Unabashed venting!

Now I am seeing red.....

We thought/hoped that since my attendance at SS's IEP meeting was cleared by his teacher that BM would find out I was allowed to come on that day.

Nope.

First she said the school called her after my DH had spoken with them to "see if [BM] was ok with it". From the way she spoke, my best guess is that she told them NO, she is NOT. She said to my H that she informed them that "[YOU] may go"...ie, only him, not me. More about how I'm not his parent...will she ever stop rubbing that in my face?

Is this normal/appropriate?

My DH and I have been married for just over a year and I find some of his behaviour a little odd when it comes to how he raises his kids. We have 2 - SD14 and SS9 - I have no children of my own. When we first started living together, before we were married, we slept in separate bedrooms, he in with son and me in his bed. Prior to me moving in with them SS slept in dad's bed. We have had trouble getting SS to stay in his own bed even 1 year after marriage.

Let's talk about the bedroom

First of all I'm not interested in talking about the details of anyone's sex life. I would like to talk about how, in this very complicated life we all seem to be living, you work out time to be with your significant other for intimate time. (Not just bedroom gymnastics)

This is a challenge for myself. Finding time to just sit and enjoy one another's company has become an event which requires its own schedule in our home. For me this is a huge challenge as I do not have my own children and have never had to work around anyone else's schedule.

Helloooo!!!!!! Can somebody help me?

Hi! I am newish to this site and am having a little trouble working out how it all works. I can read the posts but don't get how to reply to people or anything and there seems to be all these different symbols of things. I need someone to send me an idiot guide on how to use this site please. I am obviously a bit on the dim side so any help would be appreciated.

A bit about me.....I am a soon to be step mum of 3 boys and live with Bio dad. I have no kids of my own but would desperately love to have one (long story). Bio mum very much on the scene,unfortunately,she is EVIL.

Last nite biodad and I *(the girlfriend) went to biodads son hockey game. An hour before the game starts his son calls biodads mom (he lives with his parents)and says dad has his hockey stick and he needs it. Biodads phone starts ringing and of course it is the biomom but he didnt answer it, he knew it would be some kind of BS again. Son didnt have hockey for 2 weeks and it was on her time, so we knew we didnt have stick...just another load of crap...again. Then she calls my house, of course I didnt answer, she leaves a message...Hello this is Mrs.

Help! Am I crazy?

I think I'm a crazy grown-up. I have 4 sons, a SS, and a SD. My SS is always around, sometimes he can be a pain, but is respectful and listens to me. My SD, 7, is so-so. She can be a sweety and a little monster, I say that with love. She's really a gorgeous little girl, looks just like my DH. That's good and bad. Good cuz she's cute, bad cuz she's not mine. Sad Lately, she has tested me everytime she comes over (Tues and Thurs evening and Sat. night).

Don't Know If I Can Stand Being "StepMom" Anymore...

Lately I'm at my wits end with things that have been going on. I am dissapointed in myself for feeling this way, but I think I need to take a big step back in my role as a stepmom. I have had a few things come up w/ my skids, one w/ my SD. that I posted about already, she only wants to be here when her dad is home, and not "left" with me...??? That issue has resolved itself some, new issue is w/ SS.
