What a coincidence!

Coincidences are weird.

My ODD was born on the same day (several years apart) that DH and BM's divorced was finalized (which is also a couple of days before DH's birthday). 

YDD shares the same birthday as BM's husband.

And tonight, I learned that BM and her husband's anniversary is the same day as my Mom's birthday.

It's nothing bad, but just funny how several significant events happen on the same day.

Happy Birthday, SS!

Woohoo! Today is my stepson’s eleventh birthday!

I was looking through some old pictures of him, and I can’t believe how quickly he’s grown. He’s always been a quiet, introverted kid but this year he’s really reached out and made some solid friendships. We invited his buddies over for a surprise sleepover over the weekend, and it was so eye-opening to watch him interact with his friends. He is really turning into a wonderful, considerate young man.

Hello Everybody! (New Member Introduction)

Good Morning,

I’m oortcloud, a new member of steptalk! Previously, I was a semi-regular member (under a different username) of Stepmom Central on Cafemom. Since CM shut down their forms last month, I haven’t had a place to discuss stepparenting.

Some background: I began dating DH when I was 19, and SS was 3. DH was going through a divorce after a whirlwind relationship with BM, who had moved on to her – now – husband. DH and I dated for two years, and married on our second anniversary. Together, we’ve gone on to have two daughters: ODD4 and YDD1.
