Im a step mum to a 3 year old but she lives with her mum....she wasnt planned, and now that we're trying for our own im hoping it will be as easy....but i have my doubts!
do you have your own children?
I'm also a Stepmum, one boy, one girl aged 8 & 10 who live with us.
I also have shed loads of hassle from the darling ex-wife but i won't start ranting too much, the page isn't big enough!!! My latest moan is someone has told her SIL that i'm pregnant, so instead of asking me or my husband about it she started quizzing the daughter about it, we had told her and said that it was up to her if she choose to tell people (i was just 12wks) and fair play she told mummy she didn't have a clue what she was talking about, a little worrying that she could lie bare faced to her mother like that though!!
It's not easy being a mum to someone else's kids, whether it's full time or just a few days at a time, sometimes think i'm mad having one of our own but why should we put our life on hold just cos of one psycho?
Anyway 3 yrs on and psycho has agreed to have them together for the first time, since they came here she has only seen them one at a time cos she can't cope with them together! But i'm supposed to!!!
Some people really shouldn't be allowed to have more children when they can't be bothered look after the ones they got, waiting for ex to announce she's pregnant again, that's her style!
we struggle to see my DH daughter, her mum is over protective...even sleeps in the same room as her.....we would love to be able to have her overnight just once, although agree 10 weeks is a bit excessive!!
does anyone manage to have a 'normal' relationship when dealing with step kids and exs?!?
So why cant people put their childrens intrests first and make their lives as easy and simple as possible. DP's x just see's the kids as weapons she can use against him and I feel so sorry for them.
