I am so tired of raiseing her kids and then have her bad mouth me to them and have her tell them they don't have to listen to me I am not their mother.... Neither is she.. she told DH to take those F-ing little bastards when you go 10 years ago because she was too busy spreading her legs for every guy in the county, and she was too selfish to take the time to be a MOM and now she thinks she is super MOM...WTF!!!! I am too busy raising my own 4 children to deal with her 2 disrespectful boys who are teaching my children bad bbehavior!!! How do I get her to step up and be a real mother to these boys?? They feel confused after seeing how I relate to my children and how I try to be a good mother to them, and then I think they want to know that their MOther loves them they way I love my babies!! I think that is part of the reason they rebel soo much. I also think her jelousy about how the boys really feel about me (I know that they love me wether they admit it or not) Mkes her try to get them to hate and disrespect me more, in the hopes that they will love her!! I don't know... I just feel so lost and helpless, like I don't have a say in my own life anymore!!

You can't make anyone do anything. however the only reason she bad mouths you is because she feels inadequate and low about herself as a parent. Let her do what she wants kids will grow up and find out the truth on their own.

Thats right. Who gives a rats ass what BM says and does, it's how the children see you and how you care and love andhave fun with the kids. I think people underestimate the intelligence of a child, they see and they know and as long as the skids respect you and show affection towards you, just goes to prove her efforts of being a ruthless bitch are wasted...it's her wasted time not yours.

There's no use in figuring these things out, because it an't be figured out. BM is jealous that I'm a much better stepmom/friend to her two boys that she decided to bake cookies with one of them this weekend! HAHAHAHA She can't touch me...I'm too good. DH and I started a holiday tradition of baking with the boys. We have made 100's of cookies and a few banana bread loves. Now that she sees what a mother really does with her kids, she's stepping up. I'm glad though...but it's sad that it takes being jealous for her to get off her lazy butt and do something fun with them.
