Merry Christmas
Forums:
Just wanna send out a merry Christmas to all the step parents putting all the work in and getting no acknowledgment or appreciation from the step kids. Been full time dad to 2 step girls put roof over the heads and help in every way and can't even get a Christmas card or gift. Hope none of you in the same situation cause it just makes you realize everything you do is for nothing.
Some step parents and kids get along great. Lucky for you guys. Enjoy the holiday everyone merry Christmas
I hear you
We are having a good Christmas so far but haven't received a call from SD63 or YSS57. We've gone over and above for both during this year. DH87 seems depressed. My DS, DD and OSS have all checked in and with gifts. After all DH has done for them all, and he's been so good and so generous all these years at great cost in time, energy and almost to the point of losing me, it's hard to see.
For sure.
When I try to talk about it I'm always told. They're just kids. What do you expect. I've been the only father figure in their lives for 10 years now. They are 12 and 15. Hard to just say screw it and good bye.
SD63 finally called
She sounded ok, we never know if its "Normal SD" or "Zombie SD". She's going to come over. Sadly, I might miss her, going to visit my mom101. Lol. But I'm happy for DH87, he's perked up.
