I haven't posted in awhile as I really endeavor to remain disengaged but I was curious to see if others with adult steps have encountered incidents that display the adult steps intense competition with either you as the step mom or with your bios.

It just seems as though every time my bios reach a milestone achievement the adult steps reach out to us with an attempt to be involved or to show that they too can do whatever it is. It happened at this same time of life with my oldest bio and like clockwork similar actions on the steps part are occurring now that my youngest is passing the same milestone.

For some reason all of the attention that the bios get during this time seem to set the adult steps off and their actions just remind me of a little kid saying dadddddyyyy look, look at me,
over and over again. Anything to divert attention from our bios and their achievements.

It just floors me that the step adults and the BM bother after all of this time to try to get involved in our bios activities. We don't socialize haven't for years now after they lost their minds when husbands parents passed and would only talk to h if they could scream insults and obscenities because he didn't hand over his meager inheritance.

It seems as though they just can't stand it if someone other than themselves are the center of attention.

Anyone else experience this?
