more than his own child.

If my mother told me those things about someone, I would hate the person, too. Hope she comes around, but if she doesn't, it's not my problem! SO will be having visits with the mean girl elsewhere.

I got the Mother "Step" Hen. I always have tried to do the right thing.

"Your DH needs to thank you for being there. You're the take care of it all mom, from baths to beds to schools& doctors. You love all in the nest. Regardless of their birth, you care & protect them as if they were your own. You take them under your wing and teach and nurture them like a mother should. You put your SK(s) first while putting yourself last. You always have the best comebacks, you can tell someone off with so much respect that people envy you. You can become over involved at times."

I have been disengaged for 3 weeks and was basing my answers on what we did when BM was alive. She died last year, so many of those questions don't apply.

I have the Skids FT! Biggrin So excited. - _____-

I got sideliner but looking at what others got i feel like it should have been step hen...lol

"You dont want to get in the way or overstep any boundaries. You let the birth parents co-parent without interference. But you are there as needed. You tend to your SO and your birth kids. You trust their parents to be the role model needed for the children. Your significant other & birth mom are probably on good terms and can co parent with ease."

but i dont trust BM to be a role model and they are not on good terms nad cannot co parent with ease some usually. lol

^^^beauty^^
you and i got the same result. And in our case BM is high conflict too, same as with you. I guess regardless of that I'd still be a sideliner. Her kid is turning out to be just like her. Axis II Cluster A Personality Disorder. Her problem, not mine.

My results:

You resent your stepkids and their ties to the birth mother. It’s a love/hate relationship. You try your best to love them but there is too many negative feelings. You would just rather not have them around at all. You’re the type of stepmother that is so overwhelmed because no matter what you do, you will always be viewed as the evil stepmother. You may be better than the rest of us, you’re continuously trying to bond with the step kids.

Very spot on.

Another side-liner here.

You don't want to get in the way or overstep any boundaries. You let the birth parents co-parent without interference. But you are there as needed. You tend to your SO and your birth kids. You trust their parents to be the role model needed for the children. Your significant other & birth mom are probably on good terms and can co parent with ease.

That is probably the nice way of saying "This SM has DISENGAGED"

Peacekeeper here. I'm not sure I agree though. It's up to DH to handle situations with SD and BM.

I'm a side-liner. I think it's pretty accurate.

I mean at home I'm involved and I have no issues disciplining the girls if they act like heathens. I don't even think about it, I just do it. But at exchanges and with court I'm SOOO not involved. I know what's going on because FDH and I chat about everything but I'm not coaching him or writing shit for him.

Stepmother hen. And dh definitely needs to kiss my feet. I have more contact with his kids than he does.

Sideliner.

But it's not accurate, some of the questions would never apply (CS for instance is different here in Aus) and responses weren't always ANY of the choices I would make - so I picked the best of a bad bunch.

If she moved away - my response would be Whatever.

I got Legal Advisor.

"You are legally on top of it all. You scour the net looking for any and all laws relating to child custody. You scour the phone book looking for attorneys who will give free legal advice. You have literally EVERYTHING documented from schools to doctors, to pick ups and drop offs. Down to printing out the call logs & putting all the recordings on CD's. BM should be scared of you!"

Which is pretty damn accurate.

Step Mother Hen... which is kind of odd. I always try to do the "right" thing though. But at this point I dont even engage the skids....

I got Peacemaker also. I am not communicating with that whackadoo! DH doesn't communicate with her much either. If it is about the skids, he will only talk about them, not her world, just the skids.

Side-liner. But I agree that there were questions where I was like, "Whuck? No, I wouldn't do any of these!"

And what the heck was with all the "your children" nonsense?!?! I kept having to go back and re-read, since I DO have kids and the question certainly wasn't about my bios!
