Hi, I have just joined this group, I need advice from someone who understands. I have a 5 month old baby boy, and two step children (7 and 4) who, usually we have 6/14 nights. BUT for the past three weeks we have had the kids full time as the mom is going through some serious issues and cant cope. At the weekend ss (4) broke his arm. I have looked after him since then as Dad been at work and bm can't handle him. She had him back today as she "wanted to spend time with him" OH just received phone call from bm saying shes taken him to school as she can't cope with him, and has asked OH if we can have him full time permanently. I just don't know what to do! I love my sc like my own, but I am struggling myself with PND, and general lack of sleep, lack of help from any grandparents. BM is crazy, she has a new bf that she spends all her time with, she thinks ss has adhd, but in reality she can't handle him. He is alwasy good for me. I feel resentful that this is a life changer for me, as OH works long hours, so I will have ss a lot. Plus feel sorry for sd, i don't see how they can live seperately. My OH just assumes I will do this and be ok with it. To add, me and OH are having difficulties at the moment due to the immense stress bm is putting on us and other things. Please help, what should I do???
