Brandon Riley from OK (or your SO)....if your intention was to damage my relationship, you may have succeeded....

I have to give you credit, you must have gone to great lengths to find my FH's name and then find him on Facebook. And great job on your detective work! You also figured out the name of my SD8...you must be so proud of yourself. Although I feel sad for you that you have nothing better to do than to spend all this time in your life just trying to hurt people who are already struggling with their emotions...way to kick a family when they're down.

It occurs to me that I did not think this through, maybe I am not a good step parent, how did I think I could do this??????

SKs and pets

I know I've read other posts concerning the issues between SKs & pets, so I hope there are others who can relate. I am a dog lover, I've always had one & I always take great pains to make sure that my dog has great manners around kids. My last dog died a year ago & his behaviour was always being complimented. He was a little pug. Around the time my son turned 1, I decided to get a yorkie. I had no problems teaching my son & my dog how to treat each other.

Act like your three that will get you somewhere

I still cant figure it out. My step daughter is nothing like my biological children except for my 5 year old who still whines and cries if he cant have something he wants. But my older children understand the word "no". Although they may not like it they rarely will argue. They might say please please...but they dont sass me or talk crap to me.

So FH and I are having a cook out later today with both our families so they can all meet each other. I'm really stressing right now and truth be told have been for the past couple of days. I've been preparing for this party for the past week...cleaning, shopping, etc. We're expecting about 40-45 people...and yes this is just immediate family...LOL...parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles and one cousin. I've been preparing food all day today and night...actually just laid down in bed not too long ago.

a GOOD Fairy Step-Mother's picture

I'm a 32 yr old woman with no children of my own. No previous marriage, just 1 long relationship before my DH. I've been with DH for 6 years. We've lived together for 3.5, been married for 2.
I have 1 SD9 who is a good kid, with mostly normal kids problems (IE:rudeness, talking back, not picking up after herself). We have considered me a SM from very early on because DH and I lived together, and were always serious about or commitment to each other.

Do you buy clothes for your SKs?

EmmaGirl's picture

BM and SO have joint custody of SK so that means splitting the bill, which includes shoes, clothes, food, tuition fees, etc.

SO and I co-own a business but it's still in its start-up stage. I earn more than SO but we combine our earnings and both pay each other's bills (I also help him pay his debt before we got married).

SK is living with us 50% of the time. I hate the BM and I've no plans of talking to her. SK is OK.
