What should I do?
So here recently my step kids have not said "love you" when I say it to them. They have been before, but here recently they haven't. We all get along great with their mom and her husband so I'm not sure if it's because of a loyalty thing or if they are getting older. SD is 9 and my SS is 6. Maybe they don't feel obligated to say it back? Should I back off from saying or keep saying it. Or just say "love y'all" to both instead of one at a time. They don't say it to their step dad a lot either.
Anyone feel this way? It’s sorta crazy.
Okay so this is gonna sound so crazy of me and I think it has to do with me having a social media problem in itself, but every time I buy a new shirt or one of my step kids has a new shirt or in this case (my SS got a new set of ties), I feel like we have to get a picture of everyone in their new outfits, including me. My step kids mother posts pics of the kids by themselves a lot, but I feel like I have to do that too if they have new attire. I mean, do y'all feel that way? Do y'all feel like y'all have to get a picture if you all have new clothes or if the kids do? Any advice?
Was this rude of me?
Yesterday we were all (me, my husband, BM, her husband, SS, SD9, and their baby sister from BM and her husband) eating after SS6's basketball practice. SD was playing the "raise your hand if" game. She said "raise your hand if you love (my nickname)". She raised her hand, SS and their baby sister did, along with my husband. I said "Aww y'all are so sweet." but didn't even think about saying "I love y'all too", because I do. I have told them I love them also before, but at that moment I didn't even think about it. Was this rude of me?
Would you get a tattoo of something your step kids wrote for you?
My step daughter wrote me a note that said "Dear "my nickname" I love you". She written it like 5 years ago and I thought about getting it tattooed on me sometime. My husband and I get along great with his ex wife and her husband. We coparent great and go to the kids events together. Even if me and BM get along, would this be overstepping boundaries for me if I got the note tattooed? Should I be respectful and not do it? What are your thoughts?
