What makes us different than them? SM's vs BM's

BMJen's picture

It was brought up on another site that I'm a member of that "the same guys that picked us, also picked them once". Wow. Does that sentence not speak volumes? Really, when you get right down to it, the same man that loves "us" (sm's) also once, in alot of cases, loves them (bm's). So the same man, with the same values, the same preferences, the same pretty much everything chose two totally different people? Wonder why that is? Or do we have more in common with BM than we care to admit?

Quiet... is nice!

So, things have been quiet for me and my home for a few weeks. Not to many complaints. Well, I came up with a few, and when I talked to BF about them.... well, I got a different perspective.

When he told me that I was just finding things to fight about and I should just relax... "it is OK if the dishes don't get done EVERY night!!"

I took a day or 2 to think about it. It was a good thing. I understand why I am doing it now after talking to the counselor...

BM keeps changing weekends

At least once every 2 months bitch face BM changes the access weekends which is an absolute inconvenience for me because then i have to change my BS over to the same weekends because we try to have all the kids at the same time, Not only that but i make plans for my free weekends only to have DH call and say "we have the kids this weekend can you have them cos i have to work on saturday" because BM is doing god knows what either working to make her herself money or whatever.

I don't know why I am remembering this but it is funny stuff... Please post your humble moments with your kids.

It's a brisk Sunday morning at a gas station.
I had to drive across town to go get my youngest son from G-ma's
I am running a little late for church, and also need to stop for gas. and while I am pumping gas my kids ask me if they can get a snack before church.
I usually do not allow this but I was hungry and running late.
So I leave the pump and we all go in and get some snacks. Smile

and it was awesome!!!!

i prepared all of dh's documents, pictures, court papers, etc. he looked so professional!!!

the mediator slammed bm! told her she needs counseling to get over her issues with dh moving on. told her she was wasting every ones time. laughed at her attempts to keep ss out of my care. told her to leave her bf if she is so upset that he refuses to marry her. bm says she cant cope with the fact that dh and i will give ss a sibling......

What went wrong??

Hello, I am a stepmomma, have been for 12 years. When I married my husband my stepdaughter was only 2 years old, and now almost 15.We have 2 other children 11yr old girl, and 4yr old boy. We have always had a very good relationship between her and I. And she has always been very close to her Dad. But recently things have changed so dramatically, its almost as if she despises the both of us. Doesn't want to be around us. We communicate well with her mother for the most part. All three of us usually try and work together to keep on the same page.

Who are our issues really with?

I have, until recently, always overlooked my SDs' faults, because really where does the fault lay? In my eyes it really isn't their fault. Children will do what they can get away with, it is their nature. It has always been easy for me to not "hate" them, because I keep this in mind. My stepdaughters (specifically SD17) is the way she is, because DH and BM allow it. Along with SIL and FIL. She feels entitled... because... she IS. They both feel the world is revolved around them... because in their world... it is.

do I really have to put up with this crap for another 9 months...

The disrespect is continuing at our house, every day it gets more and more ridiculous. SD17 called me step-bitch and said when she moves out she is never going to talk to me again. DH did NOTHING and when I got pissed off about the whole thing, DH said there is nothing he can do, and asked me what I would do if I was in his situation. Honestly, I didn't know what to say. I would never have this kind of guilt parenting relationship with one of my own. I am tired of SD17 showing the BD12 and BS6 that its ok to disrespect me and NOTHING happens.
